Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2131

Everyone turned to scrutinize Josh Batton's face, whose attention was still on Xyla Quest.

"I don't mind accepting the role, but I'd like to wait until after my wife delivers our baby. I'll choose the right time for it. Will that be acceptable to you guys?"

"Yeah, we understand. We'll try not to do it too soon," Xyla immediately answered.

"We still need a lot more time to prepare before we start shooting this film. There's no rush. Besides, we don't mind waiting for you," Henry Armstrong assured him.

Josh instantly nodded. He had no qualms about it if that was the case.

Georgie Clementine, who was silently watching all this while, leaned against Henry as she gazed at Josh with a sigh. "Time does fly. You were still single when we first met. Now, you're a married man who's worried about his filming schedule because of his wife."

Josh chuckled when he heard this. "Ain't that the truth? Life is full of wonder."

Sometimes, a person's life could change in an instant.

For example, his life changed when Annabeth Cates appeared in it. He never thought she'd become his partner for life or that she'd be able to replace Xyla in his heart when they first met. Their love story took a natural course as time went on.

After the gathering was over, Josh drove to a bakery to buy the cake that Annabeth liked the most.

The bakery staff was still stunned by his presence by the time he'd left and driven away.

At the same time, '#Josh Batton at the bakery#' occupied the number one spot on the list of hot topics, along with a picture of him leaving the bakery, taken by that staff.

There was also a comment attached to the picture. "I didn't think a celebrity would show up this late at night to buy a cake in our bakery. I heard he bought it for Annabeth."

Within ten minutes after this Weibo post was published, the number of forwards, likes, and comments went through the roof-

"Does this mean Annabeth wanted to have some cake at night, and that's why her celebrity husband came out specifically to buy it for her?"

"Isn't Annabeth so lucky? The men in

the Batton family are all amazing husbands. I have a question for Josh's mother. Does she have any unmarried son out there?"

"This is like an idol drama. Am I watching a show on the television right now? Josh and Annabeth must stay together. If they ever get a divorce, I won't believe in love anymore."

"Hahaha! Annabeth is the woman I'm most envious of. Even so, I still want to say that she doesn't deserve Josh."

"I suggest whoever wrote the post

above to get your head checked.df Annabeth doesn't deserve Josh, do you think you deserve him? Will you please look in the mirror and see your huge belly?"

The comment section on the hot topic was very active.

***

Back at home, Annabeth could see everything clearly on her bed.

As a celebrity, her husband's every move would make it onto the list of hot topics. She was used to it by now.

She was also used to attacks from outsiders who said she didn't deserve Josh. She no longer took any of it seriously since she had gotten used to it. Perhaps she had grown tougher after going through so much by Josh's side.

After scrolling through her feed for a while, she spotted a Weibo post from Sharon Lindt, who had changed her username to Fairy Lindt.

She forwarded one of the earlier comments that said, "Annabeth honestly doesn't deserve Josh. I hope she gets lost."

She replied, "You're the one who doesn't deserve Josh. You're just jealous."

Sharon had always behaved this way and was known to be an unusually good mother-in-law among her peers.
