After marriage, Kendrick was surprised to find that Annabelle was incredibly gorgeous. She, on the other hand, realized Kendrick was actually a cunning fox.

Chapter 2 Show Me Your Face
Annabelle was stunned, her brows knitting in confusion.She thought to herself, "It's easy to break off an engagement, yet things are much more complicated when it comes to a divorce. Why bother?'She pondered for a second and said, "OK. But I have a demand."Kendrick smiled helplessly and thought, 'That's rich'But still, he said, "Name it. I can't guarantee you a yes, though."He had a playful expression on his face, making him look like a cunning fox. No one could tell what was on his mind.Annabelle frowned and said righteously, "Sex is definitely off the table after we get married."She looked like a soldier trying to defend her territory. Seeing that, Kendrick couldn't help but grin."Seriously, Ms. Sanchez? You think having sex with me is a loss for you?"Annabelle felt that her cheeks were burning. She thought, 'What a narcissist! Who knows what it's gonna be like? Well, it's true that he is handsome, tall, upright, and dignified in every manner. Yet I'm no nympho, and I don't

Chapter 3 Get Used to It
Annabelle could distinctly smell the faint aroma of cedar, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol, coming from Kendrick. Combined with the dim light in the car, she felt that the atmosphere was way too erotic.She felt her face getting hotter and hotter. When she tried to push him away, he grabbed her wrist.Kendrick clutched her slender wrist as he raised the corners of his lips, looking discontented."Ms. Sanchez, we're getting married, and yet you won't even let me see your face? That's not very sincere. Don't you think so?Annabelle thought, 'It seems that I just can't get away from it. Fine, then. I'll show him what he wants. Sooner or later, he's gonna see it anyway'.She sighed silently and said, "Step back a little, please."Kendrick grinned as he let go of her wrist."What? You don't wanna scare me?"While he was teasing, she had already taken off her veil.Kendrick was stunned.He had a feeling that she wouldn't be ugly, yet he didn't expect her to be that pretty.With fine fea

Chapter 4 You're My First
Kendrick acted seriously and stroked Annabelle's hair. "All done now. Let's go."She pressed her hair which he had tousled while thinking, 'I know that he was about to rub my head. What a cunning fox! He's such an actor!'Holding that thought in mind, she walked into the lobby together with Kendrick.The marriage registration went smoothly. When it came to the wedding photo session, they came to the studio together and were seated in a chair.Kendrick naturally put his hand on Annabelle's shoulder.Annabelle frowned and glanced at his hand, and then she glared at him.Yet Kendrick didn't see any problem. "It's what couples do when taking photos.""Mr. Gregory, it sounds like you're quite experienced."Annabelle said so with a smile, and then she shoved his hand away without hesitation.Seeing the slightly angry look on her face, Kendrick found her just like a gentle kitten who suddenly flashed its claws and scratched his heart.He felt ... a bit itchy. To be more accurate, he felt a b

Chapter 5 Wait for Me
Annabelle thought about it and realized that Kendrick wasn't asking too much.She thought, 'Now that we're married, even though we're just a couple in name, still, we have to put on an act in front of others. Besides, after spending time with him this morning, I feel that he is kind of reasonable. Maybe he just likes to make jokes sometimes.'While thinking that way, she felt much more at ease."Fine. I'll live at your place."Kendrick couldn't help but smile bitterly.Deep down, he couldn't help but complain, 'Just fine? She sounds so reluctant. Come on! I am the eldest son of the Gregory family as well as the CEO of the Gregory Group. I stand out when it comes to both appearance and family background. Yet why do I feel like I'm not attractive at all to her? Is it because I'm getting old?'The same morning, Kendrick took Annabelle to his villa in the western suburb, showed her around briefly, arranged a bedroom for her, and then went to his office.After he left, Annabelle called hom

Chapter 6 Pleasure Beyond Measure
Annabelle blushed, and even her neck became reddish. She panicked so much that she didn't even know where to look. She looked away hastily."You... Get dressed.""All right. I thought I had to be naked," Kendrick said, lying through his teeth.Annabelle turned around and had her back facing him. She felt a bit helpless and said, "No. I will only apply medicine to your forehead."She thought, 'The shower only serves to improve his circulation so that the ointment will work better. When did I say it was for his whole body? Never mind. It's probably my fault. I didn't make it clear.'Five minutes later, Kendrick changed into a set of casual loungewear, which looked clean and comfortable. In a plain white T-shirt and light gray slacks, he looked more relaxed, his demeanor softer than when he was in his suit.Annabelle sized him up and admitted that he looked good."Do I look good?"Annabelle felt a bit awkward being seen through by him."Well, I guess so." She looked away coldly and glanc

Chapter 7 A Great Daughter-in-Law
The next day, Kendrick took Annabelle to the Gregory's old residence, and she officially met her in-laws as Kendrick's wife.After entering the antique mahogany door, Annabelle asked, "By the way, is Marvin here, too?"Kendrick turned to look at her. "Are you worried about running into him?"She shook her head. "I'm not worried, but it may be a bit awkward.""Relax. He's not here."In fact, Kendrick didn't want Annabelle to see Marvin, either.'I won't let you run into Marvin again,' thought Kendrick. ' It's the first time we come back to the old residence, so I definitely want no trouble. Marvin humiliated you the other day, so I won't let you two meet today. Besides, even if that happens again in the future, I won't let him off the hook. After all, you're my wife now.'Annabelle was relieved to hear that and then she started to observe the Gregory's residence.Unlike the Sanchez's residence, the Gregory's came with a traditional decoration style. There were pavilions and fountains,

Chapter 8 Prank
When Marvin saw Annabelle, standing beautifully by the lake, he became slack-jawed as if he had been hit by a bolt of thunder.He tried to describe her beauty, but his mind went blank. He simply felt that he had seen a fairy.Annabelle, on the other hand, felt helpless. She didn't want to see Marvin at all, yet she just bumped into him.She then figured that she would see him sooner or later anyway, so she decided to greet him calmly, and then she would leave.Marvin beat her to it and said, "I think... Have we met somewhere before?"Annabelle was taken aback and suddenly realized what was going on. "That's right. He hasn't seen my face yet, and he always thinks I'm just an ugly bumpkin, so he probably won't recognize me right away.""Take your time to recall. I'm leaving now."After saying so, Annabelle turned to leave. Now that Marvin didn't recognize her, she could just walk away.Things would be easier for her in such a way. After all, she didn't like Marvin anyway.However, Marvi

Chapter 9 I'm With You
Neither of them said anything along the way. Feeling bitter, Kendrick sent Annabelle home.Then he went to the office as usual, and when he came back, it was already 10:00 p.m.He went upstairs and found her asleep.Then he went to his study, poured himself half a glass of wine as usual, and turned on his phone.He was browsing casually and came across a post on Timeline.It was Marvin's post that said, "Although I don't know your name, the moment I saw you, I knew that our fate would be bonded."He attached a photo of the lake in front of the Gregory's place.Kendrick suddenly realized the reason why Annabelle was smirking.He thought, 'Annabelle and Marvin met. He didn't recognize her, so she took advantage of that and played a prank on him. She did so perhaps to get back at Marvin for being a jerk at their engagement party. Who knows? She is actually as wild as a cat with a vendetta. She has no idea that she has already attracted Marvin greatly. Marvin is very promiscuous and has n

Chapter 10 Annabelle's Guardian
Annabelle didn't get it. She thought, 'How come Mom hates it so much when she sees that I've restored my face? Am I not her daughter?'Annabelle felt disappointed, though she had long known how cruel Briley was.The reactions of Jocelyn Sanchez, the eldest daughter of the Sanchez family, and Myla Sanchez, the second eldest daughter of the Sanchez family, were within her expectations.They complimented Annabelle on her beauty and asked her why she had not taken off her veil all these years.Myla meant what she said. She was always an honest and straightforward person who was used to speaking and doing things straight.Jocelyn, on the contrary, was being a bit sarcastic. She was in fact mocking Annabelle for being pretentious.Annabelle felt uncomfortable being stared at. She explained her situation briefly."I've long restored my face. I wore the veil, only because I was used to it. That's it."She didn't want to say anything anymore, and she wanted them to stop staring at her.Kendric
