Ch. 1451..1460

 

The first and last letter of Catherine Batton's first name made up CE...

Xyla suddenly felt as if she just realized something significant.

CE... Catherine...

If this wasn't Catherine's name, what else could it be?

Was it a secret crush?

Did Noah have a secret crush on Catherine?

"What are you thinking about?" Stanley Batton asked.

Xyla immediately took in a deep breath subconsciously. "Honey, I think I have discovered something..." Xyla looked at Stanley and said. "What?" Stanley asked.

"Noah Miller might have feelings for Catherine..." Xyla was a little excited when she talked about this.

In every aspect, Noah was a very suitable candidate to be Catherine's boyfriend.

Noah and Catherine were very compatible with each other.

Apart from such conditions, the most important thing was that Noah's character and personality were flawless.

Meanwhile, Noah's family members were also very open-minded...

If Catherine could be with Noah in the future, her life would be perfect.

Noah's family would greatly adore Catherine...

"Really?" Stanley had a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Yeah... Team CE... Whose name do you think CE is the abbreviation of?" Xyla asked.

"Catherine?" Stanley raised his brows.

"Yeah... Noah insisted on using this name. He told the other teammates that he had a reason for absolutely having to use this name... If it wasn't because he had a crush on Catherine, what else could it be?" Xyla added...

Stanley nodded earnestly. "That makes sense..."

"Honey, I suddenly thought of something..." Xyla said seriously. However, she stopped herself from speaking despite wanting to.

"What is it?" Stanley Batton looked at Xyla Quest curiously yet earnestly.

"Noah Miller didn't seem to like playing League of Legends in the past. In fact, he even once told me that playing computer games isn't convenient...

"I feel that he must have suddenly started playing this because Catherine likes it.

"Also, I remember Catherine telling me that Noah would ask her to play with him whenever he was free.

"Moreover, he would say he wanted to play as Support each time... Although he dislikes playing Support, he took the initiative to play as Catherine's Support.

"Would you believe it if I told you there wasn't anything fishy with this?" Xyla continued to analyze.

After listening to all this, Stanley narrowed his eyes slightly and thought deeply for a while. "Indeed, that's the case..." Stanley said.

"Hence, I feel that Noah must like Catherine a lot. Moreover, Catherine seems to be a little slow in realizing this...

"But it's fine. As long as Noah genuinely loves her, he'll make it clear sooner or later... So we shouldn't worry about these things..." Xyla added.

Stanley slowly nodded. "Alright, we'll do as you say."

"We'll act like we don't know anything in front of Catherine. After all, this is between the two of them. So we shouldn't get too involved," Xyla said concernedly.

"Understood. As you wish..." Stanley said.

"Okay..."

"Shall we head upstairs to rest?" Stanley asked.

"Alright," Xyla answered.

As soon as Xyla finished speaking, Stanley carefully carried her up the stairs.

Every move he made and every step he took was done meticulously.

Once they returned to the room, Stanley leaned against the switch to turn on the light. After that, he gently placed Xyla on a large, white, soft, silk bed.

"Sit here for a while. I'll draw the bath... Oh, right. Let my father know about what happened too so that he can be happy about it," Stanley said with a smile. "Okay..." Xyla said.

Immediately after that, Stanley turned around and entered the bathroom. Meanwhile, Xyla lay down leisurely on the bed with her phone in hand. She was prepared to listen to some music. After opening the music software, Xyla randomly selected a song. The song's name was 'My Love for You Will Never End'.

While listening to the song, Josh Batton sent Xyla a WeChat message. "Congratulations, Xyla..."

Xyla smiled a little. "Thank you. Also, thank you for the bird's nest..." She quickly typed a reply.

"Don't mention it..." Josh replied.

Xyla immediately responded with a smiley emoji.

Meanwhile, Josh stopped texting Xyla.

In the room, music continued to play-

"My love for you is like the wind that travels across thousands or tens of thousands of miles. It'll never end.

"Like the sun that rises and falls, day and night.

"I love you like the clouds that travel across thousands or tens of thousands of miles. It'll never stop.

"Like snow on the ground with no end in sight."

Xyla was addicted to the wonderful tune and beautiful lyrics...

She immediately tapped on a button to share the song to her social media page. Moreover, she added a short caption, "I like this a lot..."

Meanwhile, in the presidential suite of a seven-star hotel in the city center, Roman Holiday, Josh was sitting on a large, open-air balcony, elegantly sipping on red wine as he browsed through Xyla's social media page.

Josh had recently taken a bath. His short, thick black hair was parted naturally in a three-to-seven ratio after being dried.

Without any hair wax, his hair was loose and scattered, making him appear unusually well-groomed.

Josh was wearing a white bathrobe with a deep V-neck collar. His muscular chest and sexy collar bones were fully visible.

Chapter 1457

The balcony's lights were not switched on. The combination of warm streetlights and the cold moonglow fell upon his body, making him appear unusually clean yet gentle. When Josh Batton didn't speak, he was like the most beautiful painting in the world...

Josh tapped on the song that Xyla Quest shared. He then put on a pair of Bluetooth earphones from the round-shaped coffee table and began listening intently to the song. Knock, knock, knock-

Right then, Josh heard someone knocking on the door.

The knocking went on for a while before Josh heard it.

He slowly put down his earphones and phone before getting up. He walked over to the peephole and took a glance.

The face of a woman Josh didn't recognize came into view.

The woman's face was chubby, and she didn't have any makeup on. Through the peephole, Josh could even clearly see the blackheads on the tip of her nose.

Josh even saw three thin girls with a lot of makeup on behind her...

These people were fans who wanted to pry on him.

Josh had encountered incidents like this many times, and he didn't find it surprising at all.

Disregarding that he was a top-notch celebrity, anyone with the slightest bit of popularity would be bugged by prying fans.

The most ridiculous thing he knew about was something that happened to a male idol in his company.

When the guy returned home from work, he found a prying fan sleeping on his bed. Moreover, the fan even used his personal hygiene products and wore his underwear...

After the incident, it was found through investigation that the prying fan had snuck into the neighborhood when the security staff exchanged shifts.

After that, the fan entered the celebrity's apartment building by tailing another resident who lived in the same building.

The fan then picked the celebrity's house locks to break in.

Right then, the three girls were whispering among themselves—

"Do you guys think Josh will be inside?"

"Once Josh opens the door, we'll snap a picture of him and run away immediately..."

"Get your cameras ready..."

"What do you think Josh is wearing now? Could he be naked?"

"I really want to see Josh's hot body..."

When Josh heard what they were saying, he couldn't help but frown slightly...

Right then, he could only think of the word 'wretched' in his mind.

Josh didn't plan on opening the door to yell at them. Instead, he calmly took his phone out and called the receptionist in the building.

He wanted the receptionist to bring a few security guards up here to get rid of these people...

However, before Josh could make the call, he heard Annabeth Cates' voice-

"What are you people doing? Hurry up and leave... Otherwise, I'm calling the security!" Annabeth's voice sounded unusually strict and cold. Her facial expression matched the tone of her voice.

As soon as Annabeth said that, those prying fans immediately ran away and disappeared completely...

When Josh saw this, he smiled a little before opening the door for Annabeth.

"Josh... Have you been watching from inside?" Annabeth asked.

If he hadn't watched inside, he wouldn't have opened the door so quickly...

Josh smiled. "Yeah... I was planning on calling the security..."

Annabeth chuckled. "You could just call me... I could get rid of them for you."

"Hmm, were you looking for me?" Josh Batton leaned lazily against the door and looked at Annabeth Cates.

Josh's good looks took Annabeth's breath away every single time.

Annabeth nodded. "Yeah, I came to tell you tomorrow's schedule..."

Josh turned around and walked inside. "Come in and talk..."

Annabeth immediately followed him inside before slowly closing the door.

Josh looked tall and fit from behind. Even his hair had a quality of gentleness and nobility...

Annabeth felt her heart beating strongly.

However, she quickly suppressed her emotions.

Josh took the lead, sitting down on the sofa in the living room. Right after that, Annabeth carefully sat next to him and went straight to the point. "Tomorrow morning, you'll go to Goldfield Plaza at ten o'clock to promote Chanel's perfume exhibition....

"The exhibition lasts for an hour. After that's done, we'll have to go to LB Magazine for a cover shoot as well as for a few content pages...

"Once the shooting is done, we'll have to take a flight to City M in Country F to watch a show..." Annabeth said carefully.

"As for meals, we'll have to find time in between working hours..." She added.

Josh nodded slightly.

"On top of that, I've checked the exhibition's sound system settings for tomorrow. There isn't anything wrong. You can sing to your heart's content tomorrow..." Annabeth said.

"Okay... Inform the organizers that the song I want to sing for tomorrow will be changed to 'My Love for You Will Never End'," Josh said calmly.

"Huh... Aren't you going to sing your new song?" Annabeth asked.

"Hmm, I don't want to..." Josh said.

"Why do you suddenly want to sing this song?" Annabeth seemed confused.

"I just feel like it..." Josh said.

With that, Josh lowered his head and smiled a little....

Perhaps, it was because Xyla Quest had said that she liked it...

That was why Josh wanted to sing the song.

As for whether Xyla could hear it or not, it didn't matter...

"Alright then," Annabeth said, nodding slightly.

"Alright, get back to work..." Josh said..

Annabeth nodded a little before standing up and leaving.

Once Annabeth had left, Josh fired up Google to search for things that a pregnant woman with hypoglycemia should take note of.

After he was done, he carefully committed everything he read to memory.

He then googled for food that a pregnant woman should avoid, and he also committed all of them to memory.

Immediately after that, Josh sent Xyla a picture of food a pregnant woman needed to avoid on WeChat.

On the other end of the phone, Xyla was taking a bath with Stanley.

She had left her phone on the nightstand in the room.

Xyla was completely unaware that she had received this WeChat message on her phone.

Seeing that Xyla didn't reply after a long while, Josh guessed that she was probably asleep. Hence, he slowly stood up and walked onto the balcony. However, Josh didn't sit down.

Instead, he stood behind the balcony's safety railing and looked down...Chapter 1459

Chapter 1459

From this position, Josh Batton could see the hotel's main entrance.

Right then, many of his fans had gathered outside the hotel's main entrance.

Although there were many such female fans, none of them disrupted the traffic.

At this moment, they silently stood across the road from the hotel's main entrance.

The fans in the first row held a long, red banner with a sentence that read 'Josh, don't worry. We'll always be with you'.

The people along the entire street were all his fans.

Despite it being an autumn night with cold breezes, many young girls were only wearing dresses. Josh felt cold just by watching them in their dresses.

Worried that his fans might get sick, Josh immediately gave Annabeth Cates a call. "Annabeth, buy those fans directly across the hotel a cup of warm milk tea each. After that, get them all to go home... Tell them that I won't be going out tonight..." Josh said.

After giving the order, Josh once again slowly shifted his gaze to those fans.

Sometimes when Josh looked at them, he somehow felt that life wasn't easy for them.

Many of them had followed him through thick and thin. Regardless of the cold breezes or heat waves, they had always been by his side...

This was all so that they could take a picture of him or even get a single look from him...

Approximately an hour later, Josh saw several vans stopping directly across the hotel by the road...

Many delivery staff members were handing out milk teas to his fans...

When the young girls received the milk tea their idol had given them, each of them felt so excited that they could die. They treated the milk tea in their hands as if it was more precious than their own lives... In fact, many of the young girls even cried with milk tea in their hands-

"Sob-sob... Josh is the best big brother in the world. Our love has been reciprocated."

"The love between us and our idol goes both ways. Even if I have to freeze to death or die of dehydration, I won't drink this milk tea. I'll carry it home and seal it away!"

"Sob-sob... Our idol is so considerate. He has given us milk tea. Sob-sob... As long as he doesn't take drugs, cheat, or have one-night-stands, I'll pursue him for the rest of my life."

Many girls were crying louder and louder. In the end, they couldn't hold their tears back at all...

The delivery staff members shook their heads helplessly when they saw this.

After watching the delivery staff members handing out all the stuff in front of the hotel's main entrance, Annabeth walked across the busy road and approached the fans. "I'm Josh Batton's personal assistant, Annabeth Cates... Josh wants me to tell you guys that he won't be coming down tonight. The weather is cold. He hopes that you will all make your way home quickly, so you don't catch a cold..." "Sob-sob... Josh, he's really worth it!"

"Josh is worried about us! I have no regrets in this life anymore, sisters!"

"Ms. Cates, tell Josh that he's my light... I feel very blessed to be his fan..."

Josh's fans suddenly became even more excited.

"We won't leave... We'll stay here until he comes out tomorrow morning..."

"That's right. We won't leave. We want to wait for Josh. I have spent half of the year's savings to come to see Josh!"

Josh's fans were all determined. None of them was willing to leave...

When Annabeth saw this happening, she felt a severe headache coming. "Listen... You'll get sick from the cold if you do this..." Annabeth said. "If I can see Josh even just once, what's the big deal with falling sick?"

"Exactly... We just want to wait here and see Josh once..."

On this dark, misty night, cold breezes howled unceasingly.

However, the girls remained determined...

Annabeth knew that she couldn't convince them on her own. Hence, she turned around and returned to the hotel. After that, she called Josh on the phone. "Josh... They won't listen to me. They insist on waiting down here..."

Chapter 1460

Chapter 1460

"Someone said that she spent half her year's savings to see you and that she would wait for you..." Annabeth Cates added.

On the balcony, Josh Batton continued to sip on his red wine. He could see everything clearly...

After hearing what Annabeth said, he started frowning a little. "Understood..."

Right then, it suddenly started drizzling outside.

Many of Josh's fans didn't bring umbrellas.

However, they still insisted on waiting where they were...

When Josh saw this, he immediately felt an ache in his heart. He immediately stood up, changed into a set of black sports outfits, and walked out the door with a black umbrella.

They were waiting here solely hoping to see him once.

As long as Josh satisfied their wish, they would leave.

It was such a cold day. On top of that, it was also raining. Josh couldn't bear watching his fans standing in front of the entrance until the following day.

After heading out, Josh held his umbrella up and summoned a group of bodyguards. Then, he got into his black Mercedes-Benz.

Josh rolled the window down halfway. He then asked his bodyguard to drive the car down the street...

After that, he went back into the hotel...

Each of his fans who had been waiting outside was able to see his face.

Although Josh didn't say anything throughout, his fans knew of his intention.

The young girls cried even more fiercely.

"Sob-sob... I'm honestly very jealous of the girl Josh might fall for in the future."

"Me too. I'm really curious what kind of woman a perfect man like Josh would fall for..."

"Josh knows that we won't leave unless we see him. That's why he purposely came down. Sob-sob... Josh is so considerate."

"I will love Josh for the rest of my life! He's the perfect man. He makes me feel that life is worth living!"

While crying, Josh's fans left satisfactorily...

The hotel's main entrance slowly cleared up.

Josh didn't hear anything they said.

After the car returned within the hotel's compound, Josh held his umbrella up and walked back to the building he currently stayed in...

The black umbrella covered Josh's face. Only half of his upper body and his long legs were exposed.

Josh accidentally stepped on a puddle. The clear water splashed in all directions. Under the reflection of light, the water glimmered picturesquely. After returning to his room, Josh took another bath. Once he was done, he put on a bathrobe and sat on the balcony to watch the rainfall.

Now that his fans had left, he felt much calmer.

Josh logged into Weibo. He wanted to check out the highlights for today.

However, he realized that he made it onto the list of hot topics...

Hot topic number one, '#Josh delivers warmth amidst rain#'.

After opening the article, Josh discovered that there were videos, pictures, and texts of him earlier when he showed himself to his fans in the car. These were all posted by his fans... Although it wasn't the peak hour for traffic on Weibo, it was still very lively in the comment section...

Fans and passersby were all expressing their opinions.

"Sob-sob. What kind of heavenly idol is he? What kind of woman could become the love of his life?"

"Sob-sob... I bet that the woman he would fall for must be a real-life fairy, right?"

"As a passerby, I would like to say that this guy is very handsome. I want to sleep with him..."

"I've become Josh's fan now. He's really considerate."
