I wish it were you Chapter 395 She's No Longer Pure
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

Faced with Marvin's mockery and accusations, Kendrick's face darkened, but he did not retort.What happened to Annabelle was indeed his fault, as he didn't take enough precautions and failed to take care of her properly.Grandfather stomped his cane in anger and said, "Kendrick, take Annabelle back to the room and then call Wilson. If the situation is not good, go to the hospital immediately. Marvin, go take a hot shower quickly. Trey, bring people to capture Lisa."Grandfather spoke and no one said anything more. They all left separately.Kendrick entered the elevator, looking at the small woman huddled in his arms, her face pale. He felt even more guilty and heartbroken.However, how did Lisa suddenly run out? How did she manage to sneak into the community?The elevator arrived at the second floor, and Kendrick didn't think any further. The most important thing at the moment was Annabelle's physical condition.After returning to the room, Kendrick placed Annabelle in the oval bathtu

"What's wrong?" Kendrick bent down again, looking at the blushing woman's face."Um, why don't you wash now? We can, together..."With that, Annabelle lifted her eyes and quickly glanced at him, then hurriedly lowered her head again, feeling extremely frustrated.How did Kendrick manage to invite someone to take a bath together? She must have been scared silly by that crazy woman, or maybe her brain froze from the cold water.But it seemed like there was still hope for him to stay.At that moment, all she wanted was for Kendrick to be by her side.Kendrick's eyes deepened layer by layer, when did his proud and aloof little wife ever take the initiative like this?It seems like he was really scared, and it appears that he really started to rely on him?Kendrick's silence made Annabelle feel a little awkward, so she quickly retorted, "I was just kidding. If you don't want to, then forget it..."Kendrick chuckled and said, "What's the rush? You always make me take off my clothes."Annabe

"Don't... how strange..." Annabelle felt so embarrassed in the water.Kendrick gently brushed aside her damp long hair and kissed her fair and smooth back, trailing his kisses along her spine, gradually arousing her.Annabelle remembered the historical romance novel she had read, where the general had to leave on his wedding night and didn't even have time to unveil his bride's red veil. A year later, the bride braved the wind and snow to visit the military camp.On that snowy night, the general carried his young wife into the military tent and ordered someone to heat up water. He then placed the frozen young wife into a wooden tub to bathe and warm herself. Later on, the general also got into the bathtub, and as they continued washing... they proceeded with what was supposed to happen on their wedding night.When Annabelle watched that scene, she also wondered a little bit. How would the general and his wife in the barrel..."Don't want to give it a try?" Kendrick whispered.Annabell

"Ah!" Annabelle exclaimed; her entire body already being lifted out of the bathtub by him.He wiped the water stains off her body with a towel while kissing her lips, but because both of them were a little excited, the wiping was extremely perfunctory. Soon, Kendrick carried Annabelle to the bed.Kendrick, who had regained the initiative and control, almost swallowed her whole...Until the sound of knocking on the door came.Annabelle looked as if she finally saw the shore, opening her misty eyes, hoping Kendrick would stop. However, he seemed to not have heard the knocking sound.Annabelle just clenched her lips tightly, preventing herself from making any ambiguous sounds.Seeing her being so patient, Kendrick developed a mischievous interest, which almost made Annabelle unable to hold back.The sound of knocking on the door came again, persistently and tenaciously."Mr. Gregory, I am Wilson White. May I inquire about the current condition of Mrs. Gregory?"Outside the door, Wilson k

Wilson thought for a moment and said, "The young master is strong and healthy, so he doesn’t really need any supplements. But since he works so hard, taking some extra nourishment could help. This recipe is mainly to strengthen his body, boost his immunity, and keep both him and the young lady in good health—it won't harm their bodies."Trey took the prescription and promised to deliver it.After Annabelle fell asleep, Kendrick quietly left the suite. He went to his grandfather’s room.Staying up on New Year's Eve was a tradition for his grandfather, and with everything that had happened tonight, he certainly wouldn’t be going to sleep.When his grandfather saw Kendrick enter, he was holding a small set of polished rosewood prayer beads. He came into the living room of the suite.“How is Annabelle?”“She’s asleep. She’ll be fine.”“That’s good. Lisa is in the basement nanny’s room; her condition is stable for now.”After a pause, his grandfather looked at Kendrick and said, "What are y

Kendrick furrowed his brows and fell silent for a moment before replying, “Emilia was a girl I met during a difficult period in my life. We were never in a relationship, and I have no intention of breaking up with Annabelle.”As for the rest, Kendrick didn’t think it was necessary to explain further to his grandfather.“Alright. As long as you know your limits. My stance is simple—we men must be responsible. I admire Annabelle. If you ever think of doing anything foolish, I’ll be the first to break your legs.”“…"Kendrick almost wanted Annabelle to hear those words. Maybe it would make her feel more secure.After leaving his grandfather’s suite, Kendrick returned to his own room. Annabelle was curled up, looking cold. He climbed into bed and pulled her into his arms.He wasn’t sure if Lisa had mentioned Emilia to Annabelle, but no matter what, Kendrick was wondering if he should tell Annabelle about Emilia.Meanwhile, in another suite, Marvin spent a sleepless night.

"I didn’t mean it like that, I was just asking..." Annabelle’s voice became barely audible by the end.Young Master paused for a moment before sighing deeply."I wasn’t planning on telling you this. But since you asked, I’ll tell you the truth. The anesthesia needle that you took for him, it likely had poison in it. The toxins are still in your body, and physical intimacy will speed up your blood flow, allowing the poison to spread more quickly through your organs."He hadn’t intended to tell her about the poison, afraid it would lead her to suspect something about him. But to prevent her from having any further physical contact with Kendrick, he told her the lie that intimacy would worsen her condition.Now that he had reclaimed the Whitney family’s business, his position was still unstable. With internal and external threats looming, he couldn’t take Annabelle away immediately.He couldn’t afford to be open about their relationship either, as he feared the enemy might use her to for

Annabelle looked up at the towering Ferris wheel behind her, surprised that Young Master wanted to take her up there. Maybe he thought the noise below was too much, and the Ferris wheel would be quieter?She didn’t think much of it and followed him into one of the cabins. As the Ferris wheel started, the cabin gently rose.Annabelle quickly realized that they were the only ones on the ride, which seemed to have been arranged by Young Master. He never liked being in crowded places.When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, it stopped.Separated from the noise below, under the deep blue sky, it felt like there were only the two of them.It should have been a romantic moment, but the longer Annabelle sat with Young Master in the small, enclosed space, the more she felt a sense of pressure.She’d never felt this way before when she was with him.She had no interest in admiring the city lights. Her palms were even sweating.Seeing her nervousness, Young Master let out a bitter smile

Julissa pressed her lips together and put the handkerchief back into her bag. “Forget it, he probably won’t care about the two handkerchiefs. After all, he’s so rich.”Annabelle narrowed her eyes. “Not necessarily. Being rich doesn’t mean you’re not sentimental. Maybe he’s had that handkerchief for years and really likes it.”Julissa frowned at Annabelle. “Is that for real?”“Who knows? But it’s not like you to be this conflicted.” Annabelle observed Julissa.Julissa didn’t respond, continuing to nibble on her ice cream cone.Was she really conflicted? Why did she feel so awkward every time she thought of Scott?The two walked around for a while, and Annabelle glanced at the time. There were still five minutes until eight o’clock.“I need to meet the young master. Will you be okay on your own for a bit?”Julissa held onto Annabelle, not letting go, and pleaded, “Can I come with you? I promise I won’t get too close—just want to see him from a distance.”She had come today purely out of

Annabelle parked her car outside the amusement park and walked to the entrance, where she spotted Julissa enjoying an ice cream."Looks like you're in a bad mood? Be careful, or you'll get a stomach ache," Annabelle teased.Julissa waved her off with a smile. "Don't worry, I’ve been tough since childhood. My body can take it!" She handed Annabelle a cup of hot orange juice. "Here you go."Annabelle opened the cup, and the warm, sweet orange juice went down easily. Looking at Julissa's cheerful face, the tension she had felt earlier melted away.Since they still had some time before meeting Young Master, Annabelle wasn’t in a hurry and decided to take a leisurely stroll around the amusement park with Julissa."Did you manage to sneak out to meet the handsome Young Master without your husband finding out?" Julissa asked mischievously.Annabelle blushed slightly. "Almost got caught."She couldn’t resist teasing Julissa. "You’ve never even met Young Master. How do you know he’s a handsome

Some time later.Kendrick straightened up, and Annabelle let out a long breath. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that while he had loosened his tie, she had been stripped bare, like a slippery fish.She shot him a weak glare, and Kendrick chuckled. He even deliberately licked his lips, tying his tie back up before covering her with the blanket. He kissed her cheek and said, "If you're tired, take a nap. When you wake up, we’ll go home together."Annabelle buried half of her face in the blanket, watching him walk out of the room with that wicked smile.After a while, she could hear Kendrick talking with his subordinates outside.She could imagine him, as usual, looking calm and in control, just like how he’d so skillfully handled every little detail of her body earlier. A smile tugged at her lips, and she closed her eyes, feeling both exhausted and satisfied.---A week passed, and the day she had arranged to meet with Young Master arrived.Annabelle hesitated for a moment but d

"What?" Annabelle didn’t understand what he meant.Kendrick gazed at her for a moment, then glanced at the documents on the table and asked, "How did you get the contract?""...He just gave it to me!""He didn’t set any conditions for you?"Annabelle shook her head. There were no conditions, and he even gave her a mansion. However, she could tell Kendrick wasn’t in the best mood, so she decided not to mention the mansion, worried he might overthink things."Is this contract really that valuable?"Seeing she genuinely didn’t understand, Kendrick smiled. "It’s okay, it’s worth about a billion.""..." Annabelle was thinking about how many zeros followed that one.Her math wasn’t great, and she had just woken up, so her mind was a little foggy. Forget the billion for now; she asked Kendrick, "Isn’t this the deal you two had already agreed on? Does it have anything to do with me?"Kendrick, never one to hide the truth from her, answered straightforwardly. "He wants to use the billion-dolla

Hearing Elio refer to him as "your husband" made Annabelle realize that maybe he no longer had any attachments to her.She looked at the document in her hand. "What is this?""He’ll know when he sees it," Elio said.Annabelle didn’t understand their business dealings, so she didn’t ask any more questions. She thought it was just a message for her to deliver and carefully stored the contract.The two of them walked around the garden. When they were about to leave, Elio handed her a small leather pouch, about the size of his palm.Inside were the keys and access card for the garden."I originally planned for this to be our new home, but since you’re already married, consider it a wedding gift for you."He had always harbored affection for Annabelle and was deeply grateful to her. So he wouldn’t force her but would only wish her happiness. If she ever needed anything, he would always stand by her.But the gift was too grand, too valuable, and Annabelle refused to accept it.Finally, Elio

Rewind to when Annabelle was 14 years old. Elio, then just 20, appeared to her as nothing more than a frail little beggar.The beggar’s injuries had healed, and he was set to leave Springvale Temple the next day. On the night before his departure, he asked Annabelle to draw something on the scar on his chest.While she was drawing, the beggar asked, "If I become successful in the future and can grant you one wish, what would you want?"It was summer at the time, and the house often leaked when it rained. There were also bugs everywhere. Annabelle replied, “I just want a clean and comfortable house.”The beggar smiled and said, "If I were to give you a house, what kind would you want?"Annabelle thought it was just the fantasy of two poor people imagining a better future, saying things that were unrealistic. Since it was a fantasy, she didn’t give it much thought and dreamed, "I’d want a house where I can open the window and see mountains in the distance and water close by, with a litt

Looking at the man beside her, Kendrick met her gaze. He had a slight smile, but his eyes were filled with warning.Annabelle couldn’t understand. Was there something wrong with wishing Elio success in his confession? Or was it because she had taken his pulse that Kendrick was feeling jealous?Sighing inwardly, Annabelle felt helpless living with the "lemon king" himself.After a while, Annabelle unbuckled her seatbelt and went to the restroom. This gave Elio the chance to speak with Kendrick."About the project I mentioned earlier, Mr. Gregory, have you given it any thought?""I’m not interested," Kendrick replied coldly.Elio raised an eyebrow. "Oh? But it’s a ten-billion-dollar project. It’s just the solution you need right now."Kendrick gave a faint smile, then coldly added, "I’m a businessman, and I like making money, but not by selling my woman."Elio had proposed using a ten-billion-dollar Shadelake real estate project in exchange for Annabelle’s freedom.
