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At this time, Annabelle had already quietly withdrawn from the crowd and, taking advantage of people's inattention, sneaked to Kendrick's apartment door.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?

    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

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 391 This Exercise Is Great

    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

    Annabelle was distant and cold towards him. The most she would do when they met was nod her head, which was already the limit.Marvin knew that Annabelle no longer trusted him.The more she was like this, the less Marvin wanted to give up, and the more he wanted to be with her.Tonight, he also had a special surprise prepared for her...Marvin stared at Annabelle, who was sitting on the sofa, pouring a cup of coffee for her grandfather.Kendrick said, "I want to as well."So Annabelle shook her head helplessly, as if wondering why he couldn't pour it himself, but even so, she still poured a cup of coffee for Kendrick and handed it to him herself.Kendrick took the coffee cup, gave a suggestive smile, and brushed his finger against the back of her hand.Marvin witnessed this scene of sweet affection and subtle flirtation, finding it incredibly glaring.He wished so much that one day Annabelle would also show him the same expression of disdain, helplessness, and fondness. However, at th

    Annabelle was focused, attentive, and observant, analyzing the expressions and gestures of others, calculating the cards. She could be described as extremely serious.Unfortunately, by the time Kendrick finished his phone call and came back, Annabelle had already lost all of his chips and her hair was a bit disheveled."Nothing left at all?" Kendrick raised an eyebrow.Annabelle looked up at him and sheepishly smiled, "I still owed 15 dollars."Kendrick rubbed her hair and said, "It's okay, I'll do it."Annabelle quietly exited the scene, sighing deeply as she watched Kendrick turn the tables on the small poker table. It made her realize that there is indeed a gap between people.Unfortunately, the money Kendrick won is still his own. The few rounds she just played can only be considered as finger exercises.Annabelle was feeling unhappy and decided to go pour herself a glass of water to calm down her disappointed mood.As Annabelle entered the hallway, a maid happened to come in and

    Annabelle listened to Lisa's sorrowful tone, but she remained very cautious of her, so she had no intention of saying much to her and continued to walk back.Lisa's words, however, kept coming from behind, and in the quiet night, they were heard particularly clearly.During the days I was hospitalized, many people came to visit me. They all claimed to be my fans, but in reality, the men came to sleep with me, while the women came to enjoy the spectacle. Even the other patients and male doctors bullied me. Every day, I was in great pain and felt like I would rather be dead.She choked up and couldn't continue speaking. Annabelle stopped in her tracks and turned around to look. She saw two lines of tears on her thin face, looking very sad.Lisa was actually very beautiful. After she moved into the mental hospital, it was indeed possible for her to be bullied if she didn't have the care of her family.With this thought, Annabelle couldn't help but sigh.Lisa had a good hand originally, b

    Annabelle was good at holding her breath in the water, and she immediately held her breath. Finally, when Lisa also became frozen, Annabelle had a chance to take a breath.She gasped heavily, pushed Lisa forcefully, and quickly distanced herself from the crazy woman.When I looked at the crazy woman again, I saw that she was also on the verge of collapse. After a few seconds, she finally showed her head, but quickly sank again.No matter how crazy Lisa was, she still had the instinct to survive. At this moment, she was struggling in the water and starting to call for help.Annabelle didn't care how Lisa was doing, she just desperately swam towards the shore.Because at that time, the two of them had already been a distance away from the shore.The icy lake water made Annabelle's limbs stiff, but she knew she absolutely couldn't stop swimming, or else she would really be dragged into the water by Lisa and become a water ghost.However, the lake water was too cold and her legs suddenly

    Kendrick unfolded the crumpled painting draft and took a look. It was an unfinished painting that seemed to be intended to depict a sea, a very familiar scene.Annabelle sat up, hugged her knees, and looked depressed."I originally wanted to give it to you as a gift, but I messed it up."Kendrick remembered that when they were in Shadelake, he gave Annabelle a necklace and a jewelry box. At that time, Annabelle said she would give him a gift in return, but he needed to wait a while.Some time ago, she went to the calligraphy and painting market and bought some things. He didn't ask in detail. Now, looking at the picture frame piled up by the wall and the paintings in the room, Kendrick understood.Annabelle was going to paint a picture for him with her own hands. She probably didn't want him to enter this room last night because she was afraid that he would see it in advance.However, it seemed that none of the painting drafts visible in the room was intact."Is it still not finished?

    Julissa felt so embarrassed she wanted to die. She cleared her throat and said, "Umm... I actually don't usually read those things. I just bought it out of curiosity. I usually read these books over here."Julissa smiled awkwardly and pointed at the row of classic novels on the shelf, covered in dust.Scott put the book back and came over to her. He took the panties from her hand and raised an eyebrow."Why did you buy such a large size? Do I look that fat to you?""Oh no, I don't have any experience. I thought... I didn't know..."Scott understood and suddenly smiled. As he left the study, he said, "Food and sex are basic human instincts. It's natural, Assistant Hickman. There's no need to hide it. I understand.""..." Julissa rubbed her forehead and said in a dry voice, "Thanks, Mr. Nichols.""You're welcome."What kind of conversation was this? Julissa was embarrassed to the point of madness.Regardless, Scott went back to his room, and Julissa, after a moment of disarray in the st

    Although there was a door blocking the view, she could only see half of his chest exposed, and the other half of his body was hidden behind the door. But her door was made of frosted glass.With frosted glass, you can't see anything from a distance, but when you're close... it's very clear, and you can see everything.Julissa swallowed nervously and tried her best not to look, even retracting her peripheral vision. She asked calmly, "What's the matter, Mr. Nichols?""Could these things have been used by your ex-boyfriend?""Don't worry. He never stayed the night here."Scott nodded. "That's good. I don't like sharing these items that come into close contact with the skin with others."Julissa also nodded with a smile, thinking to herself, if he doesn't like sharing items in close contact with the skin, then why is the CEO going to sleep in my bed?"Do you have anything else, Mr. Nichols?""Not for now. If I do, I'll call you."The bathroom door closed again, and Julissa let out a sigh

    She glanced at the person in the living room. The CEO was holding a teacup, sipping gracefully, and observing her living room. He frowned at times, twitched the corners of his mouth at other times, and then showed a rather amused expression.Was he making fun of her home being like a pigsty, or was he making fun of her home being like a pigsty?Julissa had seen all these expressions on her mother's face before.Every time her mother came to her place, she would help clean the house while wearing that speechless expression.After washing the dishes and drying her hands, Julissa walked out of the kitchen. Looking at the clock on the wall, she said to the person in the living room, "Mr. Nichols, it's getting late, isn't it?"Scott also looked at his watch. "Well, it's already so late.""Yeah!" So, aren't you leaving yet?Scott looked at Julissa. "By the way, Assistant Hickman, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."The address of "Assistant Hickman" made Julissa stand up st

    Julissa added the Nicholsn Ramyeon to the pot, thinking to herself, *The CEO comes to someone's home as a guest, and he's being so domineering?*As the noodles were nearly cooked, she placed the cheese on the noodles. Once the cheese hit the heat, it softened and enveloped the noodles with a rich, creamy texture. Julissa’s eyes lit up. She took a bite eagerly, and just as she was about to dive in, Scott handed her his bowl."Can you serve me?""??"Looks like the CEO is really good at delegating.Fine, I’ll serve it! Here you go, just eat quickly and leave, my dear CEO.Julissa was furious in her mind but dared not show it. All she did was mutter quietly inside, handing the bowl over to Scott while trying to smile obsequiously, "Take your time eating, it's still hot."This was the power of a 100,000 monthly salary.Scott glanced at her, raised the corner of his mouth, and picked up the noodles to try. He raised an eyebrow, surprised. He hadn’t expected something as ordinary as instant

    "Zane, aren't you eating?""I just got a call from the hospital. One of my patients is in trouble, and their wound has reopened. I have to go right away."He was already at the door, and from his anxious expression, it seemed like it was serious."Be careful on the road.""Yeah, you go ahead and continue eating. I really wanted to spend more time with you tonight."Julissa quickly reassured him, saying it was fine, and they could eat together next time.Scott walked them to the door and said to Zane, "Take care, Doctor Carter."Julissa furrowed her brows and looked at the person beside her. Why did it feel like he was the one in charge of the house?And leaving her alone with Scott, what was that about? Didn’t Zane have any suspicions?Lost in thought, Zane turned to Julissa and said, "Julissa, can you help me swipe the elevator card?""Oh, sure."Julissa took the card and stepped outside.When the elevator arrived, she swiped the card for Zane, but he pressed the button to hold the d

    Julissa’s apartment, a small two-bedroom, one-living-room layout, was decorated... probably intended to be cozy, but in reality, it was messy and disorganized. Scott felt like he had never entered such a chaotic home.Julissa glanced at him. His discerning eyes and furrowed brows made him look just like the dormitory manager checking for cleanliness when she was in school.She felt nervous, and now, looking at her own little space, she could see everything that was wrong with it.There were delivery boxes piled at the door, still unopened, and clothes that needed washing were scattered on the couch.Oh no, there’s even a piece of underwear!Quickly, she hurried over to pick it up and quietly put it in the laundry basket on the balcony.If she hadn’t tidied up, Scott wouldn’t have noticed. But now that she had, he certainly saw it.It seemed like he really liked black lingerie. She had worn a black one the other night, but it didn’t look like the same one.After taking off his coat and

    Julissa hummed in surprise. "It might be the landlord; they said they'd bring me a potted plant a few days ago. Can you take the wine off the stove? It should be warm by now.""Sure." Zane swallowed the rest of his words and headed to the kitchen, deciding to speak later.Julissa went to open the door.When she opened it, she was surprised to see Scott standing there. He was dressed in a black wool coat, standing tall in front of her, his gaze heavy and intent.Although he hadn’t said a word yet, Julissa could already feel her heart racing. She pressed her hand against her chest, silently reminding herself that although it felt like a god had suddenly descended on her humble abode, she shouldn’t let her inner fan girl take over!"Mr. Nichols, is there something you need?" she asked.Scott pulled a pen from his coat pocket. "Your pen was left in my car."Julissa looked at the pen, tilted her head, and reached out to take it. Could it have fallen out when she got out of the car earlier?

    Soon after Julissa arrived home, Zane showed up.She opened the door for him, handing him a pair of men's slippers to change into.Zane entered the living room and looked around at her somewhat messy little place. He smiled and said, "You don't seem to be someone who enjoys doing housework, do you?"Julissa scratched her head awkwardly. "My study is very tidy!""Oh? Can I take a look?" Zane teased.Julissa quickly stopped him. "Uh... can you help me out here? I need to wash a lot of vegetables."There weren't actually that many vegetables to wash, but her study was definitely not suitable for showing off. It contained not only legitimate books but also some less-than-legitimate ones. If he saw her collection of adult novels and comics, it would be too embarrassing.Zane bit his lip and gave up on the idea of exploring her study, following her into the kitchen instead.He had always been a firm believer in not getting married and had never been in a serious relationship.
