I wish it were you Chapter 318 Unbearable
In the cramped space, Kendrick's breath instantly enveloped her, his handsome face magnified infinitely, making her feel as if she had been immobilized by a spell, unable to move, her heart pounding.A few brief seconds later, he released Annabelle. "This is the tuition fee for each day, but next time you have to pay it voluntarily."Annabelle blinked her eyes and said, "Is that all?"Kendrick glanced up and asked with a smile, "So what else do you want?""No, no, just like this is fine!"Although this person took advantage of her at every opportunity, which was very dishonest, Annabelle could still accept it if it was just a kiss. After all, it wasn't the first time, and that's probably the scary thing about habits...Kendrick restarted the car and drove south along Graflet Avenue.This was not the way home; Annabelle curiously asked him where they were going next.Kendrick chuckled, "Let's go to a nice place, it's probably another half an hour away. If it gets boring, we can listen

Annabelle took a deep breath and looked into the distance. The vast sea was covered with the warm, slanting sunlight, hiding the turbulent undercurrents beneath the water's surface. In his warm embrace, Annabelle momentarily forgot that it was still winter."Are you the one who brought me here specifically to see the sea?"Kendrick gently rested his chin on her head, "In the past, when I felt down or when the pressure was too much, I would come here to look at the sea. I remember you said you really liked the ocean, so I had wanted to bring you here for a long time."Annabelle did indeed like this place, but what surprised her even more was that Kendrick, who had always been calm and composed, would also have moments of frustration and great pressure."I thought you could handle everything with ease.""It is only through experiencing more that one becomes at ease," he paused and smiled, "But since we got married, I haven't been here."Annabelle was staring at the sea absentmindedly an

After Kendrick finished speaking, he kissed Annabelle again.He kissed passionately, as if it didn't matter whether it was under the barrel of a gun or on the edge of a cliff, as long as he was doing this, he could give it his all...Annabelle sighed inwardly, for at that moment her heart was almost leaping out of her throat.She slightly opened her eyes and looked past his shoulder at the giant rock he was talking about.A gust of sea breeze blew over, messing up Annabelle's hair and obstructing her vision.Annabelle didn't even dare to touch her hair, afraid that it would seem unnatural and let the killer know that they had already discovered him. If she panicked and fired a shot, it would be all over.So Annabelle turned her head to the other side, unaware, truly believing that she and Kendrick were passionately and wholeheartedly kissing.After turning his head towards this side, he casually flicked away the hair that was obstructing his view.Annabelle saw clearly.There was real

Although Kendrick was mentally tense, Annabelle took the initiative to straddle him, kissed him, and said words that made his mind wander. This made him unable to control his thoughts and think of many colorful things.Annabelle puffed her cheeks and muttered softly, "I didn't gain weight recently..."Kendrick cleared his throat and said, "Actually, there are other ways for him to separate us and then shoot me, but he hasn't done anything yet, probably for some other reason. Just stay obediently in my arms and don't move around, you know?""Is it so?""Well, trust my judgment.""Well then..." Annabelle, with an incredibly nervous heart, stared fixedly at the sea in front of her.I wondered if that person would lose control. What if Kendrick got killed?The more she thought, the more scared she became, but unfortunately, besides waiting, it seemed like she couldn't do anything else.The two of them enjoyed the sea breeze for over ten minutes. Annabelle started sneezing, and Kendrick be

But the man did not draw his gun, instead he lowered his hat and bowed his head as he descended the mountain.She disappeared from Annabelle's sight in no time.Two minutes later, Annabelle saw that the person had already ridden away on a motorcycle from the twisting mountain road.Kendrick made sure there was no danger around and confirmed that the person was not pretending to leave. Only then did he take Annabelle back to the car and quickly drove away from the mountaintop."Why did he suddenly leave?" Annabelle couldn't help but ask as she got in the car."I don't know, first fasten your seatbelt."Annabelle quickly fastened her seatbelt.Kendrick really couldn't think straight, there were actually many ways to kill him without hurting Annabelle if he didn't want to harm her.And Jax's side had already been blocked, and the other group was probably in a precarious situation. In this scenario, Ryan had an absolute advantage, so why did he suddenly give up the operation?Was it becau

Kendrick rested his chin on Annabelle's neck and rubbed it gently.He knew that everything that happened this afternoon had scared his bunny Anna, but she was calmer than he had imagined, which made him feel relieved and somewhat sorry for her.How many times of danger have to be experienced to develop the ability to remain calm in the face of adversity..."Not tired," Annabelle said as she had already divided the powder into ten small packets and turned around to hand them over to Kendrick."Let Jax have one pack a day, dissolve it in warm water and drink it. His bones will grow quickly."Kendrick took the medicine and said with a smile, "Dr. Sanchez, can you cure any illness?"Annabelle was praised and she smiled with her eyes curved."This is all very basic; Master is truly amazing. I have only learned one-tenth of what he knows."When she mentioned Master, Kendrick's face turned cold and gloomy."I will thank you on behalf of Jax first, and please rest early if there's nothing els

Jax paused for a moment and said straightforwardly, "Harmonica, I always knew how to play."Kendrick glanced at him lightly and said, "Oh, really."Jax's heart sank as he understood. He realized that Boss was not asking him whether he could play the harmonica or not, but rather why he would play it for the lady, especially when Boss was not around.Jax didn't want Boss to see him as a rival, so he immediately explained seriously, "When I was at Glubia, I was playing the harmonica by the lake, and coincidentally, it was heard by the lady. She understands musical instruments and noticed that my harmonica had three out-of-tune holes. She suggested that I tune it down, but I told her it was because the reed was broken and I didn't know how to fix it. Maybe that's why she gave me a new one."Kendrick nodded after listening, "I didn't say anything either, why did you explain so much?""..."Jax was not good at expressing himself, but he was not foolish. He could somewhat grasp Boss's inner

His eyebrows grew very well, thick but not messy, and his eyelashes were really long, said to be a symbol of intelligence. Kendrick is indeed quite smart.Annabelle thought carefully and, although in the eyes of most people, her greatest skill was in business, she actually had many other talents.He could cook, although not as good as a chef, but better than many people. Anyway, Annabelle, who was not proficient in cooking, felt inferior.She had also looked at Kendrick's bookshelf, and all the books on it, he must have read them all, because there wasn't a single book that was completely brand new. Philosophy, history, military... perhaps that's why he was smarter than others?As for sports, swimming, diving, and golf were all above the level of amateur players. It seemed like he also knew free combat and kickboxing, as I had seen a medal in his study.He also had knowledge of music theory, although not as much as her. However, Annabelle had also heard him play the piano, and it was

I wish it were you Chapter 930 Youthful Ambition
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
I wish it were you Chapter 929 The Old Fox Is Hiding Something
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
I wish it were you Chapter 924 I’m Your Future Wife
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
I wish it were you Chapter 923 Even the Young Master Needs to Make His Presence Known
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…”
