Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2142

The three of them stood up at the same time.

Seeing that, Sharon Lindt immediately waved at her son. "You should do it."

Josh Batton nodded obediently, then headed into the kitchen while his parents sat back down to chat with Annabeth Cates.

"Tell me, Annabeth, has Josh been good to you lately? You can complain to me if he's done anything to upset you," Sharon said. "Yeah, we'd teach him a lesson if that was the case," her husband said.

They both had eager looks in their eyes.

They seemed to be waiting for Annabeth to complain about their son so that they could punish him.

She laughed helplessly. "There's nothing to complain about as he's very good to me. I'd give him a ten out of ten for his service." "Oh, really?" Wilson asked.

"Yeah."

"I suppose Josh wouldn't dare treat you poorly," Sharon said. "Oh, right. Annabeth, I've brought you some of your favorite snacks. Here, have some." With that, she retrieved some snacks and arranged them in a row. The varieties included beef jerky, candied fruit, biscuits, and chips.

Opening a box of beef jerky, Sharon directly fed Annabeth one. "Here, Darling. Have a bite."

Annabeth accepted the offer sheepishly, nodding as she chewed on it. "This tastes great! It's my favorite."

The beef jerky had a familiar taste and texture.

At this moment, she was feeling thoroughly spoiled.

"Oh, I also brought strawberries. I'll wash them for you right now. Wait here," Sharon said before retrieving two containers from a bag and heading into the kitchen.

Annabeth and Wilson were the only ones left in the living room, so he struck up a conversation. "Sharon bought all these for you, so go ahead and eat." "Okay, thanks," she uttered gratefully.

"Don't mention it," he shrugged. "Oh, we've been meaning to tell you that we've ordered a sports car for you some time ago. It should be arriving soon, so I hope you like it."

Annabeth was shocked.

Why did they order a sports car without informing her in advance?

"I didn't plan on buying a car. Why did you and Mom buy me one all of a sudden?" she couldn't help asking.

"We just wanted to. Sharon had it custom-made based on what you like. I don't think we need a reason to buy you a car, do we?" he questioned. She felt touched by their gesture. "Thank you."

"All right, I don't want to hear those two words again. Have a look when the car arrives. If there's anything you don't like about it, we can get it changed," he told her.

"You and Mom both have great tastes. I'm sure I'd love it."

Frankly, Annabeth didn't have any particular preferences in cars. For her, a car was only a form of transportation.

She hadn't even considered a car, so she was surprised that her in-laws would buy her one.

She had already lost count of the number of things Wilson and Sharon had bought her since she became part of the Batton family.
