I wish it were you Chapter 35 Fairy
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

After the call with Trey was disconnected, Kendrick tugged at his tie.He knew what Trey implied.But how should he do that? Force her to have sex with him?Annabelle grew up at Springvale Temple alone in her childhood, so she must have been bullied a lot. It would be inhumane of him if he bullied her with the excuse of their marriage.At least at this moment, Kendrick couldn't accept Trey's advice.After Annabelle returned to the bedroom, she texted Fabian.After all, their communication was interrupted by Kendrick."I was caught up in something just now and didn't finish what I wanted to say. You should take the medicine I prescribed you according to the instructions. Tell me when you finish it. I'll give you another treatment plan.""OK. I'll be waiting."Annabelle smiled when she looked at Fabian's reply."Sleep early then. I'm going to sleep as well. Good night."Annabelle had few friends over the years, and Fabian was one of her best friends.They knew each other because of Fabi

Raphael already began to sob, "They will chop my hands off if I can't repay the debt. Please come here..."What followed was a burst of noise, and the call was disconnected.Annabelle was irritated.She used to have a good impression of Raphael and after this call was finished, she already saw him as a playboy.The point was that Raphael didn't know if she had that much money before asking. Did he think she had become his cash cow after she was married into the Gregory family?The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Annabelle just put away the phone and decided not to care.However, she couldn't calm down. She couldn't stop worrying.Raphael didn't seem to be lying.If she ignored him, would his limbs be chopped off?Annabelle wasn't that determined after thinking like this.Finally, she sighed. She would help him, and she would tell him that it would be both her first time and last time helping him out.She could afford 80 thousand dollars.She had treated quite a few

Raphael widened his eyes. "Damn you. This is my older sister."After saying this, he continued escorting Annabelle and turned his head to laugh into her ear. "Annabelle, you're so attractive that they can't stop looking at you."Raphael was proud when he said this.But at that moment, Annabelle had a pale face and couldn't feel happy at all.She hated being stared at like this and even felt a bit horrified.She was more upset when she heard Raphael's joke and glared at him.Raphael didn't notice it at all and still excitedly led the way.Annabelle was confused. Raphael didn't look like he had lost 80 thousand dollars, or, was the money so little to him that he didn't even care?But that made sense. The Sanchez family was rich after all, and even Briley's handbag would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.It was because they squandered the money instead of managing it, the family that was once one of the Four Great Families in Elfhedge had fallen.Now, the family's business had b

As soon as the woman spoke, she immediately attracted many onlookers. Everyone stretched their necks and looked over as if watching a show.Recently, Annabelle has been the hottest topic in the celebrity circle.The men and women present were all from the so-called upper class society. They had long heard about the mysterious heiress of the Sanchez family, who was jilted by the second son of the Gregory family at the engagement banquet. It was quite embarrassing, but she turned around and got engaged to Kendrick, the most esteemed man in Elfhedge.She didn't have many opportunities to appear in public, so various rumors started to spread online. Some said she was extremely ugly, while others claimed she was as beautiful as a goddess.As soon as they heard, everyone started discussing that the woman in front of them was Annabelle."That's Annabelle, so beautiful. She's definitely not an ugly girl.""Gemma Pratt is also impressive. She truly lives up to her reputation as a supermodel. H

Annabelle looked up in panic and was about to say thank you when she saw that it was Kendrick who was holding her.The girl next to me had already exclaimed and screamed.Characters like Kendrick are not something they can easily come across. At this moment, their eyes were sparkling, infatuated, saying, "It's really Kendrick! He's even more handsome than in the photos.""Wow, he's so cool! I wish it was me that he was hugging..."Those girls were excitedly talking and crazily taking photos.Annabelle couldn't help shaking her head when she saw this, thinking to herself, "You guys are still too naive. You don't know how cunning this person is. He may look handsome, but he has a wicked heart.""Where did it hurt?" Kendrick frowned and asked.Annabelle shook her head, while also showing a hint of slight dissatisfaction towards him.The black sports car parked outside, it really belonged to Kendrick.He did come to this colorful place for socializing, and the old fox indeed was not a goo

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…”
