Chapter 154 Like an ostrich hiding in his arms
Last Updated:
2025-01-10 18:03:05Annabelle 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

However, when Annabelle walked over and anxiously grabbed the person's arm, they turned around to reveal a completely unfamiliar face."Miss, is there something you need?" The man stared into a pair of slender eyes, his gaze carrying a hint of ambiguity, as if he thought Annabelle was trying to strike up a conversation with him.Although this person was also Asian, it was evident that he was not a young master."Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."Annabelle turned around in disappointment, but as she glanced back, she saw Kendrick standing behind her, his deep eyes fixed on her face."Who were you looking for?""Just one friend, misunderstood."Annabelle lowered her gaze and looked at the shimmering pool of water. Was it the wishing pool granting her wish, or had she been thinking about the young master too much lately, causing her to have hallucinations?I couldn't understand it anymore.The sight of her being distr
Last Updated : 2025-01-11I wish it were you Chapter 160 In Order to Obtain Kendrick
Lisa knew that Tanner was lecherous. When he agreed to help her keep Kendrick and drugged Kendrick, he was already lusting after her body.So she was mentally prepared and had already planned it out. Now she would first get rid of Tanner and once she ensured that her person successfully took Annabelle away, she would just withdraw. After all, Tanner was afraid of his wife and wouldn't dare to openly do anything to her.However, this was ultimately her ideal plan..."Do you think I can't see through your thoughts?" Tanner sneered, a glint of cunning in his dirty brown pupils. "If I let you go now, you won't come back again."Lisa gritted her teeth secretly, this old thing was quite difficult to deal with."How could it be! With such a large estate, all of it is your territory. How could I possibly escape?"Tanner hummed and grabbed Lisa's chin. From his increasingly rapid breaths, Lisa knew that this man had lost his patience."Ms. Abb

Annabelle hesitated for a moment, was she really that obvious?Looking into the reflective glass, Annabelle felt her heart inexplicably flutter at the bottomless depths of Kendrick's eyes.Whenever he looked at her with that kind of expression, trouble was bound to follow.Annabelle turned around busily and broke free from his embrace."I washed first."After saying that, Annabelle escaped like a fugitive and darted into the bathroom.When Annabelle came out of the bathroom, after changing into the silk nightgown prepared by the maid in advance, she realized that Kendrick had already fallen asleep, and there was a strange fragrance filling the room.Annabelle understood medicine and was also familiar with the smells and effects of various herbs.This scent resembled a kind of hallucinogenic spice, made by blending several herbs together. When burned, it emitted a unique fragrance that could calm the mind in small amounts.

The criminal spoke in Griffinpond language, and Annabelle could barely understand some of it."Such a pretty girl, is it a waste to just leave her like this?""Idiot, keep an eye on your little brother. If anything goes wrong, it's both of us who will end up dead."The two people came to Annabelle's front while talking.At this point, her heart had already sunk almost to the bottom. If the kidnapping was for ransom, there might still be room for negotiation. However, through their conversation, she had already understood that they were not after money, but her life.My fate today was death.Before she died, she might even have faced humiliation.The only thing that gave Annabelle a glimmer of hope was that they were at sea at that moment. As long as she could jump off the ship, there was a chance of survival. The thing she feared the most in her life was fire, but her closest companion was water.But in the current situation, h

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
I wish it were you Chapter 238 Just Couldn't Help but Want to Treat Her Well
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
I wish it were you Chapter 237 Too Enthusiastic
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
