Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1938

The person calling was Sharon Lindt.

When Josh Batton saw his mother calling, he quickly picked up the phone. “Mom must be checking up on us, wanting to know if I’m taking good care of you.”

After that, he answered the call, and soon, they could hear his mother's voice.

“Annabeth said you’d be at home today. Are you taking good care of her?”

Hearing this, he immediately put the call on the loudspeaker as he wanted his wife to hear, too.

Meanwhile, Annabeth Cates could hear everything.

These days, she found Sharon’s voice even more endearing than her own mother’s. Her calls had come more frequently ever since she became pregnant.

Sometimes, her mother-in-law cared more about her than her own mother.

Josh naturally wrapped his arm around Annabeth’s shoulders. “Of course. You can ask Annabeth if you don’t believe me.”

“Is she next to you?” Sharon asked.

“Yes.”

“Hi, Mom. I’m here,” Annabeth spoke up.

“Honey, is he taking good care of you? Is he doing everything you ask?”

“Yes, he is. Don’t worry, Mom. Don’t you know how Josh is?” Annabeth said truthfully.

“That’s great, that’s great. Annabeth, if there’s anything you want to eat, just tell him directly. Don’t worry about troubling him. He’s your husband, after all. He’s supposed to do everything for you,” Sharon added.

Hearing that, Josh glanced helplessly at a nearby camera then returned his gaze at his phone. “Mom, I have a question for you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Am I your biological son, or was I adopted?” Josh asked.

“You little brat! What are you saying? Why wouldn’t you be my biological son?” Sharon asked.
