Chapter 1921 Chapter 1921 After taking the screenshot, Sophie Kenwick saw a private message from the president of Josh Batton's fan club.

"Greetings, my name is Peach, and I'm the president of Josh Batton's fan club. I wish to invite you to join our core management team. Would you like to do that?" Peach wrote. Sophie was apprehensive about joining them because she wasn't familiar with all this.

Soon, she received another message from Peach.

"Don't worry, you don't have to do much upon joining. We will only be chatting in the group and plan for upcoming events."

Sophie wasn't particularly interested in this, so she decided to turn down the offer after pondering for a while.

Then, she closed Weibo and began drinking her tea.

Meanwhile, Gary Lakes and Xyla Quest were still talking about work while finishing their meals.

However, no matter how hard those newcomers tried, they could not compete with Josh.

His popularity remained intact even after he had gotten married.

Nobody on the continent could compete with him, and Xyla was glad of this fact.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the concert officially began in a stadium filled to the brim.

Chapter 1922 Chapter 1922 All of Josh Batton's fans were wearing hairbands and holding glowing boards with his name on them, making them a sea of bright stars as far as the eye could see.

There were up to 100,000 people gathered in the huge stadium.

It was a grand sight to behold.

In the center section closest to the stage, Annabeth Cates, Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, Sophie Kenwick, Wilson Batton, Sharon Lindt, Henry Armstrong, Georgie Clementine, Rachel Wood, Sebastian Brenand, and Gary Lakes were all gathered there.

The VIP seats were the best in the venue, but they were not open to outsiders. The people who occupied these seats were bound to be at the center of attention, surrounded by admiring looks. An upbeat song began to play.

Josh, attired in a casual white ripped T-shirt, black pants with black Martin boots, soon appeared at the center of the stage on an elevated platform.

The fast tune and dancing instantly hyped up the crowd.

"Josh, I love you! I'll only love you in this lifetime."

Finally, he fixed his eyes on his family and close friends.

"Thank you for coming to my concert. Thank you, everyone, supporting me all the way. Let bring you on a wonderful journey.

"I would like to dedicate this song to my wife, Annabeth Cates."

Shortly, 'From Now On' started playing and Josh began to sing along to the music— "Searching for the sun in a windless place."

"Bringing you warmth in a cold place."

"The world is a mess, and you're too naive."

"From now on, all I want is you."

"From now on, you're everything to me."

"You deserve all the gentleness in the world."

When Annabeth saw how Josh was singing his heart out to her, she felt speechless and touched.

Suddenly, a warm sensation flowed through her chest and her eyes filled with tears.

Chapter 1923 Chapter 1923 Among the fans, some felt emotional, some were jealous, some cried, and some quietly listened.

While singing, Josh Batton slowly walked off the stage. He directly held Annabeth Cates by her hand and pulled her onto her feet.

He continued to hold her hand while he sang, gazing deeply into her eyes.

The crowd went wild.

The sound of fans screaming almost drowned out the music- "Ahh! Josh is so cool. D*mn. I'm so jealous."

"They're showing off their romance in front of us. I can't take this."

"I spent 100,000 to watch their public display of affection. Although I'm very jealous, why do I still feel so willing?"

"I'm so envious of that girl. Not only is she married to the hottest man in the country, but he even treats her like a princess."

"This looks like an idol drama scene. I'm so jealous."

Meanwhile, Xyla Quest and the others were moved by the two of them.

Everyone was smiling and wishing the two of them all the happiness in the world.

The surroundings were getting too noisy. Josh smiled a little before making a gesture for everyone to remain silent. Soon, the world quietened down.

Josh continued to serenade Annabeth Cates, making her eyes fill with tears as she couldn't conceal her excitement. After the song ended, he carefully sat her down, then returned onto the stage to resume his performance.

Meanwhile, fans gradually calmed down as the concert went on.

Annabeth was the only one still absorbed in Josh's romantic expression earlier.

Meanwhile, Annabeth had no idea she had become the talk of the town.

She couldn't tear her eyes away as she continued to watch her husband's performance. She didn't know his fans were all envious of her or that his gesture had attracted many new fans.

Josh stood on stage and thanked his fans right at the end of the concert that lasted for three hours. Annabeth could not snap herself out of the feeling of euphoria throughout his concert despite the end. She never thought an ordinary girl like her could experience such happiness.

Only after Josh had disappeared from the stage did she slowly recollect her thoughts.

Chapter 1924 Chapter 1924 After Josh Batton went off stage, his fans were still immersed in the adrenaline rush from the concert. They couldn't restrain themselves. The heat of the moment had yet to disperse.

Most of the fans sat where they were, still staring at the spot where Josh was last seen.

Their eyes held looks of excitement and love.

"Isn't Josh way too handsome?"

"I don't understand how someone could look so good."

"Stanley Batton looks very handsome in the front row, too. Their mother has excellent genes."

"That's right, everyone in Josh's family looks good. Their parents are also good-looking. I'm so envious."

"They are a good-looking family."

Xyla Quest, Sharon Lindt, and the others could hear what the fans were saying.

Xyla chuckled and turned to look at Stanley. "Josh's fans have good taste."

Meanwhile, Sharon and Wilson Batton were both beaming with pride.

Sharon coughed gently in embarrassment. She subconsciously sat upright and looked at her husband. "Honey, did you hear that? People are saying that we look good." "Erm-hmm. Yes, I heard them," Wilson said.

"Our son's fans are all so adorable. I like them," she told him.

"You like them because they offered you compliments, right?" Wilson asked.

Sharon laughed again. "Of course. Who doesn't like receiving compliments?"

When Annabeth Cates heard this, she immediately turned her attention to Sharon and Wilson while smiling from ear to ear.

Wilson and Sharon's gazes turned soft when their eyes met.

"Annabeth, Xyla, shall we head backstage to see Josh?" Sharon asked.

"Sure, I was just thinking about it," Annabeth replied with a nod.

"Sure, we can. Let's go out and celebrate the success of the concert later," Wilson said.

Seeing how happy Wilson appeared, Sharon couldn't help but feel glad she sensed that he was beginning to support Josh's career.

Her son had convinced her husband to support him with his own actions; Josh did it all himself.

Sharon was proud of him.

Right then, many fans moved closer to Xyla and the others.

When those fans saw them, they began showering them with compliments- "Nice to meet you. We are Josh's hardcore fans. We have set his t belongs Josh for many years since Josh is amazing." Content- to FindNovel.net "Josh's family members are good-looking."

"Mr. Batton and Mrs. Batton, we ov.net have a question for you. What secrets do you have to raise such good looking and excellent children?"

"Woah! Mrs. Batton, your skin is in such great condition. Josh looks so much like you."

"Mr. Batton's skin is great too. You two look so young."

"Annabeth, I hope you and Josh will always be happy together."

Chapter 1925 Chapter 1925 The fans spoke one after another, and each seemed more passionate than the previous one.

Although they had a lot to say, they were extremely nervous in the presence of Stanley Batton. They didn't even dare to look at him due to his domineering aura.

Just being in front of Stanley made them freeze in place.

He emanated a distant and unapproachable aura just by sitting there silently.

Xyla Quest and the others politely engaged with the fans with smiles on their faces. Stanley was the only one who kept an aloof expression on his face. He had one arm around Xyla while gently ruffling her hair.

He only had eyes for his wife and refused to look at anyone else.

Everybody liked receiving compliments, and Xyla, Sharon Lindt, and Wilson Batton were no exceptions.

They were in an even better mood now, especially Sharon, who could no longer hide the smile on her face.

"You are all too kind. You guys make me genuinely happy even though I don't know if you're telling the truth.

"I think Josh's fans get more adorable the longer I look at you lot," Sharon added.

"Honestly, Mrs. Batton, if Josh hadn't introduced you and Mr. Batton during the concert, I wouldn't have thought you were his mother," a young girl said thoughtfully while she looked at Sharon.

Sharon beamed even wider then.

All women liked hearing this stuff, especially compliments regarding their youthful looks.

Sharon couldn't stop smiling. "You're such a sweet-talker. That's an exaggeration, hahaha."

"Not at all, Mrs. Batton. You look like his older sister," the young girl added.

"Thank you, thank you."

Wilson also couldn't stop smiling, hearing how his wife was being praised.

Vol.ne "To be honest, I stopped being a fan when Josh announced he was marrying Annabeth Cates. However, Joshis way too good that I returned after a single day."

"Me too, me too. There's nobody better than Josh in the entire entertainment industry."

"I agree, Josh has a great personality and good looks as well as physique. There isn't anyone else who could compare in the entertainment industry."

Josh's female fans began sharing their genuine thoughts with solemn expressions on their faces.

Annabeth grinned happily when she saw how everyone supported Josh so much.

Meanwhile, Xyla, Sharon, and the others felt deeply satisfied.

"Mrs. Batton, Mr. Batton, thank you both for bringing such a wonderful person into this world. Honestly we've all been curious about you two before the big reveal."

"We were curious about the kind of family and parents such a handsome, honest, cheerf and kind-hearted man came from," another female fan said.

Sharon and Wilson were both feeling a little embarrassed by the compliments.

Wilson could hold it together, but Sharon's grin was very apparent.

Then, the female fan turned to look at Annabeth. "I also constantly wondered what kind of woman would end up being with Josh."

Chapter 1926 Chapter 1926 Right after that, the female fan continued speaking. "When I found out that the woman who won over Josh's heart was you, I wasn't ecstatic about it in the beginning, to be honest. However, after seeing you two so happy together, I decided to let it go.

"I believe there must have been something special about you that made Josh fall in love and want to protect you.

"I can tell that Josh cares about you. Annabeth, I hope you and Josh can stay happy together for the rest of your lives. Please don't ever betray him.

"Otherwise, we, his fans, won't let you off the hook. We'll make your life a living hell," she smirked, softening her threat.

When Annabeth Cates heard this, her gaze became even softer.

She nodded gently. "Okay, I know."

"Thank you for loving Josh so much," Xyla Quest interjected smoothly before proceeding to stand up and change the subject. "All right, we have to head backstage." As soon as she had finished speaking, Josh Batton's fans frantically shoved their handwritten letters into her hands, pleading with her to deliver those letters to Josh. Xyla accepted all the letters on his behalf, prompting Stanley Batton and Annabeth to help her with the letters when they saw this.

Within a short period, the three of them were each holding more than a dozen letters.

Afterwards, Xyla led everyone to the resting room backstage, where Josh was being interviewed.

He was still wearing the outfit he wore for his final performance, a loose-fitting black shirt, a pair of casual black pants, and a pair of black sneakers.

Despite being clad all in black, he still had a delicate aura about him.

Right then, sweat covered his face.

He was leaning lazily against a white leather couch, wiping his sweat away casually while being interviewed by the media.

Up to a hundred media representatives huddled around him.

As Xyla and the others entered the room, reporters immediately Ragnet unded Xyla, Stanley, Annabeth, Batton, and Sharon Lindt.

"I wonder if you guys would be fine with an interview."

"Annabeth, are you happy with Josh's performance today?"

"Please tell us how you felt when Josh suddenly approached you from the stage."

When Xyla saw them approaching, she held Stanley's hand and smiled at the reporters. "Annabeth and Josh would be happy to be interviewed. We'll be resting nearby. Thanks for all the great work!"

Xyla never liked such interviews, and she knew that her husband, mother-in-law, and the others shared her feelings. Besides, it was Josh's concert today, so they should be at the center of attention instead of his extended family.

Annabeth deserved to bask in the glory that her husband brought upon her.

The reporters didn't insist further when they heard Xyla due to the Batton family's dominating presence.

Shortly after, Xyla led Stanley and the others into a small room nearby while Josh, Annabeth, and the media were left behind.

Annabeth was not used to being surrounded by reporters despite this not being her first time.

Josh smiled and stood up. He walked through the crowd and approached Annabeth before gently extending a hand to ve Honey." FindNovel.net go,

Chapter 1927 Chapter 1927 Annabeth Cates returned Josh Batton's smile and held his hand, letting him lead her to the leather couch before sitting down.

Soon, the reporters surrounded the two of them.

"Ms. Cates, you haven't answered our question earlier. How did you feel when Josh approached you from the stage today?" The female reporter who asked earlier repeated her question. Annabeth scratched her head in an embarrassed manner, turning to Josh for help.

Right then, he cocked his head to the side and observed her, noticing that her hair was a little messy.

Josh lifted his hand to adjust her hair, then patted her gently on the head.

Every move he made was done with deep affection.

The reporters were recording what they saw with their cameras.

Annabeth gazed deeply into Josh's eyes and then turned to look at the female reporter who had asked the question. "I felt happy. I never expected him to do it."

Indeed, Annabeth hadn't expected any of this today, thinking she would only be watching Josh from below the stage.

She was greatly surprised by what happened.

She didn't know if his earlier gesture was genuine or if he intentionally did it because his fans were watching. Regardless, she still felt happy.

"Looks like Josh must be a romantic person, isn't he?" the female reporter asked.

Annabeth nodded. Indeed, Josh was very romantic.

"Yes, he frequently buys me flowers, and he would cheer me up when I'm down. He would also often take me out on romantic dinners," Annabeth added. When the female reporters heard this, they felt increasingly jealous of Annabeth.

Josh was the man of their dreams.

If it wasn't for their role as reporters, they would all be his fans.

"I'm so envious I could cry."

"Exactly. Ms. Cates must have rescued the galaxy in her past life."

The female reporters could not refrain from speaking their minds.

"Do you two experience any conflicts in your daily lives? If so, who usually offers to compromise first?" A male reporter directed his questions at Annabeth.

When Josh heard this, he wrapped his arm around Annabeth's shoulders. "There are no conflicts between us for now. We live a very happy life. However, I think I'd still be the one to compromise in the future if any conflicts were to arise.

"After all, I was brought up in a family where men would die if they didn't agree with their wives," Josh added.

The reporters couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Annabeth laughed as well.

"This is such an interesting family principle. Do you mind if I ask who established such a principle in the family?" a female reporter asked.

Josh considered for a few seconds. "It was passed down through the generations. My grandfather and father are both like that, including my older brothers too."

The female reporters felt extremely envious again.

What kind of divine family was this?

"To be honest, even without these teachings, I'd still listen to my wife. Getting married is like making a bet. Annabeth bet her whole life on me when she agreed to marry me, I can't let her lose, can I?" Josh said.

Chapter 1928 Chapter 1928 Annabeth Cates couldn't help but tear up when she heard his answer.

Although this wasn't the first time she heard it, she still felt deeply touched.

At this moment, she felt like her heart was melting.

Even if he had someone else in his heart, spending the rest of her life with Josh Batton like this wasn't too bad.

She would be content as long as he continued to treat her this way.

Although the female reporters were all jealous, they remained professional.

"Josh, it looks like you really do adore your wife," one of the female reporters commented, trying to stay composed and not sound jealous.

Josh smiled before taking another look at Annabeth. "Isn't this how we should treat our wives?"

At this point, the female reporters could barely keep themselves together.

That was the most divine thing they'd ever heard, making their hearts melt.

Who could withstand such sweetness?

There was no one among the women that could say they weren't jealous of Annabeth.

'Arghh!' they were screaming inside while maintaining their calm composure externally.

Meanwhile, the male reporters present silently reflected on themselves, suddenly feeling like they were a disgrace to the male population by not doing enough. Annabeth beamed when she heard what Josh said, feeling warm in her chest once again.

Once the interview ended, Georgie Clementine sent all the reporters away.

Josh hastily put on a black wool coat over his outfit before leaving the concert venue with his family.

They all piled into a black Rolls-Royce limousine that Stanley Batton had arranged, sitting in pairs.

It felt like a warm summer day with the heater turned on in the car.

After getting into the car, Josh lazily leaned against the soft seat, crossing one leg over the before browsing today's Weibo hot topics.

At the same time, Annabeth was also browsing through hot topics.

When Xyla saw that everyone was in the car, she turned around to look at them. "My husband and I would like to treat everyone to a meal at Seafield's Hotpot. What do you all think?"

Everyone agreed with no objections.

So, the driver began driving toward the restaurant.

When Josh and Annabeth opened Weibo's hot topics, they saw a lot of content related to Josh's concert.

Hot topic number one: '#Josh Batton displays affection Annabeth Cates during het Explosive'.

Hot topic number two: '#Xyla Quest and the Batton family show up at Josh's concert# Explosive'.

Hot topic number four: '#Josh Batton's concert look# Hot'.

Hot topic number five: '#Josh Batton's parents# Hot'.

Hot topic number six: '#Everyone in the Batton family looks good# Hot'.

With the various topics bundled together, Josh and Annabeth suddenly didn't know where to start reading.

Annabeth clicked on each of them one after another.

Chapter 1929 Chapter 1929 Every comment that appeared was from people expressing their jealousy toward Annabeth Cates.

That was especially true in hot topic number three.

Upon clicking, Annabeth could see a video, published by a major marketing account, of Josh hugging her while he spoke, "Wives are meant to be pampered."

There were over three million forwards, likes, and comments under the post.

"I would like to know how those female reporters feel. Were they so jealous they could cry?"

"Why is Annabeth so lucky? How could she end up marrying someone like Josh? Her life is practically an idol drama!"

"I used to say that anyone married to people like Josh would be very happy. Turns out to be true."

"Stop saying all this. I wish I could become Annabeth. Annabeth, why don't you publish a book titled 'How to Become A Celebrity's Girlfriend?""

"I'm out of here. I'll be crying by the wall. I'll continue to support Josh after I'm done. Xyla too."

"Josh must be the only one who hasn't lost any fans after getting married, right?"

"As a random netizen, I want to say that I have become Josh's fan. He's brave enough to show his love. That's a real man."

"Annabeth is legitimately the female protagonist of a novel."

Annabeth could sense their admiration through their comments.

Before being married to Josh Batton, she never thought an ordinary girl like her could become someone other people admired and discussed.

She thought she would marry an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. But thanks to Josh, he had allowed her to experience a different kind of wonder in life. She was able to explore the world through his eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Josh cocked his head and glanced at her phone, placing his hand tenderly over her baby bump.

His gentleness made Annabeth melt again.

She obediently put her phone in his hand. "This."

Josh briefly skimmed through the content.

"Oh, you should not spend so much time on the phone. Close your eyes and daest for a while. It's been a tiring day for you." Content belon FindNovel.net Annabeth immediately shook her head. "I'm not tired, not at all."

Usually, she would be sleepy by now, but she felt an abundance of energy e of Josh. Content by "Silly girl, are you feeling happy?" he asked.

She nodded. "Yes, thank you for doing all those things for me today."

Josh moved close to her ear. "As I should. Moreover, I meant what I said."

There was a slight look of surprise in Annabeth's eyes.

Did he mean what he said?

Did that mean he wasn't only saying it for the audience for her benefit?

Did that mean he loved her?

How could that be?

How long had they been together?

Had she already replaced Xyla in his heart?

Suddenly, Annabeth had a lot of questions on her mind.

There was a curious look in her eyes.

"What's the matter? What's that look in your eyes?" Josh asked with a smile.

Annabeth slowly gulped and her of Conscious of the r people in the car. "No, Bang!

Out of nowhere, they heard a loud collision nearby.

Chapter 1930 Chapter 1930 Everyone looked toward the direction where the sound originated.

Two taxis were involved in a rear-end collision and had come to a halt.

Once the cars had stopped, Josh Batton's fans ignored everything else and got out of their cars. They started running toward the limo and screamed- "Josh, we love you!"

"We will always support you, Josh!"

Josh couldn't help but frown when he saw that the accident happened because his fans wanted to get close to him.

"Stop the car," he told the driver.

The driver slowed and then stopped the car by the road.

Josh turned to look at Georgie Clementine. "Georgie, can you please go down and have a look?"

Georgie nodded before quickly getting out of the car to approach the group of seven.

Their faces brightened up with excitement as soon as they saw Georgie, surrounding her before they spoke all at once- "Ms. Clementine, I like Josh. Can I see him for a moment?"

"Please, we are his die-hard fans!"

"Please tell Josh I'll always support him, Ms. Clementine. My name is Shelly Moore."

These fans were the more passionate ones.

"Okay, I'll convey your messages to Josh. He thinks you should head home as it's freezing out here, and he doesn't want you guys falling sick. Josh also hopes that you won't do something dangerous like this next time." Georgie remained courteous as she addressed his fans.

"Really? Did Josh say that? He does love us!"

"Josh is such a good person. He's worried about our health."

"Ms. Clementine, tell Josh we will never do something dangerous like this again."

"If Josh doesn't want to see us, can we get his autograph?"

Georgie peered around her calmly. The traffic was already getting a little congested because of them.

She immediately shook her head. "Sorry, but that won't do. We are causing traffic congestion, so please, let's move out of the way, or it'll give Josh a bad reputation."

The fans promptly scattered when they realized the negative impact they might cause their idol.

Georgie looked at them helplessly, shaking her head before heading back to the car.

These hardcore fans gave her a headache.

Seeing that Georgie had resolved the immediate problem, Josh shifted his attention to Annabeth Cates, asking if she was all right.

Annabeth enjoyed his attention, feeling content deep inside.

***

The clock had already struck one o'clock in the morning when Josh and Annabeth returned home after the meal.

The house was bathed with lights when they entered, and they were greeted by warm air that filled the house.

It almost felt like summer indoors after a cold winter night outside.

е Josh started removing Annabeth's coat and shoes carefully as soon as they entered. It was a gesture that he practiced daily ever since they had gotten married.

Annabeth wasn't used to it at first, as she would never have dared to dream of such things, but now it felt natural.

Who was Josh?

He was the most popular male celebrity in the entertainment industry with countless admirers and a supreme being who could do no wrong in the eyes of his fans. He was the only person who could break his own records.

However, this supreme being was now down on one knee and helping her with her shoes and coat.

It was warm in the house, and she was only wearing a black, short-sleeved dress.

After tending to his wife, Josh quickly took off his coat and changed into a black, short-sleeved t-shirt. He then pulled Annabeth by her hand and sat her down with him on the couch in the living room.

Once they had settled down, he started massaging her shoulders. "You're exhausted, aren't you?" Josh asked while he did so.

Annabeth shook her head. "I'm fine. You're the one who must be tired Come on, let me massage you instead, you've already done so much for this family."

Although Josh made holding a concert look easy, the amount of effort needed was indescribable, and she knew he must have worked his butt off.

"It's okay. You don't need to do that. If my parents find out, I probably won't live to see tomorrow," he chuckled.

"I won't tell them."

"That won't do. You're pregnant, and you should be pampered. How could I have it the other way round?" Annabeth was speechless.

Her husband was a supreme being in front of other people, but he was an ordinary, loving husband at home.

He gave her massages, helped her change her clothes, did the laundry and the cooking, and all the chores around the house. Annabeth never stopped feeling grateful for her current lifestyle, as Josh did so many things his fans would never imagine him doing. "Josh, did you mean what you said in the car today?" Annabeth asked.

"What do you mean?" Josh had a puzzled look in his eyes.

"You were telling me how you felt. Did you mean everything you said? Do you love me?" she asked hesitantly.

As talented as Josh was at giving massages, she felt nervous then, when she should be utterly relaxed.

Her heart felt tense as his smile faded, replaced by a solemn expression while his hands ceased their actions.

He reached down and held her hand gently. "It's true. Whether it's on the stage or off, I meant every word I said.

"Yes, I've fallen in love with you," he added.

At first, Josh thought it would take a while to fall in love with Annabeth, but now, he had come to realize that he didn't need that much time at all. During the days he was spending with Annabeth, his heart always felt warm whenever she was around.

Eventually, he only had eyes for her.

Recently, he realized that falling in love with Annabeth had been way too easy because she was too nice. She was gentle and presentable, and he liked her for being such a kind and understanding person. He enjoyed spending all his days and nights with her.
