Kendrick chuckled. “I said it. No takebacks.”“Good.”Annabelle was willing to endure, so she held that fish bone in her throat until the meal was finished, without anyone noticing.After the meal, the guests didn’t rush to leave. Some went to the game room to play cards, some stayed in the living room to chat over tea, and others went to the garden to admire the fish and flowers.None of them needed to be attended to by Kendrick and Annabelle.So, Annabelle quickly walked ahead, while Kendrick leisurely followed behind. The two of them headed back to their little suite.Kendrick had already noticed her red eyes, as if she were about to devour him, and now she was rushing back to the room.He couldn’t help but feel a little excited. He wondered what his little woman was planning to do to him.Once inside, Kendrick sat obediently on the sofa and said, “Now that no one’s around, if Madam wants to hit me, punish me, or take advantage of me, feel free.”Annabelle swallowed hard. “Get me s

That evening, Annabelle fed Coco a can of venison, which served as its New Year’s feast. The venison had been sent by Jaime, top-quality and tasty. Coco enjoyed the meal so much that it made Annabelle hungry just watching.She hadn’t eaten enough for lunch, so she decided to make an early dinner. After feeding the cat, she went to the kitchen, only to find that Kendrick was already cooking.It seemed like he was making soup?Kendrick was usually busy, and it was rare for him to cook. Annabelle couldn’t help but stand at the door, watching him for a while.He was focused and meticulous, carefully preparing the ingredients. Everything was arranged neatly on the counter—freshly prepared ingredients placed in dishes, seasonings in small bowls, and the kitchen counter was spotless, nothing out of place.From the amount of food, it was clear he was preparing a meal for two.Seeing this man, who was making soup for her, Annabelle’s heart warmed. She suddenly felt that the usually serious and

Annabelle was a little surprised and asked Kendrick, “It’s already after eight, where are we going?”As he entered the wardrobe to change, Kendrick explained, “Seamus and Scott invited me. We usually meet up during the holidays, chat, drink a bit.”Speaking of drinking, Kendrick asked, “Madam, may I have one less drink tonight?”The formal “Madam” made Annabelle think of a general from a novel who always asked permission before drinking.Annabelle pressed her lips together. Since it was the holiday, she decided to let him indulge a little. Besides, the poison in his system had long been neutralized, so a couple of drinks wouldn’t hurt.“I’ll allow you to have a couple of drinks,” she said.“Thank you, Madam.”The two of them finished getting ready and were at the Stellar Bar in less than half an hour.Once they entered the lobby, Kendrick handed their coats to the attendants and led Annabelle upstairs.“Are there others here today?”Annabelle had already had her fill of family and fri
Last Updated : 2025-03-11I wish it were you Chapter 415 Anna, Happy New Year
Annabelle had already discussed the piece with Seamus before performing. It was a famous French love song, with a lively melody perfect for the New Year. Seamus could sing it, and Annabelle could play it on the instrument. They instantly hit it off.At this moment, Annabelle wore a dress, a graceful outfit that complemented her gentle demeanor. Yet, she played a lively foreign song, blending Eastern and Western styles. Rather than clashing, the fusion gave an impression of artistic talent, as though she could master any instrument and any genre with her long fingers.In the audience, Kendrick's gaze grew deeper.Every time Annabelle performed, it captivated him. She always played with a smile, her gaze pure. When she looked at him, it felt like she wasn’t truly looking at him, but at a world only she could see—a beautiful, pristine world that no one could enter.This made Kendrick, who was always so certain, feel a bit of loss. Annabelle was his, but at the same time, not entirely his

At this moment, Kendrick arrived at the stage and took Annabelle's hand. “What are you thinking about?”Annabelle quietly crumpled the note in her other hand and said, “I’m a bit tired. I want to go home.”The gloom in Kendrick’s eyes lifted slightly, and he smiled, smoothing her hair. “Alright, let’s go.”He took the flowers from her and, after greeting Seamus and Scott, led her back to the booth. Afterward, they left the club.In the VIP booth, Ryan watched them leave, his fingers tightening.Anna didn’t rush to see him. This was expected since she was with Kendrick and wouldn’t approach him recklessly.But she didn’t play the song he requested?Ryan clearly saw that Annabelle had crumpled up the note. This surprised him.Was she rejecting him for Kendrick?“Master, at the Mr. Duncan’s banquet on the sixth day of the new year, who will be your partner?” Dereon stood beside Ryan, his voice calm, but his eyes constantly observing his master’s reaction.Ryan tapped his fingers on the m

Annabelle had just gotten into bed, still awake and a bit preoccupied, her thoughts running in circles. She was considering what to do next time she saw the young master—perhaps she should just tell him that she and Kendrick were already...Just as she was thinking about this, Kendrick climbed into bed and pressed closely against her waist in a suggestive manner.Annabelle originally planned to stay quiet and pretend to sleep, but then she suddenly remembered something and quickly turned to face him. "Kendrick, didn't we agree you wouldn't come into my bed for three days?"The three-day rule was a punishment for him leaving a kiss mark on her neck on purpose. But since she was still in his arms, her words lacked any real power.However, Kendrick, upon hearing her, relaxed his hold and said, "Oh right, I forgot. Then I'll leave now."Kendrick actually got out of bed.Just as Annabelle was wondering why he was being so obedient today, she found that he had walked over to her side, wrapp

Once the room fell silent again, Annabelle couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you tired?"Although she had started working out and was in much better shape than before, she still couldn't keep up with Kendrick's... intensity."Wilson's prescription works really fast," Kendrick said with a smile, then paused before adding, "Mostly because I won't be seeing you for the next two days, so I'm prepaying for it."Annabelle was taken aback. "Are you going on a business trip?""Mm, flying to Tokyo tomorrow morning.""Ah, okay," Annabelle nodded. She hadn't heard him mention it before.Kendrick chuckled, saying it was a sudden decision and he hadn't expected it either. However, it was just a project meeting, and he would be back by the fifth day at the latest."Are you going to miss me?" he teased.When Annabelle heard he was leaving for a business trip, she felt a little empty inside but didn't want to admit it. Instead, she stubbornly said, "I can't wait for you to leave. That way, I can get som
Last Updated : 2025-03-11I wish it were you Chapter 419 A Blood Test, Hard to Talk About
"Why do you look so bad? Have you started losing sleep again?" Annabelle asked as she sat down.She knew that since Julissa's car accident, she had been dealing with migraines and insomnia, so she thought her condition had flared up again.But Julissa waved her hand dismissively, as if she didn’t care, and smiled. "Ah, I just had a breakup. Haven’t had much of an appetite lately, so I thought I’d come out and clear my head."Annabelle was shocked. "You broke up with Liam? Weren’t you two preparing for your wedding just a few days ago?"And as far as Annabelle knew, Julissa and Liam had grown up in the same neighborhood, attended the same schools from elementary to university, and were childhood sweethearts. They had planned to get married after graduation, but then Julissa had the accident, falling into a coma for over 20 days. When she woke up, Liam proposed to her immediately.As Julissa’s health improved, she couldn’t continue dancing and became quite depressed. She went to Tahiti

Annabelle bit her lip. She did feel uncomfortable, but she wasn’t like some people who couldn’t tell the difference between jealousy and rage.She understood that Kendrick dancing with Eleanor was just a formality, a gesture in the business world to show that the Gregory and Duncan families would soon collaborate. Even though she wasn’t a businessperson, she understood the logic behind it.“I’m not that childish.”Kendrick smirked, nibbling on her lip. Despite being on the brink of losing control, he patiently explained, “Don’t worry. When I danced with her, we were eight feet apart. A third person could have fit between us.”Annabelle imagined the scene and couldn’t help but smile.As they spoke, his hand had already found its way down her smooth spine, inching lower, making Annabelle gasp for air.The dim light filtering in from the window illuminated him, and she noticed he was drenched in sweat, his eyes bloodshot. The sight made her realize something was wrong.“Why are you sweat
I wish it were you Chapter 449 Pushing Me Away?
By now, Kendrick was drenched in sweat. He casually tugged at his tie and sank into the sofa, sitting in the dark, quietly waiting for the effects of the drug to subside.He took out his phone to call Annabelle, but the call went unanswered until it was automatically disconnected. He dialed again, and the same thing happened.After countless attempts, frustration, worry, and the burning sensation in his body overwhelmed him. He tossed the phone aside, pressing his fingers to his temple in frustration.As time dragged on, each passing second felt like an eternity. His body felt like it was being crawled over by a thousand ants, an unbearable itch gnawing at his very bones.While Kendrick struggled against his desires, Annabelle had returned to the banquet hall.She had been chatting with Elio earlier, but then Julissa called, and the two ladies met again. At that time, Scott had gone off to talk with some business contacts, and Julissa, feeling a bit out of place by herself, wandered a
I wish it were you Chapter 448 Tonight, You're in Luck
Kael’s face turned deathly pale upon hearing those words. Without hesitation, he turned to flee.But Eleanor grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back.“Stand right here.” She then turned to Kendrick. “Are you sure?”Kendrick rubbed his temples, his voice hoarse. “Go check for yourself. I’ll leave it to you.”“Wait a moment.”“What now?”Kendrick’s tone was impatient. Why was Eleanor always so troublesome? Couldn’t she see he was in a hurry?Eleanor took a step closer, lowering her voice. “If I find the person who drugged you, how do you want me to handle them?”“Do whatever you want. Just don’t let them off easy.”With that, Kendrick forced himself to maintain his composure, suppressing the intoxicated feeling overtaking him. He quickly left the banquet hall, heading straight for the lounge where Annabelle had been earlier.Eleanor glanced at Kael and smirked. “That drink—make me another one.”“Ah… Miss Duncan, this…”“Hm?” Eleanor narrowed her eyes.Kael’s legs nearly gave out.
I wish it were you Chapter 447 He’s Burning with Desire, but She’s Reconnecting with Another Man?
Kendrick knew that Eleanor was a woman of high principles. She was straightforward, and she would never stoop to sabotaging someone else’s marriage. If she really had an interest in him, she wouldn’t have waited until tonight to show it, nor would she have used such a low tactic. Eleanor met his gaze for a moment before suddenly laughing, letting out a long sigh. “Fine, I’ll be blunt with you. I’m just testing you for Annabelle, or rather, I’m testing you for my brother.” Kendrick was taken aback by the mention of Annabelle. Eleanor was testing him for her? Annabelle didn’t even know her—why would Eleanor care about her so much? When she mentioned her brother, Kendrick became even more wary. “Testing me for loyalty, for your brother?” Eleanor, naturally straightforward, had already grown tired of pretending to be a delicate woman for her brother’s sake. After seeing Kendrick’s reaction earlier, she felt her brother was overthinking it. Eleanor went on to explain how her br
I wish it were you Chapter 446 She Is the Only Scenery I Want to See
Kael had feelings for Lila, so sending other men to her bed made him uncomfortable.But he figured that after tonight, he would have leverage over Lila—her secrets and weaknesses in his grasp. With that kind of power, he could control her however he pleased.No more work. He could simply hold onto this little rich woman and live the good life.Thinking about how he’d soon have both wealth and beauty, Kael was ecstatic.Meanwhile, Eleanor was also setting a trap for Kendrick.She sipped her wine slowly, sighing. “Watching all of you in your sweet, happy relationships, I can’t help but feel envious. Coming home to a cold, empty house every night… being alone… it’s lonely. I also want someone to keep me warm…”She cast a deep, meaningful glance at Kendrick, thinking that even a fool would understand what she meant.Kendrick looked at her indifferently. “Then why not find someone?”Eleanor smirked. “How about this—I’ll have my driver take Annabelle home first, and we can go somewhere quie
I wish it were you Chapter 445 Watching Him Drink It
“You only sweet-talk me when you need something,” Kael teased, glancing at her pretty face, his narrow eyes narrowing in amusement. Lila didn’t bother to argue. She took out the small package of drugs from her handbag and handed it to Kael, whispering, “I’ve booked a room on the fifth floor, 502. Kendrick is in the small lounge right now. You just need to find a way to mix this into his drink, and follow the plan I told you. Once it’s done, you’ll get this.” She held up two fingers. “Two thousand is too little, right?” Kael flicked the package of drugs. “If Kendrick catches me, I might not make it out of here.” Lila smirked. “Twenty thousand.” Kael paused, then grinned. “Deal! You really are generous, Miss Castillo.” He put the drugs in his pocket and stood up to leave, but Lila stopped him. “Not done yet. There are two small packages inside. If you mess up once, there’s still one more chance. Remember, watch him drink it.” “Okay, don’t worry!” After Kael left, Lila
I wish it were you Chapter 444 Not Afraid of the Cold
From a distance, Lila watched Kendrick, her face scrunched with worry as she grabbed her aunt Briley's hand. "Aunt, why is my brother-in-law dancing with that woman, laughing and talking? Doesn’t that mean he doesn’t really like my sister, but only dislikes me?" Briley frowned slightly, feeling a bit vexed. She said, "Why worry? Just because he rejected you doesn’t mean he doesn’t like you. He might just not want to get too close to you in front of Annabelle." Lila thought about it and reluctantly agreed. "But if that woman gets her chance, won't I lose mine?" Briley gave her a look of irritation. "Why are you so impatient? You need to leave a good impression on Kendrick. Pushing yourself onto him won’t work. If you want a man’s heart, you have to take your time." Lila understood, but she felt that Kendrick had no real impression of her—or maybe none at all. She was beautiful, yes, but Annabelle was even more stunning. Other women at the banquet were no less attractive e
I wish it were you Chapter 443 Feeling Uneasy Without Seeing Him
"Thankfully, he's quite interesting..." Annabelle wasn’t keen on discussing her arranged marriage or the developments between her and Kendrick. After all, it involved personal emotions, and she preferred to keep it private. Elio nodded. He thought that there really wasn’t the kind of relationship between Annabelle and Ryan that he had imagined. It seemed their marriage was just a result of family arrangements. But he wasn’t sure about the current state of their feelings for each other. If they were merely a couple in name, or if Kendrick couldn’t pass Eleanor’s test tonight, then he wouldn’t just stand by and watch. He was eager to compete with Kendrick, to challenge him. Hearing that the dance was coming to an end, Annabelle decided to go find Kendrick. Elio smiled and asked, "What, afraid he’ll be stolen away by Eleanor?" Annabelle awkwardly smiled and denied it. "Then don’t rush. He’ll probably be discussing business with my father soon. I bet you’re not a fan of th
I wish it were you Chapter 442 A Little Bit of Injustice
Annabelle felt a wave of emotion. Looking at the frail and pitiful person from back then, now so healthy and clearly a young master of a prominent family, she couldn’t help but feel happy for him."You were really a bit much earlier, recognizing me but not acknowledging it."He smiled, "I was actually thinking of going a little further and scaring you more, but I was afraid you’d slap me in front of everyone, and that wouldn’t be fun."Annabelle laughed, "How did you become Mr. Duncan’s son?"Elio sighed and smiled helplessly, "I’ve always been his son. It’s just that I was imprisoned by some envious friends for three years, tortured in every possible way. Eventually, they threw me into a ravine to feed the wolves, and that’s when I met you. At the time, I really thought I had encountered a little fairy."Annabelle remembered treating his wounds and still felt a little shaken. She also recalled how hard it was to carry him back, taking many breaks along the way. Smiling, she said, "I
