Similarly to his wife, Josh Batton also meant what he said from the bottom of his heart. He wasn’t holding back any of his genuine thoughts.Annabeth Cates's gaze softened upon hearing his words, feeling touched as her eyes reddened without her realizing it.The reporters shared her feelings, especially the female ones who were naturally more sentimental.Everyone knew Josh well and believed that he’d never lie.At that moment, they felt even more envious of his wife.Then, some reporters shifted their attention to Sharon Lindt and Xyla Quest—“Ms. Quest, I heard that you’ve practically been around every single day since Ms. Cates gave birth. Are you very close to her?”“Ms. Lindt, Annabeth just gave birth to an adorable baby girl. How do you feel? I heard you’ve been taking care of her these days, haven’t you?”Annabeth continued to smile as she handed the microphone over to her mother-in-law.Sharon smiled and glanced at everyone. “Of course, I’m happy and excited, too. I ho
“Ahh! Annabeth does seem happy. She’s glowing all over.”“Oh my god! Isn’t that Josh’s mother, Sharon Lindt? She has fair skin and long, beautiful legs. She’s so young and attractive. Indeed, she’s a woman from a wealthy family.”“Ms. Lindt is the best mother-in-law in Country Z. I like her a lot. I’ve become a fan!”“I can tell how good Josh is to his daughter. Look at how he carries her. He’s so careful. It’s almost like he’s holding a one-of-a-kind treasure.”“As a fan, I’m so glad to see Josh being happy like this. I’m happy for him from the bottom of my heart.”“I’m very envious of Annabeth. She’s such a lucky girl.”“Xyla and Stanley look good together. I can’t stop looking at them.”Everyone seemed excited, judging from the various comments on the internet.Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates were not aware of these back in their house.After arriving home, the family brought Annabeth and Candice Batton to the master bedroom before Sharon fetched some fresh food and water.
Peggy Howards instantly shook her head at that. “No, you’re already doing so much to look after Annabeth. You don’t need to worry about us. Since we’ve seen our daughter and granddaughter, it's better to head back since there’s not much to do here.”Josh Batton was also reluctant to let them leave. “Dad and Mom, please don’t leave so soon. You can spend more time here with Annabeth.”“Yes, spend more time with me, won’t you?” Annabeth Cates asked.“You have Josh's parents here with you, and they’re more than enough. You’re going through postpartum recovery," Peggy told her. "There are so many people here, and there’s nothing we can do to help out. If we stay, you would have to look after us, too, so forget it.”Seeing that her parents had already made up their minds, Annabeth didn’t say anything further because she knew exactly what they were thinking.Even Sharon could see how determined they were, so she didn't argue. Instead, she turned to look at Wilson Batton. “Honey, go and
Annabeth Cates wanted to peek at the list of hot topics and read some current news.She really couldn’t hold back any longer after being off her phone for an entire week.She believed she could be obedient at first and only use her phone after postpartum recovery but then realized that it was harder to adhere to than she expected.After opening Weibo, she saw ‘#Annabeth interviewed after being discharged#’ on the number one spot on the list of hot topics.Even without clicking on it, she already knew what everyone was saying, so she ignored it and continued to browse the other hot topics on the list.While doing so, she suddenly realized she had a massive amount of private messages in her inbox.Clicking into her inbox, she found numerous messages from Josh’s fans—“Annabeth, we can tell how happy Josh is because of his daughter. Thank you!”“Annabeth, I guess you must be an angel God sent to look after Josh. I love you.”“Take good care of your daughter and treat Josh right.
Annabeth Cates felt so helpless when she saw part of her phone sticking out of Sharon Lindt’s pocket but managed to suppress her urge.It’d all be fine after her postpartum recovery.Beep, beep, beep—Josh Batton’s phone started ringing right then, so he instantly answered.It was Georgie Clementine.“Hey, Josh. Atlantis TV plans to kick off a variety show about a couples’ daily life. They think your family will be perfect for this show since your daughter was just born.“Would you be interested? You don’t need to do much to participate, only to live your life normally. The production crew will go over to your house to film your life.“All three of you are very popular right now. Moreover, your fans are also asking for you to participate in shows like this.“Mainly, it’s because they want to watch your daily interaction as a family. Also, many of them haven’t seen you for the longest time, and they miss you.“What do you think? Would you like to take part?” she asked.“I thin
“If you’re willing, the production team will start filming with you and broadcast the first six episodes of you first.“For your parts, they will film one day and then broadcast the content the next day.“If you agree, the crew will go over to your house to film starting tomorrow for the next six consecutive days. All six episodes will be complete within a week,” Georgie Clementine explained on the ongoing phone call.Annabeth Cates nodded in approval. “Sure, then that’s what we’ll do.”“Okay, great! They’ll start filming at your place each day from seven in the morning until ten in the evening.”“All right, sure,” Annabeth replied and then hung up when they had finished the conversation.Josh Batton had a helpless look in his eyes. “I don’t know what to do with you.”“Honey, we don’t need to make much of an effort. We just have to live as we do. There’s no harm in taking part in a show like this,” she voiced. “Don’t you need a variety show like this to maintain your popularity?
“Where is Ms. Cates?” the director asked when he couldn't see Annabeth Cates around.Josh Batton smiled and carefully picked up Candice Batton from the cradle. “She’s still sleeping, but it’s fine. You can start with us first. My wife just delivered not too long ago and needs her rest.” The director acknowledged with a nod.“Waah… Waah…”Candice suddenly started crying right then, making her father panic.He carefully rocked her in his arms. “What’s the matter, Honey? Hmm? Did you poop?”He placed her back on the cradle to check her diaper, making sure she wasn't soiled before he gently picked her up again. “Oh, I know. You’re hungry, aren’t you?”He handed his daughter over to Sharon Lindt before walking side to prepare a bottle of milk, using his wrist to test the temperature until he was satisfied.He returned to Sharon’s side and carried the crying baby into his arms before sitting on the white wool rug to feed her.He seemed so sure of what to do.Candice stopped crying
The breakfast laid out in the dining room looked sumptuous.The dishes included bird’s nests, a seafood stew, fried dumplings, soy milk, porridge, and many types of appetizers.Annabeth Cates found herself starving when she saw those delicious dishes.Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton smiled as they watched her reaction, taking turns scooping food onto her plate and filling her bowl with bird’s nests.They did all these carefully as if they were looking after a child, invoking even more feelings of envy among the female crew members.After Josh Batton finished feeding Candice Batton upstairs, he made his way to the dining room and sat next to his wife. He then started eating.He also took good care of Annabeth.“Oh, Josh, we are running low on diapers, so you should go get some more,” Sharon said.“Okay.”“Also, buy some snacks Annabeth likes while you’re at it,” she added.“Okay, I will.”“Don’t buy anything that’ll upset her stomach, got it?” his father asked.He nodded obed
