I wish it were you Chapter 26 One-Sided Love
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

Kendrick put his big hand on her wrist and let her lean on him.Annabelle looked at Kendrick's face in a careful manner. Kendrick looked cold, and she had no idea what he was thinking.But Annabelle felt wronged. Honestly, wasn't it because Kendrick annoyed Lisa? Then Lisa became jealous of Annabelle. And then it happened."It's not what you think," Annabelle whispered.Annabelle was innocent. Even though she only had an agreed marriage with Kendrick, she had to explain it.Kendrick did not respond and directly carried her up.Then he said to Marvin, "Now, Annabelle is your sister-in-law. If you don't want outsiders to laugh at you again, don't do such a misleading thing."With that, Kendrick strode out of the banquet hall.Marvin hated it when he saw his beloved woman being picked up and taken away by another man.Besides, this man was his elder brother, whom he had hated and never surpassed since childhood."Ken!" Lisa called anxiously.Kendrick didn't stop.She shouted to Kendrick'

They finally got into the car.As soon as Annabelle sat in the passenger seat, she began to look for something to drink. Kendrick had already handed over a bottle of water and the lid of the bottle had been unscrewed.Annabelle said thanks and took over the water. She took two pills out of her bag and swallowed them with the water."What is that?" Kendrick asked doubtfully."What?" Annabelle stared at Kendrick, "Oh, well, the sobering antidote. It was prepared for you."Kendrick laughed, "Did you think I would get drunk?"In fact, Kendrick had been so obedient lately that he didn't drink at all, even at his grandfather's party just now.But Annabelle obviously didn't believe him."I don't know. You love to drink so much," Annabelle muttered, pulling her seat belt. "Who knows what you scoundrel will do to me when you're drunk?"As Annabelle said that, she inserted the seat belt into the slot. But somehow, her head was dizzy, and her hands were out of control. So she didn't make it.Ken

Kendrick was surprised by this answer. It turned out that the proud Annabelle was afraid of being left behind."Just this?""Hmm..." she murmured and then gradually closed her eyes.Kendrick looked at Annabelle beside him again. He shook his head and thought she fell asleep so quickly.Then, he turned down the air conditioner.On the third day after Ethan's birthday banquet.Kendrick held a morning meeting in the company. The marketing director was reporting on the project of a newly developed resort.The marketing director said that the feature of this resort was that they had special services for pets. The customers could bring their pets to have a vacation here.Thus, those people who had pets but felt it was inconvenient to bring pets out, would not worry about it.On the screen, it was a picture of a man playing with a white kitty.Kendrick was in a trance and suddenly thought of Annabelle.That day, he drove the drunk Annabelle home. She woke up as she got out of the car. She kn

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
I wish it were you Chapter 929 The Old Fox Is Hiding Something
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
I wish it were you Chapter 927 Still Say You Don't Love Me?
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
I wish it were you Chapter 923 Even the Young Master Needs to Make His Presence Known
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…”
