Similarly to his wife, Josh Batton also meant what he said from the bottom of his heart. He wasn’t holding back any of his genuine thoughts.
Annabeth Cates's gaze softened upon hearing his words, feeling touched as her eyes reddened without her realizing it.
The reporters shared her feelings, especially the female ones who were naturally more sentimental.
Everyone knew Josh well and believed that he’d never lie.
At that moment, they felt even more envious of his wife.
Then, some reporters shifted their attention to Sharon Lindt and Xyla Quest—
“Ms. Quest, I heard that you’ve practically been around every single day since Ms. Cates gave birth. Are you very close to her?”
“Ms. Lindt, Annabeth just gave birth to an adorable baby girl. How do you feel? I heard you’ve been taking care of her these days, haven’t you?”
Annabeth continued to smile as she handed the microphone over to her mother-in-law.
Sharon smiled and glanced at everyone. “Of course, I’m happy and excited, too. I honestly have to thank Annabeth for giving me such a beautiful granddaughter. We will all treat her better in the family.”
With that, she passed the microphone over to Xyla beside her.
Sharon didn’t like to be interviewed, so she hoped Xyla could take over.
Xyla smiled and reached for the microphone, addressing the reporters. “Yes, I’ve been with Annabeth every step of the way. Naturally, the two of us are very close. I love her, and she loves me, too.”
