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 soAfterwards, 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
Annabelle clearly felt that the person had walked towards her!As the figure approached, her heart pounded. When the man was only a dozen meters away from her, Annabelle suddenly looked up. In that moment, she caught the gaze of the Western man.In the brown pupils, there was darkness and cunning, as well as hidden murderous intent!The man was still approaching, although he lowered his head and did not make eye contact with Annabelle again. Despite her belief that the chances of a man attacking in public were unlikely, Annabelle, relying on an almost animalistic instinct, felt danger approaching.She disregarded everything and turned around to run, but was pulled into an embrace by an arm."Where are you going? Don't you want anything anymore?"Kendrick frowned as he looked at her, "Not feeling well?"She looks like she has seen a ghost now, with a pale face.At this moment, the man dressed in black had already arrived by thei
During this period, Lisa heard a lot about Kendrick.He cancelled important meetings and willingly acted as a driver to pick her up and drop her off at school, all for the woman who came from the mountains.This is the treatment that Lisa has always dreamed of, but it is enjoyed by a woman who didn't even finish middle school.Why?Another thing that made Lisa even more angry was that a movie in which she had been cast as the lead actress for a long time was suddenly canceled not long ago.The director's response to her was unexpectedly that her image was not pure enough and she was more suitable for playing a negative supporting role in the play.Lisa was dissatisfied and asked the director how purity was defined. She questioned where she lacked purity.The director took out a photo and said that a girl like this was the type of person they were looking for, but unfortunately, this girl had a special identity and it was not possible
The car smoothly entered the inner driveway of the estate, and Annabelle lowered the car window, looking towards the building not far away, where the lights were flickering.It was an estate with a pure Italian classical architectural style. Although it was evening, it still looked beautiful. The night breeze carried the faint sound of lively Sicilian music, drifting from a distance.It was supposed to be a pleasant thing, but for some reason, as soon as Annabelle entered the mansion, cold sweat started to seep from her palms.Kendrick noticed her silence and the tightly clenched fingers: "Nervous?"Annabelle shook her head, she had attended big events before, even though this one was abroad, she wouldn't be stage fright.This inexplicable unease in the heart only made it more mysterious.Annabelle rubbed her temples, trying to stop herself from overthinking, and changed the subject: "Is this estate owner your friend or business partner?"
Annabelle was suddenly stunned, realizing that when Tanner praised her earlier, his wife also gave him a glare."Is it true or not... Maybe I should go back..."Kendrick was really scared when he saw her, but he smiled and said, "Don't worry, he wouldn't dare."Or rather, no one here dared to easily mess with Kendrick's woman.And Tanner, no matter how misbehaved he was, never stooped to such a level of depravity."I was afraid that you would consider everyone as a good person."Annabelle wiped her sweat and said that she would just avoid this uncle in the future.She reacted again, furrowing her brow and asking, "Kendrick, do I seem foolish in your eyes?"Kendrick smiled slightly and did not deny it.She was just a little rabbit who seemed a bit sharp, but in the end, she was still a rabbit.At this moment, the two of them arrived at the banquet hall, and Annabelle had no choice but to stop chatting with him.
On Annabelle's side, she was still unaware that she had already been in danger.She had just walked out of the villa with Kendrick and arrived at the edge of the fountain pool.As the night breeze blew, weariness dissipated. She looked towards the pond, where the clear water blurred the reflection of the two people.Looking at the two of them standing together, I remembered three months ago when they were still strangers. Now, they have come to a foreign country together and are enjoying their trip, feeling even more amazed.Remembering the absurd behavior at the engagement banquet, Annabelle couldn't help but ask, "By the way, why did you want to marry me back then?"Back then, Kendrick had no feelings for her, so Annabelle was always curious about why he agreed to marry her.Kendrick fell silent for a moment and then smiled, "Curious about you."At that time, Annabelle guessed about his poisoning injury, and Kendrick was worried tha
As soon as Annabelle heard Kendrick's voice, her tightened heart relaxed a little."Kendrick, are my eyes... blind?"This was the problem she was most worried about.Kendrick's eyes darkened, then he smiled faintly and said, "No, it was washed off in time, and it will fully recover after a period of rest."His voice was deep and gentle, as his large palm lightly caressed her shoulder, soothing her emotions.But Annabelle felt uneasy, she smelled alcohol at that time, and it was very pungent. She suspected that Lisa had splashed something on her face, most likely something like industrial alcohol.And that kind of thing contained formaldehyde, which could cause blindness."Are you comforting me?""Of course not, besides, how long can I deceive you with such a thing?"Annabelle thought for a moment and realized that if she had really gone blind, she would have known soon enough. Kendrick had no reason to lie about it.
Annabelle heard footsteps coming from the hallway, and she wanted to shout for help.Lisa immediately covered her mouth and said sinisterly, "I had already placed the maintenance sign, no one will come to save you."Annabelle's heart sank, and at the same time, she felt a deep regret. Why didn't she let Kendrick come when he offered to accompany her just now?Could Kendrick detect that she was in danger in time?She couldn't see anything because her eyes were too painful, and she had almost no resistance. She only vaguely felt herself being dragged into a restroom cubicle by Lisa."I will ruin your face right now and see if you can still seduce men."Lisa gritted her teeth and finished speaking, then took out a dagger and stabbed Annabelle in the face.Annabelle immediately went to block with her hand, "You ruined me, Kendrick won't let you get away with this!""Hahaha... Since I dared to do this, I was no longer afraid of anyt
Annabelle thought Kendrick was in the same mood as her, so she handed him her phone.Kendrick flipped through and said lightly, "I don't like houses that others have lived in. Let's not consider Violet Villa anymore. Let's find another neighborhood.""No one has ever lived in it; it has been empty since it was bought.""Did you believe it just because someone said they haven't lived here before?"Annabelle pouted and couldn't continue the conversation."Do you really want to move next to Gauge's house?" Kendrick couldn't help but ask.Annabelle thought to herself, "Why does Kendrick always ask like this?""I simply liked the environment of that neighborhood.""Perhaps you liked other places as well.""Are you really not going to buy?" Annabelle frowned in frustration.Kendrick took a deep breath and looked at her in front of him. At that moment, he realized how deeply this little woman had been moved.If he
Annabelle understood the reason, but she had thin skin and couldn't bear his constant teasing."Are you really going or not?" Annabelle asked, her face turning red.Kendrick sighed helplessly and didn't tease her anymore. Afterward, the two of them went out together.Because Annabelle loved to eat fish, Kendrick took her to the best traditional restaurant in Elfhedge, the Coastal View Restaurant, where the fish fillet was very famous.Annabelle remembered that Kamila had said that Coastal View Restaurant was expensive and always fully booked. She said that if you wanted to eat there, you had to make a reservation three months in advance. She also mentioned how delicious the fish fillet was, and as she spoke, Kamila's mouth watered, imagining the day when she could indulge in a meal at Coastal View Restaurant."How long did you wait to book a seat?" Annabelle asked."I made a phone call and made a reservation.""Isn't it supposed to ta
"Hey Kendrick!"Annabelle stood up and was about to snatch her paper back, but Kendrick immediately pressed his hand on top of her head."Wait a moment, let me check."Annabelle immediately shook her head, freeing herself from his grasp.Then Kendrick took the pen from her hand, looked at the bitten pen barrel, and frowned as he rubbed it on his own clothes. "What's wrong with this, it's like being in elementary school, aren't you afraid of bacteria?"Annabelle, who was being looked down upon, felt extremely embarrassed and slightly annoyed. "What we are learning now is different from what you learned ten years ago. You probably won't understand."Kendrick glanced at her, feeling upset after being criticized, and then attacked her age."Do you think I have gotten old?"Annabelle gave a faint smile and said, "I dare not."Kendrick clicked his tongue, clearly expressing his disdain."Do you know that older men are t
Annabelle was slightly taken aback and thought that Gauge was probably just joking, so she smiled and said, "Of course, it would be great to be neighbors with you."But she was not a person who was enthusiastic about socializing, so the real reason she liked the neighborhood was because of the natural wetland ecological area where the neighborhood was located.But it's no use saying anything now, the house has already been sold, we can't just snatch it back from someone else's hands."Don't worry, I will help you find a solution.""Hmm? What method do you have?"Gauge smiled faintly and said, "Although all the houses have been sold, the occupancy rate in the community is not high. Perhaps someone wants to sell. I will ask for you and give you a reply tonight."Annabelle nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay," also thanking him for his help.Gauge looked at her dim eyes, which brightened up a little bit. His mood instantly turned better, a
The butler was taken aback. It turned out that Sir Murphy had been so enthusiastic towards Mrs. Gregory earlier because he wanted to invite her to be a spokesperson."It's probably not very appropriate. She is the young lady of the Gregory family, how could she easily show up, especially as the brand ambassador for the Murphy Group."Simon nodded silently, "But I feel like only she is suitable."After leaving the Murphy's residence, Annabelle was in a good mood.Kendrick didn't bother her, and he also didn't expect Gauge's father to be so kind and enthusiastic.Especially when leaving, she even said that she could come and visit often in the future, making her feel like she suddenly gained an additional biological family.She opened the car window, letting a gentle breeze from outside blow in. She also thought about what Kendrick had said earlier, that he would be moving over here next week. This made her feel even more excited.But t
Kendrick voluntarily put an end to the annoying "paper revision" topic that had been bothering him, and then expressed gratitude to Gauge for his previous help, before deciding to leave.However, before he could even get up, Simon asked Annabelle several questions.Kendrick couldn't leave immediately, so he calmly listened to how his wife would respond.As Annabelle answered, she pondered how Gauge's father suddenly became interested in her affairs.Just because she was his son's friend?Her fingers were almost numb from Kendrick's pinching.This guy was jealous. He saw Gauge's father caring for her as if he cared for his future daughter-in-law. When they went out for a while, would Kendrick take matters into his own hands and punish her on the spot?So Simon asked enthusiastically, and Annabelle answered nervously.In my free time, I would read books and practice playing the piano.I didn't dislike traveling, but I pref
Kendrick came to the Murphy's residence today to personally thank Gauge, as it was indeed thanks to Gauge that day.Secondly, it was also to let Simon know that Annabelle was his wife.Simon, being conservative and straightforward by nature, absolutely did not want his son to have too much intimate contact with Mrs. Gregory. Even if Gauge had any crooked intentions towards Annabelle in the future, as long as Simon was there to keep him in check, he would not dare to act recklessly.But why did he feel like Simon also liked Annabelle? Could it be that he was trying to help his son snatch her away?Thinking about this, Kendrick felt a wave of annoyance in his heart.However, he immediately dismissed this absurd speculation. Simon was definitely not a person without discretion. Sending an antique vase and inviting Annabelle as a guest was probably also a way to establish a closer relationship with the Gregory family.Annabelle was really surpri
