Chapter 287 The Cost of Deceiving Him
Last Updated:
2025-03-02 18:02:50"It was written in the news," Annabelle replied.
"Gossip news? It was fake."
Annabelle blinked her eyes. She had always thought that Kendrick disliked gossip news exposing his own information, so if it was fake news, he would immediately have his people take it down, which is why she didn't suspect it.
Now thinking about it, there were so many small media outlets everywhere, even though Kendrick was talented, he probably didn't have the time to personally manage each one.
Well, even if the news was fake, that photo of us hugging, it couldn't be fake.
Thinking about the situation where the two of them embraced, Annabelle furrowed her brow again.
"Is Robin really your fiancé?"
Annabelle said irritably, "Didn't I say it before?"
"Did he ever kiss you?"
When asked, Kendrick had already narrowed his dangerous eyes, but Annabelle didn't turn around and couldn't see his expression, so she fearlessly said, "Of course."

Annabelle was tossed and turned by Kendrick's kiss, with countless chaotic thoughts flashing through her mind.I haven't seen him for so many days, so it would be a lie to say that I haven't thought about him at all.But reason told her that she should reject him, at least not now.Because the doctor said so, it is best not to have sexual intercourse within three months after the surgery. After three months, one should also be very cautious.Light comes not easily; it must be made to stop.But why did both hands become soft and tender, with fingertips involuntarily slipping into his hair, even emitting an unfamiliar soft and low hum...Until Jax's voice came from outside the door."Boss, Ariana has arrived and is waiting outside the mansion gate."Kendrick paused for a moment, leaving Annabelle's lips, and that long and powerful hand, which had been sliding towards her lower abdomen, also came to a halt."What did you co

She was not in a hurry...Without waiting for Annabelle to retort, Kendrick quickly planted a kiss on her cheek and left the room.After his footsteps faded away, Annabelle blushed and sat up, regretting her earlier loss of control. She then changed into that super cute pajamas, ran her fingers through her hair, and finally went downstairs.Kendrick was sitting on the main seat of the double sofa, while Jax stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, silent and alert.Ariana sat on a solitary sofa, looking uneasy. Her fingers were constantly twisting, and she dared not meet Kendrick's gaze.Watching her unnatural movements, Annabelle wondered what play Ariana was going to perform today.As soon as Ariana saw Annabelle approaching, she immediately stood up and looked at her eyes with concern, saying, "Annabelle, Ken just said that your eyesight has recovered, that's great! I've been worried about you.""Um, thank you... please have a seat."

Annabelle pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, I could understand your feelings.""I knew Annabelle would forgive me," Ariana exclaimed, her eyes welling up with excitement.Annabelle glanced lightly and felt a bit tired. She then said to Kendrick, "My eyes are uncomfortable, I need to rest early."Kendrick patted her hand and said, "Okay, wait a little longer."Then he turned to Ariana and asked, "I heard Seamus say that you were preparing to participate in a singing competition, so how did you suddenly come to Glubia?"Ariana blinked her eyes and then shyly tucked her hair behind her ear."Actually, I came to see my fiancé, but I unexpectedly saw you, Ken and Annabelle, at the banquet. I immediately followed and wanted to take the opportunity to explain the previous incident and hope that you can forgive my immaturity."As for this fiancé, he was actually someone who was introduced to her by someone else recently.

Kendrick paused for two seconds, "Crying, is it because your eyes hurt?"Annabelle nodded silently, "Didn't I just say that I had just finished the surgery...""Can any eye drops work? I have some common medications, but I don't know if you can use them."Kendrick was feeling frustrated, wondering why he was so careless. His wife had mentioned that her eyes were hurting, but he was still preoccupied with other thoughts.This time, Annabelle would definitely feel that he only cared about her body and didn't care about her at all.Seeing Kendrick so anxious, Annabelle felt a little sorry and wanted to say that it's not serious and not to worry. But when she thought about how he had just bullied someone, she continued to worry with a small face and said, "You need a special eye drops for inflammation, the regular ones won't work.""Okay, I'll go look for it," Kendrick said, running his hand through his hair before hastily leaving the bedroom.

"Not intense enough is not acceptable! Can't be too excited!"Seeing Kendrick's eyes darken, Annabelle felt like a fish lying on a chopping board, begging for mercy with almost no hope.Kendrick gently stroked her hair, then ran his fingers along her face, finally letting out a long sigh."When can that be, I asked seriously."Annabelle had already forgotten that even if they were to meet again, it would still be a marriage of convenience, and she had also forgotten her previous determination to leave him.Just like being enchanted by his gaze, she blushed and stammered, "Th... Three months later, I guess."Kendrick smirked, "Anna, I could go ask the doctor myself.""Two months, two months later."Annabelle wished she could cover herself completely with a blanket. What was she doing, agreeing to meet him at that time..."Okay, then I'll wait until you fully recover."Afterwards, both of them washed up and returned

Kendrick finally did not make the call.Dealing with Emilia's situation was more difficult than he had imagined, as it became somewhat complicated once emotions were involved. Thinking about Emilia's current state, he sighed and decided to wait a little longer before saying anything.Kendrick quietly returned to the bedroom, and Annabelle was still sleeping soundly.He was afraid of his impulsiveness, so he took a cold shower before lying down. However, his body was still getting hotter and hotter. After Annabelle fell asleep, she wasn't particularly well-behaved. In no time, she turned over and hugged his waist.Lying face to face like this, Kendrick was increasingly lost in his thoughts until the latter half of the night, when the moon emerged from behind the clouds and shone on her face. Only then did Kendrick's body calm down.It has been so many days since they parted, but in fact, she was also thinking about him, right?Why else would

Kendrick could tell from her little expression that she was angry. Even though he shouldn't be happy when a woman is angry, Kendrick felt an unprecedented joy in his heart.She would be jealous, angry, and would question him early in the morning, precisely because she cared about his performance.So Kendrick recounted, sentence by sentence, the events of that day when he, Marvin, and Ariana met outside the old house, and he explained what the hug was all about.Annabelle sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair one by one, as if she was absent-minded and not listening, but not a single word was missed.After Kendrick finished explaining, he walked behind her, embraced her shoulders from behind, and kissed her neck, asking, "Are you still angry?"Annabelle was originally angry, but now she can't really afford to be.She had been completely captivated by the almost naked man in the mirror.Seeing such a stimulating scene ear

"You are not allowed to mention that Master in front of me, otherwise I would get jealous and want to devour you."Annabelle could tell that Kendrick really cared about Master's matter.However, even if it is not mentioned now, Master cannot be avoided in the future."Master has been kind to me, and I promised him that I would repay him no matter what requests he made in the future."So even if Master asked her to leave Kendrick, Annabelle would still agree..."Then let's wait until he makes the request," he said, and then he kissed Annabelle again.If Master really came to snatch people, Kendrick would also stop him at all costs. In short, it is impossible for him to let his wife be given to someone else.The two of them were kissing passionately, unwilling to part. Suddenly, a child's clear voice rang out from the villa, "Annabelle, Dad is calling you to come home for breakfast!"Kendrick opened his eyes and looked at the wom

I wish it were you Chapter 940 Desire Fades
Seraphina understood exactly what Dereon meant—he was suggesting she sleep with the Young Master.But would sleeping with him really make him love her more?Seraphina knew very well: the reason the Young Master still had some affection for her was precisely because she knew her place and respected boundaries.She didn’t want to do anything that might make him hate her.Looking out the cabin window, Seraphina said calmly, “If the Young Master wanted me, of course I’d be willing… but I’m not going to take the initiative to do something so unnecessary.”“How is it unnecessary?!”Dereon slapped his thigh in frustration. Blood was still trickling down his forehead, running past his brow and onto his nose, making him look a little frightening. But his expression was that of a sleazy pimp, and Seraphina found it laughable.“You don’t have to convince me,” she said. “I have my own thoughts on this.”“Seraphina, you don’t understand men,” Dereon lowered his voice. “If you can hold on to the Yo

Ryan said, “That wasn’t the best opportunity just now.”“Why not?”Ryan rubbed his temples in exhaustion. “Can you use your brain before asking questions?”Seraphina quickly jumped in, “Dereon, didn’t you see that Gauge was also there?”“So what if Gauge was there?” Dereon retorted. “That kid clearly can’t fight.”Seraphina patiently explained.First, the Young Master didn’t hide his movements on this trip to South City. Running into Kendrick here was purely by chance.They weren’t prepared. Acting rashly could have led to failure.Even if they succeeded, since their movements weren’t concealed, it would be easy for the Gregory family to trace the incident back to them. And that old man from the Gregory family is no pushover.Second, Gauge was present. He’s friends with both Kendrick and Annabelle. There’s no way he’d stand by and do nothing.If Gauge got dragged into the mess, the Young Master would be making an enemy out of the Murphy family for no reason.The the Whitney Group is j

A private jet bound for Elfhedge took off smoothly from the South City airport.Inside the cabin, Annabelle was lying in a luxurious bedroom.Ryan stepped out of the room and said to Seraphina, who was standing outside the door, “She was poisoned by a type of floral toxin. It causes hallucinations and unconsciousness. She's fine now. Go get a clean set of clothes for her. I’ll help her change.”“It’s already prepared,” Seraphina’s gaze flickered slightly. She tightened her grip on the clothes in her hand and lowered her head. “Young Master, let me do it. This dress is a bit tricky to put on…”Ryan glanced at the dress in her hands, then looked deeply into her eyes. After a moment, he let out a bitter laugh. “Alright… if Anna knew I changed her clothes, she’d probably hate me even more.”Seraphina said nothing. Once Ryan stepped aside, she walked in with her head lowered.She carefully helped Annabelle out of her soiled clothes and put on the dress she had brought with her for the trip

Anna shook her head and smiled. “Nothing really. Let me do the cleaning—you’re definitely not as meticulous as I am. You go wait outside.”“No need…”“Go on, I’ll take care of it.”Annabelle was firm and took the duster from Gauge’s hand.But Gauge didn’t leave. How could he let a girl do the work while he waited outside enjoying the breeze?So the two of them cleaned together.While cleaning the room, Annabelle felt oddly emotional. Her mind was flooded with thoughts.Who was the woman who had once lived here? What kind of story did she have? What kind of mood had she been in when she left the village to live in solitude by the sea?As she wiped the mirror on the vanity, she could almost picture a woman sitting there, grooming herself in days long past.She must have been someone melancholic, yet strong-willed.A sudden wave of sadness welled up from deep within Annabelle’s heart.She couldn’t help but laugh at herself. Am I too empathetic? Why else would she feel so much for a compl
I wish it were you Chapter 936 Who Is She?
“Let’s go,” Gauge called out to her.Annabelle snapped out of her thoughts and walked toward the small wooden cabin.Gauge pointed to a patch of land behind the cabin and said that it used to be a small garden. There had once been a large tree with a wide canopy, and his father had installed a swing on one of its sturdy horizontal branches.Back then, his father often sat alone inside the cabin, sipping a couple of drinks.Meanwhile, Gauge would sit outside on the swing, watching the sea and listening to music.Looking at the now overgrown garden, Gauge showed a hint of melancholy.“Unfortunately, the big tree was cut down later, and since no one took care of the garden, it fell into disrepair. When my dad came here last year, he said he regretted not being able to maintain it.”Annabelle listened quietly. It seemed Murphy's father had deeply cared about whoever used to live here.Gauge had said before that he wasn’t sure if the person was a man or a woman—he just guessed it was a wom
I wish it were you Chapter 935 The Big Boss Is Sick
Annabelle transformed visibly from a sweet little bunny into a puffed-up pufferfish, cheeks bulging with frustration.She got up to leave, but Kendrick pulled her back into his arms. He poked her puffed cheeks and chuckled,"You're really that scared someone’s going to steal me away?""If you could be stolen that easily, then you’re not worth liking."Annabelle wasn’t insecure to the point where a single text message from Kendrick would make her suspicious.But it was late, and the sudden calls and texts clearly meant something was going on.Still… she had to admit, she was just a tiny bit jealous."You jealous of Jaime too? I was on the phone with him," Kendrick laughed as he handed over his phone so she could see the call log.Annabelle glanced at it—sure enough, the call happened while she was playing the guitar. The corners of her lips twitched upward, but she still insisted stubbornly,"I said I was just casually asking."Kendrick then pulled up their group chat—the one with Jaim
I wish it were you Chapter 934 Hopelessly in Love
Kendrick’s kiss was too passionate—so passionate it was suffocating, instantly awakening every cell in Annabelle’s body.His kiss was also too forceful—so forceful that Annabelle forgot to resist, and didn't want to resist.Because when Kendrick desired her so intensely, she too was equally, fiercely craving him.It suddenly dawned on her—she truly, deeply liked this man above her. She liked his scent, liked his voice, even liked the beads of sweat trickling down his spine.When did she fall this hard?Maybe it started back when they were ambushed and narrowly escaped death… when they lived in the hospital together… when she risked falling just to climb over the balcony and see him.When she brought herself to his bed, faced her feelings for the first time, and accepted him both emotionally and physically—she had already fallen.As for her heart… it had been open to him long before that.Maybe it started with his first kiss. From that moment, her heart had already begun to waver—she j
I wish it were you Chapter 933 Mr. Gregory Is So Wronged
After his cold shower, Kendrick returned to the room and climbed into bed, but he still felt a bit restless.He gazed at the little woman for a while. She looked exhausted.Not wanting to wake her, he gently pulled her nightdress down and tucked the blanket securely around her.Then he turned around, facing away from her, closed his eyes, and tried to sleep.But in the twenty-something-degree room, Annabelle, now wrapped like a little cocoon, soon got uncomfortable and kicked the blanket off again.Not only that—she rolled over and draped her arm around Kendrick’s waist, hugging him from behind.Maybe because Kendrick’s body was still slightly cool from the cold shower, Annabelle loved the chilly "big body pillow" and even pressed her warm little face against his back.While tightly hugging her “old fox,” she continued her dream, still playing chess with the god of dreams.Kendrick let out a long sigh and gently held the hand around his waist, playfully tickling her palm.She didn’t w
I wish it were you Chapter 932 I Believe in Love Again
Kendrick chuckled helplessly. “She really doesn’t use her phone much, so there’s no need to worry about her finding out on her own.”He’d seen Anna’s phone interface before—it was mostly filled with practical apps like dictionaries and period trackers. The usual social media apps? She had tucked them all away in a folder labeled "Rarely Used."Thinking of his quirky little wife, Kendrick’s mood lightened significantly.Of course, he knew that in this internet era, Anna might eventually come across the gossip herself. That’s why he hoped, by the time she did, he would have already taken care of everything.Then, when she found out, she’d know exactly where the "arrow" came from—and see clearly what became of the person who fired it.That way, she wouldn’t feel too anxious or wronged. At most, she’d just complain about how shameless the rumor-spreader was.It was the best way Kendrick could think of to minimize the harm.“Alright. I promise,” Gauge said solemnly.“Then that’s all,” Kend
