Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) -
Chapter 2150
After spending an hour with the girls, Josh Batton finally ushered them out.
They were very understanding and eventually left.
Once they were gone, the house became quiet instantly.
Annabeth Cates held his hand as they approached Bobby Cates and Peggy Howards, frowning while she spoke. "Dad, Mom, please don't tell anyone that we're coming home next time. Otherwise, It would be troublesome."
Her mother nodded apologetically. "I know. I didn't think the girl who lived across would spill the beans."
Annabeth shook her head helplessly. "You should've thought of that."
Peggy nodded again. "Okay, I won't do it again. I'm sorry."
Josh merely chuckled nonchalantly hearing this. "All right, it's all over now. Stop blaming Mom, Honey. She didn't know this would happen either."
"I'm just pointing it out," his wife argued. "I wasn't blaming her. I just didn't want to cause you any trouble."
She genuinely felt sorry to leave him with such a large crowd to deal with today.
Bobby, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke up. "Yeah, we're truly sorry. It won't happen again, Josh. We've caused you a lot of trouble."
"It's really fine. Don't blame yourselves," Josh insisted with a shake of his head. "Annabeth and I brought you some supplements, and my parents also sent along some gifts for you. I forgot to bring them down from the helicopter. I'll go get them right away."
With that, he stood up and prepared to head out.
Annabeth stood up too. "I'll come with you."
As they left the house together, she peered up at him. "You are not upset?"
Putting his black windbreaker on, he hugged her closer and shook his head.
course not. Do I seem like
a petty person to you?" he asked with an affectionate look in his eyes.
"I just hope it doesn't happen again, I want to spend more time with your

other people," he added.
"Yeah, I'm sure it won't happen again," she echoed.
"All right, let's not overthink it. We'll go and get the stuff, okay?"
"Ahh! Who is this? D*mn! Are you Josh Batton?"
At the bottom of the stairs, a middle-aged woman began screaming at her as she took her phone out to take pictures of him.
Annabeth didn't recognize the woman and assumed she was a new neighbor.
The couple was still hugging each other, appearing stunned. However, they awkwardly but politely nodded
at her before Josh came to his senses and reluctantly let go of his wife.
She took a step backward, scratching the back of her head.
By then, the woman had already recorded their intimate moment.
After she calmed down, she hurried over and looked lovingly at him. "You're Josh Batton, aren't you? It is you!"
"Nice to meet you," he said graciously, making her feel as if she would soon suffocate.
"I-I got to see my idol in person. You're in the building I live in. Should I buy a lottery ticket?" she exclaimed in disbelief.
Josh chuckled. "You could consider doing so."
With that, he directly headed upstairs with Annabeth, leaving the woman by herself.
Watching them leave, she felt excited, envious, and jealous.
