The waitress panicked upon seeing that, grabbing a napkin as she knelt on the ground, wiping Josh Batton’s pants frantically while she apologized. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”Josh just smiled dismissively. “It’s fine.”He had always been kind and polite to people around him, not caring much about what happened. All he needed was a new pair of pants.Nearby, Henry Armstrong frowned in annoyance, glaring at the clumsy waitress. “What’s going on? Are you new to this job?”She gasped, attempting to explain while continuing her wiping motion. “I was nervous because he’s my idol.”Henry's facial expression relaxed into an amused grin. “I see. All right, I understand now.”Josh immediately beamed when he heard that. “Would you like an autograph?”“Yes, please.” Her eyes lit up as she spoke, quickly retrieving a small notepad and a pen from her pocket before handing them over to him.He opened the notepad and promptly signed on an empty page before returning them to her.She pocketed the

Stanley Batton was a man of few words most of the time, preferring to hold Xyla Quest in his arms while he drank and listened to her.He never had eyes for anyone else.The others still found it sweet despite being so used to seeing the couple being intimate with each other.While everyone was chatting, Josh Batton’s phone started ringing. He answered instantly when he saw Annabeth Cates calling, hurrying outside while the others continued to chat.“Xyla, I’m working on a new project. Would you be interested in it?” Henry Armstrong asked.“You’ve got to tell me what it is first,” Xyla said, chuckling.“I’ve got my hands on a good script. It’s based on a fantasy novel that’s unusually popular this year. It’s an adaptation that stays true to the original story, and I plan to make it into a film. Would you be interested to invest in it?” Henry asked.“I’m just going to put this out there. If we’re going to work on this together, you’ll have to hire more actors from our company,” sh

Josh Batton enjoyed days like this.Somebody to miss him when he was out, and somebody to wait for him to go home.Whenever he returned home, the lights would always be left on for him.“All right. Can you also get me a cup of milk tea?” Annabeth Cates asked.“Silly girl, you’re pregnant. You’re not supposed to drink milk tea sold outside. You know this," he chided gently. "I'll prepare some for you when I get home if you really want some, okay?”His tone was tender, it sounded like he was speaking to a child.Sherry instantly felt envious of his wife as she eavesdropped.Annabeth was married to the best celebrity in her heart, while also being the apple of his eye.“All right, but you don’t have to come home so early. I will be staying up to watch tv, anyway,” Annabeth said.“I’ll be back early, okay? Be a good girl, and call me if anything comes up. Don’t do any chores at home. Leave it all to me, understand?” he asked. “Okay, I’m hanging up. Bye.”He reluctantly put his ph

Everyone turned to scrutinize Josh Batton’s face, whose attention was still on Xyla Quest. “I don’t mind accepting the role, but I’d like to wait until after my wife delivers our baby. I’ll choose the right time for it. Will that be acceptable to you guys?”“Yeah, we understand. We’ll try not to do it too soon,” Xyla immediately answered.“We still need a lot more time to prepare before we start shooting this film. There’s no rush. Besides, we don’t mind waiting for you,” Henry Armstrong assured him.Josh instantly nodded. He had no qualms about it if that was the case.Georgie Clementine, who was silently watching all this while, leaned against Henry as she gazed at Josh with a sigh. “Time does fly. You were still single when we first met. Now, you’re a married man who’s worried about his filming schedule because of his wife.”Josh chuckled when he heard this. “Ain't that the truth? Life is full of wonder.”Sometimes, a person’s life could change in an instant.For example, h

Soon, Josh Batton walked out of the room while Annabeth Cates sat by the bed and ate the cake he'd bought. Meanwhile, she continued to look through some photos and videos of Josh at events on Weibo. Recently, he'd only worked one to two hours a day, sometimes not at all, because of her pregnancy.Therefore, there was very little news about him on the internet.For that reason, fans appreciated it even more each time he appeared, paying even more attention to him whenever his name came up.While scrolling, Annabeth ended up clicking into a forum dedicated to Josh. In there, fans posted all sorts of compliments and messages asking people to vote for him on various platforms.She could sense how much his fans loved him through the forum.

It even has pearls in it. He made the pearls by hand. Isn’t he amazing?”Her post received countless likes and comments, but she wasn't interested in that.She only wanted to drink the milk tea. Picking up her cup, she took a sip.It tasted even better than the ones sold commercially, much to the pleasant surprise of Annabeth.She took another sip and looked at her husband. “Honey, if you don’t feel like working in the entertainment industry anymore, I think you can open a milk tea store.

The first is Xyla Quest, and the second is Annabeth Cates.”“I’ve always known that Josh is a gentle and considerate person. I also knew that he’d be very good to his partner if he ever got married. I knew I would one day see him being intimate with someone else. However, I didn’t think that day would come so soon. I also didn’t expect I’d be this jealous.”“He’s such an amazing husband. I also want milk tea made by my idol. I’m sure it tastes good!”“Josh even knows how to make pearls. There’s nothing he can't do. I’m so jealous.”“What have I done wrong? Why must I keep seeing J

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s 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.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” 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.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality.

When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation.
