Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2155

Perhaps, beauty truly lies in the eyes of its beholder.

There were all sorts of beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but Josh Batton only had eyes for Annabeth Cates.

He was willing to do anything for her.

Her face turned impossibly red upon hearing her husband's compliments in front of her parents. "You're so annoying. Please stop talking."

Josh merely grinned and stared at her without saying anything further. The look in his eyes was far more affectionate than it ever seemed when he acted in movies. His tender gaze made her want to give Josh her heart.

Seeing how shy Annabeth seemed, he couldn't resist lifting his hand to caress her hair gently, feeling like she was an obedient kitten whenever he touched her like that. It was an addictive feeling.

Bobby Cates and Peggy Howards were beginning to feel a little self-conscious by their affectionate interaction. At the same time, they were also happy for them.

Unsure of what to say, Annabeth immediately stood up. "Let's get ready to go out to buy some daily necessities."

Her husband instantly nodded and stood up, retrieving a pair of sunglasses and a mask before putting them on. Then, he removed two black caps from Annabeth's backpack before putting one on her head, followed by his own. The caps had the same design that gave off a romantic vibe.

He pressed his cap down low, blocking his face entirely in addition to the sunglasses and a mask. Despite the disguise, he was still shockingly handsome as his perfect physique was still evident.

At that moment, Annabeth felt charmed by him again.

She quickly looked away, putting her own mask and sunglasses on before pressing down her cap.

After saying goodbye to her parents,

the couple held hands while walking out the door, oblivious to Bobby and Peggy's matching grins as they watched them leave.

There were satisfied with how their marriage was going.

"Our daughter has truly married into a great family. I can't help thinking that she got very lucky," Bobby told his wife.

"An astrologist once said Annabeth

has great luck in romance, remember? I didn't think so in the past because I've always felt that she's a commoner and can't possibly marry into a wealthy family. I can't believe it actually happened," Peggy said.

"Exactly. Life is mysterious sometimes," he replied.

"I hope they can stay together forever. I like Josh very much," she sighed.

To maintain a low profile, Annabeth called for a taxi instead of using the helicopter when they left the house.

Soon, their taxi was headed to the best shopping mall in the area.

Of course, shopping malls in this city were incomparable to the ones in Atlantis in terms of size or atmosphere, but they still enjoyed themselves.

Josh was usually very down-to-earth and didn't mind using ordinary products despite being used to high-end brands.

They walked from the jewelry section on the first floor to the female clothing section on the third floor.

He was stunned by how affordable

the items were and was already holding several shopping bags of various sizes after only walking around for a short while.

Meanwhile, numerous women were staring at him with looks of admiration in their eyes.
