Annabeth Cates wanted to allow Josh Batton to return to his dwellings of purity.
“Josh… I told you, I don’t need you to be responsible for me… Besides, I already have a boyfriend. So if you want to be responsible for me, wouldn’t that mean I’d have to abandon my boyfriend for you?” Annabeth asked.
“I’m not the kind of person who would rush into a new relationship and break off the old one. Moreover, I don’t like you… That’s why you should stop messing around… I’m begging you, alright?” Annabeth added.
Annabeth knew Josh’s temperament very well.
He would do whatever he said.
Since he said those things, that meant he had made up his mind to be responsible for her.
Annabeth had no choice but to make up such a lie to avoid giving him such great pressure.
This was the only way to relieve Josh of his burden…
Josh didn’t have feelings for Annabeth at all. So since he didn’t like her, what’s the point of forcing him to be with her?
Josh was shocked by what Annabeth said.
He’d always thought that she was single and didn’t have a boyfriend…
“Do you have a boyfriend?” Josh asked…
The feeling of guilt in his heart worsened…
If that were true, it meant Josh not only slept with a pure girl, but he also caused her to cheat on an innocent guy.
“Yeah… We’ve been friends since we were kids. We’re working hard together in this city. I just didn’t tell you about him before… I really love my boyfriend. Hence, Josh… Please don’t take up responsibility for me…” Annabeth said.
Josh didn’t say anything. Instead, he sank into his thoughts.
