“Where is Ms. Cates?” the director asked when he couldn't see Annabeth Cates around.Josh Batton smiled and carefully picked up Candice Batton from the cradle. “She’s still sleeping, but it’s fine. You can start with us first. My wife just delivered not too long ago and needs her rest.” The director acknowledged with a nod.“Waah… Waah…”Candice suddenly started crying right then, making her father panic.He carefully rocked her in his arms. “What’s the matter, Honey? Hmm? Did you poop?”He placed her back on the cradle to check her diaper, making sure she wasn't soiled before he gently picked her up again. “Oh, I know. You’re hungry, aren’t you?”He handed his daughter over to Sharon Lindt before walking side to prepare a bottle of milk, using his wrist to test the temperature until he was satisfied.He returned to Sharon’s side and carried the crying baby into his arms before sitting on the white wool rug to feed her.He seemed so sure of what to do.Candice stopped crying

Josh Batton was speechless.“This is Annabeth’s favorite food lately. All six of these dumplings are reserved for her. They are not for you,” Sharon Lindt told him sternly.“I was going to get it for Annabeth. I wasn't planning on eating any,” he sighed.Only after hearing this did Sharon smile in a satisfied manner. “That’s good. I was wondering why you’d be so daft,” she replied, smiling in satisfaction upon hearing that.He remained silent and smiled awkwardly before reaching for one fried dumpling and placing it in front of Annabeth Cates, who seemed uneasy.“That’s not necessary," Annabeth spoke up. "I’m fine with eating just two. Don’t you all like it, too? You should all have some.”“We are fine. You can have it all. You’re the most important person in this family,” Wilson Batton stated, pushing the entire plate of fried dumplings over to her.The more they behaved like this, the more embarrassed she felt.Although it was only a plate of ordinary dumplings, she didn’t wa

“Hahaha! Josh looks so weak and helpless. It’s clear where he stands in the family.”“I like the Batton family’s vibe the most.”“I find Josh very patient with his daughter. He’s the best husband in the world. Annabeth seems like she doesn’t need to do anything at home.”“Is her name Candice Batton? I envy this girl the most.”“Who wouldn’t feel envious of Candice? Everyone’s favorite idol is her father, and he’s extremely wealthy too. Candice is practically the main protagonist in a fairy tale.”Netizens were already making all sorts of remarks.Josh Batton showed Annabeth Cates all these comments on his phone as they watched the nannies feed their daughter some milk in the nursery.Annabeth subconsciously smiled when she read the netizens’ comments, agreeing with everything they said.Initially, Josh and the others wouldn’t allow her to take a peek at her phone, but she was dying of curiosity and managed to plead with her husband.She ended up reading all these and more as h

Annabeth Cates leaned against Josh Batton as she wobbled on her feet, only managing to leave the hotel with his help.As they walked out of the lobby, many fans who had followed them were already waiting outside.The fans were very organized despite the huge crowd.Everyone lined up neatly in rows on both sides of the entrance.Young girls began screaming excitedly when they saw their idols coming out—“Josh! Annabeth! We love you! We hope you’ll become more and more successful.”“Josh, take good care of Annabeth. Annabeth, did you have too much to drink?”“Josh, please start focusing on your career. We’ll be with you every step of the way.”Their fans were getting more deafening as their voices melded together.Josh and Annabeth couldn’t hear them clearly, but they still acknowledged them politely.At that point, the fans became even more excited and started cheering louder.Seeing how crowded it was, Josh didn’t dare linger any longer, so he carefully held Annabeth’s hand

“Yeah, your fans really love you,” Annabeth Cates told him proudly.“Yes, I know,” Josh Batton replied, his eyes softening at the mention of his fans.“I think we should organize a free meet-and-greet with them so that everyone can chat with you. They are so supportive of, so I think you should give back something in return,” she suggested.“Okay," he answered after some consideration. "Let’s wait until the end of the year. We’ll randomly select a few fans from social media platforms to participate.”She nodded in agreement. “They would be so happy when they find out.”“Yeah, I guess so,” he chuckled, proceeding to pick up the speed.His wife instantly warned him when she noticed. “Slow down! Do you think you’re flying a plane?”“I want to get home as soon as possible. I miss our little princess,” he answered with a tender look in his eyes when he spoke about Candice Batton.Right then, he seemed even more gentle.Her gaze softened when she heard him. “Yeah, me too. But there'
