"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. H

    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

    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

    There were only four people in this group, Kendrick, Seamus Morse, Scott Nichols, who was the present of the Nichols Group, and Ariana Murphy. They knew each other from childhood.Kendrick parked the car in the garage and glanced at his phone.Seamus was surprised. "Did I see wrong? The busy Mr. Gregory was waiting in line to buy roasted chestnuts? @Kendrick"Kendrick replied, "Are you jealous?"Seamus was speechless and replied, "Please be nice to singles."Scott asked, "Ken, when will you hold a wedding? I've prepared a big gift for you."Kendrick replied, "No plan right now."Ariana replied, "Ken, when will you lead Annabelle to see us?"Actually, Kendrick wanted to bring Annabelle to see his friends. Last time, his grandfather's birthday banquet was a good occasion. However, Lisa suddenly appeared and then Annabelle got drunk. They had to leave early that day.And only their family members knew that they had registered. They didn't tell the public, and even his friends didn't know

    Annabelle heard her name and walked out. She asked what it was.The errand boy handed the supplements to her and said, "Please sign for it.""I didn't buy this. Who sent it here?""Marvin Gregory."She wondered why Marvin suddenly sent this to her.Annabelle felt strange and glanced at Kendrick beside her.Kendrick didn't know what happened either."Please send it back. I'll pay for it."When the errand boy left, Marvin got a message. Then he called Annabelle."Anna, why do you send it back? These supplements are good for girls. It's good for your health...""I have everything I need. I don't want this. And don't send me these things later."After that, Annabelle hung up the phone.Marvin looked at his phone and was deep in thought.He wondered, "It's impossible that she has everything she needs.But it might be true that Annabelle doesn't need these. After all, she was so beautiful and her skin was delicate and fair. She doesn't need these supplements. I'm so silly. I should think ab

    Annabelle's expression froze. She turned her head, stared at him, and wanted to break free from him.Kendrick whispered into her ear, "Don't move. Someone is watching us."Annabelle widened her beautiful eyes in anger, but she believed in him and stopped resisting. She then said to the person on the screen, "I have things to do. Gotta go."The video call finally ended.Kendrick glanced at the face of that person and found it familiar. However, Annabelle's phone screen had turned dark, so he didn't have the chance to take another look.The soft and smooth hair of the woman in his arms was stuck to his chest, making him feel somewhat restless."Is that guy still there?""He's gone." Kendrick let go of her."Where was he? Why couldn't I see him?" asked Annabelle."Over there." Kendrick pointed at the fence and began to make up a story. "It's a competitor of my company who lives in the same housing complex as us. If he learned that our relationship was fake and spread it, it would be a bi

    Secret.Kendrick glanced at the woman in front of him, savoring those two words."Drink it while it's hot and rest early."After Annabelle finished speaking, she hurriedly left the study.Her affectionate and absent-minded look, all fell into Kendrick's eyes. He picked up the bowl of soup and took a sip, somehow suddenly feeling that there was a hint of sourness in the soup today.Two days later in the evening, the doorbell rang twice.Kendrick had not returned yet when Annabelle heard the doorbell ring, so she went to open the door and saw Trey carrying a white foam box."When the old man went fishing at the sea, he personally caught some, and he also bought some fresh ones early in the morning from the fishermen. I will bring you some."After Annabelle understood, she quickly went to pick up the box, while Trey hurriedly hid."Mrs. Gregory, don't touch it anymore. It's quite heavy. I'll put it in the fridge for you, so you can cook and eat it as soon as possible.""Okay."Annabelle

    Kendrick let the little woman pound his chest. It didn't hurt anyway, it felt more like scratching an itch, and each hit landed right on his heart.When Annabelle had finished venting, and was about to withdraw her hand, Kendrick grabbed her fist."Little White, for you, I gave up my life, and yet you still hit me."Annabelle frowned and glared at him, "What do you mean, you clearly put my life at stake too!""Okay, okay, calm down," Kendrick lowered his head and kissed her fist, then rubbed her head. "Good girl, I didn't want you to lose."Annabelle was dumbfounded on the spot as she listened to his teasing.At the engagement banquet, she must have had a wrong idea and couldn't think straight, why did she provoke this person!Annabelle didn't want to deal with the man beside her anymore. She pulled her hand away and wanted to get off the car to get some fresh air. However, when she glanced at the bustling crowd outside, she felt that it was too noisy and immediately felt annoyed.

    Under the envious and jealous gaze of women, Annabelle was tightly held by Kendrick's hand as they walked all the way to the car.After Marvin saw Annabelle coming over, he was momentarily dazed. Having her present to watch only made Marvin's blood boil even more, and he couldn't help but want to immediately compete and win her back home.But when he heard Kendrick say that he would be carrying Annabelle for the race, he frowned and said, "Have you thought about it? Carrying one more person means giving me more than just a 20-meter disadvantage."Kendrick chuckled, "Just wanted to make you run 20 meters."Marvin gritted his teeth and silently got into the car. He lightly pressed on the gas pedal, and the roaring engine sounded like his anger and defiance.Annabelle also got into Kendrick's car and Kendrick helped her fasten her seatbelt.The race officially began, and two top-level racing cars flew out of the starting line.As Kendrick said, his car was stable, but only in the initial

    Annabelle hesitated for a moment, then opened the car door.Since we have already come, we might as well go and take a closer look. Otherwise, staying in the car doesn't feel secure.She wore a mask and a baseball cap, following Raphael through the bustling crowd, and arrived at the front position. Separated by a soft barrier, she looked towards the middle of the racetrack."Kendrick's car didn't look very good, is it still working?"Annabelle didn't understand cars, she just judged by their appearance. She thought that the GTR looked far less impressive compared to Marvin's Bugatti Veyron.Raphael laughed and said, "My brother-in-law's car is modified. You can't just judge by its appearance. If you open the hood and take a look, it might cost more than a Bugatti Veyron for a complete set."After hearing Raphael's words, Annabelle felt a little relieved. It seems that Kendrick didn't act recklessly, but rather had some skills."Would that be dangerous?"Raphael tugged at the corner of

    At ten o'clock that night, Coastline Avenue.This was a popular racing spot, and as soon as night fell, racing enthusiasts gathered here.Annabelle sat in a discreet black Mercedes sedan by the roadside, looking towards the starting point of the racetrack.The car engine roared, deafeningly loud, as the obnoxious high-pitched music stimulated her eardrums. There were also those excessively excited men and women, some screaming loudly, while others engaged in passionate and explicit kissing.The darkness covered those hidden actions and transactions, and also magnified their desires infinitely.Annabelle raised the car window, shutting out the outside noise, and rubbed her temples with a headache.She didn't want to come, but this confrontation ultimately started because of her.And the racing activity, filled with danger, made it impossible for Annabelle to peacefully read at home.After much hesitation, she dialed her brother Raphael's phone number.She didn't know exactly where Kend

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 55 Using Her as a Bet

    Annabelle suddenly widened her eyes, and at that moment, she had one thought - she hadn't brushed her teeth! And neither had she...Fortunately, Kendrick didn't French kiss, he only kissed her lips and left after a moment.Kendrick seemed to have noticed her thoughts and chuckled as he playfully tapped her nose, "We've already shared a bed, so why are you still acting so distant?"The two words "slept with" were deliberately emphasized by him, which frightened Annabelle and made her face turn pale. She abruptly pushed Kendrick away.In fact, she just slept deeply last night. If Kendrick really did that to her, she couldn't have not woken up. But she couldn't help but confirm again that her thin strap nightgown was intact and her body didn't feel any discomfort."By the way, what is that piece of clothing placed in the entrance hall?" Kendrick asked.Annabelle just remembered about Gemma and Marvin."What Marvin brought.""Did he find you again?" Kendrick frowned unhappily, feeling a s

    Marvin firmly passed the clothes through the crack in the door."I bought this dress for you, although it's not exactly the same as yours, but it's also a limited edition new design by Master Fey. If you don't want it, you can tear it up and throw it away."Annabelle refused to take it, so he forcefully shoved it into her hand."Anna, I will come back tomorrow to teach you how to drive.""...No need, even if you came, I wouldn't learn from you."Marvin, however, smirked and a hint of mischief flashed across his handsome face, "See you tomorrow!"Watching the blue sports car roaring away, Annabelle was filled with frustration and speechless.How could there be such arrogant and self-opinionated people?Annabelle shook her head and walked back into the villa, carrying her clothes. She casually placed the million-dollar outfit at the entrance and proceeded to tidy up her plants and flowers.Annabelle spent the rest of the afternoon in flower arranging, which was quite enjoyable.As for G

    Annabelle furrowed her brows, she and Kendrick didn't have anything going on, how did Marvin find out?"I had a good relationship with Kendrick."After finishing speaking, Annabelle turned her head to look outside the window. Regardless of how he knew, she wanted to discuss this topic again.Marvin also noticed that Annabelle didn't want to talk, so he patiently remained quiet, although his mood had already changed from before.Actually, he was just pretending earlier, but of course he had some basis for pretending.He accidentally overheard Trey and Kendrick talking on the phone, asking Kendrick to take the initiative in that aspect.He had doubts at that time, but he was not sure yet. Seeing Annabelle's unnatural expression at that moment, his suspicions were confirmed, and he couldn't help but feel delighted. Silently in his heart, he vowed to make sure Anna would return to his side.Finally, he brought Annabelle home and helped her carry the flowers back to the garden. As if casua

    The car window rolled down, and Annabelle caught sight of Marvin's handsome face, full of wildness and arrogance."Anna, get in the car, I'll give you a ride."He spoke very naturally, as if the two of them were very familiar.Since Annabelle already knew his feelings for her, she naturally wouldn't get in his car. Anyway, she could always hail a taxi in ten minutes."No need."After finishing speaking, Annabelle moved the flowerpot towards the back of her car and continued to hail a taxi.Marvin got off the car directly.He came to Annabelle's side, smiled at her stubborn face, and without saying a word, he picked up the flower pot she had placed on the ground and walked straight to the car."Hey, Marvin!"However, Marvin, who was tall and had long legs, had already placed the flowers on the car in just two steps."I didn't need you to give me a ride."As she spoke, she was about to take the flower down, but Marvin stood in front of the car door."Anna, you don't have to hide from me
