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
Marvin stared at the young reporter intently and coldly said, "Stop talking nonsense and delete it quickly!"With that, he looked at the other people in the room and said, "You all get out of here too!"At this time, Annabelle had already quietly withdrawn from the crowd and, taking advantage of people's inattention, sneaked to Kendrick's apartment door.When someone knocked on the door, I shook my head to get rid of the disturbing image I had accidentally seen just now.Soon, Kendrick opened the door for her, pulled her into the house, and closed the front door."How was it? Was it lively?" he asked casually.Annabelle was at a loss for words. She thought to herself, "It was lively, but a bit too flashy for my taste." However, she believed that Kendrick probably didn't expect Marvin to expose himself so thoroughly, and she didn't want to witness those things either... So she decided not to recount what she had just seen and heard in detail."Was it all arranged by you?""Hmm." Kendri
Annabelle quickly deleted the chat history with Julissa, which contained a lot of badmouthing about Kendrick. She couldn't let him see it.As for the other few matters, Annabelle thought that Kendrick probably wouldn't know, so she didn't bother thinking about them for the time being.Afterwards, Kendrick took Annabelle and the kitten back to Lavender Villa and then went to the office.Annabelle slept heavily all day due to a hangover and didn't wake up until the evening.I glanced at my phone and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.There was the sound of water in the suite bathroom, indicating that Kendrick had already come back from work and was taking a shower.In the message sent by my good friend Julissa on my phone, it said, "Anna, I have found a new textbook again. Do you want me to share it with you? (mischievous smile)"Annabelle rubbed her forehead, knowing exactly what textbook Julissa was referring to.She sat up and replied, "No need...""Are you sure? The female
Annabelle just woke up and didn't have much appetite for breakfast, so she wanted to play the piano for a while first. She would go downstairs to find food when she got hungry.But when she picked up the piano, she thought again, no, let's not make too much noise first, so as not to invite trouble.So Annabelle randomly picked up a novel and started reading.It was a historical romance novel that easily captivated her, preventing her from thinking about other things.The male protagonist in the book was a general, whom Annabelle liked very much. The general was silent, brave, and gentle.In the face of a formidable enemy, he fought against a hundred alone. Upon returning to the military camp, he saw his wife suddenly paying a visit. He would embrace his young wife like a teenager and excitedly carry her into the tent.Wait... huh? This man has always been serious, how did he suddenly start driving...However, surprisingly, it was very good-looking.So Annabelle became more and more fa
For the next three days, Annabelle was very enthusiastic about morning exercises and didn't slack off at all.Because she knew that Kendrick was always true to his word.She must have been in her twenties, a grown woman, and yet she was still being spanked by someone. How embarrassing! So, as long as Kendrick got up, Annabelle would crawl out of bed, even with her eyes closed.However, the good times didn't last long, and on the fourth day, she was sore all over and couldn't get up.After Kendrick finished washing up, he saw that Annabelle was still sleeping in bed, with Coco pressing down on her blanket at the foot of the bed. The big one and the small one were sleeping so soundly.I had intended to pull her out of the blanket, but in the end, I couldn't bear to do it, so I gave her a day off.On the fifth day, Kendrick no longer hesitated. He picked up the sleepy Anna from her bed and placed her in front of the sink, giving her a quick face wash. Then, he carried the drowsy bunny An
Kendrick's contemptuous glance fueled the small flame in Annabelle's heart even more.She didn't really not want to practice, but sometimes she just lacked some stimulation.Now she was stimulated.From that day on, she started exercising seriously, even though at first she could only lift small dumbbells and could only pedal on the exercise bike for twenty minutes before giving up.But she did start to make an effort, Kendrick watched as she gradually improved, feeling very pleased in his heart.And after exercising, Annabelle's figure looked even better. There were several times when Kendrick almost couldn't control himself, watching her focused on her workout, seeing her covered in sweat and her face turning red.Before we knew it, it was already Spring Festival.The Sanchez family went on vacation to Whiteby. The father symbolically invited Annabelle and Kendrick, but after Annabelle refused, the father did not mention it again.Annabelle was quiet and happy.But this was her firs
Julissa blinked in confusion, her face full of bewilderment."Job entry? What job?"Linda was also momentarily stunned before she smiled and said, "Miss Hickman, arenât you the new assistant? Didnât you attend a banquet with Mr. Nichols last time?"It turned out there had been a misunderstanding.Julissa quickly waved her hand and laughed, "Actually, Iâ"Before she could finish, Scott spoke up, "Linda, you can step out. I need to have a word with Miss Hickman."Linda put down the form, turned, and left the office, closing the door behind her.Now, only Scott and Julissa were left in the room. Scott stood tall, backlit, with an air of authority surrounding him that made Julissa feel small all of a sudden.The key question was: What does he want to talk about?After the office door was closed, Julissa said, "It seems thereâs been a misunderstanding. Everyone really thought I was your assistant."Scott remained composed, nodding slightly. "Well, my assistant Linda is getting married and
Jax reported to Kendrick about his chance encounter with Seraphina at the market and also mentioned that Annabelle had lost her keys, asking if the lock on the gate should be changed.Kendrick was silent for a moment and then said, "Don't change the lock. Just keep an eye on the villa's security. If anyone breaks in, donât take immediate action. Wait to see what they intend to do.""Yes, boss."Kendrick understood Annabelle well; she wasnât someone who would be careless with her belongings, so losing her keys seemed unlikely. The fact that she had bumped into Seraphina made Kendrick suspect that the lost keys and Seraphina might be connected, though he wasnât sure yet about her intentions.That day, Annabelle spent the whole day in her study, preparing a gift for Kendrick. By the time he came home, she was already asleep.For the next two days, they were each busy during the day, and at night they slept separately without anything unusual happening. This made Kendrick wonder, *Could i
Fortunately, Jax had dark skin, so his blush was not noticeable. He muttered, "I don't have a girlfriend."Annabelle nodded. Jax was no longer a young man, and being by Kendrickâs side meant he probably didnât have time for dating. His lifelong affairs had likely been delayed. She thought to herself that she needed to mention this to Kendrickâwhen attending social events, Jax should be given more opportunities to participate.Keeping him hidden away all the time, how could he meet any girls? Although life isnât all about love and marriage, wouldnât it be regrettable to grow old without ever experiencing those things?With this in mind, Annabelle asked Jax, "What kind of girl do you like?"Jax cleared his throat. "Madam, is there anything else you need to buy?"Annabelle was about to tell him not to change the subject when she suddenly heard someone calling her name."Anna!"Turning around, she saw a tall girl in a misty blue trench coat walking towards her.Wasnât this the girl who wa
Suddenly recalling the events of the previous night, Annabelle's face flushed, and she quickly pulled her hand out of his palm. âYou eat, Iâll go change.â Watching the little rabbit run away with a red face, Kendrick couldnât help but smile helplessly. She was still so easily flustered. About ten minutes later, both of them were ready and headed for the hospital. Outside the car window, the cold wind blew, but inside the car, it was warm. Classical guitar music played softly, light and gentle. The man beside her drove quietly, accompanying her to the hospital for her check-up. On her lap was a thermos box with the breakfast Kendrick had prepared for her. She could eat once the check-up was over. When they had just gotten married, she had thought he was arrogant and cunning, but now, she realized he was such a considerate and gentle man. Annabelle couldnât help but smile. At a traffic light, Kendrick stopped the car and glanced at the small woman beside him. He noticed
Julian looked at his older brother as if he were a dinosaur, smiling. "Arenât you always so disdainful of me, bro?""Less talk, go get it.""Alright, alright!"Julian went back to his room, and soon returned with one of his photos, signed by him.Scott glanced at the photo, his face dark. "Your handwriting is terrible.""âĶAs long as Iâm handsome, itâs fine!" Julian retorted.Scott sneered, clearly mocking him.Julian felt like snatching the photo back, but didnât dare challenge his older brother.Scott went back to his room, looked at the signed photo, and casually tossed it on his desk before dialing Julissaâs number."Mr. Nichols? Itâs late, is there something you need?""Your signed photo, you can come pick it up tomorrow."Julissa paused for a moment, then realized what Scott meant. She felt grateful yet a little embarrassed. "You still remember! Thank you so much."She had almost forgotten about it herself and didnât want to get too entangled with Scott after the awkward incident
For some reason, when Julissa said this, her heart suddenly felt empty, as though she had lost something important.Zane, however, was pleased. He smiled and said, "Everything will be done the way you like."Julissa smiled back. "Okay.""By the way, here, this is for you." Zane opened the passenger side door, took an A4 sheet from the glove compartment, and handed it to Julissa."Whatâs this?" Julissa looked at the form, confused."This is my work schedule. From now on, you can check it to see when I'm free. As long as I'm not working, I can be with you."Julissa took the form, thinking that this person was quite straightforward and interesting. "Alright, then next time, when you're off, letâs go watch a movie.""Sure."Despite it feeling like a routine, and despite the fact that their relationship had almost nothing to do with love, wasnât love supposed to fade away eventually?She had once poured all her enthusiasm into Liam, but now she was content with going through the motions, w
Kendrickâs expression darkened, his anger quickly rising.How dare Ryan talk to her about something like this!And who was that Ryan to think that just because he said they couldnât sleep together, they had to listen?Annabelle explained why they couldnât sleep together, the consequences and all.After hearing it, Kendrick felt a bit of doubt creeping in. If sleeping together would really harm Annabelleâs body, then perhaps some restraint was necessary.But then he turned to Annabelle and said, "Weâll go for a checkup tomorrow. Traditional medicine is powerful, but letâs trust Western medicine this time."The main reason, of course, was that he didnât trust Ryan.At this point, Annabelle had no choice. She couldnât argue with him. Since Kendrick didnât trust Young Master and wouldnât believe him, going for a Western medical checkup was fine.Of course, she also wanted a full check-up.After all, she had been diagnosing herself, but hadnât noticed anything unusual with her body. It was
Kendrick wasnât cooperating like he usually did. It seemed like he wanted Annabelle to experience that feeling of desperationâwhere no matter how hard she tried to comfort him, nothing worked.He pressed his lips tightly together, and Annabelle awkwardly kissed him, trying to mimic how he usually kissed her, attempting to use her tongue to pry open his lips.But it felt too embarrassing, so she only gave his lips a quick lick before turning away, blushing.She had already kissed him, yet he still wasnât giving in. What else did he want?Frustrated, Annabelle got up, determined to ignore him.But as she tried to walk away, Kendrick stopped her, pulling her back and making her straddle him."Comforting your husband isnât done like this," Kendrick said softly, his gaze fixed on her lips. "If you donât comfort me properly, youâre not leaving.""You wonât cooperate," Annabelle said unhappily."Let Annabelle experience what itâs like to be rejected," he continued, his voice pausing with a s
"Of course, Iâm concerned," Annabelle muttered, feeling uneasy.Kendrick didnât look right. Did he find out about her meeting with Young Master?No matter what, she couldnât let on that she was guilty.She added, "By the way, Julissa and I went to the amusement park. I posted a picture of the two of us, and guess what? Several of my classmates want to meet Julissa."She quickly glanced at Kendrickâs expression to see how he was reacting.She wanted to show that she had been with Julissa tonight, with proof in the photos.Kendrick nodded. "I saw the photos.""Mm! Pretty good pictures, right?"After saying that, she realized how awkward the conversation was. Feeling guilty, she added, "Iâm going to change. Donât drink anymore."Just as she was about to turn around, she heard Kendrick speak quietly. "Was the view from the Ferris wheel good?""âĶ"Annabelle froze, closed her eyes, and sighed. It seemed there was no need to cover it up anymore; he already knew.She turned back around, walke
