Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1937

The production crew members were mesmerized by the romantic song once again.

It was a wonderful setting where they all felt envious, but none of them could look away.

"I forgot to ask you earlier, what's the title of this song?" Annabeth Cates asked with a smile after Josh Batton stopped singing.

"You're My Love," he answered without hesitation.

When Annabeth heard this, she felt warm in her heart again.

'You're My Love.'

The song title was beautiful too.

"Do you like it?" he asked.

"Yes, I like it."

"Annabeth?"

"Hmm?"

"You're my love," he declared.

Annabeth instantly blushed, unable to hide her embarrassment at all.

"Would you like to listen to it again?" Josh asked.

"It's fine. You must be tired. Come on, let's go outside," Annabeth suggested.

"Okay, we'll take a break. Would you like something to drink?"

Annabeth thought about it for a few seconds. "No. Can you check why my ice cream hasn't arrived? I just want that."

Josh glanced helplessly at Annabeth before opening the food delivery app on his phone to check the status.

Ding-dong.

Ding-dong, ding-dong.

The doorbell started ringing right then, prompting her to stand up with great enthusiasm.

"It must be the ice cream! I'll go and get it."

Josh immediately stood up and forcefully sat her back down on the couch, ruffling her hair gently. "I'll go. You're pregnant, why are you moving around?" "Being pregnant doesn't mean I can't look after myself," she argued.

"Be a good girl."

With that, Josh directly walked out of the piano room to answer the door, opening it.

A female delivery person was standing outside.

As soon as she saw Josh, she was so shocked that she couldn't move.

"Idol-idol-you're my idol," she stammered helplessly. "I thought you were someone else with the same name."

"Nice to meet you," Josh smiled gently at her.

The woman felt as if her heart was melting when he smiled at her. She couldn't describe the excitement she was feeling.

"Umm, here's the ice cream you ordered."

When the woman saw the crew members behind Josh, she immediately shrank to avoid the cameras. "Josh, you're filming. In that case, I shouldn't disturb you." Although she was reluctant to leave, she didn't want to disrupt her idol's work because she was a loyal fan.

Wasn't her idol way too handsome?

He was practically an angel.

She couldn't even see a single pore on his skin.

How could his face be so perfect?

Why was he so flawless?

He had a small face, too.

'Arghh!' the woman was internally screaming.

"Yes, thank you," Josh said before gently closing the door.

Right then, Annabeth was skipping her way into the living room.

As soon as he turned around, he caught her in the act, making him pinch his forehead before quickly walking towards her.

"Didn't I tell you not to skip around? What if you end up hurting yourself?" He had a worried look on his face.

"Miscarrying is no laughing matter. You might end up dead!" Josh looked serious.

Knowing he was only worried about her, she felt warm in her heart again.

Josh only had eyes for her.

"I'm sorry, I forgot. Now, can I have my ice cream?"

"Call me 'Darling', and I'll give it to you," Josh told her.

"Darling. My wonderful Darling," she said, grinning.

Josh held her hand and led her to the couch, retrieving a small

container once they settled in.

Opening it, he scooped out a

spoonful before feeding it to

Annabeth.

She had not had ice cream in a long while. Now that it was in front of her, she quickly ate it.

The dense, milky flavor spread in her mouth, making Annabeth feel happy.

For people who lived in the north, nothing was better than eating ice cream in a heated room on a winter day.

A single mouthful of ice cream could get rid of all the heat in one's body.

Soon after devouring the spoonful in her mouth, Annabeth stared with

longing at the container. She was hoping he would give her another spoonful.

"You said you'd only have one spoonful," Josh reminded.

She instantly raised one finger. "Darling, just one more. Please, I'm begging you."

She wanted it badly.

Very much so.

Seeing how pitiful she seemed, Josh gave in and fed her another spoonful.

And then, once given an inch, Annabeth wanted a mile.

She repeatedly used the same method to convince Josh to feed her over and over again.

Each time, he couldn't refuse her, relenting whenever she asked for another spoonful of ice cream.

The affectionate look in his eyes was very apparent.

The production team all felt envious, but gradually they learned to get used to it.

After a while, Annabeth eventually finished the entire container of ice cream, perplexing her husband by the time he realized it.

He had a helpless look in his eyes when he saw the empty ice-cream container.

He immediately shook his head and looked at Annabeth as if she was a child. "How could an adult have such little self-control? Hmm?"

Annabeth scratched her head awkwardly. "I-I simply couldn't resist it. Perhaps, the baby wanted it."

Annabeth was never like this in the past.

However, ever since she became pregnant, she'd feel compelled to eat whatever she wanted right away.

She had to eat until she satisfied the urge, or she would feel awful.

Perhaps, Annabeth thought, the baby in her stomach made her crave such things.

Josh shook his head helplessly once again. "I can't stand it. What am I going to do with you?"

He began murmuring to himself a

minute later. “It doesn't seem like

can

much to you, so what should

I do? guess I'll just have to pamper

you."

UMS

When Annabeth heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Beep, beep, beep.

His phone started ringing, interrupting their conversation.

Josh glanced at his phone on the coffee table.
