โIf youโre willing, the production team will start filming with you and broadcast the first six episodes of you first.โFor your parts, they will film one day and then broadcast the content the next day.โIf you agree, the crew will go over to your house to film starting tomorrow for the next six consecutive days. All six episodes will be complete within a week,โ Georgie Clementine explained on the ongoing phone call.Annabeth Cates nodded in approval. โSure, then thatโs what weโll do.โโOkay, great! Theyโll start filming at your place each day from seven in the morning until ten in the evening.โโAll right, sure,โ Annabeth replied and then hung up when they had finished the conversation.Josh Batton had a helpless look in his eyes. โI donโt know what to do with you.โโHoney, we donโt need to make much of an effort. We just have to live as we do. Thereโs no harm in taking part in a show like this,โ she voiced. โDonโt you need a variety show like this to maintain your popularity?

โWhere is Ms. Cates?โ the director asked when he couldn't see Annabeth Cates around.Josh Batton smiled and carefully picked up Candice Batton from the cradle. โSheโs still sleeping, but itโs fine. You can start with us first. My wife just delivered not too long ago and needs her rest.โ The director acknowledged with a nod.โWaahโฆ WaahโฆโCandice suddenly started crying right then, making her father panic.He carefully rocked her in his arms. โWhatโs the matter, Honey? Hmm? Did you poop?โHe placed her back on the cradle to check her diaper, making sure she wasn't soiled before he gently picked her up again. โOh, I know. Youโre hungry, arenโt you?โHe handed his daughter over to Sharon Lindt before walking side to prepare a bottle of milk, using his wrist to test the temperature until he was satisfied.He returned to Sharonโs side and carried the crying baby into his arms before sitting on the white wool rug to feed her.He seemed so sure of what to do.Candice stopped crying

The breakfast laid out in the dining room looked sumptuous.The dishes included birdโs nests, a seafood stew, fried dumplings, soy milk, porridge, and many types of appetizers.Annabeth Cates found herself starving when she saw those delicious dishes.Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton smiled as they watched her reaction, taking turns scooping food onto her plate and filling her bowl with birdโs nests.They did all these carefully as if they were looking after a child, invoking even more feelings of envy among the female crew members.After Josh Batton finished feeding Candice Batton upstairs, he made his way to the dining room and sat next to his wife. He then started eating.He also took good care of Annabeth.โOh, Josh, we are running low on diapers, so you should go get some more,โ Sharon said.โOkay.โโAlso, buy some snacks Annabeth likes while youโre at it,โ she added.โOkay, I will.โโDonโt buy anything thatโll upset her stomach, got it?โ his father asked.He nodded obed

Josh Batton was speechless.โThis is Annabethโs favorite food lately. All six of these dumplings are reserved for her. They are not for you,โ Sharon Lindt told him sternly.โI was going to get it for Annabeth. I wasn't planning on eating any,โ he sighed.Only after hearing this did Sharon smile in a satisfied manner. โThatโs good. I was wondering why youโd be so daft,โ she replied, smiling in satisfaction upon hearing that.He remained silent and smiled awkwardly before reaching for one fried dumpling and placing it in front of Annabeth Cates, who seemed uneasy.โThatโs not necessary," Annabeth spoke up. "Iโm fine with eating just two. Donโt you all like it, too? You should all have some.โโWe are fine. You can have it all. Youโre the most important person in this family,โ Wilson Batton stated, pushing the entire plate of fried dumplings over to her.The more they behaved like this, the more embarrassed she felt.Although it was only a plate of ordinary dumplings, she didnโt wa

โDidnโt you say that you have aches around where the doctor injected anesthetics into your body? Did it ache yesterday?โ Sharon Lindt asked.โYeah, it ached in the middle of the night, but it wasnโt too bad,โ Annabeth Cates said with a nod.Ever since she'd received the anesthetics shot, the area of the injection site would frequently twinge with pain.She had tried many ways to make it go away, but nothing worked.The doctor and Xyla Quest had told her that it was a side effect of the shot. It would be difficult to recover quickly, so she would have to let it heal in time.โDid you ask Josh to give you a massage?โ Sharon asked.She shook her head. โHe was already asleep at the time.โโSo what if heโs asleep?" Sharon responded indignantly. "Canโt you wake him up? Heโs a man. He can take it.โโI didnโt want him to be too tired because we have a show to film today,โ she explained.โThereโs nothing wrong with waking him up once or twice. Right now, you are the priority," Sharon e

โHahaha! Josh looks so weak and helpless. Itโs clear where he stands in the family.โโI like the Batton familyโs vibe the most.โโI find Josh very patient with his daughter. Heโs the best husband in the world. Annabeth seems like she doesnโt need to do anything at home.โโIs her name Candice Batton? I envy this girl the most.โโWho wouldnโt feel envious of Candice? Everyoneโs favorite idol is her father, and heโs extremely wealthy too. Candice is practically the main protagonist in a fairy tale.โNetizens were already making all sorts of remarks.Josh Batton showed Annabeth Cates all these comments on his phone as they watched the nannies feed their daughter some milk in the nursery.Annabeth subconsciously smiled when she read the netizensโ comments, agreeing with everything they said.Initially, Josh and the others wouldnโt allow her to take a peek at her phone, but she was dying of curiosity and managed to plead with her husband.She ended up reading all these and more as h

The topic occupied the number one spot on the list of hot topics.Netizens began to discuss in excitementโo โJosh is indeed an A-list celebrity. Heโs practically the most popular celebrity in the entertainment industry.โโIt feels great to be a fan of a top-notch celebrity. I feel lucky to be his fan.โโI heard Annabeth insisted on accepting the show offer. I want to thank her for that.โโAs an observer, I have to say Iโve become Josh's fan after watching this show.โโIโm a sixty-year-old woman who has become a fan of Josh and Annabeth today. Watching them is so heartwarming. Iโm going to start following them.โโItโs Josh Batton all right.โGeorgie Clementine received multiple calls from various sponsors of maternal and infant products unexpectedly, with many of them fighting for the opportunity to have Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates as their ambassadors.Georgie rejected them all without hesitancy with the excuse that Josh was not accepting jobs at the moment.Even so, the

Annabeth Cates leaned against Josh Batton as she wobbled on her feet, only managing to leave the hotel with his help.As they walked out of the lobby, many fans who had followed them were already waiting outside.The fans were very organized despite the huge crowd.Everyone lined up neatly in rows on both sides of the entrance.Young girls began screaming excitedly when they saw their idols coming outโโJosh! Annabeth! We love you! We hope youโll become more and more successful.โโJosh, take good care of Annabeth. Annabeth, did you have too much to drink?โโJosh, please start focusing on your career.

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.

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?

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?
