I wish it were you Chapter 11 Noon Exercise
Marvin was at the Grand Hotel.He was having a nice meal with his friends.When chatting, he checked his phone and happened to see Raphael's post an hour ago.He thought, "Annabelle? The bumpkin I dumped?"Due to curiosity, he clicked on the photo.Although there was only her side face in the photo, he could tell that she was indeed beautiful. She was the kind of beauty that could wear one down bit by bit, and she was different from any woman he had ever met.In short, she was as quiet and peaceful as a brook in a mountain.He suddenly realized something. She was the girl he fell in love with at first glance that day.He thought, "Seriously? The one that I'm so attracted to is Annabelle, the one I dumped?"I hit on her that day. Now that I think about it, I feel so embarrassed."I bet she is mocking me deep down."The point is, the one I have a crush on becomes my sister-in-law in an instant."And I'm the one who leads to this result."I feel terrible.""I have no appetite anymore. I'

That afternoon, Kendrick took Annabelle home and then went to work as usual.Annabelle spent the entire afternoon making ointment for him. When she had all the ointment separated and packed, she was so exhausted that she fell asleep on the sofa.In a daze, she felt strong arms wrap around her.When she opened her eyes, she saw Kendrick holding her and placing her gently on the soft bed."You're awake?"His voice was husky, he smelled of alcohol, and his tie was slightly pulled open, making him look kind of lazy and sexy.Annabelle recognized at once that it wasn't her room.She sat up quickly and moved back, her back against the head of the bed."What do you want to do?"Seeing her pale, wary face, Kendrick narrowed his eyes and thought that she was so ungrateful.A few minutes earlier, he saw that she was asleep on the sofa like a poor kitten, so he carried her into the room to rest.Her door was closed, whereas his room door was open. He couldn't open the door with her in his arms,

Kendrick turned the tap on full blast and took a shower for half an hour before barely managing to cool himself down.Before he came out of the bathroom, he texted Trey."Trey, come stay with me for a few days. Come here now. If Mrs. Gregory asks you, tell her that Grandpa didn't believe that she and I were really married, so he asked you to supervise us to have babies."Trey was stunned. He thought, "Is Mr. Gregory saying that Mrs. Gregory doesn't want to bear his kids?"Kendrick grew up around Trey, and they were like a family. Therefore, Trey knew Kendrick well.While analyzing, Trey realized something serious. He wondered whether Kendrick had slept with Annabelle or not."Mr. Gregory, if I may ask, do you and Ms. Sanchez sleep in separate rooms?"Kendrick was speechless, figuring that Trey was so smart."Why do you think I want you to be here? Remember, come here quietly and take the guest bedroom on the first floor. Do not make a sound.""I see, Mr. Gregory."Trey looked serious

"Don't go out just yet." Kendrick's lustful eyes were mixed with a bit of embarrassment.Trey hadn't arrived yet, so he didn't dare to let Annabelle out. If she found out he was lying, it would be too embarrassing for him."If you want to be treated, go to the living room," Annabelle said coldly.Yet he refused to move aside. Annabelle didn't want to push him, as she wanted no physical contact with him, and she blushed due to anger."Move!"Kendrick was kind of upset at the moment.He knew he had just lost his cool, but he was also upset that Annabelle was so angry.The most important thing for him now was to come up with an excuse to stop her from walking outside the room."Don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you again. It's just that Trey doesn't know about my illness, and if he sees you applying ointment to me, he'll ask me, and I don't know how to explain it to him."Frowning, Annabelle looked at him, wondering if he was telling the truth.Seeing her hesitation, Kendrick said

The next morning, Annabelle woke up naturally.She comfortably turned over but then froze."Eh? Why am I in bed?" she wondered.Annabelle sat up nervously and looked down at her clothes. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that her clothes were intact.This was her first time sleeping in the same room as a man, but she could sleep soundly. How careless she was.Annabelle looked up at the sofa and saw Kendrick lying there.It turned out that he had changed places with Annabelle.Kendrick was tall, looking very uncomfortable on the two-seater sofa.Annabelle couldn't help but feel a bit sorry, but at the same time, she felt warm. For now, she forgot that Kendrick kissed and hugged her last night.Just then, Kendrick opened his eyes and looked at Annabelle.Annabelle was like an elementary school student who was caught in the act. Flustered, she said stiffly, "Good morning."Kendrick sat up with a smile and asked, "Did you have a good sleep last night?"Annabelle nodded. Of cour

"Yes," Trey smiled. "Mr. Ethan Gregory asked me to take good care of you and Mr. Gregory these days. He won't feel at ease if others come."Annabelle's heart sank. Trey would come all this time...So, she would need to continue sleeping in the cunning Kendrick's room during this period.Annabelle seriously said to Trey, "It's not convenient for you to come and go between two places. We can take care of ourselves. Don't worry.""Not at all," Trey smiled and waved his hand. "I often came to take care of Mr. Gregory before. Please don't overthink it. I have to go now. I'll talk to you later."He left after finishing his words.More words would lead to more mistakes, so it was better to leave now.Annabelle frowned and sat on the dining chair, worried. What should she do?Where should she sleep at night? She couldn't let Kendrick sleep on the sofa all the time.But that was not important. The point was Kendrick had a strong desire for sex. Annabelle felt like a rabbit being brought to a t

Back when Annabelle was humiliated in front of everyone at the engagement party, she wasn't sad, but now, after she was spooked by the little flame, she became like this.It was obvious that she was deeply traumatized by that fire.Kendrick felt sorry for what she had been through and blamed himself for his carelessness."I'm so careless," Kendrick wiped her tears and said. "I won't let you cook again.""I'm fine..."Annabelle composed herself, trying to break free from Kendrick's embrace. Then in the next second, Kendrick held her up and trundled toward the living room."Put me down...""Your legs went limp. Are you sure you can walk?" Kendrick joked.He put Annabelle down on the couch and turned on the TV for her."Wait here. I'll cook. I'll call you when the breakfast is ready. Be good."Kendrick rubbed her head.Annabelle smoothed down her messy hair and watched Kendrick striding into the kitchen.Turning on the stove, Kendrick started making breakfast skillfully.Annabelle stared

Kendrick's face darkened.Kendrick knew about Fabian. Fabian made his first public appearance as a model at the age of 20 and rose to fame.Later, Fabian displayed his extraordinary talent in designing and then established his own brand. At 26, he became a household name, but he was knee-deep in scandals.It turned out Annabelle was into this type of man.As far as Kendrick was concerned, Fabian and Marvin were two peas in a pod."Breakfast is ready," Kendrick said unhappily."OK..."Annabelle grunted, her eyes glued to the TV.When Kendrick noticed Annabelle couldn't move her eyes off Fabian, he felt even more displeased."Do I need to carry you?"Kendrick sat beside Annabelle, slipping his arm around Annabelle's shoulder.Annabelle sprang out of the couch and turned off the TV."I can walk by myself."After breakfast, Kendrick went to the company in a sulk.Annabelle had no idea why Kendrick was suddenly sulking.She thought Kendrick had a bad temper.After Kendrick left, Annabelle

I wish it were you Chapter 545 How Urgent Could He Be...
Kendrick's voice had become somewhat sour, and Annabelle responded, "I don’t distrust you...""Then listen to me," he said softly, pulling her into his embrace from behind.Just moments ago, he had almost let slip the name of Ryan. He and Ryan had reached an agreement—temporarily keeping from Annabelle the fact that her Master was actually Ryan. Otherwise, Ryan might tell her about Emilia’s existence.Kendrick wasn’t ready to explain this to her yet. He was afraid she would overthink it, and he hadn’t fully handled the situation himself.Annabelle remained lost in thought, still looking troubled."What are you thinking about?" Kendrick asked."I was thinking about when I’ll get better," Annabelle sighed, feeling frustrated. Every time she thought about her weak body and the poison inside her, things she couldn’t do, it made her feel miserable.Kendrick smiled lightly. "Don’t worry. I was just about to tell you."He took out his phone, logged into the health check center, and showed he
I wish it were you Chapter 544 Stewing the Flower Buds for Soup
At that time, Kendrick must have been very angry and sad. His stepmother had been clearing out his mother’s belongings, not even sparing a few flower pots. She dared to do that, which must have been tacitly approved by Colten.Fortunately, Trey had been there for him, giving him comfort and encouragement. This was probably why Kendrick had always been so close to Trey.After a while, Kendrick smiled and gently rubbed the top of her head. “It’s alright. I’m fine.”Annabelle replied with a soft "Oh..." But she noticed his eyes were red, and she really wanted to comfort him by patting his head."Many people think the epiphyllum has bad connotations. When Lydia threw the epiphyllums away, she said that the flowers were unlucky. Even Father agreed. So why do you like them so much, Anna?"Annabelle pursed her lips and replied, "There’s no such thing as good or bad plants. What people call lucky or unlucky is just something they’ve attached to them. In fact, the phrase 'like an epiphyllum' h

Kendrick was taken aback at first, not understanding why she kissed him, but when he saw the playful glint in her eyes, he quickly figured out her thoughts. Smiling, he pinched her cheek."Anna, you’ve always cared about Ariana, haven’t you?""I don’t!" Annabelle turned her head proudly, pretending to admire the flowers.Kendrick chuckled and gently turned her back around. "Alright, whatever happens between her and Cael doesn’t concern us. We don’t need to worry about it."Kendrick understood that ever since their first meeting, when Annabelle suggested he let the grass pot Ariana gave him overgrow instead of regularly cleaning it, he had known that she was uneasy about his relationship with Ariana.Later, when they went golfing together and Ariana fainted in his arms, Annabelle had clearly been upset.Perhaps from that moment on, Annabelle had sensed something more from Ariana, a kind of hidden intention.But Kendrick hadn’t been perceptive enough to see Ariana’s affection for him, n
I wish it were you Chapter 542 The Look of a Good Brother Watching His Sister
Kendrick led Annabelle to the glass greenhouse in the back garden. He knew Trey had been cultivating various roses, and since Annabelle loved flowers, he had been meaning to take her there for a while. Tonight was the perfect opportunity.They passed through the corridor in the back yard and arrived at a small garden. The garden was filled with various winter-blooming plants along the center and walls, creating a colorful and lively atmosphere.Annabelle admired the flowers along the way, complimenting the vibrant blooms and the care taken in maintaining them.Seeing her in a relatively good mood, Kendrick figured nothing too serious had happened tonight. Otherwise, Annabelle wouldn't have had the energy to enjoy the flowers. But he was still eager to know what she wanted to tell him.The two of them walked along the path and entered the glass greenhouse.Now that they were alone, Annabelle finally took the opportunity to gossip, telling Kendrick everything she had witnessed earlier d

Inside Cael’s car.Ariana’s face was extremely sour."Cael, even if you want to flirt with women, can’t you tone it down a bit? At least don’t do it at the Gregory family’s place."Cael chuckled. "Isn’t it more exciting this way?""You’re really sick.""lol, don’t tell me you’ve never thought about anything dirty. We’re basically the same kind of people."Ariana ground her teeth in frustration and replied, "Don’t mix me with you. I’m just worried you’ll let your hormones get in the way and mess up our plan.""Don’t worry." Cael paused for a moment, then added, "And what do you mean by hormones? I’m just being direct about what I want."Ariana shot him a glare. "As long as you get the job done, you can do whatever you like.""Of course. At the engagement party, I’m the one getting humiliated and cuckolded. I’m risking my own reputation to help you; I’ll make sure it’s a success."Ariana was stirred by the thought of their plan and felt excitement bubbling inside her.She and Cael were
I wish it were you Chapter 540 No Longer Friends
The sounds of the couple’s intimacy outside were enough to make Annabelle feel so embarrassed she wished she could just disappear into thin air. What startled her even more were the words Cael had said.It turned out that he and Ariana weren’t really in a romantic relationship, and he had already been secretly involved with Charlotte earlier in the afternoon. Ariana knew about it as well. In other words, there was no need for her to warn Ariana after all.The conversation outside only grew more obscene, with Cael saying things that made Annabelle cover her ears in discomfort. "Why, God? Why must I be forced to witness two shocking incidents in a single day?"Should she go out and interrupt them now? Annabelle felt she would burst from the awkwardness. Should she just wait until they were done? That would surely drive her mad.She needed a way out. After a moment of thought, she took out her phone, cranked the volume up to maximum, and began playing a funny video.Sure enough, as soon
I wish it were you Chapter 539 The Green Glow on Ariana's Head
Cael stood up first, pulling Ariana's chair back for her and gently guiding her out of the dining room. He looked every bit the gentleman.Charlotte also got up, adjusting her skirt and lowering her head. She shot a shy glance at Cael, her lips pressed together.As Cael passed by her, he boldly reached out and pinched Charlotte’s bottom.Annabelle saw the whole thing.This man was absolutely outrageous!Though she knew there were good and bad men in the world, seeing it firsthand was an entirely different matter.Should she warn Ariana?She debated for a moment. Ariana was engaged to Cael, but she had been pining for Kendrick even after that. Cael and Ariana were both equally at fault in their relationship, so maybe she shouldn't interfere.But as she thought about it, Annabelle felt she couldn’t stay silent. Regardless of her personal grudges with Ariana or whether Ariana was truly in love with Cael, she couldn’t watch another woman marry a man like that without doing something about
I wish it were you Chapter 538 Under the Table
Annabelle chatted with her grandfather for a while about her endorsement of Lin's Jewelry. Grandpa Gregory reminded her to work hard but not to overwork herself. He also told her that, in the workplace, she would inevitably encounter all kinds of people. Even though everyone knew she was the young mistress of the Gregory family, there might still be some people plotting behind her back. If she ever faced unfair treatment, she shouldn’t be afraid to stand up for herself.His careful advice made Annabelle feel a little emotional. In her grandfather's eyes, she was still a child without much social experience. But since she was ten, she had lost her family's protection. If she hadn’t learned how to protect herself, she might not even be alive today. The current her was no longer the Annabelle who could be easily bullied."Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll take care of myself," she reassured him.Grandpa Gregory nodded in response. Just then, the head chef brought out a new dish. Grandpa invited
I wish it were you Chapter 537 Digging Her Own Grave
After hearing Annabelle’s explanation, Grandpa nodded. "Today's journalists are too fond of sensationalizing things."Annabelle smiled. "Being a journalist must come with a lot of pressure. They’re just trying to make a living. I don’t really like this kind of shameless reporting, but I can understand their position."She felt a little guilty as she said it.But with Ariana going back on her word, losing the swimming bet, and still trying to target her, Annabelle was irritated.Ariana wanted Grandpa to dislike her, right? Well, Annabelle would show her whether her little tricks would work.As expected, after Annabelle finished speaking, Lydia couldn't help but praise her: "It's rare for Annabelle to think this way!"Grandpa also agreed, smiling as he said, "Annabelle is just too kind. She should be more cautious when dealing with others."Annabelle felt pleased by the compliment but also a little guilty. She wasn’t as innocent as she made herself seem, though.Just as she was thinking
