Annabelle really didn't move anymore.
Because she sensed that Kendrick's mood was off and remembered that he had left in the morning with a heavy heart, she worried that something had happened.
After holding him for a while, Annabelle felt that Kendrick's breathing had calmed down a bit, so she asked, "What happened?"
Kendrick fell silent for a moment and said, "I went to the auditorium to look for you just now, but you weren't there. I was a little worried."
I was just worried about her...
Annabelle had just wanted to tell him that the reason she ran out was because the teacher who taught her medical skills had arrived. She had followed the young master out, but unfortunately, she didn't catch up.
But as the words reached her lips, Annabelle swallowed them back.
She seemed to have no need to tell Kendrick about these things regarding the young master.
After holding her for a while, Kendrick finally let go of her. Annabelle the
Annabelle also didn't know why she had to lie and deceive him, saying that the bouquet of flowers was a gift from her boss.Just thinking, Kendrick would definitely be very unhappy if he knew that the flowers were sent by the young master.Kendrick took the flowers from Kamila's hand and handed them to Annabelle, saying, "Here, take these."After saying that, he turned around and showed her his back again.Annabelle lowered her gaze and, with one hand holding onto something and the other clutching his shoulder, she once again leaned on his back.Kamila watched the backs of the two people leaving and sighed enviously.I wish I had a caring older brother like that...She was about to return to the auditorium when she happened to see Gauge walking out."Didn't you watch the performance?" Kamila asked."Well, it's nothing special," Gauge said as he walked down the stairs. After taking a couple of steps, he turned back to Kam
"You, hurry up and take your medicine, stop talking."Annabelle was so angry that her voice became hoarse. She turned her face away and refused to look at Kendrick anymore.Now she couldn't look directly into Kendrick's eyes anymore, because whenever she met his gaze, she felt like she wasn't wearing any clothes...After giving Annabelle her medicine, Kendrick carried her back to her own room, but Annabelle never looked into his eyes."Rest early."Annabelle lay on the bed, facing away from him, and waved her hand.Kendrick glanced at her deeply and closed the door.He had noticed long ago that Annabelle was shy. She didn't dare to look at him at all. Her small face, about the size of a palm, turned pink, which was very cute and made him feel a little better.After arriving on the first floor, Kendrick dialed his father's phone number."Father, I have returned from the mountains," Kendrick reported."Is your grand
On Annabelle's side, although she returned to the room and got on the bed, she did not feel sleepy.After Kendrick returned to her room, she limped downstairs.The bouquet that the young master gave her, she hadn't put it in a vase yet. She's afraid the flowers will wilt severely if she waits until tomorrow to do so.Just now Kendrick was here, she didn't want to bother him, and also because discussing the topic of him helping her change her underwear made her so embarrassed that she wished she could hide in a hole.So I sneaked down here just now, thinking of simply tidying up the bouquet of flowers before going to sleep.To Annabelle's surprise, Kendrick had already unwrapped the packaging and had placed the flowers in a vase.That annoying sense of guilt once again emerged from Annabelle's heart.If Kendrick knew that the person who was sending her flowers was about to take her away from him, would Kendrick still do these things?
Annabelle was afraid of pain, so she immediately backed away and stared at Kendrick, saying, "Why did you pull my hair?""Where did you go and for how many days?"Kendrick let go, but the low air pressure made Annabelle feel suffocated."Stonebay Resort, three days."After spending so much time together, Annabelle now knows better and tries her best not to provoke Kendrick, so she answers very quickly."Understood, stay safe."Annabelle blinked her eyes and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they didn't want to stop her. Phew, what a false alarm.After Annabelle left the study, Kendrick made a phone call to Jaime: "I will be going out for the next three days. I have a meeting with a business partner the day after tomorrow. I will inform the vice president and you should cooperate fully. As for other trivial matters, I will handle them after the Golden Week is over.""Yes, President.""Also, book me a p
Annabelle slowly walked into the lake, gently paddled her arms, and swam freely and joyfully like a happy fish.Kamila was not good at swimming, and combined with her poor figure, she didn't like wearing revealing clothes. At the moment, she was lying on a wicker chair by the lake, sipping on some juice and enjoying the gentle breeze. It was quite pleasant.Until she heard someone approaching, she slightly opened her eyes and realized it was Gauge."Hi!"Gauge nodded in response and then took off his bathrobe, stepping into the lake. Kamila watched Gauge's well-proportioned and muscular figure and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity this guy didn't become a model.Then she pinched the flesh on her stomach and for the N+1th time, she felt the urge to lose weight.Immediately, she saw Gauge swimming towards Annabelle.Kamila immediately felt that the two of them were a perfect match and quickly took out
As the time underwater increased, Annabelle began to feel a slight tightness in her chest.She didn't know how long she could hold on, but when she looked at Gauge, she realized that he was completely fine.Is this person a fish?Not only Annabelle was anxious, but Kamila on the shore was also panicking at the moment. They have been underwater for so long without resurfacing, could it be... that they are dead?But fortunately, the pool water was clear, and Kamila could see that both of them were still moving, so she restrained herself from calling for help.In the distance, Kendrick had already used a telescope, and his temples were pounding.As soon as Kendrick saw Gauge also entering the lake just now, he couldn't sit still.Later, watching them swim to the other side of the lake together, I realized that the two of them were probably competing, which made me even more bitter.The two of them had elegant swimming styles, with
Annabelle came to the hot spring area alone, chose an empty pool, walked in, and then comfortably closed her eyes.Not long after, other classmates also arrived.There were several more people in the pool, including both girls and boys. Annabelle looked around and noticed that there were still several empty pools. She wondered why everyone had to squeeze together with her.If she were to get up and change pools now, it wouldn't be impossible, but it would seem very impolite, as if she were disdainful of her classmates.So she moved a little away from others.Gauge didn't go into the pool because he didn't like sharing the pool with others. So he sat on a chair nearby, listening to music, planning to have a snack and then go back to his own suite.He lived in a small detached villa with a private courtyard, which had his own private hot spring pool. Actually, he could have gone straight back to his room, but he couldn't help but walk over to
Annabelle just arrived at the bar and ordered a hot coffee from the waiter.While she waited, it felt like a big, heavy person had just sat down next to her.Annabelle glanced at him with a sidelong glance and immediately knew what he was thinking, so she got up and left.When dealing with a thug, you can't be too careful. The sooner you get away, the better.But even so, her shoulder was still held down by the man."Miss, why didn't you take the order after you placed it?"The waiter had already placed the hot coffee on the bar counter. The man pushed the cup towards Annabelle and glanced at the waiter, saying, "Just leave it. You can go now."The waiter hesitated for a moment and then retreated to the backstage.Annabelle looked around and realized that there were no classmates of hers in the bar. In fact, it was just her and this man.The waiter had already left, so even if he heard any noise, he wouldn't pay attention to her.After all, Annabelle was just a student, while this per
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
