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

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

Lisa was just thinking about how to deal with Annabelle. As soon as she heard that Annabelle had offered a painting by Melvin, she had an idea.Even Ethan didn't know Melvin. What could Lisa do? This was ridiculous.Ethan hurriedly said, "Hey, Lisa, if you want to appreciate the painting, why not wait until after the banquet...""Lisa, you don't want us to appreciate it openly. Are you afraid that Ms. Sanchez's painting is a fake?"That was a bit rude to say. Generous as Ethan was, he didn't take it to heart, though he felt a little embarrassed.Ethan replied lightly, "Annabelle will never give a fake one.""Why don't you let us appreciate it, Ethan? You are so stingy!"What Lisa said escalated the atmosphere. The guests around were old friends of Ethan, and they joined in, saying they wanted to appreciate the painting.Kendrick frowned unhappily, wanting to protect Annabelle from trouble. But after a moment of contemplation, he dismissed the thought.If something was concealed, it o

Marvin, as if enchanted, walked towards Annabelle. But suddenly, he noticed that Kendrick's hand was resting on Annabelle's waist.Marvin stopped in his tracks, and anger surged through him.His beloved woman was being embraced by another man openly.And Marvin didn't even have the qualification to stand by her side anymore.Marvin wanted to rush over immediately, pull Annabelle away from Kendrick's embrace, and then hold her hand, taking her home. Tomorrow morning, they would go to the City Hall to register for marriage...Fantasizing about these things, Marvin couldn't help but laugh out loud and felt even more bitter.He couldn't do that. Today was his grandfather's birthday banquet.In front of so many people, Marvin couldn't do crazy things again.Marvin closed his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he clenched his fist and restrained that impulse. Then he left the banquet hall.Lisa, who was resentful about the incident just now, saw Marvin's angry departure and had a brilliant i

"Don't flatter yourself." Annabelle turned her head away and stopped looking at Kendrick.From Annabelle's expression, Kendrick could tell that she was putting up a tough front.Kendrick really cared about his opinion.Realizing this, Kendrick couldn't help but smile."When Lisa was giving you a hard time, it wasn't because I was afraid you would humiliate me, but rather her actions annoyed me."After a pause, Kendrick continued patiently, "Besides, I don't know if you know Melvin or if you can tell authentic paintings apart. If you brought a fake painting, it was probably because you were deceived. In that case, I would say it was a painting I arranged and had nothing to do with you."Annabelle looked at Kendrick in front of her, her eyes flickering.It turned out that when Annabelle thought she was alone and helpless, Kendrick was not only standing up for her, but he had also thought of how to help her out.As for whether Annabelle knew Melvin, it seemed that Kendrick didn't care.

Lisa chatted with Annabelle for a few moments and then casually found an excuse to leave.Soon, Annabelle felt a wave of dizziness hit her.This was strange. She didn't drink alcohol. Why did she feel like she was drunk?Could it be too stuffy here?At that moment, a waiter approached Annabelle and said, "Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Gregory is waiting for you in the garden. He wants you to go over now."Did Kendrick finish talking with his friends so quickly? Why did he want her to go to the garden?Annabelle was feeling extremely dizzy and wanted to get some fresh air in the garden, so she left the banquet hall and headed toward the hotel's rear garden.Annabelle walked along the path and arrived at a secluded spot, but she failed to see Kendrick.A stronger wave of dizziness came over Annabelle, causing her to stagger and fall.Just when Annabelle thought she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of men's arms caught her shoulders."Are you drunk?"Annabelle lifted her head at the sound of t

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
I wish it were you Chapter 240 It's My Business
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
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

The car stopped outside the Murphy's residence, and after Annabelle got out, she went to the front gate with Kendrick.Kendrick rang the doorbell, and soon a man in his fifties came out to open the door."Good morning, Mr. Gregory and Mrs. Gregory! I am Kim Reid, the butler of the Murphy family. Sir is currently on a phone call in the living room, so I apologize for not being able to personally greet you. Please follow me."Annabelle was a little surprised and glanced at Kendrick.She thought she would come today just to meet Gauge, say thank you, and then go back. She didn't expect to also have a meeting with Gauge's father. Is it going to be this formal?Kendrick noticed her confusion and leaned in closer to her, whispering, "By the way, let's talk business."Annabelle nodded and didn't ask any more questions, following the butler into the house.Under the guidance of the butler, the two of them walked through the entrance hall and

Annabelle had completely lost her temper. When faced with a rascal, if you couldn't be even more rascally than him, you could only admit defeat.The two of them had breakfast and went out together. Kendrick was driving the car, and Annabelle was sitting in the passenger seat."Don't you have to go to the hospital for an infusion today?"Annabelle noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes and his complexion wasn't very good. She estimated that he hadn't slept well on the sofa last night, and combined with the fact that he had been poisoned before, she couldn't help but worry about him a little."No need, you promptly took me to the hospital and it didn't cause any serious damage.""So you have to thank Gauge."If it weren't for someone driving Kendrick over at three o'clock in the morning, the situation wouldn't have been so optimistic.Kendrick glanced at her and smiled, "Isn't this just to personally come and say thank you?"
I wish it were you Chapter 234 The Cost of Making Him Jealous
Kendrick's kiss was oppressive, suffocating, and completely passive for Annabelle.Soon, she felt herself severely lacking oxygen, feeling dizzy and her body starting to weaken.And it seems like Kendrick hasn't stopped yet.She had to pat Kendrick's back.Kendrick caught her restless little hand and lifted it above her head, pressing it onto the bed, and continued kissing her.Annabelle couldn't bear it anymore and let out a painful whimper.Kendrick then raised his head slightly and whispered, "This is the price that makes me jealous, remember?"Annabelle pouted her mouth, feeling wronged and on the verge of tears.She felt like the fish on the chopping board, Kendrick could chop and eat her however he pleased."Remembered."Annabelle was scared of this guy and didn't dare to be tough anymore. She had to soften her tone and asked him.Kendrick finally gave in to the little woman and lay down on his side,
