“We realized there were already a lot of things for you while we were packing. That’s why we didn’t want to bring any clothes. We were planning to buy what we need here once we arrived. Don’t worry, we’ll be staying here,” Josh Batton explained immediately, knowing very well what was on their mind.Naturally, Annabeth Cates' parents were hoping their daughter would stay for a prolonged visit as they hadn’t seen her for a long time.“My schedule is all sorted out, too. We’ll be here with the two of you for some time,” he added.Bobby Cates and Peggy Howards instantly relaxed upon hearing that.“We were thinking of taking you both out on a trip somewhere. Is there anywhere you’d like to go in particular?” Annabeth asked.“We can go somewhere nearby. Traveling is a waste of money,” her father said.“No, it's not, Dad. It’ll be an eye-opening experience to go somewhere further,” she said.“How is that not a waste of money? We could eat lots of good food at home with the money,” Pegg

Please stop talking.”Josh merely grinned and stared at her without saying anything further. The look in his eyes was far more affectionate than it ever seemed when he acted in movies.His tender gaze made her want to give Josh her heart.Seeing how shy Annabeth seemed, he couldn’t resist lifting his hand to caress her hair gently, feeling like she was an obedient kitten whenever he touched her like that.It was an addictive feeling.Bobby Cates and Peggy Howards were beginning to feel a little self-conscious by their affectionate interaction. At the same time, they were also happy for them.Unsure of what to say, Annabeth immediately stood up. “Let's

It often happened regardless of when or where as long as he was around. She shone just as brightly as her celebrity husband.Josh was very decisive throughout the shopping process and would buy whatever caught her eyes.It made several women envious.Two people began talking behind them—“That guy must be filthy rich! Is that his girlfriend? He’s so good to her.”“She doesn’t even need to try anything on and he’d buy everything she sees. Is he from a wealthy family?”“That girl is so lucky. I’m so envious.”“I can sense that the guy is very good-looking. He must look handsome if he takes off his mask.”“He looks like a celebrity to me, but I can’t remember who exactly.”Hearing their conversations, Annabeth and Josh hastened their way to the fourth floor to avoid b

We love you!”“We love you, Josh! Ahh! Wait, Josh!”“Josh! Josh!”“Josh Batton? It’s Josh Batton!”With screams erupting all around them, people on the first floor began to notice and started joining the crowd who ran after them.Josh had encountered something like this countless times.He remained calm and continued running out of the mall with Annabeth in his arms.She could see the crowd charging toward them like a swarm of flies. They were about to be surrounded by a shockingly large number of people.“They’re catching up! We have to hurry,” she exclaimed, clutching Josh tightly. In front of them, several people who had just walked through the entrance started to notice them as well and ran frantically toward them.Fortunately, there weren’t as many people.After looking around, he

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 ador

The living room was empty, but Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates could hear the sound of chopping of meat coming from the kitchen.They could also hear Bobby Cates and Peggy Howards laughing.It felt very warm in the house. Coupled with the vibrant noises, the two of them felt extremely at ease.They placed everything they bought by the main door before washing their hands in the bathroom.Then, they entered the kitchen together to find Annabeth's parents chatting as her father chopped meat with two knives while Peggy diced onions.It was a heart-warming scene.The pot next to them was already boiling, with steam rising from it to fill the room and making it seem a little smokey.Peggy immediately smiled when she saw them enter. “Why did you two come in? We’re fine on our own.”Smiling, Josh walked to stand in between Peggy and Bobby. “What are you cooking? Let me help.”He reached for one of the knives, intending to start helping, but Bobby leaned slightly sideways to block his

Peggy Howards continued to dice onions while gazing at Josh Batton. “I'm really fond of you, Josh. You have an even more wonderful personality than your appearance suggests. My daughter is very lucky to have found you.“Annabeth is a kind-hearted person, but she can be a little reckless with her words sometimes. I hope you won’t mind if she says anything to annoy you. Please try to bear with her.“Of course, you can always come to me if there’s anything you can’t handle with her. I can speak to her about it,” she added.Josh nodded gently. “There’s nothing about Annabeth that I have a problem with because I think she’s great in every aspect. Besides, men are supposed to be tolerant toward their wives. As long as she doesn’t cross any lines, I’d be more than fine with it.”She felt even more assured when she heard this.“You’re truly wonderful. Thank you,” she said, smiling in contentment.“Annabeth is even more wonderful. You and Dad have raised her well,” he complimented.“How'

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

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added.

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.

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. 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.
