The bodyguards surrounded them closely.The human wall around Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates was already solid enough. On top of that, each of them stood at 190 centimeters tall.

If I were them, I would’ve knocked my head against a wall.”“Josh is really handsome. He still looks good despite having his photo taken by a random person on the street…”“He’s still so striking without any makeup on and without being photoshopped. Josh, I’m sure nobody would disagree if I said you are the most handsome person in the entertainment industry.”“Ahh… He’s every woman’s dream. I want to be in Annabeth’s place. D*mn… Annabeth, I’m very jealous of you. Give Josh back to me…”“I really hope Josh will have a daughter with Annabeth. I heard that daughters tend to take after their father.

However, Josh Batton shook his head. “We won’t. It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl… We’ll find out once it’s born, right?”“Yeah, that makes sense… What do you think we should name our daughter or son?” Annabeth Cates asked.“What do you think?” Josh asked.“If it’s a girl, we’ll name her Cecelia, just like a heavenly lily. If it’s a boy, we’ll name him Dawn, in hopes that he stays forever bright like the morning sun, bringing everyone endless warmth and hope…” Annabeth said.“Okay… As you wish,” Josh said with a nod.“Do you like the names?” Annabeth asked.“Yeah.
