Chapter 263 She Woke Him Up
Huling Na-update:
2025-02-27 18:08:14Kendrick was probably really tired from the day and he talked with Annabelle for a while before quickly falling asleep.
Annabelle, however, could not fall asleep. She lay quietly in Kendrick's arms, thinking about every single thing that had happened between the two of them from the moment they met until now.
Time flies, fate is shallow... I never expected that, it is about to end.
Although it was a marriage of convenience from the beginning, and they knew that there would be a moment of separation sooner or later, with Master's return, Annabelle also had to fulfill the promise she once made to Master and put divorce on the agenda.
But plans couldn't keep up with the changes, so in order to prevent Kendrick from committing crimes for her sake, she had to leave early.
The only regret is that I could only choose this way of leaving without saying goodbye.
Annabelle snuggled up to him again, on their last night, she just wanted to let her guard

Kendrick walked back directly and kissed her on the lips.The dragonfly's gentle kiss on the water made Annabelle's face slightly blush.Immediately, she heard Kendrick's voice coming from her ear, saying, "Anna, if you have something to say to me, tell me now.""No.""Really?"She nodded earnestly, her heart beating rapidly. If Kendrick were to touch her pulse right now, he would discover that she was lying.But Kendrick didn't do anything, it seemed like he was just asking casually earlier. He rubbed her head and said, "Wait for me obediently, I'll bring you stir-fried chestnuts in the afternoon."Afterwards, Kendrick left the ward and called the bodyguard aside, instructing, "Do not stop the lady from doing anything or going anywhere she wants today."The bodyguard was taken aback, "Boss, does that mean the madam...?""Don't worry, I had made arrangements and you can report to me anytime.""Yes, Boss."I

"Not Ryan?"Because Annabelle had been acting strangely after Ryan went to see her, Kendrick always thought that she was going to elope with Ryan."That person was a Crystalironese noble, and it seems that he had no connection with Ryan."Kendrick's face looked even worse, huh, Annabelle really had quite a wide network!Jaime had long noticed that the president's face was extremely pale, but there were some things that needed to be asked, so he mustered up the courage and asked, "President, what about the surgery tonight...""She was about to leave, what else was she doing?"Kendrick turned off the phone screen, casually threw it on the table, and was in an exceptionally bad mood."That cornea...""No need," Kendrick said coldly. "When she's willing to come back, then we'll find someone suitable."The pair of corneas to be used tonight were obtained by him through some friends from the black market. He said

Hospital.Annabelle had already done the final round of mental preparation for her escape.Goodbye Kamila, goodbye Gauge, goodbye college life, and everything she didn't have time to take away, including her beloved lute and piano.As for the jade bracelet in her hand, she couldn't wear it anymore, so she took it off, felt her way to the bedside table, and opened the drawer to put it in.She knew that once she took this step, there would be no turning back.And absolutely under no circumstances can Kendrick be allowed to catch it back, otherwise not only will we have to commit crimes together, but we will definitely also have to endure a good "punishment" from him.Annabelle rubbed her temples, trying to rid herself of those random thoughts, and waited quietly.At noon, Ariana, dressed as a nurse, arrived in the ward.She made sure in advance that Kendrick was not there, and took advantage of the gap when the caregivers and nur

In a Mercedes car.Assistant Tao dialed Robin's phone number and, during the call, Robin informed Annabelle about the upcoming schedule.He would have had Tao, his assistant, take her home to get her passport and other documents, and then they would have gone to the airport to fly to Fogedge.After arriving, someone would take her to Ironbay Island by boat, because the visa to go there was flexible, so they temporarily let Annabelle go there to take shelter. Moreover, there were also Robin's friends on the island who could help her.Meanwhile, Robin would also arrange accommodation for Annabelle at Glubia and personally go to pick her up, as Robin was currently in Glubia and couldn't make it over.Annabelle's eyes, Robin would also continue to help her find doctors for treatment, as well as any other details regarding living abroad, she didn't need to worry about.Annabelle was very grateful for Robin's generous help.Robin said, "Don

Annabelle suddenly woke up, clutching her chest in fear, and even instinctively touched her own ear...Assistant Tao quickly asked her what was wrong, if she was feeling uncomfortable anywhere.Annabelle shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare. How long have we been flying?""Not even an hour yet."It had only been an hour, but Kendrick probably realized she was missing. Hopefully, he wouldn't be able to track her down...In fact, shortly after their plane took off, Jax boarded another private plane and flew away from Elfhedge.Kendrick and his assistant arrived at the empty ward.He finished reading the text message sent by Annabelle.Originally, Annabelle thought that he was going to kill Lisa and take her corneas, in order to prevent him from committing a crime, she hurriedly fled.As for asking him to swear not to retaliate against Lisa and saying that he didn't want him to commit crimes for he

Kendrick thought about the text message that Annabelle had sent.The little woman had a carefree tone, even saying that she would get divorced sooner or later, just a little earlier. She also said that she would live a good life, as if the time she spent with him was just a small episode in her life, and she could turn the page and move on."Who is that Robin, and what is his relationship with Annabelle?"He didn't want to immediately bring Annabelle back, but he also didn't feel at ease leaving Annabelle outside like that. At the very least, he needed to make sure that the person who took her away posed no threat to himself.Jaime was very focused and immediately answered the key points. Robin had a beloved wife, and the two of them were good friends with the lady.In addition, Robin came from a noble family and was a very capable person. With his help, the lady must have been able to withstand all kinds of grievances.Kendrick nodded, "The

After Ariana came over, Marvin temporarily stopped.He said to Kendrick, "I am also tired of lecturing you. Anyway, Ariana told me that you and Annabelle have already signed the divorce agreement. Although I don't know where Annabelle is now, I will find her sooner or later and marry her!"Kendrick ignored Marvin's words and instead glanced at Ariana.Ariana hurriedly explained, "That day when I went to the hospital to visit Annabelle, she told me herself that she planned to divorce you and had already prepared the divorce agreement... I accidentally told Marvin just now..."She still looks so innocent. If it were in the past, Kendrick wouldn't have any doubts about Ariana's words, but now..."Was it really an accident?" Kendrick asked coldly.Ariana's face stiffened, and she cautiously said, "Ken, what do you mean..."Kendrick didn't answer. He had arranged a time with his father and didn't want to be late. As for Ariana's various be

Kendrick quickly said that he had a lot of work in the company and couldn't spare the time.This time, Grandfather directly hit him on the shinbone with a knock."Your younger brother has just returned. Let him temporarily take care of the company for you and also give him some experience. You go abroad with Annabelle and accompany her well."Kendrick's leg was hurting, but he gritted his teeth and dared not rub it because his grandfather despised men being weak. He had no choice but to endure the pain and obediently respond, "Alright, I'll listen to you."Unexpectedly, Grandpa said again, "You leave today, and tomorrow I want to see a video of you two walking the dog together!""Tomorrow I was not available to go."Ariana, who was standing by, took the opportunity to speak up, saying, "Ken, you better not deceive Grandpa anymore."She didn't believe that Ken had received Annabelle's video.In the video, Annabelle's eyes were n

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

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…”
