Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2140

Annabeth Cates silently embraced Josh Batton and remained silent.

It was a tender moment which he enjoyed greatly, just spending time with her.

He'd led a fast-paced lifestyle day and night back when he worked hard in the entertainment industry.

Now that he occasionally took things slower, he found that it wasn't too bad, either.

"Besides, I need some rest, too. Do you want me to collapse from exhaustion? Can't I take a break while you're pregnant?" he asked. "Okay, fine."

"Annabeth, remember this. Money and fame are important, and so is status. However, nothing can compare to you and our child," he insisted. Her heart warmed at his words. Josh was such a perfect man, and he loved her so much. What did she ever do to deserve him?

They quietly embraced each other while watching tv and eating snacks. It was a peaceful time.

Approximately half an hour later, the doorbell rang, prompting Josh to straighten up to open the door.

Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton were standing outside, carrying bags of various sizes containing edible goods.

They brought vegetables and also supplements.

He immediately reached for the bags. "Why did you come over so early? Also, why did you bring so much stuff?"

Sharon immediately walked in and changed into slippers. "I didn't buy these for you. It's all for Annabeth. I came earlier to cook for you two so that she wouldn't insist on cooking. I'd feel awful if that happened." With that, she walked over to her daughter-in-law and sat next to her.

At that moment, Annabeth felt surrounded by happiness.

Josh laughed. "It feels like Xyla and Annabeth are your daughters while Stanley and I aren't important at all!"

Josh had no retort at all.

Annabeth smiled at his parents when Wilson approached her then. "Dad, Mom."

"Hey, how are you feeling today?" Wilson asked.

"I feel great," she replied with a smile. "Josh has been taking good care of me."

Sharon gave her son a satisfactory glance. "That's good! I saw his vlog, and he did so well. I ought to commend him."

"Everyone has been taking good care of me. How could I not be in the pink of health? Dad, Mom, Honey, thank you all."

She could never repay the Batton family's kindness.

Apart from thanking them, she didn't know what else to say.

"Silly girl, don't mention it. We are a family. It's only right that we
