Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2136

Josh Batton was already used to appearing on the list of hot topics in his line of work.

"It's about milk tea. Everyone's praising you for being a good husband," Annabeth Cates said.

"Oh?"

"Yeah, and they also said they're envious of me. I can relate to that. How did I replace a wonderful husband like you?"

All men enjoyed receiving compliments, especially if they came from their wives.

Josh felt extremely satisfied and hugged her tightly. "Yeah, you've got good taste, and so do I.”

Her heart instantly warmed upon hearing that.

"All right. It's time for bed," he said, smiling as he turned off the lights.

The room became dark and quiet.

"Oh, right. Georgie said I haven't been active enough, so she suggested filming a lifestyle vlog. You can help me out with it tomorrow," he said in the darkness. "Okay, sure."

"In that case, let's film one of me preparing lunch tomorrow," he suggested. "What would you like to eat?"

"Anything, as long as you're the one who made it," she replied.

The next afternoon, Josh quickly began preparing lunch for Annabeth upon returning home.

Meanwhile, she was filming the entire process quietly next to him.

His excellent physique was apparent in a white shirt and long, black pants. He looked like a prince who had shown up at a royal banquet despite wearing an apron.

"For the first dish, I'm making prawns with tomato sauce. It's

currently my wife's favorite dish. Firstly, I need to remove the prawns' innards. Josh explained while he cleaned the prawns, using

one at a time.

He seemed to be very focused while wearing a serious expression. Every move he made seemed dignified, seemingly charming even if he was only cooking. Annabeth was falling for him all over again as she gazed at him through the camera.

Soon, the dish was complete.

Then, he picked up another tomato. "Next, I'm going to make stir-fried eggs and tomatoes, another one of my wife's favorite."

"After that I make three more

dishes; braised sea cucumber, stir-fried broccolini, and

"She needs a healthy diet, especially now that she's pregnant. My mother specifically asked me to put more thought into preparing her meals."

He kept talking in front of the camera, speaking at a moderate rate with a magnetic quality to his voice.

It was as if time stood still.

Sunlight streamed in from outside, filling the spacious kitchen. The camera captured every second of the heartwarming scene.

He'd prepared a total of six dishes, explaining the cooking process the entire time.

Once he was done cooking, he brought all the dishes into the dining room.

Meanwhile, Annabeth carefully took pictures of the appetizing dishes with her camera.
