"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
Annabelle immediately bit his tongue, and Kendrick slightly pulled away from her, saying, "If you don't talk to me, I'll just keep kissing you."And so, it covered her lips once again, lingering and entwining.Annabelle wanted to continue biting him, but she couldn't bring herself to do it and secretly hated herself for being weak.And she was easily swayed, while Kendrick was even more dominant, causing her to quickly succumb to his kisses.Gradually, he loosened his grip on her wrist, one hand encircling her waist, and the other pressing against the back of her head. As the intensity of the kiss increased, the hand that was placed on her waist also began to wander.When he finally left Annabelle's lips and kissed her neck, Annabelle opened her mouth and bit his neck."Baby, you really know how to speak your mind."His voice was deep and magnetic, stirring every nerve of Annabelle's.Annabelle stared at him indignantly and said, "Why are you so good at flirting with girls? Mr. Gregor
Calm down, Annabelle, also felt that she was a little bit arbitrary and impulsive.But after all, just now I was still angry, and now I still maintain it, with a stern little face."Alright, then I'll give you a chance to argue."Kendrick then explained it briefly and succinctly.Last month, Seamus got drunk at the bar, and the female singer performing at the bar used his phone to dial the nearest call, which happened to be Kendrick's.So he went to the bar to meet Seamus, but the bar had already closed. Seamus was stubbornly holding onto the girl, so in desperation, the girl and Kendrick brought him here.After that, Seamus still didn't let go of the girl.Kendrick realized at that moment that they must have known each other, so he entrusted Seamus to the girl's care and then left himself.Annabelle asked, "Why didn't we go to a hotel? Or just take Seamus home directly?"Kendrick said that he was afraid of getting scolded by his father if he went home. If he stayed at a hotel, he was
Annabelle remembered that Kendrick had just said that there would be a good show to watch later. Could it be referring to the present moment?Annabelle dressed herself and, driven by curiosity, opened the door.Next door, that was Marvin's house. At this moment, the door of the house had already been wide open, and there were many noisy voices coming from inside, as well as the clicking sound of cameras being pressed.Annabelle tiptoed to the door and leaned against the door frame, peering inside.I haven't seen anything yet, but another group of people came out of the elevator. They were carrying long guns and cannons, and they forcefully pushed Annabelle into the house with a loud bang.Annabelle finally understood what was going on, all the people who came were reporters.They had a common goal and all headed straight for the bedroom, carrying Annabelle with them into the room.The reporters at that time were all excited and eager to capture the most thrilling scene, so they didn't
There was another person observing the competition from a hidden spot—Marvin.Marvin had been there for a while, even earlier than Annabelle and Kendrick. After swimming for a bit and getting a little tired, he decided to rest in the semi-open lounge area by the pool.When Kendrick and Annabelle were playing in the water, Marvin had woken up but didn’t come out. As Annabelle and Ariana prepared for their race, he received a message from his good friend, urging him to watch the live stream.He watched the stream and quickly understood what was going on. When the race began and he saw Annabelle trailing slightly behind Ariana, Marvin walked out of the lounge, leaning casually against the wall, waiting quietly.He hoped Annabelle would lose.Although it seemed like a small game, Marvin knew that Annabelle was someone who kept her promises. If she lost, she would leave Kendrick.And that would give him more chances to win her back.Ariana was also thinking the same. With only a third of t
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ariana smiled and said, "Trey mentioned that Grandpa’s new swimming pool is ready for use, and since Kendrick and Sister-in-law are already here, we decided to come over. I hope we’re not disturbing you!""It’s fine," Kendrick responded with a faint smile, which didn’t reach his eyes.Ariana's smile faltered slightly, but she quickly added, "Then we’ll go change. Kendrick, Sister-in-law, we’ll see you later!"Annabelle smiled back at her, hoping that with a fiancé now, Ariana would stop seeing her as a rival.Once they left, Kendrick turned to Annabelle, "If you don’t want to swim anymore, we can leave."Annabelle shook her head. "No, I haven’t swum much yet. Let’s stay a little longer."She had just changed into her swimsuit and hadn’t had enough fun yet. It wouldn’t feel right to leave so soon. Plus, Ariana’s arrival made her reluctant to go. She didn’t want to appear petty. Despite her dislike for Ariana, there was no need to act small-minded
Kendrick turned to Annabelle and asked, "Do you want to swim for a while longer, or come with me?"If it were just her here, it wouldn't be an issue. But since Ariana and Cael were also around, and Cael's gaze seemed a bit inappropriate, Kendrick wanted to take her with him.However, Annabelle had just warmed up and hadn’t had enough fun yet. She turned to Trey and asked, "Will Grandpa and Kendrick talk for long?"If it wasn’t going to take too long, she’d just wait for him here.Trey, who had already noticed that the young lady was enjoying herself, chuckled and replied, "It won’t take long. The young master can just put on a bathrobe and ask a few questions.""Then I’ll wait for you," Annabelle said to Kendrick, smiling brightly.Kendrick sighed. It was rare for her to be so excited, and he didn’t want to spoil her fun. Since she needed some exercise, the only thing he could do was indulge her."Alright, I’ll be back soon."Kendrick got out of the pool, put on a bathrobe, and follow
After the four of them exchanged pleasantries, Ariana smiled and said, "Trey just mentioned that Grandpa’s new swimming pool is ready for use. Since Kendrick and Sister-in-law are already here, we decided to come over. I hope we’re not disturbing you!""It’s fine," Kendrick responded with a faint smile, though his smile didn’t quite reach his eyes.Ariana’s smile stiffened slightly, but she quickly said, "Then we’ll go change. Kendrick, Sister-in-law, we’ll see you later!"Annabelle smiled back at her, hoping that with a fiancé now, Ariana would stop treating her as a rival.After they left, Kendrick turned to Annabelle, "If you don’t want to swim anymore, we can leave."Annabelle shook her head. "No, I haven’t swum much yet. Let’s stay a little longer."She had just changed into her swimsuit and hadn’t swum for long. It wouldn’t feel right to leave yet.Besides, Ariana showing up made her want to stay. She didn’t want to seem petty. Even though she was somewhat bothered by Ariana, th
They fought for air, and just before they were on the verge of suffocating, Annabelle felt every sense in her body become hypersensitive, her dependency on Kendrick growing stronger.When he brought her up for air, her face was flushed, and she gasped, "You're crazy!""Don't like it?" He grinned, his smile mischievous.Annabelle’s face grew even redder. She turned her head, burying her face against the stone table, determined to ignore him.Kendrick, however, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and kissed her neck."Kendrick, you need to control yourself; someone might see us."Annabelle was a little panicked. Despite their previous agreement to refrain from intimacy until her health was clear, she still found it embarrassing to kiss or hug in such an open place.Kendrick chuckled, "So shy? No one is coming. Didn't Grandpa say so...?"Just as his words ended, footsteps approached.Kendrick frowned in annoyance, turning toward the sound, and Annabelle looked as well. Both of
Kendrick's eyes were filled with admiration and appreciation as he watched Annabelle. She was like a vision, and he couldn’t look away.Annabelle, feeling both shy and exhilarated under his intense gaze, couldn’t help but smile. She lifted the corner of her lips, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she mimicked his tone. "Do you think it looks good?" she asked, her voice teasing.Kendrick cleared his throat, trying to maintain his composure. "It's alright," he replied."Just alright?" Annabelle raised an eyebrow, her smirk growing wider. "Then why does Mr. Gregory seem so... affected?"He stepped closer, his voice low and firm. "From now on, you’re only allowed to wear swimsuits when I’m around."Annabelle laughed, her pride evident. "Then you’d better make sure you’re with me every time I swim."Kendrick’s eyes narrowed slightly, a mix of amusement and possessiveness flickering in his gaze.Tsk! This little woman is being very bold today!He reached out to grab her wrist, but Annabell
This decision was made by Annabelle after much thought.Kendrick was good at managing finances and running his company well, so if she wasn’t going to invest in him, who else would she invest in?Oh, right, Annabelle was thinking about investing in the Nichols Group's stocks next, because she was also optimistic about Nichols Chen Yuan.She also wanted to invest in the fashion brand founded by Fabian Mcmahon, but unfortunately, his company wasn’t listed yet.Kendrick chuckled helplessly, “Great choice. It's a good decision.”Investing her own money in her own company made perfect sense.“By the way, Grandpa told me this morning that he wants us to come over for dinner tomorrow. If you’re not feeling well, we don’t have to go.”Annabelle thought to herself, it was Grandpa who invited them, of course, they had to go. Besides, she felt great today and was completely healthy now.“I’m fine. I haven’t visited Grandpa since the New Year, so it’s about time I go.”Kendrick smiled and gently
Wilson packed up his things and told Annabelle that she was probably just very tired recently and needed to rest more. There was no need to worry too much. For her cold symptoms, he recommended stopping any other nourishing medicines until she recovered. He suggested a balanced diet, mostly light foods, and plenty of warm water to help speed up her metabolism. He would also prepare a herbal soup for her.Wilson's advice was conservative and aligned with what Annabelle expected. She felt less anxious about her condition than she had before.After seeing Wilson off, Kendrick asked him, "What exactly is going on with Annabelle?"He had known Wilson for quite some time, and the repeated reassurance to Annabelle only made Kendrick feel uneasy.Wilson's expression was serious as he replied, "I can't say for sure, but I don't think it's looking too good...""Tell me straight," Kendrick insisted."I suggest we wait for the test results. Modern medicine should be able to pinpoint the cause. I
Annabelle shifted her gaze and lightly scolded him, "I didn't! You're mistaken." Kendrick smiled and handed her the warm milk, with the little cat, Coco, eagerly waiting for its milk at his feet. Annabelle took a small saucer and poured a little for Coco. "Can Coco drink milk?" Kendrick asked Annabelle, but Coco meowed, as if to say, "Yes, I can." Annabelle crouched down, rubbed Coco's forehead, placed the saucer on the floor, and said to Kendrick, "Most cats are lactose intolerant, so milk can cause diarrhea, but the milk I bought is lactose-free, so it's fine to give him a little." Afterward, both the large and small ones were drinking milk in the tea room. The small one was soft and cute, while the large one was gentle, and Kendrick's gaze deepened. After Coco finished, it stretched, rubbed against Annabelle's leg, and walked off with small steps. Annabelle, also looking satisfied, licked her lips, feeling that the gloomy mood earlier had dissipated. She was about
