โYeah, your fans really love you,โ Annabeth Cates told him proudly.โYes, I know,โ Josh Batton replied, his eyes softening at the mention of his fans.โI think we should organize a free meet-and-greet with them so that everyone can chat with you. They are so supportive of, so I think you should give back something in return,โ she suggested.โOkay," he answered after some consideration. "Letโs wait until the end of the year. Weโll randomly select a few fans from social media platforms to participate.โShe nodded in agreement. โThey would be so happy when they find out.โโYeah, I guess so,โ he chuckled, proceeding to pick up the speed.His wife instantly warned him when she noticed. โSlow down!

Iโm extremely jealous.โAfter briefly going through the comments, Annabeth Cates swiped to the next video.The next video was also related to her and Josh Batton.In the video, an entertainment blogger published something related to Annabeth being promoted as Joshโs manager.People were still spamming in the comment section.However, Annabeth didnโt click into it. Instead, she directly swiped past it.She entertained herself with videos of pretty ladies dancing.Josh saw Annabeth enjoying herself. โDo you like watching videos of ladies dancing on TikTok that much?โ Josh asked curiously.Annabeth nodded. โYeah. Donโt you think they look pretty? They dance so wellโฆโJosh chuckled a little. โNo, I donโt. I think nobody is as good-looking as my wife.โAnnabeth blushed when she heard this. โBeauty lies in the eyes of its beholder. Every girl looks prettier than me on TikTokโฆโโThatโs just an issue with your aesthetic preferenceโฆโ

Seeing the happiness in his daughter filled Josh Battonโs heart with contentment.For him, the happiest feeling was not about receiving numerous awards on stage or how much money he made.Instead, it was coming home to his wife and daughter. The warmth in their home and his loved ones made him feel happy.He was so lucky to meet Annabeth Cates, and he swore in his heart that he would be good to her and their child for the rest of his life.Beep, beep, beepโHis phone rang right then, so he immediately answered when he saw Georgie Clementine's name flashing on his screen.โHey, Georgie. Whatโs up?"โJosh, the film 'Wind and Shadow', had been nominated as the best picture in the Passion Film Festival. As the male lead, youโve also received a nomination as Best Actor, Most Popular Actor, and the Passion Film Festivalโs Favorite Pick.โTheyโre inviting you to both the opening ceremony and the award ceremony taking place on the first of the next month.โShe sounded full of exciteme

Georgie Clementine felt an ache in her stomach as soon as she finished her phone call with Josh Batton.An intense suffocating sensation made her feel lightheaded.Feeling uncomfortable, she sat on the bed and glanced at Henry Armstrong, who was playing a game on his laptop. โHey, stop playing. Something doesnโt feel right with my stomach.โHer stomach had repeated contractions as if she was in labor, but she had another month to go before her expected delivery date.It wasn't supposed to be happening now. She didnโt know why it had started this soon.Henry instantly panicked when he saw Georgie like this.He turned off his laptop and hastily picked up his car keys before carrying her out of the house.He was speeding the entire journey, but traffic police didnโt stop him because of his carโs unique registration number.They managed to arrive at Municipal Hospital without issues.By then, Georgie felt her stomach increasingly aching, turning her vision dark as she felt like sh

When Henry Armstrong entered the VIP ward, he felt as if heโd just returned from hell as the memories of what happened a while ago made him sweat all over.Although having a newborn was worth celebrating, he couldnโt bring himself to feel happy just yet.He didnโt even have a proper look at his baby because his eyes never left Georgie Clementine at all.After arriving at the ward, most nurses left to take care of the baby, leaving only a few others behind to help move Georgie onto a bed with his assistance.He remained silent as he sat next to her rigidly, holding one of her cold hands and gazing at her pale face.His heart ached upon recalling everything she had suffered through earlier.He vowed never to get Georgie pregnant again so that they would only have to live through this experience once.Soon, the doctor attached her other hand to an anti-inflammatory drip and then launched into a brief explanation about both the mother's and child's conditions and anything worthy of

Henry Armstrong felt his heart melting when he thought about his baby smiling.โMr. Armstrong, would you like to take a look at your baby? He is adorable,โ the nurse added.โItโs fine. Iโd better keep an eye on my wife. I donโt want her to be alone when she wakes up,โ he replied, surprising her with his attitude.It was her first time meeting a father like Henry despite witnessing many deliveries from other families. His newborn son was a premature baby and promptly brought into an incubator right after, but his wife merely lost consciousness from exhaustion with a stable condition.Even so, it was odd how he showed little care toward his son while unable to tear his eyes away from his wife.However, the nurse refrained from further comments out of respect for his status and silently left the ward.Approximately an hour later, Georgie Clementine woke up to find Henry by her side.He nervously stood up when he saw that she was awake. โHow do you feel? Are you in pain? Hmm? Do y

Henry Armstrong gazed at Georgie Clementine incredulously. โSo what if youโre an adult? I had to be here to look after you, too, even if it was a natural delivery. I witnessed everything you went through inside that delivery room. How could I not worry about you?โOur baby will be fine since he has nurses to look after him. I was planning to see him after youโve woken up. People always hope to see their loved ones by their side when they wake up in their weakest moments. Wouldnโt you feel uneasy if I wasnโt around then?โ he explained.Georgie felt warm in her heart once again after hearing what he said, recalling how he'd acted in the delivery room and how he was behaving now.She knew that she had married the right person as this man genuinely loved and appreciated her.Her life felt complete by meeting a man like Henry.โAll right, that makes sense, too," she admitted with a sigh. "Letโs not argue about such things. Take me to see our baby now, please. I must see him.โHe knew

At Henry Armstrong's insistence, Georgie Clementine would do as he said.Soon, he brought her to the newborn's ward, carrying her over to see their baby after putting on their isolation gowns.Their hearts melted when they saw their adorable son in the incubator but then ached at the sight of various tubes connected to his body.It was unfortunate that he was born prematurely. If he had been born at full term, he wouldnโt have needed to suffer through this.The baby was still so delicate and tiny, but he already had to be connected to all those tubes. It was truly heartbreaking.โDo you think being connected to those tubes would hurt him?โ she asked softly, her eyes filling with tears.Henry frowned deeply. โThe doctor said it wouldnโt hurt.โโI donโt believe it. Iโm sure he must be in pain.โThey liked the baby, but they also felt heartbroken for him.โI heard he even smiled when he was inside so that probably means he isnโt in pain,โ he added to reassure her.She was shocke

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!

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?
