Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2130

Josh Batton enjoyed days like this.

Somebody to miss him when he was out, and somebody to wait for him to go home.

Whenever he returned home, the lights would always be left on for him.

"All right. Can you also get me a cup of milk tea?" Annabeth Cates asked.

"Silly girl, you're pregnant. You're not supposed to drink milk tea sold outside. You know this," he chided gently. "I'll prepare some for you when I get home if you really want some, okay?"

His tone was tender, it sounded like he was speaking to a child.

Sherry instantly felt envious of his wife as she eavesdropped.

Annabeth was married to the best celebrity in her heart, while also being the apple of his eye.

"All right, but you don't have to come home so early. I will be staying up to watch tv, anyway," Annabeth said.

"I'll be back early, okay? Be a good girl, and call me if anything comes up. Don't do any chores at home. Leave it all to me, understand?" he asked. "Okay, I'm hanging up. Bye."

He reluctantly put his phone away after his wife finally hung up the phone, noticing Sherry standing in the corner then.

"Hey there,' he waved at her. "Are you here to deliver some drinks?"

At that moment, Sherry felt as if she would soon suffocate at the sight of his handsome features. She stepped forward hastily.

"Yeah, yes... Umm..." she began to stammer.

Josh stepped in and took the bottle of alcohol from her. "I'll bring it inside. You can get back to work."

With that, he turned around and left.

She wanted to speak but couldn't.

She wanted to go inside so that she'd be able to admire him longer that way, but he didn't give her the option.

Helplessly shaking her head, she turned around and left, recalling how tender he sounded as he spoke on the phone. Sherry wondered what it was like to be Annabeth.

Everyone was still chatting when Josh returned to the room with the bottle of red wine.

"Hey, we were just talking about you," Xyla spoke up with enthusiasm when she saw Josh. "I've got something to ask you."

He quickly stepped forward and sat next to her, resting his chin on one hand as he gazed at her. "What's up?"

Xyla promptly launched into her plan to work with Henry Armstrong, explaining about the project.

"What do you think? Would you be interested? I think you'd be perfect for the role as the male protagonist," she added.

He chuckled. "I'll do as the company sees fit. do it if you think I'm thee right person for the role. I'm fine as

long as you're happy." Conto?

In the past, Josh wished her happiness because he loved her deeply Now, his feelings had changed toward her, but he still hoped she would remain happy because he loved his brother.

Stanley would only be happy if his wife was happy, and if she was happy, then everyone would be happy.

In the Batton family, the women's moods determined how at ease the men would feel.

Xyla instantly felt warm in her heart when she heard this. "Since you don't mind, let's call it a sealed deal." "Oh, right..." Josh said, hesitant for a moment.
