Annabelle rubbed her temples, it seemed that she really didn't remember anything about what happened later last night.
"What if, by the time he arrives, I'm already dead? Then won't you become a young widow?"
"Kendrick!"
As soon as Annabelle heard this, she became anxious and slammed the water cup onto the table, saying, "If it weren't for Gauge yesterday, you would have already been dead."
Seeing that he still didn't agree, Annabelle explained the cause and effect to him again.
After waiting for a full explanation, Annabelle herself became thirsty and directly drank half of the water poured for her.
Kendrick picked up the cup, finished the remaining drink, and said blandly, "What's the rush? Once I get discharged, I'll personally thank him."
"You have a conscience," Annabelle muttered.
Kendrick did not respond and then fell into deep thought.
Seeing him remain silent, Annabelle glanced at him and asked, "Are you thinkin
Annabelle got angry and said she was leaving.Just as I turned around, Kendrick grabbed me.He should have wanted to hold her hand, but because he was lying in bed, he didn't manage to hold it and only grabbed onto a corner of her clothing.Annabelle looked down at the large hand clutching her clothes, with an IV needle still inserted in the back of the hand.Looking at the big man on the bed again, the sharpness and dominance in his eyes were gone, replaced only by a melancholic expression, and even a touch of pitifulness.Annabelle's heart softened as she watched.Originally, there was a bit of nameless anger, but when the words of anger reached my lips, it became a complaining sentence, "Are you not allowed to leave?""Are you angry, or is there really something wrong?""There was really something."As for being angry, there was also a bit.Kendrick avoided her when she answered the phone, which made her feel u
"Are you sure?" Kendrick asked in a deep voice.He knew that Annabelle had her own small apartment. On the first day of their marriage, she said that they could live separately after getting married because she had her own house to live in.After they got married, she should not have gone back yet. This time, she suddenly said she had something to do and went to the apartment to meet Fabian, right?And Fabian was not abroad, right?"Confirmed."Afterwards, Jax passed over a photo.Fabian was wearing a casual suit and carrying a suitcase in his hand, while Annabelle walked beside him, holding a bag that seemed to contain green vegetables.Fabian was tall, and Annabelle walking beside him made her look even smaller, surprisingly matching, like a little couple.Kendrick's blood boiled instantly as he witnessed this scene. While he was sick, she brought another man home and even went grocery shopping and cooked with him?"I
"Here I come," Annabelle replied, and asked Jaime, "Is there anything else?"Jaime quickly said, "Madam, when did you come back? The president wanted to drink the soup you cooked!""I'm not sure, maybe in the afternoon. I have something to do, so I'll hang up first."In the ward.Kendrick's face was gloomy like a stormy day.Busy? Busy with making the bed and putting that kid to sleep?Although Kendrick believed that Annabelle and Fabian were innocent, it was hard to say when a man and a woman were living together alone.Jaime sighed and said to his boss, "Sir, don't mind me speaking out of turn, but if you're really worried, why don't you personally make a phone call and ask the madam to come back, or I can take you there to pick her up."Is face really that important? Now my wife is about to be taken away by someone, President!Jaime felt that he really worried a lot."You don't understand, this is called playin
Annabelle's face darkened slightly, "What did you find?"Fabian looked at her, caressed the back of his phone. He could have flipped the screen right now to show Annabelle what he had truly discovered in his investigation, but after hesitating for a moment, he continued to keep the phone face down on the table."He had been away from the Gregory family for two years. During those two years, everything about him was a blank. No one knew where he had gone or why he had suddenly disappeared for two years."Annabelle pondered for a moment and asked, "What are you worried about?"Fabian leaned forward, looking at her with concern, "You don't know Kendrick, there are too many mysteries surrounding him. I'm worried that you will get more and more involved and get hurt in the future."Annabelle breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She had long known that Kendrick had some stories she was unaware of, so she thought Fabian might be overreacting.
Annabelle's support for Fabian, as well as her portrayal of herself as a bad person, made Kendrick's heart ache.Was Fabian really more important in her heart?But no matter what, she was his wife now, so she had to go home with him!Kendrick grabbed Annabelle's arm.Annabelle, on the other hand, gasped in pain, as if it was too much for her to stand straight.Fabian immediately pushed Kendrick's hand away and supported Annabelle's shoulder, asking, "Still hurting?""Ouch!"Annabelle said with red eyes.The pain in his voice brought Kendrick back to his senses, if only for a moment.Annabelle's clothes were intact and she had neatly tied her hair behind her head, as if she hadn't just experienced that kind of thing.While she had a pained expression on her face, she was clutching her shoulder and gasping for breath.Her injury... was on her shoulder?Did Fabian just treat her injury?Kendrick
Kendrick ignored Fabian and turned to her, saying, "Anna, are you going back or not?"Annabelle was taken aback, "No, I won't go back."Fabian said that he would take her to his studio tomorrow. She thought it would be more convenient for both of them to leave from here tomorrow.Furthermore, Annabelle was still a little upset with Kendrick.Kendrick nodded, "Alright, then I won't go back either."After speaking, he immediately sat back on the sofa."But there's no place for you to stay," Annabelle said. Did he still want to share a room with her?Kendrick looked around and saw that the room was a two-bedroom, two-living room layout.That was her and Fabian, each having their own room, and her so-called husband naturally couldn't stay in her room."It's okay, I slept on the couch."Annabelle was speechless and finally managed to squeeze out a few words, "... Whatever."After saying that, she turned around a
Annabelle was shocked and whispered to Kendrick, "How did you get in? Get out quickly!""I didn't."Kendrick spoke, then he flipped over and firmly pressed Annabelle onto the bed.Annabelle was wearing a little nightgown, and she was pressed tightly against him, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed."Aren't you afraid that I will shout? Fabian is right next door, and he is very good at fighting."Her whispered threat sounded like a joke to Kendrick.He laughed and said, "I could beat him, you know. And I know you wouldn't dare to call for help, right?"In the dimness, cunning lights flickered in Kendrick's deep eyes.Annabelle bit her lip and could only glare angrily at this scoundrel.She really didn't want to wake Fabian up.What would Fabian think if he saw her hugging Kendrick like that?She had previously said that she wanted to divorce Kendrick and promised not to fall in love with him, but she sudden
Annabelle glanced at the screen and, to her surprise, it was a photo of her and Fabian returning to the apartment together!"Who sent it to you?"Seeing her nervous, Kendrick subtly raised the corners of his lips.I didn't expect that Jax took this photo, and it had this purpose."Anonymously, in order to extort me, they said that if I don't give them money, they will expose this photo, and tomorrow the whole Elfhedge will know that I have been cheated by you."Annabelle's mouth twitched.She didn't expect this consequence."Did you give the money?""Of course I gave it, otherwise, once this news is exposed, not only will I be mocked by others, but the outside world will also speculate that our relationship is breaking down and we are on the verge of divorce. The collaboration between the Sanchez family and the Gregory family will also not last long, which will definitely have a big impact on the Sanchez family and also affect
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
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?"
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,
