Chapter 1641

Usually, the mother-in-law was the one who would have expectations toward her daughter-in-law. For example, the daughter-in-law would be expected to treat the husband in a certain way. This was the first time Annabeth Cates saw a mother making so many requests for her son before her future daughter-in-law.

Annabeth truly felt that her future mother-in-law was unique.

"I know. Thank you... Ms. Lindt," Annabeth said.

"Oh, right. I haven't properly introduced myself... My name is Sharon Lindt. As you know, I'm Josh's mother..." Sharon quickly extended her hand to Annabeth.

Annabeth shook her hand. "I'm Annabeth Cates..."

"Oh, right. Annabeth, what are your plans on managing your joint finances after the two of you get married?" Sharon asked.

Annabeth was a little stunned. She hadn't thought about this at all. "I haven't thought about this..."

"It doesn't matter... You'll have to be in charge," Sharon said before turning to look at Josh. "Did you hear me?" she asked.

Josh nodded obediently. "Yes, I would've done the same even if you hadn't said so..."

Annabeth felt overwhelmed by Sharon's affection...

Wasn't Sharon a wonderful future mother-in-law?

"Ms. Lindt, it's fine. Josh can take care of his finances... I don't mind at all," Annabeth said.

"You don't, but I do..." Sharon said.

"I really think it's unnecessary," Annabeth said.

"You'll have to do as I say about this. You two can decide for yourselves on other matters," Sharon said firmly.

"Alright, it's been decided. It's only right for the wife to oversee household finances," Josh said before walking over to Annabeth and sitting down next to her. He put his arms around her.

"Alright then..." Annabeth said. Since they had already said as much, Annabeth felt it would be inappropriate for her to refuse.

"Annabeth, I've made you a nutritious breakfast. Let me heat it up for you. You should have your breakfast soon..." Sharon put her phone down and stood up. She then proceeded to enter the kitchen. Annabeth felt even more surprised.

Not only did Sharon buy her clothes, skincare products, cosmetics, contact lenses, and makeup tools, but she even made her breakfast.

"Ms. Lindt, I'll heat it up myself," Annabeth said before quickly standing up.

"Sit tight and don't move. You should act like a pregnant lady." With that, Sharon entered the kitchen.

Annabeth seemed embarrassed. She immediately stood up and wanted to follow Sharon into the kitchen.

However, when Josh saw this, he immediately reached out and pulled her onto his lap. "Let my mother do it... Even if you follow her inside, she won't let you do any work...

"She has said this before. Women who marry into the Batton family are never meant to work in the kitchen," Josh said.

"Are you sure this is fine?" Annabeth asked.

"Of course. It's the same for Xyla, as for any of the other women who become part of our family..." Josh replied.

"Your family is truly unique," Annabeth said.

Sitting on Josh's lap like this made Annabeth blush without her realizing it...

Annabeth genuinely felt embarrassed. Hence, she returned to her original seat.

"It is indeed unique. I didn't lie to you, did I? Isn't my mother special?" Josh asked. "Yeah... She's practically a fairy," Annabeth said.

"That's true," Josh said.

Annabeth chuckled before taking her phone out and was about to have a look at Weibo.

When she opened Weibo, she realized that it was still under maintenance.

The entire page was still blank.

"Stop looking at it. It's been down since I checked in the morning when I woke up...

"There are probably too many people talking about me on Weibo," Josh said nonchalantly.

Chapter 1642

Chapter 1642

"That's for sure. You're a top-notch celebrity... There are already so many people talking about you in the middle of the night, let alone during the day." Annabeth Cates felt even worse when she thought about that.

However, at this point, feeling awful wouldn't help with anything. She could only deal with things as they came.

Everything would depend on the company's management and arrangement for what happened next.

After taking a deep breath, Annabeth tried to enter Weibo again.

This time, however, it worked...

Weibo seemed even more active than it was during the night.

Topics related to Annabeth and Josh Batton occupied nearly the entire list of hot topics.

Moreover, each topic had the word 'explosive' behind them.

Annabeth had never seen anything quite as extreme as this.

What was a nationwide phenomenon?

This was probably it.

Through the list of hot topics, Annabeth could already guess what Josh's fans were talking about.

Apart from unfollowing Josh, some of his fans also reluctantly offered their kind wishes.

Meanwhile, Josh's fans from other countries also behaved in the same way.

Josh's relationship had made it onto many foreign lists of hot topics.

Currently, it could be said that the entire world had its eyes on her and Josh.

When Annabeth opened her Weibo profile page, she saw that people who followed her discussed her relationship with Josh.

Many of them were curious about how an ordinary girl like her could stand out from a crowd of stunningly beautiful women. Everyone didn't seem to care about anything else other than Annabeth and Josh.

It wasn't that Annabeth had never seen celebrities making their relationships public.

In fact, each of those cases garnered a lot of attention.

However, none of them received as much attention as Josh's relationship.

Annabeth had always been overlooked ever since she was a child.

After growing up and entering the workforce, she was also an unnoticeable employee.

Other people had never bothered to pay attention to her.

But now, because of Josh, the entire world was looking at her.

Everyone was curious about her.

This sudden and unprecedented feeling made Annabeth feel out of place.

Right then, her phone started ringing.

Her ex-classmates, friends, and colleagues were sending her messages on WeChat.

Everyone was asking about her and Josh.

They were congratulating her and saying good things about her.

Suddenly, everyone she knew was treating her nicer than before.

Chapter 1643

Chapter 1643

Many people who had never personally approached Annabeth Cates before suddenly reached out to her.

Many of her colleagues who used to take hours to reply to her texts had also changed their attitude. They were quick to respond now.

Annabeth learned the harsh truth of reality through this incident.

There were too many people's text messages for her to respond to. Hence, she decided not to reply to any of them. Instead, she closed WeChat and continued to browse through Weibo... Back on her Weibo profile page, she saw a lot of posts shared by marketing accounts. These were from Josh's fans.

The Weibo posts were all their genuine thoughts and feelings—

"While I'm still troubled about buying Josh's concert ticket, you already have him all to yourself. I'm truly envious of you. Please take good care of Josh for the rest of your lives together..."

"I can't bring myself to wish you happiness, Josh, but I can't bring myself to stop being your fan either. That's because it's impossible to like anyone else after having seen someone so perfect like you. Although I'm unwilling to admit it, I still want to say that I'm jealous of Annabeth. Oh, how I wish I were the one who'd be with you till the very end..."

"Listen up, Annabeth. You'd better take care of Josh. If you do anything bad to him, we, his fans, will skin you alive."

"I still can't accept that the man of my dreams is taken by another woman. Do I feel sad? I'm very sad. However, what else can I do but wish for his happiness?"

"I'm honestly going crazy. When I read that Josh was in a relationship in the middle of the night, I unfollowed him. However, within two hours, I already came crawling back. Sob-sob. Josh, I can't leave you."

"Me too. I came crawling back within three hours after unfollowing him. Sob-sob. He's too handsome. I was planning to find a new idol, but no one can compare to Josh."

Previously, all the comments were negative. However, now that Annabeth suddenly saw so many different screenshots, she felt much more at ease.

Although Annabeth wanted to continue reading further, Josh grabbed her phone and locked it. "Alright, stop reading... Pregnant women should rest in peace. Don't make yourself anxious."

"I feel even more unsettled if I don't read them..." Annabeth said.

"You don't have to feel unsettled. It'll affect the baby in your stomach. So think about the baby, okay?" Josh said.

Annabeth nodded obediently.

After approximately fifteen minutes, Sharon Lindt brought the food she'd prepared to the dining room.

It was a grand breakfast. There were meat buns, milk, bird's nest, and three different types of pickled vegetables.

Once everything was ready, Sharon walked to the dining room's entrance with a smile. She looked affectionately at Annabeth and Josh from behind. "Breakfast is ready, kids. Come and eat..." When Annabeth heard this, she immediately held Josh's hand and stood up. After that, they quickly walked into the bathroom to wash their hands.

Once they were done, they walked into the dining room one after another.

There was a white-and-blue checkered tablecloth on the dining table. It was a refreshing sight.

The food glistened under warm rays of sunlight, and steam could be seen rising in the air. A single glance was enough to make one feel warm in the heart.

Annabeth walked over to Sharon and sat down next to her. "Thank you, Ms. Lindt... It must have been a lot of work."

Sharon held Annabeth's hand with an affectionate smile. "Why so courteous? If you think it was a lot of work, you should eat more. Alright?"

Annabeth nodded.

Immediately after that, Sharon started placing food on Annabeth's plate. "Annabeth, you should have more of these meat buns. They're good for you and the baby... "Also, have some of these pickled vegetables. I've added some vinegar. It tastes wonderful," Sharon said.

"Here, these are pickled radishes. Have some more," Sharon added.

Annabeth felt even more at ease when she saw how passionate Sharon seemed...

"Thank you, Ms. Lindt..." Annabeth said.

"Hey, I've said it before. You don't have to be courteous with me. Now that you're a part of the family, I'll treat you like my daughter. Oh, right, Annabeth..." Sharon trailed off.

Chapter 1644

Chapter 1644

"Go ahead..." Annabeth Cates looked seriously at Sharon Lindt's face. She then picked up a meat bun and placed it on Sharon's plate.

"Thank you, Annabeth. I only wanted to ask when your parents would be free. I'd like to drop by and visit them," Sharon said.

"My parents are both retired. They're free all the time. But you don't have to go through all that trouble. I can return home to pick my parents up. We'll just meet in Atlantis..." Annabeth said. Coincidentally, Annabeth also wanted to bring her parents over to spend time with her.

"It's not troublesome at all. Wherever it is, I could get there within minutes with a private helicopter. Tell me then. Where is your house?" Sharon asked.

"We live in a small district. It's called Belleville," Annabeth said.

"Alright... In that case, let your parents know that we'll visit them the day after tomorrow. My husband and I both happen to be free then," Sharon said.

"Okay..." Annabeth nodded.

Annabeth was going to call her parents to tell them about it after Sharon left anyway.

"Also, I wanted to ask... Where would you like to buy a house to live in with Josh? Is there a specific place you like? It can be anywhere, as long as you like it. You don't have to worry about the money," Sharon said.

"You'll be the sole owner of the house..." Sharon added.

Annabeth felt pleasantly surprised when she heard this.

Wasn't the Batton family too nice to her?

"It's fine... I think living here is good enough. I like the ocean," Annabeth said.

"Isn't this house a little too small?" Sharon looked around in disgust.

"It isn't. I think it's decent," Annabeth quickly said.

To her, this house was already good enough.

Compared to where she lived before, this was practically heaven.

"Fine then Get Josh to transfer the ownership of this house to you later... Consider it your wedding gift..." Sharon said before turning to look at Josh's face. "Did you hear me?" Sharon asked.

Josh nodded obediently.

"No, it's fine... It doesn't matter who owns it. Ms. Lindt, I don't care about these things," Annabeth quickly said as she shook her head.

"This has already been decided... If you disagree, I'm going to get upset. You don't want me to be upset, do you?" Sharon asked.

Sharon's tone was authoritative. There wasn't any opportunity for dispute at all.

Annabeth shook her head obediently. Of course, she didn't want Sharon to be upset.

"Great... Do as I say. Stop nagging. If you continue nagging, I'll leave..." Sharon suddenly became serious.

Annabeth didn't dare to speak any further.

When Sharon saw this, she let out a long sigh of relief. She then turned to look at Josh. "Josh, your brothers are all wonderful to their wives, especially Stanley. You should follow their lead, got it?"

Josh nodded obediently again.

"Hmm... That's a good boy. But, Josh, you must remember what

ve taught you at all times.net

If your don't treat your wife well, you'll end up dead," Sharon said.

Josh nodded again. "Yes, yes. I wouldn't dare to go against what you say."

Annabeth couldn't help but smile when she listened to their conversation.

Would Josh end up dead if he didn't treat his wife well?

The Batton family sure had a unique way of bringing up their children.

These rich folks didn't seem as challenging to interact with as Annabeth had imagined. Sharon left immediately after breakfast.

Chapter 1645

Chapter 1645

Meanwhile, Josh Batton stayed in the kitchen to do the dishes.

Although Annabeth Cates wanted to help, Josh insisted on doing it alone. Left without a choice, Annabeth returned to the living room on her own. She picked up her phone and wanted to browse through Weibo...

However, when she tried to open Weibo, she saw that it had crashed again...

After several failed attempts, Annabeth put her phone down and switched on the television.

The moment she turned it on, she saw the entertainment channel.

Her relationship with Josh was being discussed.

Ding-dong, ding-dong-

Just as Annabeth was about to change the channel, she heard the doorbell ringing.

She quickly stood up and walked over to the door before looking at the surveillance screen.

Xyla Quest's face was on it.

From the screen, Annabeth could see that Xyla had on intricate peach-colored makeup. There was a tear-shaped mole at one corner of her eye, and her long, dark, curly hair fell naturally around her shoulders Xyla wore a beige coat. She seemed like an angel from above.

Even through the door, Annabeth could sense Xyla's noble qualities...

Annabeth quickly opened the door.

Soon, Xyla walked into the house.

Xyla was stunned for a moment when she saw Annabeth, who had intricate makeup on.

When Xyla saw Annabeth during regular workdays, Annabeth rarely had makeup on. Even if she did, her makeup wouldn't be this intricate.

Xyla had no idea that Annabeth could look so beautiful when she removed her black-framed glasses and put on proper makeup.

"Hello... Ms. Quest," Annabeth said politely.

"Don't call me Ms. Quest anymore.

You can call me Xyla from now on..."

Xyla said passionately. With that,

she immediately changed into

slippers and shook Annabeth's hand.

Annabeth suddenly felt a little nervous at the sight of such a gorgeous woman.

As someone who cared about looks, Annabeth liked Xyla's appearance a lot.

Xyla was practically the epitome of beauty.

"It's still too early. I should still call you Ms. Quest..." Annabeth said.

"Do what makes you feel comfortable," Xyla said. She didn't care about how she was addressed.

"Is Josh home?" Xyla asked.

"Yeah, he is..." Annabeth replied.

After Xyla heard this, she smiled. She then pulled Annabeth by the hand and walked into the living room.

"Ms. Quest, have a seat..." Annabeth said, pointing at a couch nearby.

Josh, who was cleaning dishes at the sink, heard the noise. He quickly wiped his foamy hands on his apron before walking over to Xyla and sitting down next to her. "Xyla... Why are you here?"

"I came to visit you two and talk to you about what we should do next..." Xyla said after she had sat down.

"Oh," Josh replied softly. He tried his best not to stare at her.

Although he had deep-rooted feelings for Xyla, he was going to be with Annabeth from now on. So he needed to be mindful.

Josh couldn't make the mother of his child feel uncomfortable.

When Annabeth saw that they had both sat down, she casually sat down across them.

Annabeth looked at Xyla's gorgeous face. She then thought about

herself. At that momenet

felt extremely self-abased. SV

Xyla was so much prettier compared to her.

Chapter 1646

Chapter 1646

While Xyla Quest was confident, outgoing, and noble, Annabeth Cates was self-abased, emotionally fragile, and ordinary.

There was no comparing these two.

Annabeth could sense how Josh Batton felt about Xyla.

For this very reason, she felt even more self-abased.

She was inferior to Xyla in every way.

When Annabeth looked at Xyla's face, she suddenly felt baffled.

She wondered how Josh felt about being with a woman who was nothing like Xyla.

Would he feel immensely disappointed about their differences?

"Go ahead. I'm listening..." Josh said.

"Firstly, I want you two to go on live to share your daily routine as a couple. You two must make sure you behave a little more intimately...

"It must evoke positive feelings in others...

"You have to let your fans see that you two are happy together. Moreover, let them understand why you had to choose Annabeth through the live stream... Make everything public while you're at the peak of your popularity....

"Based on the current statistics, up to ten million fans have unfollowed you since you went public with your relationship. However, out of these ten million people, nearly half of them still can't get over you. "This means that these people genuinely love you. I believe that, as long as you can show them that you're happy, they will try to understand where you're coming from.

"Those who stay naturally love you even more. I believe that they will never abandon you if they see that you're happy and they find out that Annabeth isn't as evil as those marketing accounts claim her to be. "Under these circumstances, it's impossible for you to get all your fans back. So we can only try to salvage as much as possible..." Xyla explained carefully.

When Xyla woke up this morning, she found out from Georgie Clementine about what happened with Josh and Annabeth.

Immediately after that, Sharon Lindt also called to tell her about the two of them.

After speaking to them on the

phone, Xyla went over to Weibo to better understand the situation. Moreover, she had a virtual meeting with the Public Relations

Department to discuss this.

Through their discussion, they came up with this plan.

Initially, the Public Relations Department had another plan...

However, Xyla felt that their plan wasn't good enough. Hence, she shared her thoughts. Later, they came to a unified decision.

"Also, Annabeth, you can take this opportunity to reply to Josh's fans after the live stream. Tell them you will be with Josh forever and that they shouldn't worry. Make sure you sound genuine..." Xyla added.

Annabeth felt that the plan was good. Hence, she quickly nodded.

She was willing to do anything good for Josh.

Meanwhile, Josh also thought nothing was wrong with it. Hence, he also nodded. "Alright, we'll do as you said..."

"Xyla... I'm sorry for the trouble I've

caused the company. I've also

you worry," Josh said apologe

His gaze was gentle when he looked

at Xyla.

He knew how big a mess he had caused.

People in the company must have nearly gone mad because of what he did...

However, Xyla shrugged nonchalantly. "Why so courteous? You've already done the deed. Let's just try to salvage the situation."

To be honest, if Xyla didn't look at this from the company's boss's perspective and considered this a family member, she was truly happy for Josh.

Josh was a kind and wonderful man. He finally found a good partner. This was something worth celebrating.

Chapter 1647

Chapter 1647

Although Josh Batton didn't love Annabeth Cates now, Xyla Quest believed that he would sooner or later.

Annabeth was a good girl.

A lot of times, it made sense to get married before falling in love. For example, Xyla and Stanley Batton did the same thing.

"Thank you, Xyla..." Josh said earnestly.

"Thank you, Ms. Quest. As long as it's good for Josh, I'm willing to do anything," Annabeth said as she looked at Xyla seriously.

"Alright, stop it..." Xyla smiled. After that, she turned to look at Josh. "Stanley was thrilled when he found out that you're getting married and that you'll soon become a father. He wanted me to congratulate you on his behalf," Xyla said.

"Thank him for me," Josh said with a smile.

Xyla didn't stay long.

Around noon, Wilson Batton and Sharon Lindt came to Josh's house together.

Wilson and Annabeth met officially for the first time.

Throughout the entire process, Annabeth behaved gently and obediently. Wilson seemed to approve of his future daughter-in-law.

Later that evening, X Entertainment made an important announcement that Josh and Annabeth would be doing a live stream on Flying Fish Media of their day spent together as a couple the following day... The live stream would start at six o'clock in the morning as soon as they woke up.

After the announcement was made, Annabeth tried logging into Weibo again. It crashed...

Josh's fans and random netizens had different opinions about this announcement.

Some said they looked forward to it, while others said they hated it.

People were saying all sorts of things on the internet.

***

The following day at six o'clock, Josh woke up. As soon as he did so, he got up and leaned against the e head of the bed. He then logged into Flying Fish Media's application and entered the live stream channel he had registered in advance.

Once the live stream started, his face appeared on the screen...

On the screen, he wore a white silk pajama. Without any makeup on, he seemed casually lazy. His hair was slightly messy.

However, even so, he was still surprisingly handsome.

Before the live stream started, a few thousand people were already waiting on the live stream channel.

Once he started the live stream, the comments came flooding in-

"Ahh... Josh is so handsome."

"Ahh... He looks so pure. He's handsome even without any makeup on. I love him..."

"It's all the collagen's fault. I feel as if I can instantly forgive him after seeing his face."

"Josh, look at me. Sob-sob. I don't feel angry anymore after seeing you..."

Josh glanced briefly at the screen.

He then pointed the camera at

Annabeth, who was still sleeping. He

reached out and gently brushed

Annabeth's hair. "Darling, it's time to

get up..."

Meanwhile, Annabeth was still sound asleep.

When she heard Josh's voice, she naturally moved closer to him and hugged him by the waist. "Don't bug me. I haven't slept enough."

After saying that, Annabeth rubbed against Josh's body again.

Josh, on the other hand, naturally slipped downward and returned

under the covers. He continued.net

Chapter 1648

The scene on the live stream was even more beautiful than in romance dramas...

In the live stream channel-

"Ahh... Why did I come here? Kill me already."

"They are such a lovely couple. I believe Josh truly loves her."

"Sob-sob... So this is what Josh looks like when he's in love. He's so gentle. I'm jealous."

"I'm jealous too. So let's spam the chat with the word 'jealous'."

"Annabeth, get lost..."

"Wake up... Didn't we say we are going to do a live stream?" Josh Batton said softly by Annabeth Cates' ear.

When Annabeth heard this, she immediately sprung up on the bed.

As soon as she saw the camera, she quickly covered her face and ran into the bathroom.

Inside the live stream channel-

"Her facial expression was hilarious when she realized she was being filmed... Haha..."

"To be honest, Annabeth doesn't look too bad. Although she's not stunningly beautiful, she's not ugly either. I think she'll look pretty with some makeup on."

After Annabeth left, Josh entered the bathroom with his phone.

Right then, Annabeth was brushing her teeth as she faced the mirror.

Josh placed the phone and its tripod by the sink to make sure they were both on camera.

Once everything was prepared, he stood next to Annabeth.

Annabeth had already squeezed out some toothpaste onto his electric toothbrush. She also filled up a glass of water for him.

Josh casually picked up his toothbrush and glass. He then started brushing his teeth.

In the live stream channel -

"Ahh... These tiny actions are adorable. Annabeth is very attentive."

"The love between them goes both ways..."

"Those conspiracies are no longer valid. They seem so natural together. How could they not be in love with each other?"

Annabeth didn't dare to look at the camera at all. "What do you want for breakfast today?" she asked Josh as she brushed her teeth.

"You're pregnant. Don't bother preparing breakfast. I'll do it," Josh said.

"To be honest, I'm fine..." Annabeth said.

"Have you forgotten what your future mother-in-law said?" Josh asked.

"Fine..." Annabeth replied.

Josh smiled a little before gently ruffling her hair. "Good girl. What do you want to eat?"

Annabeth thought carefully for a

while. "I want some dumplings, but I don't think there's any left in the fridge... Why don't we order takeaway?"

Josh shook his head before gargling once. He then continued to brush his teeth. There's no need. How could takeaway food be better than what I make?" FindNovel.net

"Do you know how to make dumplings?" Annabeth asked.

"Just wait and see," Josh said.

Right then, the live stream channel was still flooded with comments.

"Josh is going to make dumplings for Annabeth... I'm jealous."

"Josh is a man who can cook. Annabeth, you're lucky."

"I feel even more jealous now. Annabeth, get lost already."

"Ugly..."

When Josh unintentionally glanced at the live stream channel, he saw the comment about Annabeth being ugly.

He frowned unhappily. "If you think

she's

get out... If I see

else calling my future wife ugly, I'll

block you and never see met

again."

In the live stream channel-

"Woah..."

"This is the first time I've seen Josh speaking to his fans in this tone."

Chapter 1649

Chapter 1649

"Josh genuinely loves Annabeth... He can't even stand it when someone insults her with a single word." Meanwhile, '#Josh Batton's live stream#' had taken the top spot in the list of hot topics on Weibo.

It was the topic that received the most attention this morning.

As time went on, the number of viewers in Josh Batton's live stream channel had also exceeded 300 million...

Flying Fish Media's live stream platform began to experience lags due to the sudden increase in viewers. Flying Fish Media's official technicians worked around the clock to ensure the live stream could operate normally. This live stream had broken the record for having the highest number of recorded viewers.

As the crowd increased, the comments in Josh's live stream channel also increased.

Comments occupied the entire screen. Josh couldn't see anything else apart from the comments on the screen.

After the two of them were done cleaning up, Josh took his phone and walked into the kitchen while holding Annabeth's hand.

Once the phone was set up, he started kneading the dough.

Annabeth stood gently by his side. "Do you need my help?"

"Sitting next to me will be the greatest help you can offer," Josh said.

"But I want to help you," Annabeth said.

"It's okay. Good girl..." Josh said.

After hearing this, Annabeth remained silent and watched as Josh kneaded the dough.

Once the kneading was complete, Josh used a mincer to mince the meat filling. Next, he added onion, ginger, and other condiments to make the perfect filling. Immediately after that, Josh started making the dumplings.

He couldn't get busier.

Annabeth seemed embarrassed next to him. "Are you sure you don't need my help? Let me help you."

Josh chuckled. "Grab a chair and sit next to me. Chat with me."

"That's all?" Annabeth asked.

Josh suddenly became stern. "Annabeth, are you trying to make me angry?"

Annabeth shook her head. "No..."

After that, Annabeth grabbed a chair and sat next to Josh as she watched him make dumplings.

In the camera, the two of them looked like an old couple who had been married for years.

There was a sense of peace to it.

Comments were still flooding the live stream channel-

"I think I know why Josh chose her. It's because she can help him calm down and slow down."

"I'm beginning to accept their marriage. Josh looks really happy like this."

"Sob-sob... Why does Annabeth get to have Josh? He's such a perfect guy."

"I've decided to become a fan. Josh is such an excellent and considerate man He's the ideal husband

belongs to sh

"I don't even dare to touch Josh's hand. And yet you're letting him make dumplings for you..."

Annabeth sat very close to the phone...

She was able to see everything on the screen by simply turning around.

Annabeth immediately chuckled. "Yeah... He is the ideal husband."

When everyone saw how Annabeth was starting to interact with them, the comments grew wilder-

"How many months have you been pregnant? When are you getting married?"

"How does it feel like to sleep with Josh?"

"Please tell us when Josh became yours."

Annabeth felt dizzy at the sight of so many questions. She scratched her head awkwardly. "I've only been pregnant for less than a month. The wedding should take place soon. Preparations are underway..."

As for the other questions, Annabeth chose e to avoid them. This was

Ser.

e she really didn't knowal.ne

However, the viewers wouldn't let her off the hook-

Chapter 1650

"Do you feel very excited to fall asleep with such a handsome guy next to you every night?"

"Between you and Josh, who liked whom first?"

"Annabeth, be good to Josh, or I'll kill you..."

"I don't find it hard to fall asleep, but I do get excited. Don't worry. I'll treat him right, and I'll do my best as his wife. Thank you for worrying about Josh," Annabeth Cates said.

In the live stream channel-

"Sob-sob... She's so gentle. I'm a fan now."

"I don't hate her anymore. She's such a gentle person."

"I'll stop hating you too. You're really nice..."

When Annabeth saw those people changing their minds, she couldn't help but smile a little.

"Thank you, everyone. I'll do my best..." Annabeth said.

Josh Batton was very efficient at making and cooking dumplings.

The entire process took less than an hour.

An hour later, the piping hot dumplings were ready...

Josh slowly sprinkled some coriander into the pot before scooping some of the dumplings out.

Many people on the live stream channel requested to see the dumplings.

Annabeth obediently picked the phone up and brought it close to Josh. She then turned the camera around to point it at the steaming pot.

The dumplings Josh made had thin crusts and large fillings.

There were also eggs, seaweed, onion, and coriander in the soup. At one glance, it looked wholesome and delicious.

People on the live stream channel were as stunned as Annabeth.

seeing Josh's handsome face. Fine, as long as you're happy."

"I can't stay away from Josh. Nobody else could compare to him."

Seeing how the comments were becoming positive, Annabeth felt much better.

Due to her improved mood, she began to feel more energetic.

After evenly filling two bowls with dumplings, Josh placed them on an intricate rosewood tray before carrying it to the dining room nearby... Josh then started setting up the table with dining utensils. He seemed like the perfect househusband.

Everything could be seen through the camera.

Viewers were saying even more positive things.

Many random netizens also became Josh's fans after seeing how down-to-earth he was.

During the meal, Annabeth placed the phone on the dining table. To ensure they would both appear on screen, she chose to sit next to Josh.

The camera was able to capture the two of them perfectly...

"Quick, have a taste... Is it good?" Josh scooped up a dumpling with his spoon and blew at it before bringing it close to Annabeth's mouth.

Annabeth ate it and nodded as she savored the taste.

Having soaked in the soup for a bit, the dumpling tasted unusually excellent. Saying it was delicious would be an understatement.

Annabeth excitedly raised her thumb as she repeatedly nodded. "It tastes amazing. I like it..."

Josh smiled. He subconsciously ruffled her hair. "Okay... I'll make this for you more frequently in the future," he said.

"That's too much trouble... It's fine. You're already busy enough," Annabeth said.

"No matter how busy I get, I'd still make time for you," Josh said.

Annabeth suddenly blushed without realizing it...

"Since you're with me now, it's my responsibility to take care of you. As long as you're willing, I can make dumplings for you for the rest of my life..." Josh said.*
