Josh Batton was speechless.“This is Annabeth’s favorite food lately. All six of these dumplings are reserved for her. They are not for you,” Sharon Lindt told him sternly.“I was going to get it for Annabeth. I wasn't planning on eating any,” he sighed.Only after hearing this did Sharon smile in a satisfied manner. “That’s good. I was wondering why you’d be so daft,” she replied, smiling in satisfaction upon hearing that.He remained silent and smiled awkwardly before reaching for one fried dumpling and placing it in front of Annabeth Cates, who seemed uneasy.“That’s not necessary," Annabeth spoke up. "I’m fine with eating just two. Don’t you all like it, too? You should all have some.”“We are fine. You can have it all. You’re the most important person in this family,” Wilson Batton stated, pushing the entire plate of fried dumplings over to her.The more they behaved like this, the more embarrassed she felt.Although it was only a plate of ordinary dumplings, she didn’t wa
“Didn’t you say that you have aches around where the doctor injected anesthetics into your body? Did it ache yesterday?” Sharon Lindt asked.“Yeah, it ached in the middle of the night, but it wasn’t too bad,” Annabeth Cates said with a nod.Ever since she'd received the anesthetics shot, the area of the injection site would frequently twinge with pain.She had tried many ways to make it go away, but nothing worked.The doctor and Xyla Quest had told her that it was a side effect of the shot. It would be difficult to recover quickly, so she would have to let it heal in time.“Did you ask Josh to give you a massage?” Sharon asked.She shook her head. “He was already asleep at the time.”“So what if he’s asleep?" Sharon responded indignantly. "Can’t you wake him up? He’s a man. He can take it.”“I didn’t want him to be too tired because we have a show to film today,” she explained.“There’s nothing wrong with waking him up once or twice. Right now, you are the priority," Sharon e
“Hahaha! Josh looks so weak and helpless. It’s clear where he stands in the family.”“I like the Batton family’s vibe the most.”“I find Josh very patient with his daughter. He’s the best husband in the world. Annabeth seems like she doesn’t need to do anything at home.”“Is her name Candice Batton? I envy this girl the most.”“Who wouldn’t feel envious of Candice? Everyone’s favorite idol is her father, and he’s extremely wealthy too. Candice is practically the main protagonist in a fairy tale.”Netizens were already making all sorts of remarks.Josh Batton showed Annabeth Cates all these comments on his phone as they watched the nannies feed their daughter some milk in the nursery.Annabeth subconsciously smiled when she read the netizens’ comments, agreeing with everything they said.Initially, Josh and the others wouldn’t allow her to take a peek at her phone, but she was dying of curiosity and managed to plead with her husband.She ended up reading all these and more as h
The topic occupied the number one spot on the list of hot topics.Netizens began to discuss in excitement—o “Josh is indeed an A-list celebrity. He’s practically the most popular celebrity in the entertainment industry.”“It feels great to be a fan of a top-notch celebrity. I feel lucky to be his fan.”“I heard Annabeth insisted on accepting the show offer. I want to thank her for that.”“As an observer, I have to say I’ve become Josh's fan after watching this show.”“I’m a sixty-year-old woman who has become a fan of Josh and Annabeth today. Watching them is so heartwarming. I’m going to start following them.”“It’s Josh Batton all right.”Georgie Clementine received multiple calls from various sponsors of maternal and infant products unexpectedly, with many of them fighting for the opportunity to have Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates as their ambassadors.Georgie rejected them all without hesitancy with the excuse that Josh was not accepting jobs at the moment.Even so, the
Annabeth Cates leaned against Josh Batton as she wobbled on her feet, only managing to leave the hotel with his help.As they walked out of the lobby, many fans who had followed them were already waiting outside.The fans were very organized despite the huge crowd.Everyone lined up neatly in rows on both sides of the entrance.Young girls began screaming excitedly when they saw their idols coming out—“Josh! Annabeth! We love you! We hope you’ll become more and more successful.”“Josh, take good care of Annabeth. Annabeth, did you have too much to drink?”“Josh, please start focusing on your career. We’ll be with you every step of the way.”Their fans were getting more deafening as their voices melded together.Josh and Annabeth couldn’t hear them clearly, but they still acknowledged them politely.At that point, the fans became even more excited and started cheering louder.Seeing how crowded it was, Josh didn’t dare linger any longer, so he carefully held Annabeth’s hand
As soon as the sunroof opened, the fans could see Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates in his car, and many of them started taking pictures of the two with their phones.Josh ignored them and gently leaned forward to strap on her seat belt.He did the same for himself before turning to press a tender kiss on the back of her hand. He then turned on the engine and drove away.His fans caught his actions, making them feel even more jealous.The young ladies began speaking one after another—“I’m so envious of Annabeth. Josh is so nice to her.”“Although I’ve already accepted their relationship and wish them happiness, I still feel jealous when I see them being intimate with each other. I can’t help it, but even if I’m jealous, I can’t stop being his fan.”“I nearly fainted when I saw him kiss her hand earlier. Josh is doing whatever he wants just because we love him. They look so good together.”“Does anyone think Annabeth looks better and better? She’s delicate and pure. She makes me f
“Yeah, your fans really love you,” Annabeth Cates told him proudly.“Yes, I know,” Josh Batton replied, his eyes softening at the mention of his fans.“I think we should organize a free meet-and-greet with them so that everyone can chat with you. They are so supportive of, so I think you should give back something in return,” she suggested.“Okay," he answered after some consideration. "Let’s wait until the end of the year. We’ll randomly select a few fans from social media platforms to participate.”She nodded in agreement. “They would be so happy when they find out.”“Yeah, I guess so,” he chuckled, proceeding to pick up the speed.His wife instantly warned him when she noticed. “Slow down! Do you think you’re flying a plane?”“I want to get home as soon as possible. I miss our little princess,” he answered with a tender look in his eyes when he spoke about Candice Batton.Right then, he seemed even more gentle.Her gaze softened when she heard him. “Yeah, me too. But there'
“I envy that woman sitting on the passenger seat. I’m extremely jealous.”After briefly going through the comments, Annabeth Cates swiped to the next video.The next video was also related to her and Josh Batton.In the video, an entertainment blogger published something related to Annabeth being promoted as Josh’s manager.People were still spamming in the comment section.However, Annabeth didn’t click into it. Instead, she directly swiped past it.She entertained herself with videos of pretty ladies dancing.Josh saw Annabeth enjoying herself. “Do you like watching videos of ladies dancing on TikTok that much?” Josh asked curiously.Annabeth nodded. “Yeah. Don’t you think they look pretty? They dance so well…”Josh chuckled a little. “No, I don’t. I think nobody is as good-looking as my wife.”Annabeth blushed when she heard this. “Beauty lies in the eyes of its beholder. Every girl looks prettier than me on TikTok…”“That’s just an issue with your aesthetic preference…”
