I wish it were you Chapter 14 First Kiss
"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
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-17I wish it were you Chapter 19 It Feels Warm
Annabelle hurriedly turned around, turned off the light, and went to bed in a huff.As soon as she lay down, she caught a whiff of ocean from his pillow.She snuggled under his blanket, enveloped in his scent...As if Kendrick was holding her in his arms, Annabelle started to feel her face burning.Annabelle wanted to ask Kendrick to switch pillows and blankets, but she heard Kendrick snoring rhythmically. To her surprise, he was already out like a light.Annabelle had to lay back down and tried her best to fall asleep.Kendrick wasn't asleep. He just couldn't get enough of the fragrance on Annabelle's blanket and was afraid that Annabelle wanted it back.Meanwhile, the thought of his blanket covering Annabelle's body made him very happy.Annabelle tossed and turned on the bed. Kendrick curled on the floor and dozed off till midnight.After a few roars of thunder, the rain poured down. The gale, mixed with rain, blew into the room.Annabelle was awakened by the thunder. When she got u

Annabelle was embarrassed, her face flushed red.She didn't know she had a habit of sleep-talking.Annabelle took a deep breath and explained seriously, "I felt cold.""It's OK. I don't mind."Kendrick smiled and sat up. Then he got out of bed calmly.After Kendrick disappeared into the bathroom, Annabelle buried her head under the blanket.In her dream, she did take the initiative to hug the white fox. She also rubbed herself against it...When Annabelle thought she mistook Kendrick as the white fox last night, she felt very uncomfortable.Annabelle had an extremely awkward breakfast with Kendrick.Not until Kendrick went to the company did Annabelle remember to go to Springvale Temple.Before she headed out, she left Kendrick a note: "I went to Springvale Temple. I'll be back tonight."It was rare for Kendrick not to work overtime nor to have dinner parties, so he reached home at 5 p.m.He found the note as soon as he entered the house."Springvale Temple? Why didn't she tell me in

Annabelle wore a pair of blue wide-leg jeans and a white casual shirt with a high ponytail tied up behind her head. It was pleasant to the eyes.She didn't wear a mask or a veil. Marvin thought her eyes were exceptionally bewitching.Marvin came here to pay tribute to her mother. He was reluctant at first, but after he met the woman he yearned for, his mood was immediately lifted.Marvin walked toward Annabelle in big strides.He said, "Should we reintroduce ourselves?"That day, Marvin ran into Annabelle by the lake and flirted with her on purpose. Later, he found out that she was the fiancée that he abandoned in front of everyone.Marvin felt humiliated and regretted it.Thus, he made up his mind to win her back.Annabelle frowned. "I don't think it's necessary."Marvin was upset when he realized that Annabelle didn't care for it."You recognized me, but you pretended to be a stranger. Was it to get back at me?""I didn't pretend. You just didn't recognize me."Annabelle wanted to w

I wish it were you Chapter 840 Better Safe Than Sorry
Scott had already made his selection. He picked up two boxes, placed them into the shopping cart, and then walked toward her.Julissa's lips twitched slightly.Hadn't Mr. Nichols just said at home that there was no rush, that it was fine to take things slow? So why was he now picking out condoms… and taking two boxes at that?Her heart started racing again as her mind wandered to certain unspeakable thoughts. She quickly shook her head, trying to clear away the chaotic images.Scott was already standing in front of her, his expression as calm as ever. He even took the items she had just picked out from her hands and placed them into the cart.“Are we about done with the shopping?”Julissa nodded and silently followed him for a couple of steps before hesitating. She reached out and stopped the shopping cart, causing them both to halt in place.“What is it?” Scott asked.“This… isn’t really necessary, is it?”Her palms were sweating. She pinched the box lightly between her fingers, as i
I wish it were you Chapter 839 Already Thought About How Many Kids We'd Have
Being held so tightly by him, Julissa felt flustered. She mumbled, “How can you just say ‘not going hungry’? That’s just the basic survival standard! We need to eat well…”"We," Scott repeated her words, a teasing smile playing at the corners of his lips as he leaned in closer. “So, you’ve thought about living with me?”Julissa blinked at the man so close to her.Inside her mind, a voice was screaming.His voice, his gaze, that dangerously handsome face—it was all shaking her already weak resolve.She wanted to tell him: Not only have I thought about living with you, I’ve even thought about how many kids we’d have…Beep—The fridge let out a loud warning sound, alerting them that the door had been open for too long.The noise snapped Julissa back to her senses. She quickly slipped out of Scott’s arms, shut the fridge door, and felt her face burning.“You… go wait outside. It’ll be ready soon.” She didn’t even dare to look up at him as she spoke.Scott stepped out of the kitchen as she

Scott straightened up, and Julissa, still feeling anxious, sat up as well."Are you… mad?" she asked hesitantly.Scott glanced at her.He wasn’t angry, but he did look disappointed—heartbroken, even.That look made Julissa feel so guilty that she almost wanted to take back her words and let him continue what he was doing…She tugged at his sleeve. "Mr. Nichols, can you give me a little more time?"Scott gently stroked her cheek, his gaze filled with tenderness."Maybe you still don’t believe we’ll last, but that’s okay. I’ll slowly make you believe."His words stunned Julissa for a few seconds.Then, she opened her arms, wrapped them around his neck, and threw herself into his embrace.There was nothing more touching than the promise of a future together.And nothing more considerate than the phrase take your time.Scott’s hand stroked her back, and Julissa felt an overwhelming sense of comfort and security in his arms.He smelled fresh and clean, and right now, he was her boyfriend—s
I wish it were you Chapter 837 Don’t Want It?
Although Julissa's mother liked Scott as a person, she still found it hard to believe that such a high-status man would genuinely date Julissa.It felt unrealistic and unstable.Their family wasn’t rich or powerful, and they weren’t the kind of people who would eagerly throw their daughter at a wealthy man just because of his status.In fact, the better Scott’s conditions seemed, the more cautious they became.On this, both Father and Julissa's mother were in full agreement: their precious daughter must be given to someone who sincerely cherished her—someone truly outstanding and driven.Money and status were just illusions. Scott needed further observation.Even though Julissa's mother wasn’t particularly old-fashioned, she still worried that her daughter might suffer losses in certain aspects, which was why she kept reminding her.Hearing this, Julissa immediately covered her face.“Mom! What are you even thinking…? We haven’t! And we won’t do that kind of thing!”Julissa's mother s
I wish it were you Chapter 836 Mr. Gregory Needs Some Self-Discipline
Over the years, Kendrick had grown accustomed to living under constant threats. Apart from Ryan, many others wanted him dead.If he lived in fear every day, he wouldn’t have needed an assassin to kill him—he would have scared himself to death long ago.“Go handle your work.”“Yes, Boss.”After Jax left, Kendrick fell into deep thought.It made sense that Ryan would try to assassinate him to fight for Anna.But what puzzled him the most was that Ryan had started planning these assassinations before Anna married him.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out what grudge existed between them that made Ryan so determined to eliminate him.This mystery had been bothering him for a long time. And solving it might be the key to ending their deadly feud.—Meanwhile, Annabelle was enduring the “devil training” of Teacher Maria.It was tough and painful, but she never once considered giving up.No matter how much it hurt, as long as she wasn’t dead, she would keep training. No room f
I wish it were you Chapter 835 Be Careful Not to Overdo It
Annabelle shot Kendrick a glare.Not only had he just implied that Marvin was idle and carefree, but he had also mocked him for being single.Mr. Gregory, that was too harsh.Marvin, however, merely smiled. “Since my dear brother needs it so much, you should have it. Just be careful not to overdo it—too much of a good thing can be harmful.”With that, he released his chopsticks.Annabelle sighed inwardly.Seems like this one isn’t exactly kind-hearted either.Feeling the need to clear things up, she decided to speak on Kendrick’s behalf.She didn’t want people thinking she was like those imperial concubines who supposedly drained their emperors with excessive indulgence.Besides, Kendrick was not weak…She said earnestly, “I only made this for him because he’s been working so hard lately. I can’t help him with anything else, but at least I can take care of his nutrition. Don’t worry—his health is just fine.”Kendrick smiled and picked up the sea cucumber, chewing it slowly.Good, he t
I wish it were you Chapter 834 Strengthening the Body
Marvin took a bite of the food and remarked, “Anna, your cooking is really good.” Annabelle smiled. “I’m actually not very skilled at cooking.” “It’s already very impressive,” Marvin praised sincerely. She glanced at Kendrick and noticed that the sly fox was still smiling, though it was obvious that he was extremely displeased. Well, whose fault is that? You were the one who started talking unnecessarily, Annabelle thought, feeling no sympathy for him. The meal continued in silence. Though everything seemed peaceful, Annabelle felt a little awkward. Looking at Marvin—her ex-fiancé. Then at Kendrick—her current husband. And these two just happened to be brothers. It wasn’t just outsiders who would find their situation intriguing; even those involved couldn’t help but marvel at fate’s sense of humor. Despite their hidden agendas, the two men were sitting down for a meal together. She really didn’t understand the way men’s minds worked. Instead of dwelling on it, she focused
I wish it were you Chapter 833 Eating Together
When their eyes met, both Annabelle and Marvin were momentarily stunned.Marvin then stepped closer and glanced at the lunch bag in her hand. “Bringing food for Kendrick?”Since their last meeting in the Maldives, they hadn’t seen each other again.Marvin had heard that she had left for a while and later returned.He had wanted to check in on her but was afraid of bothering her, leaving him conflicted for days.Now, having run into her by chance, his heart felt a small surge of joy.Annabelle smiled at him and nodded. “Are you working from here today?”“Mm.”Marvin stared at her, lost in thought.He liked the way she spoke to him so calmly, but at the same time, he felt a hint of sadness.Is it because she neither dislikes nor likes me that she can greet me so indifferently?He even suspected that she spoke to the company’s security guards with the same level of warmth.Suppressing the tinge of disappointment in his heart, Marvin said, “I need to see him too. Let’s go up together.”Wi
I wish it were you Chapter 832 Unable to Get Out of Bed
The three senior executives—all men—exchanged glances upon hearing the woman's cry from the president’s private lounge.A woman's voice… coming from the president’s resting area!Who else could it be? It must be the little wife their president cherished so dearly.“Give me a moment,” Kendrick said as he stood up.The three executives immediately responded, “Of course, President, take your time. We’re in no hurry.”As Kendrick entered the lounge, the three men outside kept their expressions neutral, but their ears were perked up, listening intently.Inside, Kendrick asked, “What’s wrong?”A pitiful voice replied, “My legs hurt even more now…”He continued, “Can you get out of bed?”The little woman whined, “Not really… I need a moment…”Outside, the three men exchanged looks—one shaking his head, another stifling a laugh, and the third feeling oddly sentimental.President, you’re too much… You’ve completely worn her out to the point she can’t even get out of bed!Must be nice to have t
