Annabelle chuckled and thought to herself, "Isn't she naughty?"
She was clearly an innocent little white rabbit, but she fell into Kendrick's trap and couldn't escape from the marriage. She was constantly harassed and taken advantage of by him.
Now, Mr. Gregory shamelessly claimed that he wouldn't do anything to her.
"I wanted to get up, give me my clothes!"
Kendrick saw her suddenly get angry, but he didn't argue with her. He turned and went into the wardrobe, and brought her a set of clothes, from underwear to pajamas.
Blushing, Annabelle said coldly, "Just leave it there, you can go now."
Kendrick pressed his tongue against his gums, was the rabbit's tone a bit too arrogant?
Relying on his affection for her, she actually treated him as a servant.
"Shall I assist the lady in dressing?"
His slightly mocking tone made Annabelle break out in a cold sweat. How could she forget? This person is both cunning and vengeful, and
Annabelle noticed that the bandage she had just tied was wet, and fresh blood had seeped through the gauze."Didn't you avoid the wound?"Quite a grown man, how can he still not handle such matters properly? Is it intentional?But considering the fact that he had risked his life to save her before, Annabelle decided not to argue with him.She sighed and approached Kendrick. Without looking away, she picked up a towel next to her and wrapped it around his waist, then rebandaged him.This operation was smooth and seamless, Kendrick didn't make any mistakes, yet he still felt a bit disappointed."Could you help me pour half of the hot water? I will sit in the bathtub and wash myself, so that the wound won't get wet."Annabelle was annoyed by his pestering and agreed.After emptying the water, Annabelle bent down to test the temperature and caught a glimpse of him undoing the towel.Annabelle closed her eyes and looked strai
Kendrick was already waiting for her outside the villa, standing by the car door, wearing a pair of dark gray sunglasses, and talking on the phone.Annabelle glanced at him and, to her surprise, the old fox looked quite stylish in his outfit.Then she looked at their clothes again, both wearing Polo shirts, with the same style and brand, one black and one white, surprisingly matching couple outfits.Is this his little trick? I didn't expect this grown man to be quite childish.At this moment, Kendrick finished his call and looked at the refreshing little girl in front of him. He felt happy and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her pretty ponytail."Get on the car."Annabelle furrowed her brows and tidied her hair.Although only her braid was touched, she suddenly felt her face getting hot for some reason.She patted her cheek, suppressing the discomfort in her heart, and got into his car.Silent all the way, the two
Annabelle noticed Ariana's uneasiness and asked, "What's wrong with Ariana? Not feeling well?""I was just scared," Ariana said, her eyes turning red. "I heard that my sister-in-law was unconscious for two days, it was really terrifying. Is she okay now?"Annabelle smiled and said, "It's not serious, I've just been feeling tired lately. I spent a long time swimming in the sea that day, so I was a bit exhausted."She realized that Kendrick didn't want to bring up the topic of Milan in front of their friends, so she also tried to downplay it as much as possible.Kendrick pulled her hand and held it in his palm."However, my dog Anna is really good in water. Thanks to her, I was able to escape that day. I owe Anna my life now."Annabelle pursed her lips and thought to herself, "You cunning fox, you should be grateful. I risked my life that day to pull you out of the sea level, and even in that situation, you took advantage of me. Just thinking
"Of course," Kendrick nodded.Ariana carefully untied the ribbon, opened the gift box, and inside were a pair of exquisite and unique emerald earrings, clearly crafted by a master.In Ariana's eyes, when a man gives a woman jewelry, it also implies a lot of ambiguity, especially when it is done in front of Annabelle. This made her secretly proud."Do you like it?" Kendrick asked.Ariana was about to say that she liked it, but she heard Kendrick say, "Annabelle helped you pick it."Did Ariana choke on something that Annabelle picked?Originally, this was not Ken's intention, it was just a formality...When Ariana looked at the emerald in the box again, she felt that the faint green light was exceptionally dazzling."Like, very pretty," she snapped the box shut and looked at Annabelle, "Thank you, sister-in-law."Annabelle took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "You're welcome."At this moment, the club manager appro
Ariana chatted with Seamus and Scott while keeping an eye on Annabelle and Kendrick. Although she always had a smile on her face, only she knew that her mouth was stiff.She remembered when she used to learn how to play golf, she also wanted Kendrick to teach her.Kendrick, however, directly hired a professional player as her coach. He taught her well, but what she wanted was just to be held in his arms and taught hand in hand like this!Afterwards, Kendrick took Annabelle to play two strokes and said, "Why don't you give it a try?""Okay."Everyone has a competitive spirit, including Annabelle, who, despite lacking natural athletic talent, is determined to independently excel in this sport.So the little rabbit seized the opportunity and took two swings while the iron was hot, and the result was...None of them won.Annabelle pouted and looked at Kendrick, who was laughing beside her."The first time playing ball, it's
Annabelle stifled a laugh and looked at Seamus.Seamus kept shaking his head and gesturing with his eyes, telling her not to speak.Annabelle, of course, would not betray anyone. While she was pondering how to explain, Scott casually remarked, "You used to play basketball when you were young and almost hit your own heel."Annabelle was surprised to learn that this seemingly quiet young master from the Shi family was also a cunning and manipulative man.But at the same time, the laughter that had been suppressed so hard was once again stirred up.Kendrick's face grew darker.Seamus said with a strong will to survive, "Kendrick, I swear to God, I only said it to boost my sister-in-law's confidence."Annabelle kept a straight face and explained to Kendrick, "I wasn't making fun of you, I just thought you were cute when you were little!"Kendrick, of course, was not really angry either. If his embarrassing past could make her laugh
Kendrick reacted quickly and promptly supported Ariana's shoulder, preventing her from falling into his arms.Seeing Ariana with her eyes tightly closed and a pale face, it seemed like she couldn't speak anymore.Kendrick gently placed her on the ground, cradling her back with his arms, and said to Annabelle, "Anna, take a look at this, see what's going on."Annabelle was a medical student. Saving lives and treating illnesses was an instinctive reaction for her. She immediately crouched beside Ariana, opened her eyelids to take a look, and then checked her pulse by lifting her wrist.Pretty healthy, the heart rate was a bit fast, but the pulse was strong and vigorous, and there was no fainting or shock reaction.Other than Annabelle, Ms. Murphy could possibly come in first if she ran an 800-meter race.At the same time, Annabelle also discovered something interesting.The bandage on Ariana's foot was just for show, it could deceive th
Annabelle thought to herself, "If Kendrick leaves the delicate Ariana behind and comes to take care of me, wouldn't it make her sad?"Previously, Lisa envied Annabelle, causing her to almost lose face. She didn't want to make any more enemies.Because she had already realized that these girls who liked Kendrick were all tough characters, she herself was just a naive little bunny from the mountains, unable to withstand their antics, and had no intention of competing with them for men."Seamus was taking care of her."Kendrick was a man, with a rather blunt emotional nature, unaware of Annabelle's subtle emotions.He thought Annabelle was too strong-willed, but now that she has twisted her ankle, she is too embarrassed to let him see and is just gritting her teeth."I was really fine... Ouch, it hurts!"As soon as he pressed on the injured area of Annabelle, she couldn't help but cry out in pain."Both swollen, but you're fine. I
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
