I’m so envious.”“I can sense that the guy is very good-looking. He must look handsome if he takes off his mask.”“He looks like a celebrity to me, but I can’t remember who exactly.”Hearing their conversations, Annabeth and Josh hastened their way to the fourth floor to avoid b

It’s Josh Batton!”With screams erupting all around them, people on the first floor began to notice and started joining the crowd who ran after them.Josh had encountered something like this countless times.He remained calm and continued running out of the mall with Annabeth in his arms.She could see the crowd charging toward them like a swarm of flies. They were about to be surrounded by a shockingly large number of people.“They’re catching up! We have to hurry,” she exclaimed, clutching Josh tightly. In front of them, several people who had just walked through the entrance started to notice them as well and ran frantically toward them.Fortunately, there weren’t as many people.After looking around, he

Seeing nobody behind them then, Josh Batton instantly closed the door.They could still hear people screaming outside.Soon, the sounds faded along with their footsteps until they were completely gone, making Josh and Annabeth Cates heave sighs of relief while exchanging glances.Josh seemed exhausted as he leaned against the door, out of breath.After putting her and the numerous shopping bags down, he peeked through the gaps in the door. “Phew, they’re finally gone.”Annabeth was still in a state of shock. “Yeah.”Frowning slightly, he removed his sunglasses. “I’m sorry that you can’t even shop peacefully. People always end up recognizing me,” he sighed apologetically, feeling genuinely sorry about this.His wife had been robbed of an ordinary life by being married to him. They always lived their lives in front of the camera.They would be photographed whenever they went out shopping or going to the movies, even merely walking on the streets.They also had to constantly ador

The living room was empty, but Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates could hear the sound of chopping of meat coming from the kitchen.They could also hear Bobby Cates and Peggy Howards laughing.It felt very warm in the house. Coupled with the vibrant noises, the two of them felt extremely at ease.They placed everything they bought by the main door before washing their hands in the bathroom.Then, they entered the kitchen together to find Annabeth's parents chatting as her father chopped meat with two knives while Peggy diced onions.It was a heart-warming scene.The pot next to them was already boiling, with steam rising from it to fill the room and making it seem a little smokey.Peggy immediately smiled when she saw them enter. “Why did you two come in?

Peggy Howards continued to dice onions while gazing at Josh Batton. “I'm really fond of you, Josh. You have an even more wonderful personality than your appearance suggests. My daughter is very lucky to have found you.“Annabeth is a kind-hearted person, but she can be a little reckless with her words sometimes. I hope you won’t mind if she says anything to annoy you. Please try to bear with her.“Of course, you can always come to me if there’s anything you can’t handle with her. I can speak to her about it,” she added.Josh nodded gently. “There’s nothing about Annabeth that I have a problem with because I think she’s great in every aspect. Besides, men are supposed to be tolerant toward their wives. As long as she doesn’t cross any lines, I’d be more than fine with it.”She felt even more assured when she heard this.“You’re truly wonderful. Thank you,” she said, smiling in contentment.“Annabeth is even more wonderful. You and Dad have raised her well,” he complimented.“How'
