I wish it were you Chapter 27 Lisa's Embarrassment
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
Last Updated : 2024-12-18I wish it were you Chapter 34 Buying Roasted Chestnuts
In the evening.Kendrick drove to leave the company. When he stopped at a red light, he noticed a roasted chestnut store on the street.He recalled that last time in Springvale Temple, someone gave Annabelle a bag of roasted chestnuts. She seemed to like it very much.Then he remembered his employee saying that if you wanted to gain a cat's trust, you should feed her a meat pack.Maybe for Annabelle, roasted chestnuts were like the meat pack.Kendrick thought for a while. When he passed the crossroad, he parked the car alongside the street and was ready to buy the roasted chestnuts.He got out of his Pagani. His sports car and his long legs attracted people's attention.He had a good figure and wore tailored suits, just like a model.A woman screamed in her heart and secretly took a photo of him. She posted the photo on her Timeline and Twitter.If people like Kendrick appeared in front of a small roasted chestnut store, it was rare.Soon, Kendrick's photo became a trending topic on 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
I wish it were you Chapter 239 You Want to Be His Neighbor That Badly?
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
I wish it were you Chapter 238 Just Couldn't Help but Want to Treat Her Well
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,
