Chapter 1931


    The things and people Josh Batton thought he couldn''t let go of were eventually reced by Annabeth Cates'' warmth.


    As time went on, he soon forgot about his past.


    Annabeth felt very moved and was a little teary-eyed when she heard his words.


    At this moment, she felt a tremendous sense of gratitude as she never expected Josh to fall in love so quickly with an ordinary girl like her.


    Frankly, she was already mentally prepared for him to be forever in love with X because she felt contented enough that a man like Josh was willing to lower his standards and marry her.


    She was happy even though he might not have been in love with her.


    Annabeth was surprised, touched, and in great shock and disbelief. Thebination of feelings left her unsure of how to react, let alone what to say. At this moment, she was nearlypletely petrified.


    Josh couldn''t help butugh when he saw his wife in such a state. He reached out and waved his hands in front of her. "Hey, what are you thinking? Why aren''t you saying anything? Hmm?"


    It was only then that she slowly regrouped herself, gazing into his tender eyes. "No, nothing. I just find it hard to believe. Do you really mean it, Josh? Did you genuinely fall in love with an ordinary woman like me?


    "I just can''t believe it," Annabeth breathed out.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Hearing her words, he curled up his right index finger and gently flicked it against her shiny forehead. "What else, silly girl? Why would I lie to you?" he asked affectionately.


    Annabeth shook her head. Indeed, this wasn''t necessary at all because they would live peacefully together even if he didn''t say these things.


    "Ordinary?" Josh asked incredulously. "In my eyes, there is nothing ordinary about you at all. You have a warmth that other girlsck. You''re gentle and have many wonderful traits."


    “I am not as great as you describe," she blushed, scratching her head in an embarrassed manner.


    She still couldn''t believe all of this was real.


    As she thought of this, she spontaneously reached out to pinch the inner part of her thigh.


    "Ouch!" Annabeth frowned and cried out painfully.


    It hurt.


    It actually hurt.


    That meant all of this was real. It wasn''t a dream.


    Josh, the man of every woman''s dream, had fallen in love with her.


    It all happened within a month of them getting married, too.


    Annabeth never dared to hope it would happen so soon.


    Josh''s gaze became even softer after seeing how silly and naive his wife was, feeling as if his heart would melt.


    He reached out and gently ruffled her hair. "What are you doing? What if you end up hurting yourself?"


    Annabeth scratched her head in an embarrassed manner. "I just wanted to check if it hurt. We should not feel any pain in a dream, right? "It hurt. That means this is real, doesn''t it?"


    Happiness came so swiftly, Annabeth couldn''t even react in time.


    Josh lifted her onto hisp and pressed his forehead against hers. "What do you think?"


    "No, I need you to tell me. I just want to be sure," she said.


    "Annabeth, it''s true. I love you," he dered softly.


    "I love you, too, and I always will."


    Although they had already been intimate together, she remained shy from Josh''s behavior.


    Her heart was beating very fast.


    Sensing her nervousness, Josh carefully wrapped his arms around her. “Honey, from now on, we will be together forever." Annabeth nodded. "Okay."


    Her tears streamed down her face, betraying all her emotional turmoil and excitement.


    "Silly girl, why are you crying, hmm?" he asked when he looked down and saw tears on her face.


    Then, he gently kissed her tears away.


    Josh was unusually gentle tonight.


    Annabeth closed her eyes and allowed him to kiss her face softly, and then he shifted his lips to cover hers a momentter. They began kissing.


    Annabeth''s heart was beating out of tempo.


    In the heat of the moment, Josh


    abruptly stopped kissing her and et


    held her close instead. "You still haven''t answered me. Why are you crying?"


    Everything about Josh was gentle tonight.


    "I feel moved and excited. Josh, I never thought you would fall in love with someone like me within such a short amount of time," Annabeth whispered.


    "What''s wrong with you? You are great, and I like you a lot. In my eyes, you''re the best-looking woman in the world."


    "Thank you for loving me. Thank you foring into my life and allowing me to feel the warmth in this world,” she told him.


    "Thank you for filling up my days, too," Josh replied before gently kissing her on the forehead.


    Although it was a gentle peck, Annabeth felt moved by it, as if she was the luckiest person in the world tonight.


    She was very excited about their baby''s arrival.


    She looked forward to having meals together as a family throughout all four seasons.


    As long as Josh was around, even the most ordinary days would feel poetic.


    "All right, I will head upstairs to run the bathwater for you. In the meantime, I''ll check on the fansments, too. Wait for me here, and


    get you once it''s ready," Josh


    said.


    Annabeth nodded obediently.


    Since the beginning, she never mentioned how Josh had feelings for X and intended to keep this a secret until the end of time.


    If Josh never brought it up, she wouldn''t ask him about it.


    "Good girl." He gently ruffled her hair again before kissing her on the lips fiercely. He then made his way upstairs.


    Upon his departure, Annabeth was still exhrated and speechless.


    Any exhaustion she felt had vanished at the thought of Josh''s love.


    She felt like she could run a thousand meters with ease.


    After taking a deep breath, she gently patted her chest. She then opened Weibo and started writing a post.
