Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

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."
