Josh Batton’s fans were very passionate, but they knew their boundaries.They carefully took a few pictures with Josh and Annabeth Cates before bidding farewell and leaving reluctantly.Meanwhile, Josh and Annabeth saw them off and departed from the neighborhood together.After leaving the neighborhood, they returned to Annabeth’s house.The moment they walked into the house, Annabeth’s phone started ringing.A news article was published on Weibo. “Annabeth and Josh showed up in Whittingham, Belleville, for skewers.”Annabeth didn’t expect news to travel so fast.After all, it was already quite late at night.When she tapped on the news article, she saw a screenshot of a few group photos of her with Josh and his three female fans shared by a marketing account on Weibo.The photos came from the three girls, respectively.They all published those photos with captions that matched their excitement. “Ahh… Who would’ve guessed that we’d bump into Josh in our neighborhood?”Apart

However, there were already more than three million shares, likes, and comments below it.Josh Batton was forever receiving the greatest amount of attention—“I feel bad for those two who couldn’t recognize Josh. 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. If that’s true, we’d have another beauty in the world.”The fans’ words were all laden with a passionate love for Josh and jealousy toward Annabeth Cates.Although there were

Whenever Annabeth Cates looked at Josh Batton, she’d feel like she was the luckiest woman in the world.That was because she was with the man that many women desired.“What are you thinking?” Josh felt very much at ease.“Nothing… I just feel that I’m fortunate,” Annabeth replied.“Silly girl… Let’s get cleaned up for bed,” Josh said.After the shower, Josh personally carried Annabeth into the bedroom.The way he carried her like a gentleman made her feel moved again.Although Josh pampered her, it wasn’t love.After returning to the bedroom, Josh switched off the lights.After that, he placed her on the bed with the help of the streetlight outside the window.After that, he naturally walked over to the window and closed the curtains.Suddenly, the entire world became dark.In the next second, Josh found his way to the bed and lay down next to Annabeth,He then naturally held her in his arms.Living with Annabeth was much more comfortable than he had imagined.Although h

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. I like any name you come up with…” Josh said.Annabeth smiled happily in the dark.After that, she subconsciously placed her hand over her lower abdomen.Right then, Josh’s hand happened to be on her lower abdomen too.When she put her hand there, it happened to rest right on top of Josh’s hand.Josh naturally held her hand.These days, Josh’s heart had not stopped being restless with Annabeth close in his

Right then, Xyla Quest had a stern expression on her face. She sat on the main seat at the U-shaped conference table while listening to reports from each department head on their respective department’s recent performance.Each department seemed to have done very well.After listening to their reports, Xyla snapped her fingers satisfactorily. “Okay. If there’s nothing else, let’s call it a day…”After that, Xyla stood up and left the conference room.As soon as she walked out, Georgie Clementine called her on the phone.Xyla instantly answered the call.“Xyla, the female celebrity who recently got popular because of a school-based web drama series, Jane Fey, told me she wanted to cancel her contract a while ago. As it was a one-sided termination on her part, I said she had to pay us ten times the amount based on the contract. She doesn’t seem very happy with it, and she said she would expose us on Weibo…” Georgie said.Xyla shrugged nonchalantly as she continued walking. “Let he

If Georgie Clementine hadn’t mentioned this name, Xyla Quest would’ve forgotten all about it.This name used to represent her entire world, but now it couldn’t feel farther away.Xyla genuinely hadn’t heard about this person for a long time.She also hadn’t thought of him for the longest time.Xyla figured this was probably the reason why she found it so distant.“What is it? Of course, I remember him…” Xyla said.“He was caught doing drugs with a few women in a hotel. One of the service crew reported him to the police.“The police then went over…“And immediately arrested him. Things blew up, and his father was made aware of it.“His father was furious and decided to ignore Tom. Instead, he let the police arrest Tom. With Tom offering drugs to other people, on top of doing drugs himself, I’d guess he would be in prison for a few years at the very least…” Georgie couldn’t hide the joy in her voice.“I’m so glad that this jerk finally got what he deserved!” Georgie said.Tom

To be honest, when Xyla Quest heard from Georgie Clementine about Tom Sullivan’s downtrodden state, she wasn’t as excited as Georgie on the inside.In comparison, Xyla was much calmer.It was probably because she already had her revenge against Tom previously.Perhaps, it was also due to Emily Quest’s death and all the bad things that happened to Tom and his family one after another. Xyla could already find it in her to let the past stay in the past.The Sullivan family no longer deserved her emotions in any way.Xyla felt that life was quite miraculous.Often, when one felt that obstacles were impossible to get past, one would look back after overcoming such obstacles and think it wasn’t all that bad after all.Most of the feelings of hatred that one used to think were impossible to let go of might fade away as time went on. The better one lived, the sooner it all went away.In fact, one might even laugh about all the things that used to hurt oneself.All wounds left scars be

Xyla Quest knocked on the door.“Come in…” Georgie Clementine said.Xyla quickly opened the door.There was a low, long table with many luxurious cushions around it.Right then, Georgie was the only person inside. She was looking down at her phone.Xyla removed her shoes and walked over to Georgie before sitting down next to her. She then glanced at Georgie’s phone. “What are you reading?” Xyla asked.Georgie put her phone on the table and pushed it over to Xyla.It was a news article from Weibo.The title of the news article was ‘Wannabe Women of Atlantis’.Immediately after that, the content of the article came into view.It clearly stated how groups of such women existed in Atlantis.All the women in these groups were young, superficial, and money-minded.They worked to get closer to people in high society, and they all presented themselves as classy folks.As they couldn’t afford the expensive lifestyle of upper-class folks, they came up with the idea of renting stuff.
