Chapter 696
The elders of the Batton family managed to mostly maintain a serene and courteous front despite
their shock. They returned Emily Quest a polite nod.
Nheless, the rest of them remained indifferent toward her arrival.
The same was true for Josh Batton, who was usually friendly and humble.
Emily did not care what the others thought about her.
She only cared about her beloved idol’s reaction.
From the second she opened the door, her eyes were able to perfectly capture all the subtle
changes in Josh’s expression.
He resented her.
She clearly knew that it was because of X Quest.
Initially, she thought that Josh liked X.
Only today she had learned that Josh was one of the sons of the Batton family. He was Stanley
Batton’s sixth brother.
All the tenderness and intimacy that Josh had for X were simply because they were family.
However, even so, she was still jealous of X.
“Can I have your autographter? I’m a big fan of yours…” Emily asked nervously.
“Mypany has forbidden us from giving autographs to random fans.” Josh maintained a polite
yet distant smile.
It was rare to find such an apathetic look on Josh.
Emily had been one of his biggest fans since a long time ago, and his affability had left asting
impression on her. She could barely remember seeing such an expression on his face because it
was only shown to someone he particrly hated…
Never in life had she imagined that Josh would hate her to such an extent because of X.
Moreover, he had just turned her down in front of everyone.
“Your colleagues aren’t here. No one will know if you secretly give me your autograph…” Emily said
again.
She did not want to give up.
She had waited for her whole life to meet Josh and had dinner with him. How could she give up so
easily?
Josh smiled. “I have my principle.”
Though Emily was not resigned to his rejection, she knew that she would only put herself in a
difficult situation if she pursued the matter. Having no other choice, she shut her mouth and looked
away from him.
Little did he know, his apparent disinterest did not affect her fondness for him at all.
Emily had started to fangirl over Josh ever since his debut role in a drama.
Up until now, she still could not forget the amazement Josh had brought her in that summer.
Josh was the most stunning male lead she had ever seen.
What a dashing young man he was in that drama.
It was that one character that made her fall in love with Josh, and her love was uncontroble.
Her beloved idol had be her kryptonite from that day onward, causing her to go on a spending
spree. She would buy all the products he endorsed and all the magazines he was featured in.
Besides, she would watch all the TV series and movies with him in it.
Her adoration for him was like a scorching me. Despite Josh’s deep antipathy toward her, there
was no way she could just put out the fire in her heart.
It was all because Josh was the treasure that she once guarded with all her heart.
Nevertheless, she could not deny her idol was really hurting her at this moment.
One’s heart could be divided into many parts.
Most of her heart was given to Tom Sullivan, and she had given the remaining small part to her
beloved idol as well as the men she had one night stand with.
Her love for them was not contradictory to each other.
Although she loved Tom very much, it was impossible for her to stop fangirling over her beloved
idol, nor finding those men…
Her love for all of them was clear and distinct.
“Waiter, bring my daughter a set of cutlery…” May Conner broke the deadlock and looked at Emily.
“Emily, you haven’t had dinner, right? Let’s eat together.”
Emily nodded in response.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Sister-inw, do you want to have some red wine?” The coolness exuded by Josh had disappeared
instantaneously. His eyes only expressed sincerity as he stared at X.
Stanley glowered at him coldly before taking the bottle of red wine on the table and poured it for
X himself.
No doubt, X was the main character at this table tonight.
As for Emily, she was just a sidekick as usual.
