Chapter 2139


    Seeing the calling from an unknown number, Josh Batton immediately terminated the call.


    "Why didn''t you answer? Was it from a pretty woman?" Annabeth Cates asked jokingly.


    Josh ruffled her hair. "There aren''t any pretty women around me for a start, let alone after I got married."


    He had never been a promiscuous man and would always keep a distance from the women around him.


    No matter how attractive they were, he''d make sure to keep a safe distance.


    After getting married, he was even more careful about this.


    Annabeth knew this very well.


    People who contacted her husband were either directors or wealthy investors. Other people rarely reached out to him.


    Although there were the asional calls from women, they mostly had a one-sided crush on him. Annabeth had no idea how they acquired his number.


    Despite the temptations of money and women in the entertainment industry, she never had to worry that her husband would sumb to those things. She couldn''t help butugh at the sight of his seriousness. He then pinched her ears. "Idiot! I was just joking. Why are you taking it so seriously?" Josh chuckled again. "I was just afraid you''d misunderstand. Anyway, that wasn''t a random stranger. It was a director who''s been begging me to act on a new project. He wants me to get involved right away, but I wouldn''t agree to that, of course.


    "But he hasn''t given up. He still hopes that I will help him," he exined.


    "Which director is that?"


    "It''s Gavin Schubert. We used to be on very good terms," he shrugged helplessly.


    She was pleasantly surprised to hear this. "What? Him? I heard he''s


    working on a new film. However, the male lead was caught doing drugs, so that''s why they needed a

    recement. Why didn''t you say yes if he wants you?

    "I remember it''s a huge project and a great story. Although the filming hasn''t begun, everybody in the industry has high hopes that it will be a hit," she added. Content

    Josh pinched his forehead helplessly at her words. "You''re still pregnant. I can''t possibly ept the role, no matter how much thepensation is. "We''ve already agreed that I must take good care of you," he added.


    "But it''s a great opportunity and


    such a waste not to take it. Besides, would you end up offending him if you reject the offer? He''s not


    someone you can afford to offend," she said thoughtfully.


    "I don''t think there''s anyone in the industry I can''t afford to offend."


    "But it''s still better to stay on good terms with someone like him," she argued.


    "I''ve offended enough people recently, so what''s one more?" he scoffed. "It doesn''t matter. You''re my top priority."


    Annabeth felt warm in her heart hearing that, knowing how much he had sacrificed for her recently.


    Many people have offered Josh different opportunities during this period, but he had turned all of them down, not hesitating at all no matter how good they were.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Sometimes, Annabeth felt very sorry when she thought about it, but he would convince her each time by saying such things.


    Knowing he had already made up his mind, she didn''t say anything further.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t be affected," he assured her.


    "But wouldn''t epting the offer propel you forward in your career?" she asked.


    "I don''t care, silly girl. I''ve thought everything through before I made this decision." With that, he pulled her into his arms.
