The person calling was Sharon Lindt.When Josh Batton saw his mother calling, he quickly picked up the phone. โMom must be checking up on us, wanting to know if Iโm taking good care of you.โAfter that, he answered the call, and soon, they could hear his mother's voice.โAnnabeth said youโd be at home today. Are you taking good care of her?โHearing this, he immediately put the call on the loudspeaker as he wanted his wife to hear, too.Meanwhile, Annabeth Cates could hear everything.These days, she found Sharonโs voice even more endearing than her own motherโs. Her calls had come more frequently ever since she became pregnant.Sometimes, her mother-in-law cared more about her than her own mother.Josh naturally wrapped his arm around Annabethโs shoulders. โOf course. You can ask Annabeth if you donโt believe me.โโIs she next to you?โ Sharon asked.โYes.โโHi, Mom. Iโm here,โ Annabeth spoke up.โHoney, is he taking good care of you?

You can sit for a while longer.โโNo, the dishes you want to eat are a little more complicated and would require more preparation time. Pregnant women tend to get hungry easily,โ he said."Need my help?โ she asked.โSit here and relax. I didnโt m

When Annabeth Cates heard what Josh Batton said, she instantly felt her heart swelling with warmth. She could guess what the subject matter was about, despite not hearing the entire conversation.She hastened her steps towards him.When Josh saw her rapid pace, he immediately dashed forward and grabbed her by the arms with a nervous look on his face.Covering his phone with one hand, he gazed at Annabeth in alarm. โWhat are you doing? Havenโt I told you not to walk up the stairs so fast? What if you end up hurting yourself? How are you going to compensate for that?โโIโll find a way, I guess,โ she answered.โYou canโt.โAnnabeth was speechless.โWait for me upstairs.

Do you think Iโm a three-year-old child?โโWhat kind of herbs require five thousand to produce? This is a gimmick to fool the unintelligent folks. I thought Xyla was a decent person. Yucks!
