Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2257

Peggy Howards instantly shook her head at that. "No, you're already doing so much to look after Annabeth. You don't need to worry about us. Since we've seen our daughter and granddaughter, it's better to head back since there's not much to do here."

Josh Batton was also reluctant to let them leave. "Dad and Mom, please don't leave so soon. You can spend more time here with Annabeth."

"Yes, spend more time with me, won't you?" Annabeth Cates asked.

"You have Josh's parents here with you, and they're more than enough. You're going through postpartum recovery," Peggy told her. "There are so many people here, and there's nothing we can do to help out. If we stay, you would have to look after us, too, so forget it."

Seeing that her parents had already made up their minds, Annabeth didn't say anything further because she knew exactly what they were thinking.

Even Sharon could see how determined they were, so she didn't argue. Instead, she turned to look at Wilson Batton. "Honey, go and buy some gifts for them to bring home with them."

He nodded without hesitation.

Annabeth's parents immediately felt embarrassed when they heard this.

"No, it's fine," Peggy hastily interjected. "Thank you for being so thoughtful. We still haven't finished everything you gave us the last time. Please, don't buy us anything else."

The Batton family had always been kind to them and generous with their expensive gifts. Each gift was at least six-figure in cost, with some even coming at seven-figure price tags. Peggy and Bobby felt genuinely embarrassed.

"Don't worry about it," Wilson told them. "Okay, I'll be heading out now, but do continue chatting."

With that, he directly headed out, leaving her parents to look at him helplessly.

Sharon held Peggy's hand. "Please don't worry about it. We are family. It's only right that we prepare some gifts.

"You've given us such a wonderful daughter-in-law. You deserve everything we give you," she added.

"Yeah, Dad and Mom. You don't need to feel any pressure. Just accept what my parents offer," Josh said earnestly.

Peggy and Bobby felt incredibly touched by their generosity.

Annabeth felt the same way as her gaze softened, watching her mother becoming more chatty because of how touched she felt.

Peggy regarded Sharon fondly.

"Sharon, m glad that my daughter could become part of your family. Bobby and I are both thankful for how you treat our daughter as your own.

"We've

even more considerate than Lam, and I'm her mother."

Peggy voiced out these things from the bottom of her heart.

She could see everything the family had done for her daughter.

Often, Sharon was indeed a better mother than her, despite the latter being the biological mother.

There were many things that Sharon had considered way before she'd even thought of them.

Numerous people, including nurses at the hospital, thought Peggy was the mother-in-law, while Sharon was her birth mother.

She felt rather ashamed by the thought.

Meanwhile, Sharon smiled and

remained gentle. "Peggy, you're being too nice. I'm glad that I have your approval, and don't worry, I'll always be good to Annabeth.

"She's such a wonderful girl. She deserves all our kindness," she added truthfully, speaking from the bottom of her heart.

While both parents were chatting, Annabeth sneakily reached for her phone and logged into Weibo.
