Chapter 212 Craving His Body?

2025-02-11 18:02:45Kendrick hurriedly comforted, "What are you afraid of? The thunder is still far away, it won't strike you."
However, as soon as the words fell, another lightning bolt struck, followed by the sound of thunder.
The thunder and lightning came closer this time...
Kendrick's face darkened as he silently glanced at his mother's tombstone, thinking to himself, "I am your own son, are you really going to betray us?"
But there was no time to think further, as at that moment the two of them were on the top of the mountain, which was indeed very dangerous.
If struck by lightning, tomorrow's news will be lively: the president of the Gregory Group, accompanied by his wife, was struck by lightning and died instantly...
"We quickly descended the mountain."
After Kendrick finished speaking, he took Annabelle's hand and walked quickly downhill.
However, before reaching the foot of the mountain, a heavy rain poured down.
The rain kept pou

"I didn't!" Annabelle said, then she arrogantly turned her head away and stopped looking at Kendrick.She wasn't lusting after his body, but rather, from a doctor's perspective, from a biological perspective, sincerely admiring his strong and well-proportioned physique, that's all."Really, you didn't think about anything?"Kendrick had arrived by her side, his warm and enticing masculine presence enveloping her instantly.Annabelle dodged backwards and leaned her body against the nearby stone wall. She placed her hand on his chest, but as soon as her fingertips touched his scorching skin, she quickly pulled back, as if she had touched a burning piece of iron.Annabelle's face suddenly flushed. "Who did you think everyone was like you?"She thought, "You've got sex on the brain all the time!""I won't give it a thought; we have to save our first time for a better place."Annabelle was very clever. When she heard him say this, s

Suddenly, in the distance, there came a loud rumbling sound, and the cave started to shake, as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.Annabelle was shocked and immediately went to the entrance of the cave, looking towards the direction where the sound was coming from, breathing heavily in a hurry.However, in front of her was pitch black, and Annabelle couldn't see anything.She didn't know what the loud noise was, but she only remembered that when she was 13 years old, it was her third year at Springvale Temple. That year, there was a lot of rain, and a nearby mountain near Springvale Temple experienced a large-scale landslide.There was a loud noise at that time, just like just now!Kendrick had not come back yet, could it be...Annabelle couldn't dare to think further, and she couldn't sit still either. She turned on the flashlight on her phone and walked out of the cave.Following the same path as befo

Annabelle felt the cold rainwater on his face and also felt his burning hot skin.With the dim light of a weak flashlight, Annabelle saw Kendrick in front of her through blurry teary eyes. He was covered in mud and looked extremely disheveled.Unable to restrain her emotions any longer, she threw herself into Kendrick's arms and tightly wrapped her arms around his neck."Why did you go away for so long?""The nearby mountain had a landslide, so it caused a slight delay..."Where did he spend a little time, he went for two hours!During those two hours, Annabelle endured each second as if it were a thousand years, the time felt excruciatingly long.Kendrick followed along her back, soothing her emotions, "I also grabbed some food for you from the car, aren't you hungry?"He said as he gently pulled Annabelle's hand and opened the backpack.In the bag were grapes picked at grandma's house and two bottles of mineral water.

Annabelle thought to herself, "Kendrick, you are quite self-aware!""I was afraid that after you died, all those girls and sisters of yours would come looking for me, blaming me for poisoning and killing you."To be fair, she certainly wanted freedom, but she was not an ungrateful person, and she could see everything Kendrick had done for her.So, even if I hated him and he acted like a rogue and a scoundrel, I would never curse him to die.Afterwards, Annabelle took out the grapes and handed them to Kendrick, saying, "These grapes were grown by my grandmother, so they shouldn't have any pesticides. Mr. Gregory doesn't need to be so particular, just eat them directly to replenish your energy."Kendrick smiled and quietly ate a few grapes.Annabelle raised an eyebrow in surprise.I thought Kendrick would say something like not wanting to let her become a young widow or something like that, but to my surprise, he remained silent the who

Kendrick put on Annabelle's clothes, leaned against the stone wall, and indeed felt a bit more comfortable, but still shivered intermittently."Is it still cold?"Annabelle touched his forehead again, checked his temperature, and it seemed even hotter than before."I'm much better now." Kendrick couldn't bear to see her worry, so he lied and then reached out with his big hand, pulling Annabelle into his arms, letting her sit on his lap, leaning against his chest. "But this way would be even better."At that moment, Kendrick didn't think too much, he just felt sorry for Annabelle, after all, she was hardly wearing anything and would only be colder than him.Annabelle did not struggle, she knew that for Kendrick, she was just a little warm baby who could breathe now.Of course, this way she would also feel a bit warmer, truly huddling together for warmth."I don't know when the person who will save us will come," Annabelle worriedly loo

Annabelle rubbed her forehead and said, "Can't I read a book by myself?"This answer gave Kendrick a peace of mind, and he immediately asked, "What kind of books have you been reading? It seems quite comprehensive.""Kendrick, could you please be quiet for a moment?"Being trapped in this cave, Annabelle's mind was already in a mess. And he kept on saying these words. How could Annabelle not go crazy?After being angrily scolded by Annabelle, Kendrick sighed and obediently kept quiet.The man behind her seemed at ease, and Annabelle felt tired as well.She had been mentally tense all along, but now the two of them embraced each other, and she found solace in her heart, and drowsiness swept over her.After dozing off in a drowsy state, I even had a dream.She dreamt of herself eating a cake, the cake was soft, sweet, and had a grape flavor.Wait, why does this cake still have a faint tobacco smell?Annabelle sudden

"I picked it."Annabelle spoke, pulling her wrist out of Kendrick's hand, and lowered her head without looking at him.She couldn't even look Kendrick in the eyes now, nor could she have any physical contact with him, let alone speak to him.Because every time she had contact with him, all the little gestures Kendrick made in the cave would come rushing back to her mind.And, for the past three nights, Annabelle had been dreaming the same scenario every evening - once in her bedroom, once on the beach, and even once in a car. Although each dream was interrupted by Jax's appearance, Annabelle felt that her thoughts had become impure.So, rather than saying that Annabelle ignored Kendrick these past few days because she was angry, it would be more accurate to say that she was actually shy and deliberately avoiding him.Kendrick had no idea what she was thinking. Seeing her looking like she didn't want to be touched by him, he felt uncomfortabl

Upon hearing Fabian's voice, Annabelle was greatly surprised and then glanced at the incoming phone number before bursting into laughter."Great designer, since you missed me so much, why didn't you give me a call even once?"During the time Fabian attended Fashion Week, Annabelle knew he was busy like a spinning top every day, so she didn't bother him and as a result, they hardly had any contact.I suddenly received a call from Fabian from abroad at this moment, which was quite unexpected."I will arrive at Elfhedge tomorrow. There are some things I want to tell you in person. The plane arrives at 8 o'clock in the morning. Do you have time to come to the airport?""Do you have time? What happened?"Annabelle sensed the seriousness in his tone, if it wasn't something very important, why would he want to meet her right after getting off the plane.Fabian on the other end of the phone remained silent for two seconds before saying, "It's

I wish it were you Chapter 930 Youthful Ambition
What Gauge wanted to discuss with Kendrick was a strategic collaboration between their two companies.Since stepping into the family business, Gauge had discovered a series of issues.Although Lin Jewelry appeared to be thriving, its narrow focus on a single line of business had left it vulnerable to serious challenges.Therefore, Gauge was planning to expand the jewelry and watch business within the next five years into leather goods, fashion products, and the perfume industry.He also proposed merging the group's original real estate construction division with a subsidiary of Gregory's Group. Murphy's Group would retain only a small share—essentially, a disguised sale to Gregory's.But the reason they couldn’t call it a sale outright was because Murphy's Group had started out in the construction industry. Gauge’s father, Simon, still held an emotional attachment to that legacy and couldn’t let go entirely.After the merger of the construction branches, Gauge hoped to acquire Gregory

At first, Annabelle didn’t understand what he was up to. It wasn’t until they were back inside the house that she realized—Kendrick thought she looked a little too sexy wearing his oversized T-shirt, especially since it made it seem like she wasn’t wearing anything on the bottom. It sparked a lot of imaginative thoughts.Annabelle was both amused and exasperated. She lifted the hem of the T-shirt to show him: “I am wearing shorts! They’re just... a little short. But still totally decent!”But Mr. Gregory was persistent. In the end, Annabelle gave in and changed into her own clothes.Once they were both dressed, they returned to the courtyard.Annabelle noticed Gauge hadn’t touched the watermelon and asked why—after all, it was set aside just for him.Gauge pulled a ten-hole blues harmonica from his pocket and said, “If I eat now, I won’t be able to play.”She knew harmonica players had to keep their mouth clean before playing.Then, Gauge handed her his guitar. “Since we’re just hang
I wish it were you Chapter 928 The Sweetest Part Is in the Middle
While Kendrick was cutting the watermelon, Annabelle couldn’t take her eyes off him.How strange—why did everything this man did seem so charming to her? Even slicing a watermelon looked handsome.It was as if her brain had automatically applied a beauty filter to him.Annabelle placed a hand over her chest, trying to calm her racing heart. But the more she tried, the faster it beat. The sweet words he had just whispered, every little expression and gesture of his, were now playing back in her mind like a movie…Kendrick held out the watermelon to her with a grin. “Little fangirl, stop staring. This handsome guy is your husband—100% confirmed.”Annabelle glared at him with a flushed face. “Narcissist!”Then she lowered her head, scooping out a bite of watermelon, determined to focus on eating.Just as she was about to take a bite, she noticed Kendrick had sat down.The other half of the watermelon was still sitting on the small stone platform by the well.“Aren’t you going to eat?”“Y

Annabelle smiled softly, her eyes twinkling with a mix of amusement and affection. "Why do you always have to compare everything?" she asked, her voice gentle and teasing."I just want to know," he replied, his voice low and earnest. He reached out and tucked a strand of Anna's hair behind her ear, his touch light but intimate. "What it feels like for you to be with me."Annabelle fell into deep thought, her gaze drifting away as she considered his question. The room was quiet, filled only with the soft sounds of their breathing and the occasional rustle of the sheets beneath them. After a while, she still hadn't answered. Kendrick sighed, a hint of frustration in his voice. "Is it really that hard to answer?""Hmm... it’s hard to describe," Annabelle murmured thoughtfully, her fingers playing with the edge of the blanket. "Before, when I was with you, just seeing you would throw my heart into chaos. My pulse would race, and I could hardly catch my breath. But now…” She trailed off, h
I wish it were you Chapter 926 Soft Soft
Annabelle hadn’t slept so soundly in a long time.When she lazily opened her eyes and looked out the window, she realized it was already dark.Ever since arriving at her grandma’s house and staying in this quiet little fishing village—far away from her usual life—it felt like she had escaped to another world. Her entire being relaxed, with nothing left to worry about.Kendrick didn’t have to stress over the corporation anymore either.Their biggest daily dilemma had become: what should we eat for the next meal?If only life could always be this carefree...Annabelle slowly sat up. After sleeping for so long, her whole body felt soft and mushy. She got out of bed and wandered into the courtyard, where she saw Kendrick sitting at the small table, smoking.When he heard her, he turned around.“Awake?”Kendrick stubbed out his cigarette and patted his thigh.Annabelle walked over without hesitation or shyness and naturally sat on his lap, arms around his neck, resting softly against his s
I wish it were you Chapter 925 Uncle
Kendrick’s face darkened. “It’s better to date someone older. Look at Mr. Murphy—he’s too young, can’t even cook. How’s he supposed to take care of a girlfriend?”Annabelle raised her eyebrows and gave the sly old fox a glance. Flicking the water off her hands, she smiled and said, “But younger guys are energetic—and no generation gap!”Kendrick let out a sharp “hmph.” “You think there’s a generation gap between us?”“I didn’t say us,” Annabelle teased, eyes twinkling. “Why are you jumping to conclusions? Having a midlife crisis already, Uncle?”The little bunny was obviously up to no good with that mischievous grin.Kendrick glanced at the loquat tree in the courtyard, then squinted at the sunlight filtering through its leaves, trying hard to stay calm.After all, he was turning 31 after the New Year. Couldn’t let a little girl get under his skin, right?But midlife crisis? Really?He was in his prime. A young man!So this young Mr. Gregory looked into the reflection on the glass. He
I wish it were you Chapter 924 I’m Your Future Wife
So Annabelle thought to herself—was Mr. Gregory being a little too proactive?Kendrick asked lightly, “So, do you want to go swimming with him alone?”He deliberately emphasized the word “alone,” as if suggesting she had ulterior motives. Annabelle could only respond, “...I never said that!”“Then that’s that,” Kendrick said calmly, taking her hand and leading her into the house.After a short rest, the three of them began preparing lunch.Gauge was every bit the privileged young master—clearly someone who’d never cooked at home before. He practically didn’t know how to do anything.He was too rough when washing vegetables, to the point of mangling the leaves.Then they had him try chopping vegetables—but the young master, with his obsessive need for precision, insisted on cutting everything perfectly uniform, each slice as neat as the next. At the rate he was going, they’d probably be eating tomorrow’s lunch.Kendrick and Annabelle didn’t even bother expecting him to cook anything. T

Afterward, the three of them returned to Grandma’s house first.Gauge waited in the courtyard while Annabelle and Kendrick brought the things they bought at the market into the house. After grabbing the ingredients they needed for lunch, the three of them headed to Gauge’s place together.When they arrived in front of the white guesthouse, Kendrick couldn’t help but chuckle.That morning, he and Anna had passed by this very spot. He had been wondering at the time—the place had a fresh, elegant architectural style. But there was no signboard, so maybe it wasn’t a guesthouse after all. If it was just a private residence, then it probably belonged to someone with means.Sure enough, his guess wasn’t far off. What he didn’t expect was that this would turn out to be Gauge’s home.After stepping through the front gate, Annabelle couldn’t help but marvel.To build such a charming little courtyard on this sloped hill must’ve taken a lot of thought and care.“Come in, rest a bit. Have some wat
I wish it were you Chapter 922 Just Like Last Night
As Kendrick was lost in thought, Annabelle called out to him, “Let me help you carry a couple of those.”Just moments ago, Kendrick had taken all the shopping bags from her hands—he was carrying everything by himself now.Seeing his forehead glistening with sweat, Annabelle, who now had empty hands, felt both guilty and worried.Kendrick looked back at her, smiled, and said, “I could carry you on my back too, no problem.”“Stop messing around, give me two bags.”Seeing how serious she looked, eyebrows furrowed and all, he finally gave in and handed her two of the lightest ones.But as soon as she took them, Gauge casually took them from her without saying a word.Annabelle: “…”She felt like she’d just become the middleman in a hand-off.Kendrick glanced at Gauge. “Thanks, Mr. Murphy.”His tone and look were both laced with provocation.Even Annabelle thought he was kinda asking for a punch right then.Gauge snorted coldly, “Don’t thank me. It’s not like I’m helping you.”“Tsk, brat…”
