Chapter 155 His Intentions
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-01-10 18:04:26During 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

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

Annabelle looked at Kendrick in despair. Kendrick, being backlit, had eyes that appeared pitch black. Annabelle couldn't make out the expression on his face, but she could sense a murderous intent emanating from his silence.Actually, I really wanted to say thank you to him. Thank him for helping her at the engagement banquet several months ago.She also thanked him for working so hard for her tonight.But because her mouth was stuck with adhesive tape, she couldn't even say a word of goodbye, only tears welled up.At that moment, the sound of a speedboat engine could be heard in the distance.Kendrick said coldly, "My men will soon surround this ship. If you release her now, I can give you a way out.""Shut up! Get out! Go to the deck!" The scarred man instantly became tense, gasping urgently, "Otherwise, I'll kill her right here!"Annabelle speculated that the criminal might have known that he couldn't escape, so he decided to take

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.

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…”
