Annabelle had a moment of doubt, but she didn't really care.
Ten minutes later, a classmate who arrived even later than her entered the classroom through the back door.
And at this time, the teacher had already started the class.
The latecomer walked straight to her side and paused for a moment.
Annabelle turned her head and glanced at a boy. He was tall, wearing a black T-shirt, and had handsome features, although his eyes seemed a bit arrogant.
He didn't sit down and instead looked at her with an expression as if she had taken something from him.
Annabelle felt a bit puzzled, but she couldn't be bothered to think too much about it, so she turned her gaze back to the book in front of her.
At that moment, the teacher sternly said, "Gauge, if you dare to be late in my class again, you can forget about your final credits."
The boy did not reply and immediately placed the things on Annabelle's table, sitting on the chair next to h
In the VIP ballroom of the Imperial Hotel in Elfhedge, a grand engagement party was underway."Let's welcome the groom-to-be and the bride-to-be to have their opening dance!"The groom-to-be, Marvin Gregory, burst into laughter after hearing what the emcee said."Opening dance? You might have thought too highly of that ugly creature!"Upon hearing that, everyone turned to Annabelle Sanchez, the bride-to-be, who had just become a laughingstock.Wearing a veil, she stood quietly on the stage.People started to gossip. Some said that Annabelle, the third girl of the Sanchez family, was disfigured by a fire when she was a child, and she had been living in Springvale Temple in the mountains ever since. She never even went to college.Marvin, on the other hand, was the second eldest son of the Gregory family, handsome and influential. It was reasonable for him to disdain her.That being said, Annabelle was from a prestigious family. Everyone assumed that she was probably on the verge of she
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
Annabelle had a moment of doubt, but she didn't really care.Ten minutes later, a classmate who arrived even later than her entered the classroom through the back door.And at this time, the teacher had already started the class.The latecomer walked straight to her side and paused for a moment.Annabelle turned her head and glanced at a boy.

Kendrick thought for a moment and concluded that, considering Annabelle's personality, the money couldn't have been given to her by someone else; she must have earned it herself.Thinking of this, Mr. Gregory pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.I felt proud that my wife had independent financial capability, but I felt frustrated because I had a net worth of over billions, yet I couldn't make use of it in front of her.There was also a sense of loss, as if he didn't understand her at all.And these things, Fabian definitely knew...Upon realizing this, Kendrick sourly remarked, "So, it turns out my wife used to be a rich woman.""I can't compare with you."In the face of ridicule, Annabelle didn't hesitate to reply.Kendrick put away his phone and said, "Alright, what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine. After all, we have slept in the same bed, so I won't be polite with you anymore."Knowing that she was stubborn, e
Annabelle's mouth twitched slightly, "No."Who would have thought that such shameless words would come out of Kendrick's mouth?Those rumors about him being silent, aloof, elegant, and gentlemanly are definitely false!This person is clearly a hypocritical scoundrel who loves to play rogue, isn't he...After dinner, it was not yet time for the class Annabelle had to attend, so Kendrick offered to give her a ride to the music school.The one I bought before, I lost it in the taxi last night. She was very regretful and needs to buy a new one.After listening to her, Kendrick asked her if the piano was very valuable and if she wanted to retrieve it, he could find a way.Of course, it was to have Mr. Frye return the piano properly. If he didn't return it, he could just wait for his misfortune.But Annabelle said that when she bought it at that time, she only bought an entry-level one, which was not expensive. She only used it for a
Annabelle suddenly sat on his lap.The two bodies were tightly pressed together, Kendrick's suit exuding a restrained sensuality, and Annabelle's face turned red."Kendrick, what are you doing again? I just got my period!"The little woman stared with round eyes, as if suddenly showing him sharp claws."Why do you always keep thinking about that? I never said I wanted anything from you," Kendrick laughed mischievously.Annabelle's face turned even redder. How did she keep thinking about that thing?"Accompany me to have breakfast, and later I will take you to school.""Got it," Annabelle said, standing up straight and leaving Kendrick's embrace.This person, just eats breakfast and eats breakfast, is it necessary to hug her every now and then!Afterwards, the two of them arrived at the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.When having breakfast, Kendrick asked Annabelle about her feeling cold in the palace.
"What?" Annabelle exclaimed, feeling embarrassed, she turned her head angrily to look at him."You have a bruise on your waist, did you hit something?"Kendrick spoke and lightly touched there with his finger.Annabelle hissed, "Ouch!"Immediately, she remembered that she had bumped into those three girls the day before in the school restroom when she had a conflict with them.Originally, when she woke up in the morning, her waist was sore and painful. It was because of this injury, coupled with the fact that she always experiences back pain during her menstrual period. That's why she mistakenly thought that Kendrick had done something to her last night.With that, Annabelle felt relieved."It's nothing, I accidentally bumped into the cabinet."She said as she put on her pajama jacket again, covering her waist injury.Kendrick looked at her face and said seriously, "Do you not know that when you lie, you keep blinking yo
The mood of President's assistant Jaime also fluctuated. An assistant who doesn't care about the happiness of the president's marriage is not a good driver. Jaime is also a person with strong principles. The previous day, he secretly cursed his boss as worse than a beast. But this morning, he learned the truth and felt extremely relieved.Originally, Mr. Frye accidentally sent the president's wife away.No wonder the president was so angry. After all, Mr. Frye made a big mistake and accidentally injured the president's wife, and the president was obviously a doting husband.Anyway, it's all good now. The two of them finally made up.On Annabelle's side, however, she was still hiding under the blanket like an ostrich.She was not actually that kind of person.She used to be a calm and capable woman who could handle any situation, but ever since she encountered Kendrick, she has reverted back to her original state and everything has been spira
Annabelle's face turned red. Well, it's indeed not appropriate to let others buy underwear for you."Isn't it time for you to change?" Kendrick's lips curled into a slight smile.Annabelle felt that if there was a crack in the ground, she would definitely crawl into it.This is really embarrassing.She darted into the bathroom and quickly changed into clean underwear, but she kept hesitating and feeling embarrassed to come out.In my mind, I wondered what mood Kendrick was in when he bought her these things...And why did he buy this pink one?Annabelle carefully thought about it, could it be because he saw that her underwear was pink?She covered her face and, after a moment, moved her hands away from her face.Silly me, I was so preoccupied with being shy that I forgot about the important matter!Why did I inexplicably find myself in his suite, with my clothes all changed?And, the strangest thing was, wh
"What are you doing?" Annabelle nervously stepped back.Kendrick couldn't help but scratch her nose. "What's there to be nervous about? Just tell me, is there anything you need to buy? I'll bring it back for you."Annabelle stared at him, pouting, and said, "I don't need it."Obviously, still angry because of his prank just now, Kendrick smiled helplessly. Usually, she seemed calm, but now it seems that she still has the heart of a little girl.As Kendrick left, only Annabelle remained. She relaxed and looked around, curious about the kind of house this guy had been living in recently.It has to be said that this presidential suite is actually equivalent to a luxurious apartment, and obviously it is specially prepared for Kendrick, because there are many exclusive decorations for him in the room, such as the painting on the wall, which is clearly his favorite abstract style.At that moment, she noticed a new photo being placed on his desk, c
Annabelle almost blurted out, temporarily forgetting about the argument with Kendrick the previous night. Normally composed, she frantically started searching for clothes, with her mind set on going out to buy medicine.Kendrick saw her with red eyes and a helpless look, as if she was truly panicked."Don't you want to have a baby with me?"He pulled her back into his arms, but Annabelle struggled like an irritable little bird wanting to break free.Having been in a coma the previous night, she was weak at the moment. In addition, Kendrick was much stronger than her, so she couldn't break free and ended up swearing."Kendrick, you... you beast!"This was the first time Kendrick had been scolded like this by someone, but instead of getting angry, he felt very refreshed.And he always felt like it was a playful banter between lovers, making him really want to be a little beastly."Anna, you are the first person who dares to insul
