Whenever Xyla Quest was in a bad mood, Stanley Batton would buy her purses.“I’d buy you a hundred as long as you’re happy,” he said.“But I don’t want purses anymore," she told him. "I already have all the newest designs.”“In that case, I’ll buy you clothes,” he countered.Xyla considered briefly before nodding.It was time to buy some new clothes as spring was around the corner.She hadn’t bought clothes for spring.The two of them immediately came to a consensus, so he brought her to Goldfield Plaza.News that the president and his wife were on the premises took everyone by surprise.All the managers nervously approached them, following them from behind as the couple walked around for a while, only leaving them alone when Stanley told them to.He purchased lots of clothes for Xyla as she practically selected everything she saw without even trying them on.She did the same thing with brands of different qualities.Within a short time, up to a hundred bodyguards behind th

It looked like a carefully crafted idol drama scene with wealthy folks featured in it.Everyone present looked either like wealthy siblings or couples.The party of four turned their attention to Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton when they arrived.Gary Lakes casually dealt a card. “Do you want to play in the next round, Stanley?”Stanley stepped forward with Xyla in his arms, prompting a waiter to bring two chairs over right then.They sat down immediately, Xyla leaning against her husband as he spoke. “Xyla will play, but I’ll pass.”“Deal,” Gary replied.Xyla hadn’t been out to do anything fun for a long while, so she was eager to join in.Truthfully, it wasn't only poker she was excited about. There were many other things she wanted to do after being cooped up at home for so long.Even the air felt more refreshing outside as everything she saw felt exciting.“Xyla, these people seem to be very lucky tonight. You’d better pay close attention later,” Gary warned.“It’s fine. A

The waitress panicked upon seeing that, grabbing a napkin as she knelt on the ground, wiping Josh Batton’s pants frantically while she apologized. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”Josh just smiled dismissively. “It’s fine.”He had always been kind and polite to people around him, not caring much about what happened. All he needed was a new pair of pants.Nearby, Henry Armstrong frowned in annoyance, glaring at the clumsy waitress. “What’s going on? Are you new to this job?”She gasped, attempting to explain while continuing her wiping motion. “I was nervous because he’s my idol.”Henry's facial expression relaxed into an amused grin. “I see. All right, I understand now.”Josh immediately beamed when he heard that. “Would you like an autograph?”“Yes, please.” Her eyes lit up as she spoke, quickly retrieving a small notepad and a pen from her pocket before handing them over to him.He opened the notepad and promptly signed on an empty page before returning them to her.She pocketed the

Stanley Batton was a man of few words most of the time, preferring to hold Xyla Quest in his arms while he drank and listened to her.He never had eyes for anyone else.The others still found it sweet despite being so used to seeing the couple being intimate with each other.While everyone was chatting, Josh Batton’s phone started ringing. He answered instantly when he saw Annabeth Cates calling, hurrying outside while the others continued to chat.“Xyla, I’m working on a new project. Would you be interested in it?” Henry Armstrong asked.“You’ve got to tell me what it is first,” Xyla said, chuckling.“I’ve got my hands on a good script. It’s based on a fantasy novel that’s unusually popular this year. It’s an adaptation that stays true to the original story, and I plan to make it into a film. Would you be interested to invest in it?” Henry asked.“I’m just going to put this out there. If we’re going to work on this together, you’ll have to hire more actors from our company,” sh

Josh Batton enjoyed days like this.Somebody to miss him when he was out, and somebody to wait for him to go home.Whenever he returned home, the lights would always be left on for him.“All right. Can you also get me a cup of milk tea?” Annabeth Cates asked.“Silly girl, you’re pregnant. You’re not supposed to drink milk tea sold outside. You know this," he chided gently. "I'll prepare some for you when I get home if you really want some, okay?”His tone was tender, it sounded like he was speaking to a child.Sherry instantly felt envious of his wife as she eavesdropped.Annabeth was married to the best celebrity in her heart, while also being the apple of his eye.“All right, but you don’t have to come home so early. I will be staying up to watch tv, anyway,” Annabeth said.“I’ll be back early, okay? Be a good girl, and call me if anything comes up. Don’t do any chores at home. Leave it all to me, understand?” he asked. “Okay, I’m hanging up. Bye.”He reluctantly put his ph

Everyone turned to scrutinize Josh Batton’s face, whose attention was still on Xyla Quest. “I don’t mind accepting the role, but I’d like to wait until after my wife delivers our baby. I’ll choose the right time for it. Will that be acceptable to you guys?”“Yeah, we understand. We’ll try not to do it too soon,” Xyla immediately answered.“We still need a lot more time to prepare before we start shooting this film. There’s no rush. Besides, we don’t mind waiting for you,” Henry Armstrong assured him.Josh instantly nodded. He had no qualms about it if that was the case.Georgie Clementine, who was silently watching all this while, leaned against Henry as she gazed at Josh with a sigh. “Time does fly. You were still single when we first met. Now, you’re a married man who’s worried about his filming schedule because of his wife.”Josh chuckled when he heard this. “Ain't that the truth? Life is full of wonder.”Sometimes, a person’s life could change in an instant.For example, h

Soon, Josh Batton walked out of the room while Annabeth Cates sat by the bed and ate the cake he'd bought. Meanwhile, she continued to look through some photos and videos of Josh at events on Weibo. Recently, he'd only worked one to two hours a day, sometimes not at all, because of her pregnancy.Therefore, there was very little news about him on the internet.For that reason, fans appreciated it even more each time he appeared, paying even more attention to him whenever his name came up.While scrolling, Annabeth ended up clicking into a forum dedicated to Josh. In there, fans posted all sorts of compliments and messages asking people to vote for him on various platforms.She could sense how much his fans loved him through the forum.
