Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2158

Seeing nobody behind them then, Josh Batton instantly closed the door.

They could still hear people screaming outside.

Soon, the sounds faded along with their footsteps until they were completely gone, making Josh and Annabeth Cates heave sighs of relief while exchanging glances.

Josh seemed exhausted as he leaned against the door, out of breath.

After putting her and the numerous shopping bags down, he peeked through the gaps in the door. "Phew, they're finally gone."

Annabeth was still in a state of shock. "Yeah."

Frowning slightly, he removed his sunglasses. "I'm sorry that you can't even shop peacefully. People always end up recognizing me," he sighed apologetically, feeling genuinely sorry about this.

His wife had been robbed of an ordinary life by being married to him. They always lived their lives in front of the camera.

They would be photographed whenever they went out shopping or going to the movies, even merely walking on the streets. They also had to constantly adorn disguises to avoid recognition by their fans.

They couldn't live like normal couples to go shopping leisurely without a disguise, and always needed to be on their toes.

They'd have to run for their lives as soon as their fans discovered their identities.

Annabeth pulled her mask down, smiling and appearing to be unconcerned while she stood on tiptoes to caress his face. "I don't mind, Honey. I'm willing to go through anything as long as I can be with you. "Besides, I honestly don't think there's anything bad about this," she added.

She truly didn't mind these inconveniences and was willing to do anything to have Josh as her husband.

She wouldn't mind even if she had to stay at home and never go shopping again.

His heart swelled with joy upon hearing her words.

His hand lifted to ruffle her hair gently. "I'm so lucky to have you as my wife."

Josh knew very well how stressful it was to be married to a celebrity.

Apart from being verbally attacked by his fans, Annabeth couldn't live normally or do anything she wanted.

They had to be careful whatever they did.

But she had never once complained and was always gentle and agreeable.

His wife was a good person, and he loved her more and more for it.

Josh instantly felt much better after removing his mask.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Suddenly, the restaurant owner walked over and pointed at them.

They hastily put their masks back on when they heard the voice, looking at each other. They then

simultaneously picked up the bags on the floor and left.

The alley was now empty. Their hands interlocked as they strolled along, carrying the shopping bags.

It seemed peaceful and wonderful

once more without fans chasing after them. They gradually slowed down their pace to enjoy the peaceful scenery in the alley taking in the plants and trees around them.

It was relaxing enough to pay attention to the intricate stores along the way.

Once they were out of the alley, they hailed
