When Josh Batton saw how nonchalant Annabeth Cates seemed to be, he felt much more relaxed, too…
“Annabeth… For the stuff I mentioned about giving you, I’ve already asked someone to transfer those things to your name…” Josh said softly.
Annabeth immediately panicked when she heard this. “I told you. I don’t want anything…”
However, Josh smiled gently. “No. I insist…”
“I’ll transfer the stuff back to you later…” Annabeth said.
“The transfer fee is costly…” Josh replied.
“No matter how expensive it is, I’ll do it.” Annabeth’s expression turned increasingly serious.
Although huge houses and luxury sports cars were huge temptations to a girl like her from a mediocre household, she didn’t want to accept any of those things from Josh.
Annabeth knew that Josh wanted to compensate her, but she didn’t need it at all.
If she really accepted those things after sleeping with someone, what would she become?
A high-class prostitute?
“Stop messing around… Be good…” Josh said softly. There was an alluring quality to his voice.
His gentle and pleasant voice immediately charmed Annabeth.
However, she very quickly regained control of herself. “What do you think I am? I told you I don’t need anything…”
“What else can I think of you as? You’re a good girl. A good girl whom I’ve done wrong to…” Josh said truthfully.
“I don’t want anything, and I mean it…” Annabeth said.
“Annabeth, if you don’t want those things, I’ll come after you. I’ll be responsible for you… Do as you wish.” Josh knew how Annabeth felt, but since he had already taken advantage of her, he needed to compensate her…
“Can you quit messing around?” Annabeth asked.
“No…” Josh said.
Knowing that Josh had already made up his mind, Annabeth had no choice but to stay quiet.
