Chapter 163 Surrounded
Last Updated:
2025-01-12 18:02:37Annabelle 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

Kendrick was shot!When Annabelle realized this fact, a wave of intense pain surged from the depths of her heart.But she didn't have time to be sad.At this moment, her rope had already been cut. Annabelle first tore off the tape from her mouth and tightly held Kendrick's hand, trying to help him float up.Kendrick, however, hooked her neck and kissed her.This kiss had no lingering meaning, but rather felt like a silent farewell.It was pitch black underwater, but she could feel that Kendrick was about to let go.No!Don't let go!Annabelle couldn't make a sound and could only tightly grip his arm, but Kendrick pushed her away and sank towards the even darker depths of the sea...Almost without hesitation, Annabelle quickly swam towards the direction Kendrick was sinking.She was well aware that the chances of saving Kendrick with her own strength were very slim.Because even though she could hold

Although Kendrick always acted like a rascal and sometimes his bossiness annoyed her, Annabelle never wanted to see him get hurt.Is it really true, as my mother said, that she is a jinx and anyone who gets close to her will have bad luck?Annabelle thought more and more, and finally burst into tears."Don't cry... I'm not dead yet..." came the hoarse voice of a man, followed by a violent cough.Annabelle instantly woke up and looked at Kendrick, who was lying on the driftwood."Kendrick, you scared me to death just now!" she said, as more tears welled up.He forced out an ugly smile and wiped away her tears."How could I bear to let you become a young widow?"At this point, I was still in the mood to joke with her. Was it really not that serious, or was I just trying to comfort her?"I didn't want to, you just pushed me away!"Annabelle couldn't help but feel scared when she thought about the decision she had mad

In fact, Kendrick's watch had been specially modified. In times of danger, it could send out a distress signal, and his subordinates could quickly locate him.I didn't really want to scare her anymore, so I decided to tell her the truth.Little did he know, she had no intention of dying with him. If he truly had no hope of survival, she would be able to swim to the small island on her own and live happily ever after.Annabelle sighed inwardly and, although she didn't want to discourage him, she still spoke up."My swimming skills may be better than you think...""You underestimated the power of the sea."Seeing that he still didn't believe her, Annabelle told him.When she was eight years old, she went out to play on a yacht with her family. She was accidentally knocked down and fell into the sea. She drifted on the sea for a day and a night, and was finally rescued by a fishing boat before returning home miraculously.At that

Kendrick didn't expect Annabelle to do this, and this deep kiss really ignited his cold body.This was a good thing, and also a bad thing.Because the blood circulation accelerated, his wound also bled more.Finally, Kendrick gently pulled away from Annabelle's dutiful kiss."Alright, silly.""Do you feel better?"Annabelle didn't know how much impact her kiss could have, but there wasn't much she could do now."Much better," Kendrick buried his face in her neck and whispered hoarsely, "I just wanted you too much, it's like my blood is flowing faster."The explicit sweet talk made Annabelle's face flush, and she anxiously looked towards the wound on his shoulder, and sure enough, a lot of blood was oozing out again."Kendrick, you were really crazy."He gave a bitter smile and said, "It's good enough to be able to kiss you before dying."At such a time, he still had the mood to say such things!Anywa
Last Updated : 2025-01-13I wish it were you Chapter 168 Did he refuse to accept me?
Because Annabelle just said that the man used to visit her every night, Kendrick is particularly sensitive to this kind of sentence.Annabelle thought for a moment, were her relationship with the young master considered close?During the time when she was sick, the young master could only visit her at night because it was inconvenient during the day.The young master personally changed her medicine, held her in his arms, spoon-fed her bite by bite, and also helped her move her fingers and supported her to get out of bed and walk...This kind of contact should be considered intimate, right?"Yes..."Upon hearing this answer, Kendrick felt a mixture of bitterness and sourness in his heart. Suddenly, he became overwhelmed with anger and started coughing violently.He had originally wanted to hear her talk about those happy things, to alleviate the long and painful waiting time. Little did he expect that it would stir up her longing for a

Jax did not report immediately, but instead looked cautiously at the sleeping Annabelle.He was a cautious person, holding a guard against anyone, even the boss's favorite.Kendrick nodded at him and said, "Go ahead, speak."Jax began to speak: "The person who kidnapped the lady was bribed by Lisa, with the intention of killing her. Lisa was able to act in the mansion because..."Kendrick frowned and said, "Just say it.""Because she had a relationship with your uncle, but your uncle...""What uncle, Tanner," Kendrick clenched his fist, veins bulging on his forehead out of anger.Jax then changed his tone: "Tanner didn't know Lisa's specific intentions, and he probably didn't expect that Lisa wanted to kill his wife, so he just did as she said and helped her. As for the person who later shot at you, it shouldn't be related to Lisa. I haven't found out their identity yet, but the footage retrieved from the dock shows that they all have

Kendrick stared out of the porthole, recalling every detail from before.Looking back on the past few days' itinerary, Annabelle did indeed display many abnormalities.In the concert hall, she was absent-minded. When she arrived at Witchport Manor, she was even more restless and almost mistook someone.No matter what, he needed to investigate these matters thoroughly.After a moment of contemplation, Kendrick said to Jax, "Investigate the identities of the guests in the second-floor VIP room during the concert that night, and see if there were any suspicious individuals.""Okay, I went to deploy immediately.""Wait," Kendrick called out to Jax again, "investigate all of Annabelle's previous experiences before she came to the Gregory family, including everyone she had ever been in contact with.""Yes. So, Tanner, how would you like to handle it?"Kendrick considered for a moment, "You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle

When Kendrick entered the bedroom, Annabelle had already tucked herself back into the blanket, with only half of her head exposed, watching him approach the bed.He was wearing a camel-colored casual shirt, his complexion wasn't great, but he walked steadily, seemingly without any major physical issues, which made her slightly relieved."Your injury..." Annabelle hadn't finished speaking when Kendrick came to her bedside and gently kissed her lips.Okay, no need to ask, it seems like there was nothing wrong."Where are my clothes?""Wet, washed."Annabelle felt uncomfortable as Kendrick stared at her. She could feel his intense gaze burning two holes into her."Did you... undress me?""Come on, I've seen you without clothes before, why are you so afraid of me looking?" Kendrick teased her.Annabelle's face turned even redder as she puffed out her cheeks and tucked half of her face under the blanket, leaving only her two

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
