Annabelle thought to herself that if it was a low degree, she shouldn't feel dizzy after just one glass.She had also drunk alcohol before, but never like this.I wanted to stand up and wash my face, but as soon as I got up, I felt extremely dizzy and fell to the side.Marvin got up and supported her shoulders, "Anna, are you okay?""I seemed a little drunk..." she said drowsily, looking around the room and continued, "Right now, in my eyes, there are two CoCos."Marvin laughed. He had never seen Annabelle like this before. She had always been polite and distant towards him, but he never expected her to be so adorable when she was drunk. It made his eyes darken involuntarily, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but roll."I helped you to the sofa first."Annabelle nodded, but her steps were weak and she was about to fall at any moment. Marvin then held her waist and firmly embraced her, walking towards the living room sofa.She felt dizzy and uncomfortable at the moment. She didn't fee
Annabelle knew that she was lifted up by Marvin and placed on a soft bed.She didn't know what Marvin was going to do, but as soon as her heavy head touched the pillow, she just wanted to sleep forever.Marvin turned off the lights, and moonlight poured in through the window.He sat beside her, his gaze replacing his hands, caressing her eyebrows, her lips, gliding over her gently rising chest, her slender waist...He had many blasphemous thoughts in his mind.In fact, since he started liking Annabelle, he never had any relationship with other women.He did not lack physical needs, and with his background, it was actually very easy for him to find any kind of girl he wanted.Some people also advised him that a man should separate emotions from desires. It is acceptable to have an unattainable love in his heart, but he should not become sexless just for the sake of an unattainable love. It is normal to find a girl to warm the bed and seek comfort, as long as it is purely physical and n
When Jax swiped his card and entered Marvin's apartment, Marvin had just finished taking a cold shower and was walking out of the shower room wrapped in a towel.Without even seeing the face of the incoming person clearly, they were immediately knocked unconscious to the ground.Kendrick walked behind Jax, glanced at Marvin lying on the ground, furrowed his brow, and strode into the bedroom.Annabelle was already asleep, her clothes intact, and she appeared to have not been bullied.Kendrick finally felt relieved and couldn't help but let out a sigh.It really doesn't let people relax at all.Afterwards, he picked up Annabelle and, as he passed by Jax, he paused for a moment and said, "The rest is up to you.""Yes, Boss."Kendrick held Annabelle and walked out of Marvin's house, and entered the neighboring house.He also had an apartment here, right next to Marvin's, but after marrying Annabelle, he hardly ever came back to live here.After entering the room, Kendrick first put Annabe
"Don't worry, I wasn't interested in alcoholics."Kendrick spoke and pushed her hand away, but Annabelle, despite being drunk, was strong and grabbed his left hand, and her right hand came over.After a while of tossing and turning, Kendrick rubbed his forehead and said, "Anna, you really pushed me to this."After speaking, he took off his belt.Annabelle's eyes widened, unintentionally triggering Kendrick's hidden skill: domestic... domestic violence?"Kendrick, hitting someone is illegal!"Kendrick curved his lips and bit her earlobe, saying, "Darling, how could I bear to hit you."Annabelle became even more frightened. It wasn't just domestic violence, but also the evil expression she was looking at. Could it be that she wanted to..."Kendrick, I didn't have that kind of fetish!"Kendrick smiled slightly, "Anna knew quite a lot.""Really, my legs are still sore now, really cannot, not even in my dreams!"Her nervous appearance made Kendrick laugh."Was it that sour?"Annabelle nodd
Annabelle snorted twice and then rubbed against his hand.Kendrick let out a long sigh and finally felt sorry for her. He didn't do anything to her anymore, he just kissed her face.I also felt a little scared in my heart. Fortunately, I brought her back tonight. Otherwise, if she had gone crazy with alcohol towards Marvin, she would have definitely gotten herself into trouble.However, before he and Jax arrived, Marvin actually had a long time alone with Annabelle, but he never made any advances towards her.Kendrick felt relieved that Annabelle had not been bullied, but he also felt a bit awkward.Marvin, this kid, has experienced all kinds of worldly temptations, and he is definitely not a gentleman with a pure and simple heart.But when it came to Annabelle, he understood the importance of respect.What does this mean? It can only mean that Marvin truly fell in love with Annabelle...The next morning, Annabelle groggily opened her eyes and saw a man's arm draped over her waist.An
Annabelle was actually quite aggrieved. She had only had a glass of juice, after all. It's not like she was binge drinking or anything...A few minutes later, the butler personally brought the meal upstairs.Annabelle had just taken a short nap again. As soon as she smelled the aroma of food, she immediately sat up and put on the pajamas that Kendrick had prepared for her, ready to go eat.All of a sudden, I became dizzy. Combined with the hangover and the fact that I had just exercised with someone, my steps wavered.Kendrick directly carried her to the edge of the dining table and couldn't help but tease her, "Do you still have the strength to hold a spoon? Or should I feed you?"Annabelle glared at him accusingly, saying, "Don't!"Kendrick ignored her and started eating alone, with a satisfied expression on his face after his triumph.Annabelle had a poor appetite and would feel full after just a few bites. Kendrick insisted that she eat a little more, otherwise her stomach would b
Annabelle felt like crying, so she drank and messed things up, it's true.And when you got drunk, just go to sleep peacefully. Why do you have to satisfy yourself by messing with Kendrick, rubbing his head, and pinching his face?"Um... just now, didn't I already go back?"Kendrick raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly, saying, "That was just a regular morning exercise, it doesn't count."He ate it all up early in the morning, how can that not count?The sausage in her mouth suddenly stopped tasting good. Annabelle put down her fork and knife, stood up gently, and planned to make a quick getaway.Kendrick, seeing that he was teasing her again, was about to really scare her, so he reached out and pulled bunny Anna back into his arms.He messed up her hair and pinched her face. "Now you're back."Annabelle's messy hair stood up; her eyes brightened. "Is that it?"Kendrick laughed and said, "What else then? What more do you want?"Having been let off so easily by Kendrick, Annabelle felt
Annabelle's heart felt like a lump of cotton.Kendrick had brought other women here before.She suddenly remembered the words Master had reminded her of, emotionally, she was not Kendrick's only one.She remembered all the ambiguous things that happened between her and Kendrick again, no wonder he was so experienced and good at teasing, because he had done all these things to someone else before...Although Annabelle had long thought that he was a thirty-year-old man with normal needs, it was impossible for him to have never been with a woman before meeting her.And she could understand and accept his past romantic history, and she didn't have any so-called psychological cleanliness obsession.After all, Kendrick didn't know he would meet her, so there was no need for him to remain chaste for her.However, this lace headband looked very new.She had been married to Kendrick for half a year, and if it was placed here after their marriage, it meant that Kendrick was pursuing her while a
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
“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
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
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
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
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
