I wish it were you Chapter 17 Their Relationship
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

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

When Annabelle found out she was being photographed, she tensed up.If the photos of her and Marvin were posted online, there would be very nasty rumors.Even though Kendrick and Annabelle would soon divorce, she didn't want to get him into trouble for this stupid mistake.Thinking of it, Annabelle became desperate. She couldn't wait to get rid of the troublesome Marvin."Alright, I've forgiven you. Can I go now?" she asked.Marvin was smart enough to tell that Annabelle was being perfunctory. When she was about to turn around, he suddenly hugged her.It exasperated Annabelle, so she stomped on his foot and pushed him away."I'm your sister-in-law now. Please behave yourself!"However, Marvin felt like hugging her for longer.He was intoxicated by her slender and soft body and her hair that exuded some elegant herbal fragrance.And most importantly, Annabelle was unlike any other woman Marvin had ever met.Compared with Annabelle, those women were simply mediocre and vulgar.Marvin de

Kendrick just shrugged and left with his arm around Annabelle.Watching them walk away side by side, Marvin felt more indignant.But he was not powerful enough to fight Kendrick, nor could he get Annabelle back for now. He threw away the umbrella in a huff and got into the car."Let's go back. Our first stop is Stellar Bar," he said to the driver in a low voice.In the meantime, Annabelle and Kendrick walked to the parking lot of Springvale Temple, sharing an umbrella.Kendrick asked faintly, "Why did you come to the mountains?"But in his heart, he wondered, "Did she and Marvin meet by chance or by appointment? If I hadn't come, would she have taken his car?"But Kendrick was too self-conscious to ask directly. He didn't want to sound like a jealous whiny man.Annabelle waved the painting before his eyes and smiled, "I heard that Ethan liked paintings of this style, so I asked a friend for one. It's a gift for him."Kendrick narrowed his eyes and nodded.It was a bit cruel to tell he

"Not a boyfriend. Ella got it wrong," Annabelle replied.The answer didn't make Kendrick feel better.He thought Annabelle must have been in the city more than once for the same man, so Ella asked if Annabelle was there for "her boyfriend".And Annabelle didn't deny this part.It suddenly came to Kendrick that Annabelle talked about moving into her friend's apartment the day he and Annabelle went to the City Hall.Kendrick guessed "her friend" was the man Ella mentioned just now.Even if Annabelle and that man were not in a relationship, he was special to Annabelle.Kendrick couldn't help but glance at her when she was looking out the window at the heavy rain. There seemed to be many things hidden in her indifferent eyes.He once thought Annabelle was just an ordinary girl who was abandoned by her family, but as they spent more time together, Kendrick began to feel that she was complicated.Annabelle didn't go to school but, judged by the books she chose to read, she was highly educat

I wish it were you Chapter 545 How Urgent Could He Be...
Kendrick's voice had become somewhat sour, and Annabelle responded, "I don’t distrust you...""Then listen to me," he said softly, pulling her into his embrace from behind.Just moments ago, he had almost let slip the name of Ryan. He and Ryan had reached an agreement—temporarily keeping from Annabelle the fact that her Master was actually Ryan. Otherwise, Ryan might tell her about Emilia’s existence.Kendrick wasn’t ready to explain this to her yet. He was afraid she would overthink it, and he hadn’t fully handled the situation himself.Annabelle remained lost in thought, still looking troubled."What are you thinking about?" Kendrick asked."I was thinking about when I’ll get better," Annabelle sighed, feeling frustrated. Every time she thought about her weak body and the poison inside her, things she couldn’t do, it made her feel miserable.Kendrick smiled lightly. "Don’t worry. I was just about to tell you."He took out his phone, logged into the health check center, and showed he
I wish it were you Chapter 544 Stewing the Flower Buds for Soup
At that time, Kendrick must have been very angry and sad. His stepmother had been clearing out his mother’s belongings, not even sparing a few flower pots. She dared to do that, which must have been tacitly approved by Colten.Fortunately, Trey had been there for him, giving him comfort and encouragement. This was probably why Kendrick had always been so close to Trey.After a while, Kendrick smiled and gently rubbed the top of her head. “It’s alright. I’m fine.”Annabelle replied with a soft "Oh..." But she noticed his eyes were red, and she really wanted to comfort him by patting his head."Many people think the epiphyllum has bad connotations. When Lydia threw the epiphyllums away, she said that the flowers were unlucky. Even Father agreed. So why do you like them so much, Anna?"Annabelle pursed her lips and replied, "There’s no such thing as good or bad plants. What people call lucky or unlucky is just something they’ve attached to them. In fact, the phrase 'like an epiphyllum' h
I wish it were you Chapter 543 Fragrant
Kendrick was taken aback at first, not understanding why she kissed him, but when he saw the playful glint in her eyes, he quickly figured out her thoughts. Smiling, he pinched her cheek."Anna, you’ve always cared about Ariana, haven’t you?""I don’t!" Annabelle turned her head proudly, pretending to admire the flowers.Kendrick chuckled and gently turned her back around. "Alright, whatever happens between her and Cael doesn’t concern us. We don’t need to worry about it."Kendrick understood that ever since their first meeting, when Annabelle suggested he let the grass pot Ariana gave him overgrow instead of regularly cleaning it, he had known that she was uneasy about his relationship with Ariana.Later, when they went golfing together and Ariana fainted in his arms, Annabelle had clearly been upset.Perhaps from that moment on, Annabelle had sensed something more from Ariana, a kind of hidden intention.But Kendrick hadn’t been perceptive enough to see Ariana’s affection for him, n
I wish it were you Chapter 542 The Look of a Good Brother Watching His Sister
Kendrick led Annabelle to the glass greenhouse in the back garden. He knew Trey had been cultivating various roses, and since Annabelle loved flowers, he had been meaning to take her there for a while. Tonight was the perfect opportunity.They passed through the corridor in the back yard and arrived at a small garden. The garden was filled with various winter-blooming plants along the center and walls, creating a colorful and lively atmosphere.Annabelle admired the flowers along the way, complimenting the vibrant blooms and the care taken in maintaining them.Seeing her in a relatively good mood, Kendrick figured nothing too serious had happened tonight. Otherwise, Annabelle wouldn't have had the energy to enjoy the flowers. But he was still eager to know what she wanted to tell him.The two of them walked along the path and entered the glass greenhouse.Now that they were alone, Annabelle finally took the opportunity to gossip, telling Kendrick everything she had witnessed earlier d
I wish it were you Chapter 541 A Small Belly
Inside Cael’s car.Ariana’s face was extremely sour."Cael, even if you want to flirt with women, can’t you tone it down a bit? At least don’t do it at the Gregory family’s place."Cael chuckled. "Isn’t it more exciting this way?""You’re really sick.""lol, don’t tell me you’ve never thought about anything dirty. We’re basically the same kind of people."Ariana ground her teeth in frustration and replied, "Don’t mix me with you. I’m just worried you’ll let your hormones get in the way and mess up our plan.""Don’t worry." Cael paused for a moment, then added, "And what do you mean by hormones? I’m just being direct about what I want."Ariana shot him a glare. "As long as you get the job done, you can do whatever you like.""Of course. At the engagement party, I’m the one getting humiliated and cuckolded. I’m risking my own reputation to help you; I’ll make sure it’s a success."Ariana was stirred by the thought of their plan and felt excitement bubbling inside her.She and Cael were
I wish it were you Chapter 540 No Longer Friends
The sounds of the couple’s intimacy outside were enough to make Annabelle feel so embarrassed she wished she could just disappear into thin air. What startled her even more were the words Cael had said.It turned out that he and Ariana weren’t really in a romantic relationship, and he had already been secretly involved with Charlotte earlier in the afternoon. Ariana knew about it as well. In other words, there was no need for her to warn Ariana after all.The conversation outside only grew more obscene, with Cael saying things that made Annabelle cover her ears in discomfort. "Why, God? Why must I be forced to witness two shocking incidents in a single day?"Should she go out and interrupt them now? Annabelle felt she would burst from the awkwardness. Should she just wait until they were done? That would surely drive her mad.She needed a way out. After a moment of thought, she took out her phone, cranked the volume up to maximum, and began playing a funny video.Sure enough, as soon
I wish it were you Chapter 539 The Green Glow on Ariana's Head
Cael stood up first, pulling Ariana's chair back for her and gently guiding her out of the dining room. He looked every bit the gentleman.Charlotte also got up, adjusting her skirt and lowering her head. She shot a shy glance at Cael, her lips pressed together.As Cael passed by her, he boldly reached out and pinched Charlotte’s bottom.Annabelle saw the whole thing.This man was absolutely outrageous!Though she knew there were good and bad men in the world, seeing it firsthand was an entirely different matter.Should she warn Ariana?She debated for a moment. Ariana was engaged to Cael, but she had been pining for Kendrick even after that. Cael and Ariana were both equally at fault in their relationship, so maybe she shouldn't interfere.But as she thought about it, Annabelle felt she couldn’t stay silent. Regardless of her personal grudges with Ariana or whether Ariana was truly in love with Cael, she couldn’t watch another woman marry a man like that without doing something about
I wish it were you Chapter 538 Under the Table
Annabelle chatted with her grandfather for a while about her endorsement of Lin's Jewelry. Grandpa Gregory reminded her to work hard but not to overwork herself. He also told her that, in the workplace, she would inevitably encounter all kinds of people. Even though everyone knew she was the young mistress of the Gregory family, there might still be some people plotting behind her back. If she ever faced unfair treatment, she shouldn’t be afraid to stand up for herself.His careful advice made Annabelle feel a little emotional. In her grandfather's eyes, she was still a child without much social experience. But since she was ten, she had lost her family's protection. If she hadn’t learned how to protect herself, she might not even be alive today. The current her was no longer the Annabelle who could be easily bullied."Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll take care of myself," she reassured him.Grandpa Gregory nodded in response. Just then, the head chef brought out a new dish. Grandpa invited
I wish it were you Chapter 537 Digging Her Own Grave
After hearing Annabelle’s explanation, Grandpa nodded. "Today's journalists are too fond of sensationalizing things."Annabelle smiled. "Being a journalist must come with a lot of pressure. They’re just trying to make a living. I don’t really like this kind of shameless reporting, but I can understand their position."She felt a little guilty as she said it.But with Ariana going back on her word, losing the swimming bet, and still trying to target her, Annabelle was irritated.Ariana wanted Grandpa to dislike her, right? Well, Annabelle would show her whether her little tricks would work.As expected, after Annabelle finished speaking, Lydia couldn't help but praise her: "It's rare for Annabelle to think this way!"Grandpa also agreed, smiling as he said, "Annabelle is just too kind. She should be more cautious when dealing with others."Annabelle felt pleased by the compliment but also a little guilty. She wasn’t as innocent as she made herself seem, though.Just as she was thinking
