Everyone turned to scrutinize Josh Batton’s face, whose attention was still on Xyla Quest.
“I don’t mind accepting the role, but I’d like to wait until after my wife delivers our baby. I’ll choose the right time for it. Will that be acceptable to you guys?”
“Yeah, we understand. We’ll try not to do it too soon,” Xyla immediately answered.
“We still need a lot more time to prepare before we start shooting this film. There’s no rush. Besides, we don’t mind waiting for you,” Henry Armstrong assured him.
Josh instantly nodded. He had no qualms about it if that was the case.
Georgie Clementine, who was silently watching all this while, leaned against Henry as she gazed at Josh with a sigh. “Time does fly. You were still single when we first met. Now, you’re a married man who’s worried about his filming schedule because of his wife.”
Josh chuckled when he heard this. “Ain't that the truth? Life is full of wonder.”
Sometimes, a person’s life could change in an instant.
For example, his life changed when Annabeth Cates appeared in it. He never thought she’d become his partner for life or that she'd be able to replace Xyla in his heart when they first met.
Their love story took a natural course as time went on.
After the gathering was over, Josh drove to a bakery to buy the cake that Annabeth liked the most.
The bakery staff was still stunned by his presence by the time he'd left and driven away.
At the same time, ‘#Josh Batton at the bakery#’ occupied the number one spot on the list of hot topics, along with a picture of him leaving the bakery, taken by that staff.
There was also a comment attached to the picture. "I didn’t think a celebrity would show up this late at night to buy a cake in our bakery. I heard he bought it for Annabeth.”
