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

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

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

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

"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

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

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
Last Updated : 2025-03-11I 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 960 “Can’t Live Without Me Now?”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t willing,” Annabelle replied honestly.If Kendrick had asked her this question two months ago, she would’ve said no—without even thinking.Because having a child meant one more bond, one more tie.Back then, she couldn’t even picture a clean break if they ever parted ways.She didn’t believe in their long-term future—not really.Of course, even now, she wasn’t entirely sure.But at least now, she was willing to try.So she no longer held onto the mindset of walking away unscathed.That meant, when it came to the topic of kids, Annabelle wasn’t dodging it anymore.But truthfully—she still wasn’t ready.“I just... I don’t know if I want to be a mom yet,” she said quietly, her voice soft but clear. “And I don’t even know if I’d be good at it.”Her eyes looked up at him, wide and earnest.In the darkness, her eyes sparkled like twin pearls.Kendrick couldn’t help but press a kiss to them.“Don’t be scared,” he murmured. “I’ve never been a dad either. We’ll figure it
I wish it were you Chapter 959 Would You Want to Have a Baby With Me?
“Trey already told me everything,” Grandpa said bluntly. “Anna didn’t even like you at first. You only got her by pestering her non-stop. Even made her show off your so-called love in front of the press and promise she’d never divorce you.”“…”So Uncle Trey’s lips weren’t that sealed after all.Getting called out like that, Kendrick felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly.“I did win her over with sincerity, Grandpa. The way you’re telling it, I sound like some sleazy scammer.”Grandpa let out a cold hmph, not exactly denying it.“But I’ll give you this—you’ve got a good eye. Anna’s a solid girl. That’s why I’m in such a rush for you—have a kid sooner, and your lives will settle down more, you get it?”“…Got it.”Grandpa commanded a certain authority at home.No matter how sharp, composed, and cold Kendrick appeared in public, in front of Grandpa, he still had to sit down and listen—no room for rebuttal.But in truth, wanting a child wasn’t about tying Anna down fo
I wish it were you Chapter 958 Playing Dumb
Of course Annabelle knew him well—whenever Kendrick said “I’ll try my best,” it was basically code for I probably won’t do it.She was just about to push the topic further when his phone rang. It was the restaurant calling—They were out of chicken wings. Could they swap them for drumsticks?“One moment,” Kendrick said to the caller, then pulled the phone away slightly and turned to Anna.“Babe, no wings. Drumsticks okay?”Annabelle gave him a helpless, slightly amused nod. She was completely speechless at this point—and had zero energy left to argue with him.Fine. Whatever.Kendrick was swamped with work most of the time anyway.These past few days were probably an exception.Once he got busy again, even if he wanted to be frequent, he wouldn't have the time.So she dropped the subject.Half an hour later, the food arrived.They had dinner, clipped the white cat’s claws, and then Annabelle told Kendrick she wasn’t sleepy yet.If he was tired, he could go to bed first—she was heading
I wish it were you Chapter 957 Food, Love, and All That Comes With It
Kendrick couldn’t help but pull the petite woman into his arms and whisper,“I’ll love you and our baby with everything I’ve got.”Annabelle pushed him away slightly, raising an eyebrow.“We don’t even know if there is a baby yet—you sure talk like it’s already a done deal.”Kendrick chuckled and kissed her forehead gently.How could he tell her that what truly filled his heart with joy wasn’t just the thought of raising a child with her…It was the happiness of being fully accepted by her, completely and unconditionally.While Mr. Gregory was basking in his happiness, Annabelle suddenly remembered something.The Young Master had once warned her not to get pregnant.Because of her health.He had said her body wasn’t in a good enough condition to have a child.But right now, she felt fine.Besides, Kendrick had taken her for a full check-up afterward, and everything had come back normal—except for a little malnutrition...Annabelle closed her eyes.She decided to lock away the Young Ma
I wish it were you Chapter 956 A Signal of Love
When Kendrick said those words, even his breath faltered slightly—something rare for him.This time… it was different.Maybe the urge to reproduce was the most primitive human instinct, something engraved deep into their genes.So just the thought that this time it was for a child made him feel unusually stirred.Annabelle felt it too—but in her case, it came more with anxiety than excitement.Having a baby…To her, it felt like a sacred thing.After all, this was about bringing a whole new life into the world.Just the idea of becoming a mother made it hard for her to adjust.Could I really be a good mom?Once there’s a child, life will completely change… Will I be able to adapt?While her thoughts were still a mess, Kendrick’s sweat was already dripping onto her collarbone, trailing down her chest, soaking the sheets beneath them.Her back was sweaty too, dampening the bed even more.There were still so many things to think about—But in that moment… there wasn’t really time to thin
I wish it were you Chapter 955 Can… This Kind of Thing Be Just Tried Out?
What were the two of them feeling at this moment?One was flustered and conflicted.The other—full of ambition.Anna thought, Grandpa treats me like his own granddaughter. Now that he’s seriously ill and doesn’t have much time left, this is his only wish—how could I bear to refuse?But if she didn’t refuse… did that mean she really had to have a baby?She looked at Kendrick. He was also looking at her.Annabelle could feel her cheeks heating up in an instant.Kendrick’s thoughts were different. Having a baby was something they could take their time with, sure—but now that Grandpa had made it clear, they couldn’t just leave it to fate anymore. It needed to be planned.He hadn’t yet had enough time to enjoy their two-person world.But maybe… adding a little monkey to the mix would make life even more fun?So before Anna could even speak, Kendrick took her hand and turned to Grandpa with resolve:“Don’t worry, Grandpa. We’ll do our best!”The old man nodded in satisfaction, patting his g
I wish it were you Chapter 954 Still Haven’t Held a Great-Grandchild
The old man had been about to scold his eldest grandson—Your wife was hospitalized for poisoning, and you still had the nerve to stay home?!But as he thought about it a bit more, something didn’t add up.His granddaughter-in-law said she’d come into contact with a poisonous plant by the seaside and had only just recovered, arriving at the estate this morning.Meanwhile, Han Ye—this brat—had been moping around at home these past couple of days, burning up with fever, looking totally out of it.Could it be… the two of them had a fight?The old man sipped his tea, glanced at his granddaughter-in-law, then at his grandson.Speaking of which, he thought, these two have been married for over half a year, almost a year now. And still no sign of wanting a child.Was it a lack of emotional foundation? Or were they planning to just play around for a couple more years?Anna was still young, sure—no rush.But Kendrick had just turned 31 after the New Year. How was he not in a hurry?Besides, hav
I wish it were you Chapter 953 What Would He Taste Like?
Kendrick said seriously, “Your stomach’s been empty for two days. If you eat this right away, it might hurt. I’ll have the staff bring up something warm and easy to digest.”As he spoke, he picked up the cordless phone by the bed and made a call downstairs.And while he was at it, he took the strawberries with him.Annabelle followed him off the bed, trying to sneak one from the plate—only to have her hand gently smacked by the sly old fox. Smack.The little bunny puffed up her cheeks and withdrew her hand, sulking.She plopped down on the sofa outside and waited obediently for her meal.Kendrick hung up and sat across from her, leisurely eating the strawberries one by one, clearly enjoying himself.The bunny’s cheeks puffed out more and more, like she was hiding a whole carrot in there.It was rare to see Anna getting this worked up over food. Kendrick felt both amused and a little guilty.Eventually, unable to resist her furious little glare, he relented and offered her one strawber
I wish it were you Chapter 952 I Want Some Too
Kendrick raised an eyebrow, looking down at Marvin from above. "You want to meddle in your brother and sister-in-law's sex life too?"The word “sister-in-law” stung like a needle in Marvin’s chest.He stepped up two stairs until he was eye-level with Kendrick. "Don't get cocky. I’ll make sure Anna sees the real you soon enough."Kendrick gave a mocking laugh. "I'll be waiting."With that, he popped another strawberry into his mouth—this one tasted especially sweet.Meanwhile, Marvin stormed out of the Gregory estate and walked toward the lake. After checking that no one was around, he dialed a number.It took a while for the other end to pick up."What’s going on? Why did you take so long to answer?""Geez, Second Young Master, can you cut me some slack? I’ve had stomach pains all night, didn’t sleep a wink. I’m trying to catch up on sleep now, okay?"Marvin remembered—this unfortunate little reporter was already in the late stages of cancer. He hadn’t known at first, but one day
