Chapter 145 My shoulders were so sore
Last Updated:
2025-01-08 18:04:36Kendrick knew that beneath this thin layer of silk was Annabelle's soft and graceful body.
He was a man, not a saint, and he would also have impure thoughts, especially when she lay there defenselessly in front of him, sound asleep.
But usually she was as cautious around him as she would be around a thief, yet now he was suddenly sitting by the bed and she could still fall asleep.
Did she trust him too much?
Or perhaps, in Annabelle's heart, she had already accepted him long ago?
Kendrick slightly bent down, his palm caressing her cheek, and whispered, "Anna, if you don't get up soon, I'll wake you up in a different way. Want to give it a try?"
The little woman sniffed and turned her back.
Kendrick lowered his head and kissed her on the back of her neck.
Annabelle suddenly opened her eyes, wrapped in a blanket and sat up, belatedly exclaiming, "Kendrick, how did you get in!"
"...This is my house, which room do you think

Annabelle hesitated, feeling a bit guilty inside, but she didn't want to go along with him."You could just move around by yourself."Kendrick sighed and didn't force her. He tried to move his shoulders, but as soon as he turned, he gasped in cold air."What's wrong?" Annabelle frowned as she looked at him."It seems like a cramp, Dr. Sanchez. Do you have any solutions?"Kendrick called Dr. Sanchez repeatedly, just to ensure that Annabelle wouldn't feel burdened and could simply treat him as a patient.Then he could enjoy his wife's massage.Annabelle sighed in frustration, but eventually gave in.So he stood up, stood behind him, and began to massage his shoulders and back.As Annabelle's small hand came up, Kendrick felt completely relaxed and couldn't help but close his eyes, fully enjoying the massage.Although her hands were soft, they were not weak in strength. When she squeezed his trapezius muscle, Kendric

Since he didn't say anything, Annabelle decided not to ask anymore.Anyway, since I had already come, I decided to treat it as a trip regardless of what he was going to do.After Kendrick saw her fascination with everything, he asked, "Shall I take you for a walk?""Okay."Annabelle had enough sleep on the plane and wasn't in a hurry to go back to the hotel. She wanted to go shopping.This was her first time coming to a foreign country, while it was exciting, she also felt very insecure.Especially when the locals stared at the two of them, she felt even more uncomfortable.In fact, people were just admiring their beautiful Eastern looks.Kendrick then grabbed her hand and deliberately scared her, saying, "Hold on to me, or else we won't be able to go back home if we get lost."Annabelle really tightly held onto his big hand.Kendrick's lips curved slightly, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being relied upon.

This time, Kendrick didn't get angry, instead, he couldn't help but laugh.When Yolanda mistook her for Ariana just now, Kendrick noticed that she was unhappy.Did he care about his performance?After the two of them left, Yolanda was left confused.If Kendrick's wife was Ms. Sanchez, what was Ariana?Ariana was introduced by Kendrick. At that time, Kendrick did not explicitly say that they were lovers or in a romantic relationship. However, Yolanda, assuming one-sidedly, thought that Ariana was his girlfriend because Kendrick rarely had female friends.Later on, while communicating with Ariana online, Yolanda asked Ariana more than once about when she and Kendrick would get married.Recalling Ariana's reaction, it was indeed subtle. Although she never admitted to their relationship, she also never denied it, which made Yolanda even more certain that they were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.Now that I think about it, I

Kendrick drove and brought Annabelle to the hotel, where they checked in.When checking in, Annabelle noticed that he had only registered for one suite, so he frowned and glanced at Kendrick."In a foreign land, do you want to sleep alone?"Annabelle pursed her lips and didn't raise any objections, she really didn't want to.Just because we live in the same room doesn't mean we have to share a bed. There will always be a sofa in the room, so she can just make do with the sofa for one night if necessary.However, when the two of them arrived in the room, Annabelle was dumbfounded.The only place to sleep was a clean and soft double bed in the inner room, which enticed people to lie on it. There was no two-seater sofa at all."Come on, we've slept together before, it's not like it's a big deal," Kendrick said calmly.Annabelle thought to herself, "How can I not be nervous? Who knows what tricks this old fox has up his sleeve."And it seemed

Annabelle was speechless, but she also knew that Kendrick could say and do it.She didn't ask for another room, instead she coldly packed her backpack in silence.Kendrick, however, began to undress."What were you doing?""Take a shower and go to bed.""Weren't you just sleeping on the plane?""Three hours is not enough, I didn't sleep all night last night."The words were not finished, and Mr. Gregory had already taken off his shirt, revealing his well-defined abs. Annabelle blinked quickly and before she could look away, she noticed that he had already started taking off his trousers...Hooligan!Annabelle's face turned red, and she turned around and went back into the inner room of the suite, out of sight, out of mind.However, the sound of him taking off his clothes behind him was even more intriguing.Annabelle couldn't help but close her eyes and let out a sigh.After a while, the person behind her didn't make any so

Afterwards, Kendrick indeed kept his promise and did not bother her anymore. He took a shower and went to bed.Annabelle insisted on not lying with him, so she curled up on the single sofa and started reading magazines. However, after a while, she unknowingly fell asleep.When she woke up again, she realized that she had ended up on the bed, while Kendrick was working at the desk.Without asking, it was known that after she fell asleep on the single sofa, she was carried to bed by Kendrick.I looked at the time and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.Annabelle sat up and couldn't help but ask, "You brought me to Milan, not to stay in a hotel, right?"Kendrick lifted his head, approached the bed, and said with a smile, "If it's for staying at a hotel, I will take you to a better place."He took Annabelle's wrist and led her out of the bedroom onto the balcony.The balcony was semi-enclosed, with a circle of green plants arranged on it,

Annabelle nodded and thought to herself, "I am not a child anymore."Kendrick smiled and ruffled her hair before striding away from the concert hall.After the halftime break, the second half performance is about to start again, but Kendrick has not returned yet.Annabelle couldn't help but look towards the entrance. However, in that momentary glance, a familiar figure flashed by and took a seat in the VIP card room across.Young master!She almost blurted out, just as she was about to take a closer look, the lights in the hall went out and Kendrick returned to his seat on time."What are you looking at?" Kendrick whispered.Annabelle glanced deeply at the VIP lounge over there again and shook her head."Nothing."She thought that she must have been mistaken, it couldn't be just a coincidence to meet the young master here.Kendrick looked at her absent-minded expression and couldn't help but follow her gaze to the

"Oh." Annabelle was still a bit groggy, and she went to the bathroom, squeezed toothpaste onto her electric toothbrush, and started brushing her teeth.Halfway through, I suddenly realized something belatedly.She spat out the toothpaste foam and walked out of the bathroom, asking, "Aren't we leaving yet?"If you don't leave yet, wouldn't it mean that you have to share the same bed with him for another night?On the first night, he was a gentleman. On the second night, could he still continue to be a gentleman?This was a big problem.Kendrick then said that according to the plan, he did indeed intend to return to his country today, but he was invited to a cocktail party in the evening, so he postponed his plan to return."Where were we going later?""Go buy some gifts for friends to bring back to the country. If you don't want to go, you can also rest at the hotel, it's okay."Kendrick had already prepared himself for r

I wish it were you Chapter 930 Youthful Ambition
What Gauge wanted to discuss with Kendrick was a strategic collaboration between their two companies.Since stepping into the family business, Gauge had discovered a series of issues.Although Lin Jewelry appeared to be thriving, its narrow focus on a single line of business had left it vulnerable to serious challenges.Therefore, Gauge was planning to expand the jewelry and watch business within the next five years into leather goods, fashion products, and the perfume industry.He also proposed merging the group's original real estate construction division with a subsidiary of Gregory's Group. Murphy's Group would retain only a small share—essentially, a disguised sale to Gregory's.But the reason they couldn’t call it a sale outright was because Murphy's Group had started out in the construction industry. Gauge’s father, Simon, still held an emotional attachment to that legacy and couldn’t let go entirely.After the merger of the construction branches, Gauge hoped to acquire Gregory

At first, Annabelle didn’t understand what he was up to. It wasn’t until they were back inside the house that she realized—Kendrick thought she looked a little too sexy wearing his oversized T-shirt, especially since it made it seem like she wasn’t wearing anything on the bottom. It sparked a lot of imaginative thoughts.Annabelle was both amused and exasperated. She lifted the hem of the T-shirt to show him: “I am wearing shorts! They’re just... a little short. But still totally decent!”But Mr. Gregory was persistent. In the end, Annabelle gave in and changed into her own clothes.Once they were both dressed, they returned to the courtyard.Annabelle noticed Gauge hadn’t touched the watermelon and asked why—after all, it was set aside just for him.Gauge pulled a ten-hole blues harmonica from his pocket and said, “If I eat now, I won’t be able to play.”She knew harmonica players had to keep their mouth clean before playing.Then, Gauge handed her his guitar. “Since we’re just hang
I wish it were you Chapter 928 The Sweetest Part Is in the Middle
While Kendrick was cutting the watermelon, Annabelle couldn’t take her eyes off him.How strange—why did everything this man did seem so charming to her? Even slicing a watermelon looked handsome.It was as if her brain had automatically applied a beauty filter to him.Annabelle placed a hand over her chest, trying to calm her racing heart. But the more she tried, the faster it beat. The sweet words he had just whispered, every little expression and gesture of his, were now playing back in her mind like a movie…Kendrick held out the watermelon to her with a grin. “Little fangirl, stop staring. This handsome guy is your husband—100% confirmed.”Annabelle glared at him with a flushed face. “Narcissist!”Then she lowered her head, scooping out a bite of watermelon, determined to focus on eating.Just as she was about to take a bite, she noticed Kendrick had sat down.The other half of the watermelon was still sitting on the small stone platform by the well.“Aren’t you going to eat?”“Y

Annabelle smiled softly, her eyes twinkling with a mix of amusement and affection. "Why do you always have to compare everything?" she asked, her voice gentle and teasing."I just want to know," he replied, his voice low and earnest. He reached out and tucked a strand of Anna's hair behind her ear, his touch light but intimate. "What it feels like for you to be with me."Annabelle fell into deep thought, her gaze drifting away as she considered his question. The room was quiet, filled only with the soft sounds of their breathing and the occasional rustle of the sheets beneath them. After a while, she still hadn't answered. Kendrick sighed, a hint of frustration in his voice. "Is it really that hard to answer?""Hmm... it’s hard to describe," Annabelle murmured thoughtfully, her fingers playing with the edge of the blanket. "Before, when I was with you, just seeing you would throw my heart into chaos. My pulse would race, and I could hardly catch my breath. But now…” She trailed off, h
I wish it were you Chapter 926 Soft Soft
Annabelle hadn’t slept so soundly in a long time.When she lazily opened her eyes and looked out the window, she realized it was already dark.Ever since arriving at her grandma’s house and staying in this quiet little fishing village—far away from her usual life—it felt like she had escaped to another world. Her entire being relaxed, with nothing left to worry about.Kendrick didn’t have to stress over the corporation anymore either.Their biggest daily dilemma had become: what should we eat for the next meal?If only life could always be this carefree...Annabelle slowly sat up. After sleeping for so long, her whole body felt soft and mushy. She got out of bed and wandered into the courtyard, where she saw Kendrick sitting at the small table, smoking.When he heard her, he turned around.“Awake?”Kendrick stubbed out his cigarette and patted his thigh.Annabelle walked over without hesitation or shyness and naturally sat on his lap, arms around his neck, resting softly against his s
I wish it were you Chapter 925 Uncle
Kendrick’s face darkened. “It’s better to date someone older. Look at Mr. Murphy—he’s too young, can’t even cook. How’s he supposed to take care of a girlfriend?”Annabelle raised her eyebrows and gave the sly old fox a glance. Flicking the water off her hands, she smiled and said, “But younger guys are energetic—and no generation gap!”Kendrick let out a sharp “hmph.” “You think there’s a generation gap between us?”“I didn’t say us,” Annabelle teased, eyes twinkling. “Why are you jumping to conclusions? Having a midlife crisis already, Uncle?”The little bunny was obviously up to no good with that mischievous grin.Kendrick glanced at the loquat tree in the courtyard, then squinted at the sunlight filtering through its leaves, trying hard to stay calm.After all, he was turning 31 after the New Year. Couldn’t let a little girl get under his skin, right?But midlife crisis? Really?He was in his prime. A young man!So this young Mr. Gregory looked into the reflection on the glass. He
I wish it were you Chapter 924 I’m Your Future Wife
So Annabelle thought to herself—was Mr. Gregory being a little too proactive?Kendrick asked lightly, “So, do you want to go swimming with him alone?”He deliberately emphasized the word “alone,” as if suggesting she had ulterior motives. Annabelle could only respond, “...I never said that!”“Then that’s that,” Kendrick said calmly, taking her hand and leading her into the house.After a short rest, the three of them began preparing lunch.Gauge was every bit the privileged young master—clearly someone who’d never cooked at home before. He practically didn’t know how to do anything.He was too rough when washing vegetables, to the point of mangling the leaves.Then they had him try chopping vegetables—but the young master, with his obsessive need for precision, insisted on cutting everything perfectly uniform, each slice as neat as the next. At the rate he was going, they’d probably be eating tomorrow’s lunch.Kendrick and Annabelle didn’t even bother expecting him to cook anything. T

Afterward, the three of them returned to Grandma’s house first.Gauge waited in the courtyard while Annabelle and Kendrick brought the things they bought at the market into the house. After grabbing the ingredients they needed for lunch, the three of them headed to Gauge’s place together.When they arrived in front of the white guesthouse, Kendrick couldn’t help but chuckle.That morning, he and Anna had passed by this very spot. He had been wondering at the time—the place had a fresh, elegant architectural style. But there was no signboard, so maybe it wasn’t a guesthouse after all. If it was just a private residence, then it probably belonged to someone with means.Sure enough, his guess wasn’t far off. What he didn’t expect was that this would turn out to be Gauge’s home.After stepping through the front gate, Annabelle couldn’t help but marvel.To build such a charming little courtyard on this sloped hill must’ve taken a lot of thought and care.“Come in, rest a bit. Have some wat
I wish it were you Chapter 922 Just Like Last Night
As Kendrick was lost in thought, Annabelle called out to him, “Let me help you carry a couple of those.”Just moments ago, Kendrick had taken all the shopping bags from her hands—he was carrying everything by himself now.Seeing his forehead glistening with sweat, Annabelle, who now had empty hands, felt both guilty and worried.Kendrick looked back at her, smiled, and said, “I could carry you on my back too, no problem.”“Stop messing around, give me two bags.”Seeing how serious she looked, eyebrows furrowed and all, he finally gave in and handed her two of the lightest ones.But as soon as she took them, Gauge casually took them from her without saying a word.Annabelle: “…”She felt like she’d just become the middleman in a hand-off.Kendrick glanced at Gauge. “Thanks, Mr. Murphy.”His tone and look were both laced with provocation.Even Annabelle thought he was kinda asking for a punch right then.Gauge snorted coldly, “Don’t thank me. It’s not like I’m helping you.”“Tsk, brat…”
