Chapter 1933


    "I''m guessing you aren''t fine," Annabeth Cates took a deep breath and said carefully.


    "Congrattions, you''ve got that right," Josh Batton said teasingly.


    Her body grew tense again. "Should I-?"


    "No, I can control myself," he assured her.


    "Are you sure?" she asked hesitantly.


    "Yeah.” With that, Josh tenderly pressed her head against his chest, rubbing her back gently. "Good girl. Let''s get some sleep."


    He switched the lights off them, plunging the room into darkness.


    The entire world had fallen silent.


    It was so quiet that she could hear him breathing as his warm breath blew against her neck. It made her heart rate go out of control.


    She couldn''t help but recall their intimate moments together.


    She closed her eyes and tried her best to fall asleep without uttering a word.


    Josh was doing his best to control himself because he couldn''t do anything despite having a beautiful woman in his arms.


    He began to calm down after Annabeth had fallen asleep, his facial expression gradually rxing in the dark.


    Perhaps it was due to the adrenaline rush from being on stage or taking a shower, but he could not fall asleep at all despite being tired. After a while, he carefully shifted Annabeth''s head onto a pillow before getting up to put on a white bathrobe and went to the balcony. Josh poured himself a ss of red wine before he sat by the coffee table, sipping as he gazed at the moon.


    Outside, it was snowing, but it was warm on the balcony.


    The world outside was covered in a nket of white as far as the eye could see, making everything seem pure.


    It was the coldest winter day with the highest snowfall in all the years Josh had lived in Antis.


    Although it was cold, his heart felt warm because Annabeth was with him.


    He began thinking about all the little things between them, feeling like it was all a little dramatic.


    Before she appeared in his life, Josh never thought he would fall in love with anyone else apart from X Quest, especially not his assistant. However, fate was strange sometimes.


    Some people would unexpectedly appear in one''s life and make one feel happy. And happiness oftenes knocking on the door with no warning. Josh was very thankful that Annabeth appeared in his life.


    Because of her, his days were full of joy and warmth.


    Because of her, he coulde home to a ce where he could feel thoroughly rxed and at ease.


    After an exhausting day of work in the entertainment industry, all his exhaustion would fade away as soon as he saw Annabeth.


    Josh believed he would be in love with her for the rest of his life.


    He would never leave her.


    Suddenly, he was inspired to write a song.


    Josh instantly went downstairs to the piano room. He sat in front of the piano and began writing down the melody in his mind in a notebook before he started ying it on the piano.


    It was a very gentle tune, every note conveying warmth and wonder.


    The moment the music started ying, it felt as if all troubles vanished.


    Josh sat upright in front of the elegant white piano, wearing a gentle look in his eyes.


    His long fingers danced freely on the ck and white keys.


    It was a wonderful sight.


    The soundproofing qualities of the room were incredible. Nobody could hear a thing outside with the door and windows shut tightly.


    Josh was very pleased with the tune he yed, finding absolutely nothing that needed tweaking.


    So, Josh wrote down the song''s name above the score; ''You''re My Love''.


    Josh slowly covered the piano after setting the score aside and proceeded to leave the room.


    He would work on the lyrics when he had time, but he had decided to make it the main song in his next album.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    He would give Annabeth a surprise once the song wasplete.


    Feeling a little tired by then, he headed back upstairs to find her sound asleep,pletely unaware that Josh had left her side.


    ***


    His side was empty when Annabeth

    woke up the next morning, her fingers reaching out to touch area next to her and finding itstill slightly warm.


    She nced around, spotting Josh on the phone in front of the French window out on the balcony.


    Annabeth couldn''t hear what he was saying because Josh was at a fair distance, and he spoke in hushed tones.


    The brightness of the sunlight was just right this morning.


    The soft light against his silhouette made him appear unusually delicate from behind.


    His white shirt glowed brightly under the sun.


    There wasn''t a single wrinkle on his shirt.


    Annabeth felt very happy to see him as soon as she woke up.


    Happiness was simple for her; waking up to him against a backdrop of sunlight was the definition of happiness.


    After stretching a little, Annabeth got up to walk into the bathroom to brush her teeth.


    Meanwhile, Josh was still on a call on the balcony.


    “Yeah, Georgie, I''ll have to discuss this with my wife. After all, this is not a decision I can make on my own."


    "Okay, in that case, please talk to Annabeth about it. It would be great


    if you have an answer bye??


    today," Georgie Clementine Said.


    "Okay, I''ll talk to youter," Josh said, smiling as he hung up the phone.


    As he entered the bedroom, he didn''t see Annabeth on their bed so he turned towards the bathroom. Hearing some running water, he directly walked in to find his wife brushing her teeth in front of the basin with a pink, electric toothbrush.

    She still looked adorable without makeup with white foam by the corners of her mouth.


    Josh leaned against the doorframezily and looked at her. "Georgie called earlier."


    Annabeth quickly rinsed before wiping away the foam on her mouth. "What did she say?"


    Josh slowly approached and hugged her from behind.


    "I have something to discuss with you," he whispered in her ear.
