Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1637

Although Annabeth Cates knew that she would soon meet Josh Batton's parents, she didn't think it would happen this suddenly and this soon.

She still felt nervous.

Would Josh's mother, Sharon Lindt, like her?

Would it unfold like how it does in idol dramas?

For example, would Sharon bribe her with a lot of money to leave Josh?

Annabeth hoped not.

The fact that Sharon bought clothes for Annabeth should mean that she didn't dislike Annabeth.

Right then, Annabeth suddenly had a lot of questions on her mind.

She unintentionally became tense.

When Josh saw her like this, he naturally knew what she was thinking.

Josh naturally embraced her. "Alright, don't worry. My mother won't eat you. She knows you're pregnant, and she couldn't be happier about it..." "Really?" Annabeth was pleasantly surprised.

"Yeah... Haven't I told you about my mother? She's a child at heart. She's very approachable, and she doesn't care who her children marry," Josh said.

"No, I should say that she doesn't care about who marries whom except for my brother, Stanley..." Josh added.

"Stanley?" Annabeth asked.

"Yeah. But my brother's condition is unique... In the past, he had a grave health issue that had something to do with his blood. Coincidentally, his blood type is unique and rare. There aren't many people in the world who share the same blood type....

"For his illness, he needed a regular blood transfusion. Back then, my grandfather went through a lot of trouble to replace a blood donor to provide him with a constant blood supply. Finally, however, just to be safe my grandfather felt that we needed someone else as a backup option...

"That's why they found my sister-in-law, Xyla Quest. After that, they forced the two of them to get married. That's how they kept my sister-in-law by my brother's side..." Josh explained carefully.

"Does that mean they aren't truly in love?" Annabeth was a little shocked.

It turned out that there was such a story between Stanley Batton and Xyla Quest...

"They are in love, but it only happened after they became married," Josh said.

"I see."

"Apart from Stanley, my parents had never interfered with anyone else's marriage in the family. This is because they feel that their children's happiness is of utmost importance, unlike other wealthy families..." Josh added.

Annabeth felt greatly relieved to hear this...

"I feel relieved." Annabeth let out a long sigh.

"Alright, don't overthink. Hurry up and get out of bed. Get ready to head down and meet my mother. My father is abroad for a friend's gathering. He was delighted when he found out this morning, and he's already booked a flight home.

"He should be arriving around noon. He'll come over once he arrives..." Josh said in a serious tone.

"We, the younger generation, should be the ones visiting your parents, but they're the ones coming to see me. I feel embarrassed..." Annabeth felt very embarrassed when she thought of this.

However, Josh seemed calm about it. "Our family doesn't care about these things. Alright, hurry up and get ready," he said.

With that, Josh let go of Annabeth and left the room.

Once Josh had left, Annabeth nervously ran into the bathroom.

She took a shower before bringing all the luxury items Josh had bought into the closet.

After placing the bags on the floor, Annabeth carefully examined the contents of each bag. She discovered that Sharon not only bought outfits and undergarments, but she also bought skincare products and cosmetic goods. There was even a box of disposable contact lenses, make-up brushes, and a box of beauty blenders.

Everything Annabeth needed to get ready to meet her future in-laws were provided.

Annabeth felt a sense of warmth spread in her heart.

She didn't think Sharon would be this considerate.
