Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2158

Seeing nobody behind them then, Josh Batton instantly closed the door.

They could still hear people screaming outside.

Soon, the sounds faded along with their footsteps until they were completely gone, making Josh and Annabeth Cates heave sighs of relief while exchanging glances.

Josh seemed exhausted as he leaned against the door, out of breath.

After putting her and the numerous shopping bags down, he peeked through the gaps in the door. “Phew, they’re finally gone.”

Annabeth was still in a state of shock. “Yeah.”

Frowning slightly, he removed his sunglasses. “I’m sorry that you can’t even shop peacefully. People always end up recognizing me,” he sighed apologetically, feeling genuinely sorry about this.

His wife had been robbed of an ordinary life by being married to him. They always lived their lives in front of the camera.

They would be photographed whenever they went out shopping or going to the movies, even merely walking on the streets.

They also had to constantly adorn disguises to avoid recognition by their fans.

They couldn’t live like normal couples to go shopping leisurely without a disguise, and always needed to be on their toes.

They’d have to run for their lives as soon as their fans discovered their identities.

Annabeth pulled her mask down, smiling and appearing to be unconcerned while she stood on tiptoes to caress his face. “I don’t mind, Honey. I’m willing to go through anything as long as I can be with you.

“Besides, I honestly don’t think there’s anything bad about this,” she added.

She truly didn’t mind these inconveniences and was willing to do anything to have Josh as her husband.

She wouldn’t mind even if she had to stay at home and never go shopping again.
