Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2147

Speaking of the devil! Annabeth Cates' mother was calling.

Peggy Howards was only calling to chat with her daughter without any particular reason except to express how much she missed her.

As they chatted, Annabeth realized she hadn't been home for a long time, so she promised her mother that she would go home to see her parents with Josh Batton next week. Peggy agreed with her decision.

After chatting for a long while, they finally hung up, prompting Sharon Lindt to ask, "Are you going home next week?"

Annabeth nodded.

Hearing that, Sharon immediately issued instructions to her son. "Josh, arrange for a private flight for the visit, okay?" Josh immediately nodded. "Of course."

"Let me know when you two are departing. I will prepare some gifts for Annabeth's parents," Sharon said thoughtfully.

Annabeth immediately shook her head when she heard this. "It's fine. I'll bring something for my parents."

"Those are from you," Sharon pointed out seriously. "I'll have my own gifts for them. You have to bring them home so that your parents know I have them on my mind." "They'd know even if you didn't give them anything," Annabeth countered.

She wasn't the only one who felt grateful to the Batton family because even her parents felt the same way.

"I've already decided. Josh, let me know when the time comes," Sharon insisted.

Josh nodded again.

"Josh, bring some good food for them no matter how expensive. Also, spend more time with them when you're there, okay?" Wilson Batton added.

Josh nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. Oh, and ask how they're doing when you get home. See if there's anything they might need, then make sure they get them," Sharon said.

Annabeth felt so touched, knowing the Battons did everything possible to express their love for her parents.

They did so because they cared about her.

Previously, Josh had told her that his parents kept sending gifts to hers while she was here. They proved to treat them very well indeed.

Once she was aware of this, she made sure to remember it.

She could only repay a tiny part of what they did for her by showing them a lot of love.

Annabeth smiled. "Thank you, Dad and Mom."

"Silly girl, you're doing it again. How many times do you want me to say this? It's what we should do asa family, so stop thanking us, al right?" Sharon rolled her eyes. en.swhovels.net

"I should still express my gratitude," Annabeth stated.

"Keep it to yourself and continue eating," her mother-in-law urged.

She nodded obediently.

After the meal, Wilson and Sharon stayed around for a long time before leaving.

Once Josh had seen them off, he began to clean up the kitchen while she relaxed on the couch.

Sometimes, Annabeth genuinely

wanted to help when she saw how

busy he seemed, but she knewal

wouldn't want her to help even if she

offered. n

So, she kept quiet and turned her attention to the television, watching Josh's previous acting projects.
