2025-02-27 18:09:43Kendrick 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."

"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
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-28I wish it were you Chapter 269 A Conflict
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

After Ethan finished scolding, he glared at his two grandsons and then walked away carrying the birdcage.Ethan has always been the one to call the shots at home, so both brothers had to listen to this reprimand.After Grandpa left, Marvin sneered at Kendrick, "Since they didn't get divorced, then do as Grandpa said and go find Anna. I want to see how long you can deceive us."With that, Marvin walked into the house.Kendrick was too lazy to explain to him and was about to enter the door when he was stopped by Ariana."Ken, stop deceiving yourself, okay?" Ariana probed, "Annabelle doesn't want you anymore, so why are you still waiting for her? I heard that before she married you, she had been with many other men..."Kendrick looked at Ariana coldly and said, "When did you become like this?"He became so calculating, so fond of stirring up trouble, that she was no longer the straightforward and innocent girl he once knew.Ariana

I wish it were you Chapter 920 Her Emotions Easily Affected Him
Annabelle took a moment to process. “You… saw us?”Last night, she and Kendrick had taken a bath in the courtyard.At the time, she had even joked with Kendrick that most villagers were elderly and went to bed early, so no one would be watching.Who would've thought Gauge had also come to the village yesterday—and happened to be staying somewhere higher up where he could see down?Kendrick had turned off the courtyard light, but the moon was so bright last night, like a giant lightbulb hanging in the sky. Who knew how much Gauge had seen?Annabelle felt utterly mortified. Her whole being was overwhelmed with awkwardness.Gauge’s expression wasn’t exactly natural either. He stiffly explained, “I didn’t watch the whole time!”Annabelle twitched at the corners of her mouth and glared at him.“What do you mean, didn’t watch the whole time?”Gauge cleared his throat and casually said, “At first, I noticed the courtyard light came on, so I glanced over. Then I saw it was you and Kendrick—I
I wish it were you Chapter 919 Fated Encounter
When Kendrick saw the person in the distance, his pupils shrank.Earlier that morning, he and Anna had taken a detour down the mountain and rested halfway. At that time, they’d seen an off-road vehicle, and the man who got out had looked familiar. Kendrick had thought he resembled Gauge, but since he hadn’t seen clearly and figured Gauge wouldn’t show up in a place like this, he didn’t give it much thought.Now it seemed he hadn’t been mistaken—it really was that guy.But the real question was—why was Gauge suddenly here?Had he come chasing after Anna?Anna was also quite surprised to see Gauge and muttered to herself, “Gauge came too?”“You didn’t tell him?” Kendrick asked with a slightly jealous tone.Anna shook her head. “Only Julissa knew I came back to my grandma’s house. I didn’t tell anyone else.”Kendrick nodded and said nothing more.Gauge had obviously spotted them as well and was now making his way through the crowd toward them.Just as he was about to greet them, the ecce

After returning home, the two of them started cleaning the fish they had bought.Annabelle thought Kendrick wouldn’t be good at such tasks and was ready to teach him. But to her surprise, he was even more skilled than she was. In the end, she became the young master’s assistant.At the same time, she couldn’t help but wonder: Was Kendrick’s experience with daily life too extensive?By all rights, he was a privileged young master—he probably never had to do any chores growing up. Later, as a CEO, he likely had no time even if he wanted to do them. But the way he handled things now made it seem like he had lived this kind of simple life before.A sudden image popped into Annabelle’s mind: Kendrick with another woman, helping her dress warmly, cooking for her…She suddenly realized that Kendrick seemed to know everything about her now, while she still only had a hazy understanding of his past.Her cheeks puffed out slightly as she brooded.Kendrick needed her help scooping water to rinse
I wish it were you Chapter 917 Thank You
Although it felt a little rude to decline, Annabelle still thought it over and said to Vincent,“I might have something going on tonight. Maybe next time, when I get the chance, I’ll visit your place.”She and Vincent were just childhood playmates. When they bumped into each other at the dock earlier, she hadn’t even recognized him right away.To say they had a deep bond—well, not really.Most of those childhood memories had already faded, leaving behind only a few amusing fragments.Plus, Anna wasn’t the type who liked dropping by people’s houses. This time, she’d come to visit her grandma’s, and all she wanted was a peaceful couple of days with Kendrick.And more importantly—Kendrick was already jealous.If the roles were reversed and Kendrick bumped into some childhood little sister and insisted on bringing her home for dinner, Annabelle wouldn’t be thrilled either.So, nope. She wasn’t going over to that "little brother’s" house for dinner.Vincent’s eyes dimmed for a second, but
I wish it were you Chapter 916 Careful, You Might Really Become My Brother
Anna nodded regretfully after hearing that. "I see..."Vincent glanced at the fish she was carrying and chuckled, "Why did you buy so little? Wait here, I’ll get you a couple more.""Hey, no need, bro—"Before Annabelle could finish, Vincent had already sprinted off in his rubber fishing boots.The next moment, Anna felt someone squeeze her hand."Hm?"She turned to look at Kendrick, thinking he had something to say.With a smile on his lips—but a hint of gritted teeth in his tone—he said, "I’m older than you by a few years, yet you never call me by my name?"Annabelle was momentarily stunned before realizing—this guy was jealous.The key issue was that this wasn’t the first time he had demanded to be called closely. There was even a time when he insisted she call him that—which was so disgustingly cheesy she couldn’t handle it.So she decided to mess with him. "You keep making me call you brother… Be careful, or we might actually become real siblings."Kendrick let out a chuckle. "Re

Back at Springvale Temple, Annabelle had mysteriously fainted in the mountains once as well. But unlike the dense forest of her childhood experience, the temple’s surroundings weren’t heavily wooded, nor was the air particularly thin.At the time, it was Young Master who had saved her, speculating that she might have an allergy to some plant. But that was just a guess.Since Kendrick disliked hearing her mention Young Master, she didn’t bring it up further. Instead, she joked, “Maybe I’m actually a fish—not really suited for life on land like you humans.”Kendrick took her hand, making her stop in front of him. He looked at her face seriously and said, “Let me see, where are Anna’s gills?”“You think I’d let you see them so easily?” Annabelle blinked mysteriously. “I keep them hidden.”Kendrick kissed her cheek before continuing, “Have you ever run into any other dangers?”Annabelle thought for a moment, then shook her head. “Not really.”Most of her memories at her grandmother’s hous

Annabelle waved at Kendrick with a playful smile. “Mr. Gregory, you’re way too slow~” Kendrick had his phone in hand and captured the moment she turned back to look at him. Perhaps it was because she had returned to the warmth of her grandmother’s home, but she seemed much livelier and more outgoing than usual. Thinking back to half a year ago, she was always on guard—like a wounded little beast, wide-eyed, quietly observing everything around her. At the slightest disturbance, she would either bristle or flee. But now, she was so cheerful. It was like she had become a completely different person. Kendrick suddenly had a rather self-satisfied thought—wasn’t he, at least in part, responsible for this change in her? By then, the little woman had already run back to him, pointing into the distance. “See that flag? The pier is over there. I used to go there with my grandma to buy fish.” Kendrick followed her gaze. Through the mist, a small red flag was faintly visible. He nodded. “

Early the next morning, Annabelle heard the faint rustling of clothes. She opened her eyes and saw that Kendrick was already dressed and about to head out.The sky was bright, but the sun had yet to rise.“Kendrick, where are you going?”Kendrick paused mid-step, then returned to the bedside, lifting the canopy and sitting down beside her.“Just taking a walk. It’s still early. If you’re sleepy, go back to sleep for a while.”Annabelle rubbed her eyes and pulled the thin blanket around her chest. Still drowsy, she sat up groggily. “I want to go with you.”Though she was still sleepy, the excitement of being back in her hometown had energized her. She didn’t want to waste time in bed—she wanted to go out and explore.Kendrick considered for two seconds before smiling. “Alright, but hurry and get dressed. If we go to the pier now, we might be able to buy some fresh fish from the fishermen.”Annabelle quickly got dressed and stepped into the courtyard, where she washed her face with the

Located in the southern region, remained warm even at night, with temperatures still hovering around the high twenties.Annabelle was only wearing a silk nightdress, and as Kendrick held her close, tiny beads of sweat began to form on the tip of her nose.“It’s too hot, Kendrick…”She tried to shift away from him, attempting to put some distance between them.However, Kendrick hooked his fingers around her delicate nightdress strap.“Then take it off.”As he spoke, he gently slid the thin strap down her shoulder. Under the dim, golden light, Anna’s fair, delicate skin gleamed like a piece of exquisite jade.Kendrick pressed a kiss to her shoulder, then trailed kisses up her neck.Annabelle’s breathing became unsteady. “Not here…”They were still sitting in the main hall, and even though she knew no one would come, she couldn’t shake the unease.Kendrick let out a low “Alright” before picking her up and carrying her into the eastern wing.The bed was already draped with sheer white cur
