Ch. 1471..1480

Chapter 1471

There were approximately fifteen people at each table.

They had already finished ordering food. In fact, some had already begun to eat.

Annabeth Cates felt a little uncomfortable looking at that scene before her.

She arrived ten minutes ahead of the appointed time, and that meant she wasn't late. Logically speaking, they should've waited for her briefly even if everyone else had arrived. However, they didn't...

Never mind that they ordered the dishes, but they had even begun to eat.

Annabeth could sense deeply how this group of people were ignoring her.

At one glance, she felt that many of them looked unfamiliar.

She needed to look at them harder to identify who each of them was.

After graduating from middle school for so many years, everyone's face had changed due to age.

Some had undergone cosmetic surgery, while others grew plump. Some lost weight and became thinner.

The only person who hadn't changed was Julie Huckleberry, who sat close to the door.

When Julie saw that Annabeth had arrived, she quickly stood up and walked up to Annabeth. Julie then directly pulled her closer to everyone who was eating hotpot. "Look who's here..." When everyone saw Annabeth, they stood up and politely welcomed her.

However, they all had a nonchalant attitude.

Annabeth could sense once again how these people looked down on her.

To be honest, she could understand their behavior.

Once everyone grew up, they weren't as naïve as they once were.

In the world of adults, there were hierarchies.

People would behave in a certain manner depending on the person they met.

Meanwhile, Annabeth was only an insignificant assistant to a celebrity, and she was at the bottom of the entertainment industry.

To put it in a good way; she was an assistant.

However, she was just a nanny following someone around.

Based on what Annabeth knew, all these ex-classmates of hers were doing very well in life.

Hence, it was very typical for them to look down on her.

Annabeth smiled slightly before sitting down next to Julie.

As soon as Annabeth sat down, Julie started preparing a dipping sauce for her.

"Annabeth, it's only been half a month since we last met. You look better now..." Julie said while preparing the dipping sauce. "Thank you..." Annabeth said.

"Did you bring Josh's autographs?" Julie asked.

Annabeth quickly opened the purse she brought with her...

Only when she opened her purse did she realize that she had forgotten to bring the autographs.

Suddenly, Annabeth felt extremely awkward...

Meanwhile, a few ladies at the table all shifted their gazes to Annabeth's faces. They all had hopeful looks in their eyes...

Annabeth scratched her head awkwardly. "I'm sorry... I forgot to bring them..."

When Julie heard this, she immediately let out a long sigh of disappointment.

Meanwhile, the other ladies rolled their eyes.

Sonia Judas, who sat across from her, wore Chanel's limited-edition outfit from head to toe. "Annabeth... Honestly speaking, you didn't get them, did you?" Sonia said straightforwardly. Annabeth knew that Sonia was currently a female streamer at Flying Fish Media's live streaming platform.

She was one of their best female streamers.

Her annual income was up to a hundred million dollars.

Chapter 1472

Chapter 1472

Back in school, Sonia Judas frequently bullied Annabeth Cates because she wasn't brave enough to speak up for herself.

Right then, Sonia was speaking to Annabeth in a terrible tone.

Sonia was literally looking down at her.

Annabeth felt extremely annoyed by Sonia's attitude...

However, to avoid ruining the mood, Annabeth bit her tongue and kept quiet.

Instead, she smiled a little and looked at Sonia. "No. I really forgot to bring them..."

Sonia snorted coldly. "Humph... Why do I find it hard to believe you? Josh rejected you because he didn't think much of you, right?"

Annabeth shook her head. "No. He's very nice to me."

"How many celebrities in the entertainment industry would be nice to their assistants? None of them think much of their assistants," Sonia said straightforwardly.

When Annabeth heard this, she became even more upset...

Although many other celebrities did indeed treat their assistants poorly, Josh Batton wasn't like that.

He would never look down on anyone.

Sonia could trash talk about Annabeth, but not Josh...

At that moment, Annabeth immediately showed her temper. "Sonia, don't speak nonsense. Josh is very nice to other staff members and me. He also doesn't look down on me..."

"I only said a few things. So why are you throwing a tantrum? Are you upset because I spoke your mind?"

"Are you going through a tough time right now?" Sonia continued to speak directly.

"No... I'm very happy," Annabeth said with a deep frown.

"Haha... This is the first time I've heard anyone say they're happy about being a celebrity's assistant. But, Annabeth, you're still the same as before. You like acting tough..." Sonia added. "No, I'm not..." Annabeth's frown deepened. "Sonia, don't go too far."

Sonia immediately chuckled coldly. "Me? Going too far? How am I going too far? I'm just asking about how you're doing because we used to be classmates. How is that me going too far? You really are an ungrateful person..."

"Would anyone ask how someone's doing in the way you did? Your tone was awful. What's so great about you?" Julie Huckleberry also became upset. She started speaking up for Annabeth...

"Josh is nice to Annabeth. This much I'm aware... But, Sonia Judas, aren't you just a lousy female streamer? What's so great about that? You're awfully stuck up..." Julie added.

"I am better than you two. So what?" Sonia sneered.

"What's the point of comparing yourself to us? If you have what it takes, compare yourself to popular celebrities in the entertainment industry... You're not even making a lot of money. You can barely buy a car, unlike popular celebrities..." Julie couldn't stand the sight of Sonia.

She was not going to let Sonia off the hook so easily for bullying her best friend.

Julie would say whatever it took to annoy Sonia.

When Annabeth heard the things Julie said, she carefully tugged at Julie's sleeves. "Forget it... Don't say too much."

Annabeth didn't want this class gathering to be ruined because of her.

She also didn't want Julie to get into trouble with other people because of her.

Chapter 1473

Chapter 1473

"Julie Huckleberry... Believe it or not, I'm going to kill you." Sonia Judas slammed her hand on the table.

"Bring it on... I'm not afraid of you. Believe it or not, I'm going to push that plastic face of yours into the pot." Julie Huckleberry didn't show any signs of weakness at all. She also ignored Annabeth Cates, who advised her to calm down.

"Alright... Stop fighting. You're ruining my appetite..." Lily Winters, who sat next to Sonia, had an unhappy expression on her face.

After finishing her sentence, Lily looked at Julie. "To be honest, wasn't what Sonia said accurate? Can't she talk about other people's lives if they aren't doing well?"

Other people also rolled their eyes at Annabeth and Julie.

Clearly, everyone sided with Sonia.

Many people were like this.

They tended to side with the more powerful folks...

"Who's not doing well? Annabeth and Josh are fine... Josh is very gentle with her. Besides, Annabeth gets lots of monetary rewards..." Julie argued.

She wasn't lying...

Annabeth indeed received a lot of monetary rewards by working for Josh Batton...

Apart from the company's monetary rewards, Josh would also give Annabeth an extra bonus whenever the new year began.

Annabeth could earn up to 20,000 dollars in total each month.

"If he's nice to her, why won't he sign a few autographs for her?" Sonia snorted coldly. After that, she quickly retrieved a few tickets for Josh's concert and placed them on the table...

Right after that, she looked at some of the girls in a high-profile manner. "Now, who's a fan of Josh? Here... I have some tickets with close-up seats for Josh's concert in three months... I asked my friend to get them for me... I'll give them to you guys for free..." Sonia said.

Sonia brought these tickets over today to back herself up...

Suddenly, apart from Annabeth and Julie, all the other girls ran over to Sonia and started snatching tickets...

After everyone received a ticket, they all kissed their respective tickets while thanking Sonia.

"Sonia, you're so awesome? How did you get these?" Lily asked as she held the ticket tightly in her hands. She nearly stood up and started dancing.

"Oh, I have a friend who knows the organizer of Josh's concerts... That's why I was able to get these. Let's go and watch our idol together... I can bring everyone backstage and get our idol's autograph...

"Anyway, we can't count on our ex-classmate here. We're better off relying on ourselves..." With that, Sonia rolled her eyes at Annabeth once again...

In the next room, Josh finished dining with Mark Washington, a famous director in the industry. After that, they walked out of their room while chatting and laughing...

As soon as they walked out, Mark gently patted Josh on his shoulder with a satisfied look on his face. "It's been decided then. You'll be the leading male actor in our new movie..." Josh nodded slightly...

After that, Josh chucked one hand in his pocket and led Mark forward...

"Annabeth... You said that Josh is nice to you... In that case, can you get us his concert tickets?" Sonia asked.

When Josh walked by the room Annabeth was in, he coincidentally overheard what was said inside.

Hearing Annabeth's name and his name, Josh immediately looked through the gap in the door.

The first thing that came into sight was Annabeth's unhappy expression...

Josh immediately stopped walking.

"Sonia, don't go too far... Do you really think Annabeth can't do it? If she wanted to, she could get even more tickets than you..." Julie snorted coldly.

Chapter 1474

Chapter 1474

"Haha. More than me? Why don't you get Annabeth to do it now? Do you really think it's that easy to get concert tickets from top-notch celebrities like him?

"She couldn't even get an autograph from Josh. Do you think Josh would give her so many tickets? Stop blowing your own trumpet. Will that kill you?" Sonia Judas rolled her eyes. Meanwhile, those ladies near her who had accepted her tickets also rolled their eyes at Annabeth Cates.

Right after that, they started showering Sonia with compliments.

"Sonia, you're amazing... Let's add each other on WeChat. We'll chase after our idol together..."

"I even dream about getting a ticket to Josh's concert... I failed several times to get one. Sonia, you're awesome."

"Sonia, I think that Josh might end up falling in love with an excellent woman like you if you keep going after him..."

"Exactly. Sonia, keep it up... So many celebrities end up being in a relationship with their fans. Do your best to get Josh."

"Woah. I realized that our tickets are all for the tenth row... That's amazing... The tenth row has an excellent view. Sonia, you're the best."

Meanwhile, the men present were all watching idly by.

None of them were willing to offend Sonia, who had a limitless future, for someone like Annabeth.

"The person who gave me those tickets said that he could bring me to meet Josh in person... If any of you wants to go, I can take you with me," Sonia continued to boast... Those women were speaking one after another. Annabeth Cates and Julie Huckleberry didn't even have an opportunity to counter-argue.

"Really? Sonia, you're really amazing."

"Yeah, exactly... I would even dream about taking a picture with Josh... If only we could have a meal together."

A few of the ladies started fantasizing.

Sonia immediately chuckled helplessly. "Forget about having a meal with him. Although my friend is very respectable, he can't get Josh to have a meal with us... "How could a top-notch celebrity casually have a meal with us?" Sonia added.

The other people nodded in agreement.

Right then, Sonia was the center of attention.

She was as proud as a peacock.

Seeing her like this made Annabeth feel disgusted on the inside.

Annabeth had felt miserable from the moment she first joined this class gathering.

Meanwhile, Julie felt the same way too.

Josh Batton was able to see everything clearly behind the door...

His initially gentle expression gradually turned cold...

Meanwhile, one of the girls inside with a ticket in her hand started dissing Annabeth for Sonia.

She glared coldly at Annabeth. "Didn't you say you could get a lot of tickets? Make a call... Tell Josh what you want. Do it in front of us... I'd like to see if Josh will even care." "Annabeth Cates, I hate people like you who act high and mighty the most," the girl added.

At this moment, Annabeth felt awful.

If she really called Josh and told him what she wanted, Josh would undoubtedly agree to it.

After all, Josh felt that he owed her something.

However, this meant that she would be troubling him. She really didn't want to cause any trouble for Josh just to salvage her reputation.

Initially, she didn't want to say things like she could get many tickets.

Unfortunately, Julie had said it.

Annabeth knew that Julie said this to help salvage her reputation. Hence, she didn't blame Julie.

After much thought, Annabeth still decided to play mute. She didn't want to trouble Josh.

"What's the matter? Are you playing mute now? Are you not going to act tough anymore?" the girl asked.

Chapter 1475

Chapter 1475

Annabeth Cates remained silent.

She had been trying very hard to control her emotions, and she kept telling herself to forget about it. In the worst-case scenario, she would stop meeting any of these people after this class reunion... Outside, Josh Batton couldn't stand how those women were verbally bullying Annabeth.

After frowning deeply, Josh pushed the door open and went in.

He was wearing a casual, white shirt with a pair of casual, black, cropped trousers such that his smooth and fair ankles were bare. He was also wearing a pair of white sneakers...

Josh didn't have any makeup on. His hair was parted in a simple three-to-seven ratio and fixed in place with a layer of hair wax. He had a clean yet refreshing appearance.

As soon as Josh walked through the door, everyone in the room was stunned by his good looks.

Although there were many decent-looking men and women there, he easily outshined all of them at this moment.

None of them could compare to his good looks.

Meanwhile, all of Josh's fans, including Sonia, were all stunned at this moment.

None of them could believe what they were seeing.

Josh Batton...

The almighty god! An A-list celebrity! Why would he walk into their room?

Was this how gods descended upon the world in legends?

Suddenly, the entire world fell silent.

Meanwhile, Annabeth was equally stunned. Her heart nearly rose to her throat.

Why was Josh here?

As everyone watched, Josh slowly walked over to Annabeth and looked at her gently. "Did you forget to bring the autographs I signed for you?” Annabeth nodded...

"Do you need tickets to my concert? How many? What about front row tickets?

"If that's not enough, I could reserve the second row for you too..." Josh looked at Annabeth gently as he spoke.

When everyone heard this, they instantly became silent again.

Their eyes were widened.

Those who initially looked down on Annabeth instantly changed their mind...

Was this girl actually able to get Josh, a top among the top, to go to such an extent?

Annabeth was amazing!

It seemed like the things Annabeth and Julie said were all true.....

Meanwhile, Annabeth's eyes were also widened.

At this moment, she felt immensely grateful toward Josh.

She knew that Josh must have overheard their conversation. That was why he was standing up for her...

Meanwhile, Sonia was nearly overwhelmed by jealousy.

How could the man she admired so much be so nice to Annabeth?

How could he?

"No... It's okay. That's too troublesome," Annabeth shook her head and said.

She really didn't want to trouble Josh too much.

However, Josh simply smiled and looked at her ex-classmates, who were holding onto the tickets to his concert. "For Annabeth, I'm willing to offer you better seats. What do you think? Do you want them?" he asked.

Chapter 1476

Chapter 1476

Everyone nodded...

When Josh's gaze landed on them, they felt as if they were going mad!

Many of them dreamed about being looked at by their idol...

A single glance was enough to leave a lasting impression in their youth.

After that, everyone quickly returned their tickets to Sonia Judas.

Everyone started speaking.

"Sorry. Comparatively, first row seats are better..."

"Yeah. The first and second-row seats are indeed better. So, Sonia, I won't be needing your tickets anymore."

"Thank you, Sonia. You can have these back. Sorry."

When people returned the tickets to Sonia one at a time, she felt awful.

At first, she thought she could use these tickets to boost her ego.

However, she instead ended up embarrassing herself.

Josh Batton must have done this because he overheard the things she said and observed her behavior.

Sonia's idol had seen her bad side. She wished she could find a hole and bury herself in it.

Apart from feeling embarrassed, she also felt regretful. It was extremely humiliating.

It turned out that Annabeth Cates wasn't blowing her own trumpet at all.

Josh was unusually nice to her.

If Sonia had known this earlier, she would've tried to establish a close relationship with Annabeth. With that, she might have had the chance to get closer to Josh. Now, not only did she lose someone who could bring her closer to Josh, but she had even left a poor impression on him.

Even if Sonia managed to get close to Josh in the future, he would surely not be interested in her.

Logically speaking, none of this should've happened.

Annabeth was only Josh's assistant. How could she have such a significant status?

It didn't make sense at all.

"Give your address to Annabeth later. Then, when the time comes, I'll mail the tickets to you." Josh looked calmly at the people who returned their tickets as he spoke. Everyone nodded fervently.

"Also, did you all want autographs? Annabeth will mail them over to you guys too," Josh added.

Everyone nodded again.

None of them knew what to say anymore.

"Also, Annabeth, you've done very well at work... I'll suggest to the CEO to promote you as my manager...

"When the time comes, you'll receive bonuses based on my income... All the best... If you can perform well in the manager role, I'll suggest to the company to keep promoting you..." Josh added.

To be honest, even if none of these things happened today, Josh would have said so...

He had already made up his mind long ago.

Indeed, Annabeth was very capable. Unfortunately, being an assistant was a waste of her talent.

When Annabeth heard these things, she was stunned.

The people who looked down on Annabeth all felt humiliated.

They all started feeling that Annabeth was amazing.

Annabeth was going to become Josh Batton's manager, the top-notch among top-notch in the industry. Her bonuses would be unimaginably massive!

Moreover, Josh even said that if she performed well, he'd talk to the company to continue promoting her.

That also meant that Annabeth would have an opportunity to become a high-level executive!

She indeed had a bright future....

When the time came, Annabeth would become someone they couldn't even get close to!

These people truly felt regretful. Why didn't they treat Annabeth a little more compassionately before? After all, she had so much potential.

Meanwhile, Annabeth felt utterly stunned by the sudden chain of timely news.

Chapter 1477

Chapter 1477

After being flabbergasted for a few minutes, Annabeth Cates immediately recollected herself.

She figured that Josh Batton probably said those things because he wanted to boost her reputation in front of her ex-classmates.

He didn't mean what he said.

After all, Annabeth didn't have sufficient academic experience. She wasn't qualified to become an artist's manager at all...

However, although she knew this very well in her heart, she still nodded and looked at Josh. "Thank you, Josh..." "Don't mention it. You've acquired it through your efforts." Josh chuckled.

"Why did you come here? Didn't you say you were going to game at home?" Annabeth looked at Josh and asked.

Josh chuckled again. "After getting home, a director suddenly asked to meet me. We happened to be meeting in the next room."

"Josh... I really like you a lot. I wonder if you could have a meal with us?" Julie Huckleberry looked at Josh and asked excitedly.

When Josh heard this, he instantly looked at Annabeth. "Whether I stay or leave will depend on Annabeth... Annabeth, would you like me to stay?" This sentence helped improve Annabeth's image even further...

Annabeth was instantly charmed by Josh's behavior.

The man she had a crush on was very gentle and considerate.

"Would... Would you like to stay?" Annabeth asked.

"Yeah. I'm a little hungry..." Josh said.

"In that case, stay..." Annabeth said.

Josh chuckled.

After that, Josh's fans started serving him dutifully by bringing him a chair and preparing a dipping sauce for him.

Josh and Annabeth didn't need to worry about anything.

In the end, Josh was made to sit between Annabeth and Julie.

Once Josh was seated, everyone stumbled back to their seats...

Although everyone was in their seat, their gaze was still fixated on Josh.

Suddenly, the hotpot on the table no longer smelled as good.

After sitting down, Josh began placing ingredients in the pot and heaping cooked food onto Annabeth's plate...

Throughout the entire process, he seemed well-taught and gentle.

The female fans in the room were all extremely jealous when they saw him doing these things...

Sonia Judas, who sat across from Annabeth, felt especially jealous.

How could Annabeth be this lucky?

How?

Why was Josh so nice to her?

Was there an unspeakable relationship between the two of them?

If that were true, Sonia felt even more jealous!

Had the man she dreamed about sleeping with actually slept with Annabeth?

No...

This was impossible.

Josh definitely wouldn't fall for Annabeth.

Sonia kept consoling herself in her heart...

When Annabeth saw Josh doing things for her, she scratched her head embarrassedly. "Josh... You don't have to do this. I can do it myself."

If this went on, Annabeth was truly worried that rumors about Josh might spread.

"It's fine... You've always looked after me. So it's only right that I occasionally look after you," Josh said.

When his female fans heard this, they suffered yet another emotional breakdown!

How could their beloved idol be so nice to another girl?

He was willing to stoop down for Annabeth! He was cooking food for her in a hotpot!

This was something they didn't even dare dream of!

Chapter 1478

Chapter 1478

At this moment, each of them wished they could become Annabeth Cates.

How could they have looked down on Annabeth?

Wasn't she much better than them in every way?

Each of them fought so hard to get close to Josh Batton just so he might look at them once...

But what about Annabeth?

Not only did Josh look at her a lot, but she could even get Josh to behave like this.

Most importantly, Josh was even going to vouch for her at work!

In the future, Annabeth might become a very prominent female figure in the entertainment industry with Josh's help.

Who wouldn't want to become a woman like her?

Who wouldn't want to replace her?

After that, Josh kept himself busy the entire time. Although Annabeth felt embarrassed on the inside, she had no choice but to accept his overwhelming kindness...

Julie Huckleberry felt delighted when she saw the two of them being on such good terms.

"Josh... Thank you for being so nice to Annabeth..." Julie looked at Josh and smiled.

Personally, she loved Josh a lot.

Now that she could see her idol being so approachable in private, she loved him even more.

The man that she loved deeply truly deserved her love.

The personality that he displayed onscreen was exactly how he was in person. He was genuine!

"As I should..." Josh said softly. After that, he grabbed a slice of beef for Annabeth. "Don't you like beef? Have some more..."

After saying this, Josh looked at the rest of the crowd. "I'll pay for all expenses tonight. Order as much as you like..."

Everyone instantly became overjoyed...

They also envied Annabeth even more.

"Josh, thank you..." Annabeth said with a smile.

Apart from feeling happy, she also felt very embarrassed...

That was because she was making Josh spend money on her again.

"Don't mention it," Josh said.

"Josh, may I ask you a question?" Julie looked deeply at Sonia before carefully shifting her gaze to Josh's face...

Up until now, she still felt that what she was experiencing was surreal...

The man she thought about day and night was sitting right next to her. He was only a few centimeters away from her... Wasn't this way too magical?

"Yeah," Josh said.

"What kind of girl do you like? Would you consider a female live streamer as your girlfriend?" Julie asked.

At that moment, Sonia's heart immediately tightened. She subconsciously looked at Josh...

Although she knew that the game was over for her, she still had some hope.

However, Josh answered the question without any hesitation. "No."

That meant he would never want a female live streamer as his girlfriend.

To be honest, he purposely said this for Sonia.

He simply couldn't stand how she bullied Annabeth.

When Sonia heard this, her heart shattered into pieces...

Julie, however, became extremely excited. "Is that so... Well then, someone might have to stop having unrealistic fantasies."

After Julie made the statement, Sonia instantly felt even more awkward.

Josh, on the other hand, didn't reply. Instead, he continued to place ingredients in the pot expressionlessly.

***

After the deal, everyone chatted with Annabeth and Josh for a long while before letting them leave.

Those who initially couldn't be bothered to speak with Annabeth now all addressed her as 'darling'. They acted as if they were very close to her...

Chapter 1479

Chapter 1479

This class reunion made Annabeth Cates realize on a deep level how easily people changed.

Annabeth followed Josh Batton to his white Ferrari.

She sat in the passenger seat while Josh sat in the driver's seat.

In the car, it was dark and quiet.

The light from a nearby street light shone upon Josh's face, clearly accentuating his distinct jawline in the dark...

"Josh... Thank you for everything you did for me today," Annabeth said earnestly as she looked at Josh's attractive side profile.

"You're welcome," Josh said.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to our CEO and suggest that you become my manager..." Josh added.

When Annabeth heard this, she felt even more shocked...

At first, she thought Josh had only said it to fool everyone.

Was he serious?

Why was Josh doing this?

Was it because they slept together?

"If it's because we slept together, you don't have to do it..." Annabeth looked at Josh and said earnestly.

"I told you not to care about that thing. Besides, you've done enough for me since that thing happened..." Annabeth said.

Josh had already given her a house, a car and even boosted her reputation during her class reunion...

Annabeth didn't want to get any more stuff from Josh.

"No... I've already decided on this before this thing happened... I wanted to vouch for you not because anything happened between us. It's because you are terrific," Josh said. "Really?" Annabeth had a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"I wouldn't lie to you," Josh said truthfully.

"If that's the case, I'll accept it, and I'll even thank you... If it isn't, I want to refuse..." Annabeth said.

"Believe me, alright?" Josh said with a serious look in his eyes.

"Are you being serious?" Annabeth asked curiously.

However, it was too dark for her to read Josh's facial expression.

"I told you. I wouldn't lie to you..." Josh repeated.

"Fine. I believe you." Annabeth nodded gently.

"Where shall we go?" Josh asked.

"Back to my house..." Annabeth said.

"Okay..."

." Josh answered softly.

After that, Josh became quiet. Then, he turned on the engine and steered the car into traffic.

Annabeth also stopped speaking. Instead, she silently leaned into her seat and closed her eyes to rest.

The class reunion sure made her feel exhausted.

Things really were different after growing up...

When she was younger, everyone would only talk about studying, who hated someone in class, and who was handsome in the next class whenever they grouped up together. However, after everyone had grown up, they couldn't stop talking about money, career, and other materialistic things like these.

If one did well in life, one would naturally be popular during class reunions.

If one didn't do well in life, one would naturally be ignored during class reunions...

***

Meanwhile, in a brightly lit bathroom, Xyla Quest kneeled in front of the toilet. She had nearly vomited her guts out...

Her beautiful face was completely red.

Stanley Batton kneeled on one leg next to her the whole time as he carefully and gently patted her back.

Stanley had a concerned and heartbroken look in his eyes.

Chapter 1480

Chapter 1480

"How do you feel?" Stanley Batton asked.

"Not too great... I feel terrible..." Xyla Quest said as she tried to vomit, but nothing came out.

As she spoke, she almost broke out in tears.

After taking a deep breath, Xyla continued to hold the toilet seat with both hands as she tried to vomit.

She didn't eat anything in the afternoon and at night because of the severe vomiting caused by her pregnancy.

Right then, Xyla felt as if she'd drunk an entire liter of alcohol.

She felt dizzy and nauseous.

After seeing Xyla like this, Stanley immediately frowned deeply. "Honey... After this time, we won't have children again... I'll get sterilized..." He said.

"Going through such a painful process once is more than enough..." The more Stanley said the more his heart ached.

Xyla immediately felt warmth spread in her chest after hearing what Stanley said.

Although most men knew how much women suffered from pregnancy, very few could say something like this.

The men from wealthy families, especially, would find it very difficult to say stuff like this.

A person could only go this far if he truly loved a woman.

Xyla chuckled. "I didn't plan on having more children either... But, okay, as you wish..."

Now, there were two babies in her...

To Xyla, that was more than enough.

Besides, being pregnant was such a complicated process. Xyla really didn't want to experience it a second time.

At first, she thought she'd be mentally prepared for it.

That was because she thought she knew everything about the pains of being pregnant.

However, when she was going through it herself, she realized that she was utterly helpless.

Suddenly, she felt nauseous again...

Xyla once again tried to vomit while facing the toilet seat.

This time, an immeasurable amount of acidic juice gushed out of her mouth.

Because she barely ate, her hypoglycemia was acting up again. She felt dizzy.

Xyla immediately turned to look at Stanley while panting. "Honey... I need some glucose... My hypoglycemia is acting up again..."

Stanley quickly retrieved a glucose pill from his pocket and fed it to Xyla.

Xyla immediately chewed on it and swallowed its content.

At the same time, the nauseous feeling in her stomach lessened significantly...

Xyla carefully stood up right away.

With Stanley's help, Xyla walked over to the spotless sink. She washed her hand before gargling and brushing her teeth...

Once she finished brushing her teeth, the nauseous feeling returned.

This time, Xyla still couldn't vomit anything.

However, her entire body was exhausted from the repeated vomiting.

She leaned against Stanley's body as she panted...

Since Xyla was able to replenish glucose in time, her headache had been relieved significantly.

Seeing how Xyla was in a terrible state, he instantly picked her up and carried her over to the bed in the master bedroom.

As soon as Xyla touched the bed's surface, she sank into it...

After lying down, nausea lessened.

Stanley's heart started aching painfully when he saw Xyla like this.

"You must not have an appetite now. How about this... I'll call Stephen Harris over to give you some nutritional drip..." After saying that, Stanley took his phone out and called Zack Cassidy.

Once the call was answered, Stanley immediately gave his order. "Bring Stephen Harris to my house right away... Ask him to give Xyla some nutritional drip..."
