I wish it were you Chapter 19 It Feels Warm
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
Last Updated : 2024-12-17I wish it were you Chapter 25 Kendrick's Jealousy
In the last few days after Annabelle came back from Springvale Temple, Trey had been occupied with some matters at the Gregory's mansion and didn't have time to pay attention to Annabelle.Annabelle found that a relief. She didn't have to share a room with Kendrick and had a good sleep.In the blink of an eye, it was Ethan's birthday party.Kendrick prepared a dress for Annabelle. Unexpectedly, she had already got her own dress for the party, and it was a long dress with elegant colors.Such a tight dress demanded a perfect body shape, and it could highlight even a little bit of fat on a woman's body.Of course, it would make the most flattering outfit if it fitted.Annabelle had that kind of perfect body shape.She was curvy with a long fair neck and a tiny waist. The most attractive part was her slender legs, which could be seen now and then through the slits of the dress. No man could resist the temptation to peek.Kendrick looked at Annabelle in the sexy dress and put on a serious

Kendrick brought Annabelle to his grandfather, and they congratulated Ethan on his birthday together.Ethan smiled at his grandson and lovely granddaughter-in-law and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction."Kendrick, you finally came to your senses!""It's just that I hadn't met the right person before," Kendrick smiled and glanced at Annabelle beside him.Annabelle blushed slightly, thinking Kendrick knew how to put on a show in front of the elders.Then Annabelle presented the gift.She respectfully said to Ethan, "Grandpa, I heard that you like Melvin's paintings, so I got one for you. I hope you'll like it."As soon as Ethan heard the name of Melvin, his eyes lit up.But then Ethan thought it was impossible. How could his young granddaughter-in-law know Melvin?Annabelle grew up in Springvale Temple, and Melvin had secluded himself. Springvale Temple was thriving, so Melvin would not choose to stay there.As for Melvin's works, except for a few that were auctioned off, the rest were

Secret.Kendrick glanced at the woman in front of him, savoring those two words."Drink it while it's hot and rest early."After Annabelle finished speaking, she hurriedly left the study.Her affectionate and absent-minded look, all fell into Kendrick's eyes. He picked up the bowl of soup and took a sip, somehow suddenly feeling that there was a hint of sourness in the soup today.Two days later in the evening, the doorbell rang twice.Kendrick had not returned yet when Annabelle heard the doorbell ring, so she went to open the door and saw Trey carrying a white foam box."When the old man went fishing at the sea, he personally caught some, and he also bought some fresh ones early in the morning from the fishermen. I will bring you some."After Annabelle understood, she quickly went to pick up the box, while Trey hurriedly hid."Mrs. Gregory, don't touch it anymore. It's quite heavy. I'll put it in the fridge for you, so you can cook and eat it as soon as possible.""Okay."Annabelle
I wish it were you Chapter 59 Who Was She Thinking About?
Kendrick let the little woman pound his chest. It didn't hurt anyway, it felt more like scratching an itch, and each hit landed right on his heart.When Annabelle had finished venting, and was about to withdraw her hand, Kendrick grabbed her fist."Little White, for you, I gave up my life, and yet you still hit me."Annabelle frowned and glared at him, "What do you mean, you clearly put my life at stake too!""Okay, okay, calm down," Kendrick lowered his head and kissed her fist, then rubbed her head. "Good girl, I didn't want you to lose."Annabelle was dumbfounded on the spot as she listened to his teasing.At the engagement banquet, she must have had a wrong idea and couldn't think straight, why did she provoke this person!Annabelle didn't want to deal with the man beside her anymore. She pulled her hand away and wanted to get off the car to get some fresh air. However, when she glanced at the bustling crowd outside, she felt that it was too noisy and immediately felt annoyed. She
I wish it were you Chapter 58 Mr. Gregory's Speed and Passion
Under the envious and jealous gaze of women, Annabelle was tightly held by Kendrick's hand as they walked all the way to the car.After Marvin saw Annabelle coming over, he was momentarily dazed. Having her present to watch only made Marvin's blood boil even more, and he couldn't help but want to immediately compete and win her back home.But when he heard Kendrick say that he would be carrying Annabelle for the race, he frowned and said, "Have you thought about it? Carrying one more person means giving me more than just a 20-meter disadvantage."Kendrick chuckled, "Just wanted to make you run 20 meters."Marvin gritted his teeth and silently got into the car. He lightly pressed on the gas pedal, and the roaring engine sounded like his anger and defiance.Annabelle also got into Kendrick's car and Kendrick helped her fasten her seatbelt.The race officially began, and two top-level racing cars flew out of the starting line.As Kendrick said, his car was stable, but only in the initial
I wish it were you Chapter 57 Accompany Me
Annabelle hesitated for a moment, then opened the car door.Since we have already come, we might as well go and take a closer look. Otherwise, staying in the car doesn't feel secure.She wore a mask and a baseball cap, following Raphael through the bustling crowd, and arrived at the front position. Separated by a soft barrier, she looked towards the middle of the racetrack."Kendrick's car didn't look very good, is it still working?"Annabelle didn't understand cars, she just judged by their appearance. She thought that the GTR looked far less impressive compared to Marvin's Bugatti Veyron.Raphael laughed and said, "My brother-in-law's car is modified. You can't just judge by its appearance. If you open the hood and take a look, it might cost more than a Bugatti Veyron for a complete set."After hearing Raphael's words, Annabelle felt a little relieved. It seems that Kendrick didn't act recklessly, but rather had some skills."Would that be dangerous?"Raphael tugged at the corner of
I wish it were you Chapter 56 The Little Prince on the Bend
At ten o'clock that night, Coastline Avenue.This was a popular racing spot, and as soon as night fell, racing enthusiasts gathered here.Annabelle sat in a discreet black Mercedes sedan by the roadside, looking towards the starting point of the racetrack.The car engine roared, deafeningly loud, as the obnoxious high-pitched music stimulated her eardrums. There were also those excessively excited men and women, some screaming loudly, while others engaged in passionate and explicit kissing.The darkness covered those hidden actions and transactions, and also magnified their desires infinitely.Annabelle raised the car window, shutting out the outside noise, and rubbed her temples with a headache.She didn't want to come, but this confrontation ultimately started because of her.And the racing activity, filled with danger, made it impossible for Annabelle to peacefully read at home.After much hesitation, she dialed her brother Raphael's phone number.She didn't know exactly where Kend
I wish it were you Chapter 55 Using Her as a Bet
Annabelle suddenly widened her eyes, and at that moment, she had one thought - she hadn't brushed her teeth! And neither had she...Fortunately, Kendrick didn't French kiss, he only kissed her lips and left after a moment.Kendrick seemed to have noticed her thoughts and chuckled as he playfully tapped her nose, "We've already shared a bed, so why are you still acting so distant?"The two words "slept with" were deliberately emphasized by him, which frightened Annabelle and made her face turn pale. She abruptly pushed Kendrick away.In fact, she just slept deeply last night. If Kendrick really did that to her, she couldn't have not woken up. But she couldn't help but confirm again that her thin strap nightgown was intact and her body didn't feel any discomfort."By the way, what is that piece of clothing placed in the entrance hall?" Kendrick asked.Annabelle just remembered about Gemma and Marvin."What Marvin brought.""Did he find you again?" Kendrick frowned unhappily, feeling a s
I wish it were you Chapter 54 Couldn't Hold Back
Marvin firmly passed the clothes through the crack in the door."I bought this dress for you, although it's not exactly the same as yours, but it's also a limited edition new design by Master Fey. If you don't want it, you can tear it up and throw it away."Annabelle refused to take it, so he forcefully shoved it into her hand."Anna, I will come back tomorrow to teach you how to drive.""...No need, even if you came, I wouldn't learn from you."Marvin, however, smirked and a hint of mischief flashed across his handsome face, "See you tomorrow!"Watching the blue sports car roaring away, Annabelle was filled with frustration and speechless.How could there be such arrogant and self-opinionated people?Annabelle shook her head and walked back into the villa, carrying her clothes. She casually placed the million-dollar outfit at the entrance and proceeded to tidy up her plants and flowers.Annabelle spent the rest of the afternoon in flower arranging, which was quite enjoyable.As for G
I wish it were you Chapter 53 Can't Bear to See Women Cry
Annabelle furrowed her brows, she and Kendrick didn't have anything going on, how did Marvin find out?"I had a good relationship with Kendrick."After finishing speaking, Annabelle turned her head to look outside the window. Regardless of how he knew, she wanted to discuss this topic again.Marvin also noticed that Annabelle didn't want to talk, so he patiently remained quiet, although his mood had already changed from before.Actually, he was just pretending earlier, but of course he had some basis for pretending.He accidentally overheard Trey and Kendrick talking on the phone, asking Kendrick to take the initiative in that aspect.He had doubts at that time, but he was not sure yet. Seeing Annabelle's unnatural expression at that moment, his suspicions were confirmed, and he couldn't help but feel delighted. Silently in his heart, he vowed to make sure Anna would return to his side.Finally, he brought Annabelle home and helped her carry the flowers back to the garden. As if casua
I wish it were you Chapter 52 Anna, You Really Outsmarted Me
The car window rolled down, and Annabelle caught sight of Marvin's handsome face, full of wildness and arrogance."Anna, get in the car, I'll give you a ride."He spoke very naturally, as if the two of them were very familiar.Since Annabelle already knew his feelings for her, she naturally wouldn't get in his car. Anyway, she could always hail a taxi in ten minutes."No need."After finishing speaking, Annabelle moved the flowerpot towards the back of her car and continued to hail a taxi.Marvin got off the car directly.He came to Annabelle's side, smiled at her stubborn face, and without saying a word, he picked up the flower pot she had placed on the ground and walked straight to the car."Hey, Marvin!"However, Marvin, who was tall and had long legs, had already placed the flowers on the car in just two steps."I didn't need you to give me a ride."As she spoke, she was about to take the flower down, but Marvin stood in front of the car door."Anna, you don't have to hide from me
