Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2152

Peggy Howards was also speechless.

Right then, both parents appeared to be dumbfounded.

"What's all this? Do you always spend so frivolously? You could save up the money," Bobby Cates said.

Annabeth Cates' parents led a frugal lifestyle, rarely spending on anything deemed unnecessary.

Although their daughter had married into a wealthy family and the Cates family had also amassed a small fortune, they still weren't used to the lavish lifestyle.

Josh Batton grinned politely. "How can buying gifts for our parents be considered frivolous? This white suitcase contains things from us while the black one contains gifts from my parents," he told them as he carried the suitcases to the living room.

He then placed them on the floor and opened them up.

Meanwhile, Annabeth gently held her parents' hands and walked up to Josh from behind.

They could see that the suitcases were full of supplements from various expensive brands unavailable locally and solely imported.

Bobby and Peggy were astounded again.

Peggy couldn't resist nagging. "Next time, please don't buy so many supplements for us. We haven't even finished the ones you bought last time."

"The expiry dates are still a considerable time away, anyway. You have ample time to consume them slowly," Josh voiced.

"There's no need to worry about us. Save some for yourselves. We can buy our own supplements," Peggy insisted. "Would you do so? Would you spend money on such things?" Annabeth asked, shaking her head helplessly. Her mother had no retort.

"Josh knows that you won't spend on these things if we don't. That's why we brought these for you," she said knowingly. Her parents seemed embarrassed, exchanging glances and smiling as they turned to gaze at their considerate son-in-law.

"Thank you, Josh, and thank your

parents for us, too. You're very

thful, but please don't give us

anything else next time. We have more than we need."

He chuckled. "Don't worry about it. I'll keep these in your room for now."

Bobby nodded, prompting Josh to close the suitcases, bringing them to their room.

Meanwhile, Annabeth affectionately held their hands before settling down on the couch.

Peggy then whispered into her ear, "Why didn't you try to stop them? It's such a waste of money."

"Don't you think I've tried? It's pointless," she shrugged helplessly. "Josh and his parents only want the best for the two of you."

They were overjoyed to hear that,

despite not wanting the Battons to

spend money on them. It certainly reflected how Annabeth was regarded by the family. They

obviously adored her and treated her well.

Annabeth's parents were glad to know they weren't misled at all.

"Annabeth they are a wonderful family. You must appreciate them and never do anything you'll regret. Do you understand?" her mother said, feeling fond of everyone in the Batton family.

She couldn't think of anyone better than them as in-laws.

Annabeth nodded in agreement, beaming with joy when the Battons were brought up. "Yeah, I'll be good to them."

"These must cost several hundred thousand, right?" Bobby asked.

"Probably up to a million," she answered calmly.
