Josh Batton enjoyed days like this.
Somebody to miss him when he was out, and somebody to wait for him to go home.
Whenever he returned home, the lights would always be left on for him.
“All right. Can you also get me a cup of milk tea?” Annabeth Cates asked.
“Silly girl, you’re pregnant. You’re not supposed to drink milk tea sold outside. You know this," he chided gently. "I'll prepare some for you when I get home if you really want some, okay?”
His tone was tender, it sounded like he was speaking to a child.
Sherry instantly felt envious of his wife as she eavesdropped.
Annabeth was married to the best celebrity in her heart, while also being the apple of his eye.
“All right, but you don’t have to come home so early. I will be staying up to watch tv, anyway,” Annabeth said.
“I’ll be back early, okay? Be a good girl, and call me if anything comes up. Don’t do any chores at home. Leave it all to me, understand?” he asked. “Okay, I’m hanging up. Bye.”
He reluctantly put his phone away after his wife finally hung up the phone, noticing Sherry standing in the corner then.
“Hey there,' he waved at her. "Are you here to deliver some drinks?”
At that moment, Sherry felt as if she would soon suffocate at the sight of his handsome features. She stepped forward hastily.
“Yeah, yes… Umm…” she began to stammer.
Josh stepped in and took the bottle of alcohol from her. “I’ll bring it inside. You can get back to work.”
