Annabeth Cates wanted to allow Josh Batton to return to his dwellings of purity.โJoshโฆ I told you, I donโt need you to be responsible for meโฆ Besides, I already have a boyfriend. So if you want to be responsible for me, wouldnโt that mean Iโd have to abandon my boyfriend for you?โ Annabeth asked.โIโm not the kind of person who would rush into a new relationship and break off the old one. Moreover, I donโt like youโฆ Thatโs why you should stop messing aroundโฆ Iโm begging you, alright?โ Annabeth added.Annabeth knew Joshโs temperament very well.He would do whatever he said.Since he said those things, that meant he had made up his mind to be responsible for her.Annabeth had no choice but to make up such a lie to avoid giving him such great pressure.This was the only way to relieve Josh of his burdenโฆJosh didnโt have feelings for Annabeth at all. So since he didnโt like her, whatโs the point of forcing him to be with her?Josh was shocked by what Annabeth said.Heโd always

โButโฆ I really canโt pretend nothing has happened, even if you want me to,โ Josh Batton said truthfully.โWhatโs so hard about it? Joshโฆ You donโt have to be this way. Alrightโฆ Letโs clean up. Weโve got to get to work,โ Annabeth Cates said seriously.After that, Annabeth carefully patted Josh on the shoulder nonchalantly. โAlrightโฆ Stop whining. Iโm a woman, and Iโm not even whining. So why are you, a grown man, whining?โBesides, I donโt think Iโve lost anything from sleeping with a top-notch celebrityโฆ So many people would line up to sleep with youโฆโ Annabeth continued to speak consolingly.โDo you really think that way?โ Josh seemed shocked.Josh didnโt think a traditional girl like Annabeth would have thoughts like this.Annabeth shrugged nonchalantly. โYeahโฆ Thatโs what I think. Letโs both stop thinking about it. Stay calm. Just pretend nothing happened. Itโll be fineโฆโJosh shook his head helplessly. โItโs already happened. How can I pretend as if nothing has happened?โโ

When Josh Batton saw how nonchalant Annabeth Cates seemed to be, he felt much more relaxed, tooโฆโAnnabethโฆ For the stuff I mentioned about giving you, Iโve already asked someone to transfer those things to your nameโฆโ Josh said softly.Annabeth immediately panicked when she heard this. โI told you. I donโt want anythingโฆโHowever, Josh smiled gently. โNo. I insistโฆโโIโll transfer the stuff back to you laterโฆโ Annabeth said.โThe transfer fee is costlyโฆโ Josh replied.โNo matter how expensive it is, Iโll do it.โ Annabethโs expression turned increasingly serious.Although huge houses and luxury sports cars were huge temptations to a girl like her from a mediocre household, she didnโt want to accept any of those things from Josh.Annabeth knew that Josh wanted to compensate her, but she didnโt need it at all.If she really accepted those things after sleeping with someone, what would she become?A high-class prostitute?โStop messing aroundโฆ Be goodโฆโ Josh said softly.

Josh Batton smiled gently as he followed bodyguards into the mall with Annabeth Cates next to him. While he did so, he raised his hand and kept waving at his fansโฆWherever he looked, people were screaming crazilyโฆTheir voices were shrill.There were even female fans who felt suffocated because they couldnโt handle how good Josh lookedโฆJosh wore a champagne-colored silk shirt and a pair of light purple pants. He also had a casual, ash-green windbreaker on the outside and a pair of white sneakers.His hair was split in a neat three-to-seven ratio, and his bangs were slightly curled with hair wax.Josh had a clean, sharp, and refreshing appearance.Although it was clearly a very difficult style to pull off, Josh was able to do it perfectly and charmingly.โD*mnโฆ Heโs so handsomeโฆโโWhat kind of god is this? I canโt take it anymore, sisters. I need an ambulanceโฆโโJosh, focus on your work. Youโre not allowed to get into a relationship. Wait for me to marry you!โEveryone said

Meanwhile, Annabeth Cates stood in the crowd and looked up at him with the rest.Although many people were around, there wasnโt any disruptive noise when Josh Batton really started to sing.In the world, his voice was the only one that resounded throughout the space.โI love you like how the moth fearlessly dives into flames.โLike how fallen leaves piled up canโt be blown away by the wind.โI love you like how rivers never stop flowing.โLike how weeds in the wild can never be completely burned away.โThe initially touching lyrics became even more perfect with Joshโs magnetic and powerful voiceโฆHe deeply touched countless fansโฆCountless cameras and phones were pointed at his face.Regardless of the angle the photos were taken, Josh would always look good.Even the worst angles would still portray him as unfailingly handsome.Meanwhile, Annabeth was also silently humming along with Josh.While singing, Annabeth kept looking at his face.She also liked this song a lot.

Outside the car, fans were everywhere.To avoid hitting the fans, the car moved very slowlyโฆAlthough they couldโve merged with traffic within a minute, it took them up to twenty minutes to do soโฆAfter merging with traffic, the fans gradually became blurry in their line of sight.Meanwhile, the sound of people shouting and cheering also faded away.Josh Batton became completely relaxed.

When Annabeth Cates saw that the call was from her middle school classmate, Julie Huckleberry, she immediately picked it upโฆJulie was Annabethโs third-year middle school classmate who sat next to her. Julie was a very kind girl.Throughout Annabethโs entire third year in middle school, they were practically inseparable.โHey, Annabethโฆ Are you free the following Monday at eight oโclock in the evening? Weโre having a class gathering at a hotpot restaurant in Atlantis Goldfield PlazaโฆโWould you like to come? About half of our classmates will be there. โDonโt you think itโs such a coincidence that most of our classmates are building their careers in Atlantis?โ Julie said. She sounded somewhat excited.After hearing this, Annabeth immediately recalled her schedule before and after eight oโclock in the evening on the following Monday.Annabeth would be done with work at six oโclock in the evening the following MondayโฆHence, she had time to attend the gathering.โSureโฆโ Annabeth

There were approximately fifteen people at each table. They had already finished ordering food. In fact, some had already begun to eat.Annabeth Cates felt a little uncomfortable looking at that scene before her.She arrived ten minutes ahead of the appointed time, and that meant she wasnโt late.Logically speaking, they shouldโve waited for her briefly even if everyone else had arrived.However, they didnโtโฆNever mind that they ordered the dishes, but they had even begun to eat.Annabeth could sense deeply how this group of people were ignoring her.At one glance, she felt that many of them looked unfamiliar.She needed to look at them harder to identify who each of them was.After graduating from middle school for so many years, everyoneโs face had changed due to age.Some had undergone cosmetic surgery, while others grew plump. Some lost weight and became thinner.The only person who hadnโt changed was Julie Huckleberry, who sat close to the door.When Julie saw that

Xyla quickly reached for Hannahโs hand. โIs that right? Hannah, youโre amazingโฆ! Youโre practically on par with Leon!โHannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. โNot at all.โโOh, cut it out. If you hadnโt helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?โ Leon chuckled.โI guess Iโve lived up to my promise.โ Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of.

Over time, Leonโs feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannahโs mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasnโt a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfoundedโฆThis meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasnโt he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymondโs head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. โWho are you? Donโt you know what youโre doing is illegal?โLeon sneered. โYou donโt deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.โLeonโs domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.โMr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?โ One of the men dressed in black asked.โMr. Batton? Are you Stanley Battonโs son?!โ Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.โHow dare you address our president by name?!โ Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannahโs body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror.

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnโt about to be silent anytime soon.
