I wish it were you Chapter 401: A Way Out
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. After rescuing A

"Mom, let’s not talk about that night anymore."Whenever the topic of getting Annabelle drunk came up, Marvin felt a headache. He regretted letting his emotions get the best of him and ruining all the good will he had built with her.But Lydia wouldn’t drop it. She gave him a long speech, saying, "Son, women—especially ones like Annabelle, who are more reserved—once you’ve crossed the line with them, things change. After becoming intimate, you’re no longer just a friend in her eyes. And if you’ve got some evidence, well, she’ll follow your lead."She continued, "You’ve got to repeat your efforts to get closer to her. The more you 'cook' together, the more intimate you’ll become. She won’t be able to get away from you. And once her relationship with Kendrick cracks, well, she’ll be yours."Marvin felt a bit embarrassed, his face burning up."Mom, is all of this really... necessary?"Lydia sighed deeply, "Son, this is the law of survival in this world. It’s a dog-eat-dog world. If you w

The next morning, Annabelle woke up feeling sore all over. It was a struggle just to move her fingers, and her legs felt like jelly. This was partly due to falling into the water last night and, of course, partly due to the person responsible for it.She opened her eyes, turned her head, and shot a glare at the man lying next to her. But when she looked at him, her irritation softened. He’d seemed genuinely concerned last night, hadn’t he?She remembered the complicated look in his eyes when he carried her back to the room. He seemed both frustrated and self-blaming for not saving her in time. He always treated her like she was a child, constantly looking after her.Annabelle bit her lip, reaching out to gently touch his eyebrow bone. She had to admit—this guy was handsome, really handsome. He took after both his parents' best traits.But then she started getting irritated again. Being this handsome was a curse! He’d be attracting all sorts of attention!Just as she was lost in her th

Annabelle thought to herself, *I've already given myself to you, and you're still asking me this question? You're really getting a bargain and still acting coy.* In the past, she had thought she shouldn't accept these red envelopes as a fake daughter-in-law, and she planned to return them all when they divorced. But after being so intimate with Kendrick, she had unknowingly accepted the role of the Gregory family's young mistress. Her mindset changed, and for issues that weren't major, she no longer cared too much. For example, the New Year red envelopes… "You did say that what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine," Annabelle said with a smile. "Ugh—why didn’t I notice you’re such a little money grabber?" "I’m just curious," she replied. She still hadn’t told him that she really wanted to buy a little wooden box to store her favorite jewelry in. She was afraid that if she told him, he'd just buy it for her—after all, that amount of money meant nothing to him. But Anna

Annabelle fell into deep thought. While she hadn't learned music to please others, under the circumstances, she decided to bend a little for the big red envelope. "Well, when we get home today, how about I play you a song?" Kendrick curved his lips, lifting her chin, and said with a mischievous smile, "It better sound good." "Of course." Annabelle thought to herself, *Even though my physical skills are practically nonexistent, I can still play the piano!*Last time, when she played a piece for Kendrick during the school anniversary, his reaction showed that it was pretty good. Besides, she had plenty of pieces she was good at, so this wouldn’t be hard for her. Thinking that, she found herself looking forward to getting home sooner. However, Kendrick said they had to wait until after lunch on New Year's Day to head back, so Annabelle spent the morning with Trey in the little garden, trimming the plants as a way of ushering in the new year. Annabelle had never trimmed such

Hmm? She has no intention of compensation at all. This guy is just looking for reasons to tease her...Annabelle muttered to herself, giving him a glare, whispering, "Did you grow four kidneys or something?"Kendrick chuckled softly. "If you really think that way, Annabelle, you might just turn into a bad girl.""..."Annabelle inwardly sighed in exasperation. Why is she always being teased, no matter the situation?Just when she thought most of the guests had arrived and were chatting in the living room, Annabelle planned to sneak back to her room. But just as she was about to enter the elevator, a middle-aged woman, whose exact relation to the family was unclear, grabbed her wrist."Annabelle, come, come, don't go yet! Let me tell your fortune! The first fortune of the new year is always the most accurate."As she spoke, she tried to pull Annabelle towards the sitting room.This enthusiastic woman, plump and dressed in a purple dress, with her hair elegantly styled and heavy makeup,

How strange—she was clearly just a harmless little rabbit, yet it seemed like everyone was trying to trip her up.But Annabelle couldn’t just leave in a huff, especially now that she held the title of "Mrs. Gregory." She decided to let them look—after all, she was curious to see if the fortune the old Taoist had predicted all those years ago would actually be true.So, with Aunt Emma’s guidance, Annabelle sat down, took the coins she was handed, and tossed them six times.Aunt Emma watched intently, and after the sixth toss, she paused for a moment before saying with a serious expression, "Annabelle, your fate is very unique, quite rare."Annabelle thought to herself, "A 'Heaven's Doom Star' is unique and rare, right?"Just then, Lydia, Marvin's mother, walked into the room from a nearby sitting area, just in time to hear Aunt Emma telling Annabelle's fortune.Lydia was quite into fortune-telling herself, and she wanted to know what kind of fate the girl her son had chosen had.

I wish it were you Chapter 430 Mr. Nichols, Are You Socially Anxious Too?
Julissa blinked at Scott, her eyes twinkling like stars.Really? ~Well, that made sense. Considering who Scott was, any guy he introduced to her would undoubtedly be top-tier, a diamond bachelor.“But I’m a sucker for looks. As long as he’s handsome, I don’t mind if he’s a little broke. Oh, and you’ll have to clarify in the papers later that I’m not your girlfriend—I’m just your… assistant! Yeah, just say I’m your assistant.”Scott rubbed his temples. Was there any boss out there who gifted their assistant seven-figure dresses?Maybe. But he hadn’t reached that level of extravagance just yet.As for what exactly she meant to him, even he couldn’t quite define it.His expression darkened slightly as he said in a cold voice, “I’ll agree to that. Now, can you get out of the car?”Julissa glanced at the line of cars behind them—people were already waiting. Holding things up any longer wouldn’t be appropriate.Besides, she had just seen Annabelle go inside and was eager to meet up with he
I wish it were you Chapter 429 I Gregoryarantee You’ll Get Married
Kendrick’s gaze met Ryan’s for a brief moment.Ryan smirked, his eyes cold.Kendrick narrowed his eyes slightly. Was Ryan attending the event as the new heir to the Whitney family, or was he here for something more sinister?But tonight was Mr. Duncan’s event. Would Ryan really dare to cause trouble?When Annabelle followed Kendrick’s gaze, the Bentley had already driven past the hotel entrance, heading toward the underground parking lot.Kendrick retracted his gaze and pulled Annabelle closer to his side. “Let’s go.”He wasn’t afraid of Ryan, but he instinctively wanted to protect her.On Ryan’s side, he had already instructed his assistant, Dereon, to park the car in the underground garage. He wasn’t planning to make a grand entrance through the red carpet anyway. After the car was parked, he and Seraphina would use the private elevator to head straight to the hotel’s interior.Once the car was parked, Dereon followed him out of the car, reminding him, “Young Master, we’re here to h
I wish it were you Chapter 428 Her Skincare Products Are Mine
Annabelle couldn’t help but frown. Wasn’t that a photo of her and Julissa at the hospital?How did the reporters know about this?In other words, did it mean that her every move was under surveillance? The thought made her feel uneasy and repulsed, and her expression immediately darkened.Of course, Kendrick knew the truth behind the photo because Annabelle had told him the day before that she had accompanied Julissa to the hospital.Seeing that the little woman was upset, he gently patted her hand, intending to help her out of this awkward situation.However, Annabelle spoke up first, firing back at the reporter.“That was just me accompanying a friend to pick up her physical exam results yesterday. Does your newspaper rely on hearsay and distort facts to publish every news article?”The male reporter looked embarrassed and stammered, “But you and Mr. Gregory…”Annabelle smiled slightly, her voice calm but firm. “We really appreciate everyone’s concern, but Mr. Gregory and I don’t wa
I wish it were you Chapter 427 Don't Leave My Side Tonight
"No one upset me. It's about Julissa," Annabelle replied, taking the chopsticks and mixing the cucumber. She then told Kendrick about Julissa’s recent emotional struggles and how she kept worrying she was sick. Annabelle was even considering skipping the party tomorrow to accompany Julissa to the hospital for a checkup.Kendrick raised an eyebrow. "Didn’t your friend tell you that she’s going too? And she’ll be there as Scott’s date?""She didn’t say. Really?""Absolutely."Annabelle immediately picked up her phone and called Julissa. Once she confirmed with Julissa, she finally believed Kendrick's words."How did Scott suddenly invite Julissa?"After a few gatherings, Annabelle had noticed that Scott was truly aloof and reserved. So she couldn’t understand why he would suddenly invite Julissa, especially when they had just met for the first time today.Kendrick laughed. "Maybe he just wants to experience the lively energy of the world sometimes."Annabelle agreed. Julissa was indeed
I wish it were you Chapter 426 Not in a Hurry to Eat, but in a Hurry to Eat You
That evening, when Kendrick returned home, he saw the little woman in the kitchen, angrily smashing a cucumber on the cutting board until it was nearly pulverized. She kept smashing it.It was clear that this wasn't just about smashing cucumbers; she was angry.Kendrick walked up behind her and embraced her. "What did the cucumber do to deserve such a beating?"He hadn't even taken off his coat yet, still carrying the chill from outside. But when he held the soft, warm little woman in his arms, he felt all his exhaustion from the day vanish.However, Annabelle was startled. She swung the knife and suddenly turned to the side. "When did you come in?"Seeing her reaction, it seemed like she was ready to hit him with the knife too. Kendrick quickly held her hand, took the knife from her, and set it aside."I thought you heard me. Was the fitting not going well today?""Sabrina is fine," she paused and turned to face him. "I have a question for you.""Go ahead," Kendrick smiled, tucking a

Julissa quickly grabbed the test from him and stuffed it back into her bag.“Uh, the handkerchief... I’ll wash it and return it to you later.”Scott nodded, his gaze lingering on her face for a couple of seconds. “Get in the car. I’ll drive you.”Julissa immediately waved her hand. “No need, no need. I’ll just take a taxi. It’s really convenient.”How could she let Mr. Nichols drive her home? He was probably just being polite.“You’re Annabelle’s friend. Since I promised Kendrick to take care of everything for her today, it naturally includes you.”His voice was calm, and his reasoning was sound.Julissa blinked. “Alright then, thank you, Mr. Nichols.”Once in the car, she couldn’t help but think to herself: Was it just the handsomeness that made his words more persuasive?Her focus shifted, and she wasn’t as upset anymore. But the image of Liam standing with that woman still gnawed at her, making her feel uncomfortable.Why didn’t he chase after her? Didn’t he intend to keep begging
I wish it were you Chapter 424 The Attachment to the Dog
Julissa didn't take the handkerchief and said, “Thanks, but I have tissues.”A handkerchief from Mr. Nichols probably costs thousands, and she's supposed to use it as a tissue? That’s a bit too expensive for a runny nose.She hastily dug through her bag, frustrated as she searched, then said, “I know it looks strange. I just got a call. Apparently, the neighbor’s dog passed away, and I’m a little upset.”She knew she must look odd crying like this on the street, and this man in front of her must be wondering about it. So, to avoid him standing there unsure of what to say, she explained first.Scott smiled faintly and said, “You seem to have had quite a bond with the neighbor’s dog.”Julissa nodded, speaking almost to herself: “We grew up together. When I was in school, if anyone bullied me, the dog would bite them back for me. It always protected me. If my dad hit me on the bottom, the dog would try to plead for me. The neighbor used to say that when I grew up, the dog would stay with
I wish it were you Chapter 423 There’s No Remedy Left
Clothes were scattered across the floor, and on the bed, two people were passionately entangled. They looked so absorbed, so excited... it made her sick.Julissa ran out of Liam’s apartment.Liam chased after her, explaining that the woman was just a physical relationship, and that it was the last time. He insisted he loved only her, Julissa.She had never been so disgusted in her life. She didn’t even want to slap him, afraid of dirtying her hands.Now, just thinking about it made her nauseous.Taking a deep breath, she sipped her fruit tea. When she looked up, she saw two familiar figures walking into her line of sight.One man was handsome and refined, like a graceful gentleman. It was none other than Liam.The woman walking beside him was the one he had claimed was just a physical relationship with no emotions. The "last time." They were still entangled—good thing she didn’t believe his lies.But it was the first time she had seen this woman dressed up. She was pale, delicate, wit
I wish it were you Chapter 422 That Night, It Was This Hand That Scratched Him
Scott gazed at the girl in front of him, “Hmm?”“The president of the Nichols Group, the one featured on the cover of a finance magazine?”Scott lowered his gaze, smiled faintly, and said, “Hello, Miss Hickman.”Julissa quickly extended her hand. “Nice to meet you!”She was so happy because the Nichols family also had a third young master, Julian, a rising star in the entertainment industry. Julissa was a huge fan of him lately. Now that she had met Scott, she thought, since he was a friend of Annabelle, it shouldn’t be too hard to get his younger brother’s autograph or a photo.She felt a little giddy at the thought, and her earlier gloom was completely forgotten.Scott then reached out and shook her hand.It was this very hand that had left three scratch marks on his chest that night, but now it felt so soft.After their handshake, Scott led them into the styling studio.Annabelle could tell from the look on Julissa’s face that she was thinking about something else. She pinched her
