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

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

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

Julissa shuddered. Were the reporters really this dramatic? The cameras were practically shoved in her face. She was lucky she’d been using Annabelle's facial masks recently, otherwise her dry skin would’ve been all over the photos. Just thinking about it made her shudder.She glanced at Scott and couldn't help but frown."I say, Mr. Nichols, could you smile a little? Otherwise, if I start smiling, people might think I'm overly excited and clinging to you."How about a little interaction?Scott frowned slightly. He hadn’t thought of that.Without saying much, he withdrew his hand and placed it around her waist, pulling her a little closer."Eh?"Julissa was about to complain when Scott lowered his head and said, "I don’t like to smile, but I can show it through my actions."As expected, the cameras went crazy, now focusing on his hand resting on her waist, clicking away like mad.But Julissa broke out in a cold sweat. These young masters had a real "prince complex."He said, "I don’t

Kendrick had kissed her waist more than once, not willing to leave even a single inch untouched.He had once said, "Anna, the first time I held your waist, I already wanted you."Annabelle couldn’t recall exactly when it was, but Kendrick reminded her, "At the engagement banquet.""Ah, so you had ill intentions back then!" She hadn’t even noticed.Kendrick kissed down her waistline, lightly biting her delicate skin. "I thought you were the one with ill intentions toward me.""I wasn’t very clear that day. I just didn’t want to marry that old man…"Kendrick gave her a sharper bite, making Annabelle stop talking immediately."So Anna was just keeping me as a backup?" he teased."Not exactly… well, maybe…," Annabelle was utterly flustered, her thoughts a mess.Unable to resist his kisses any longer, she tried to push him away, but he grabbed both of her wrists with one hand, pinning them to her waist, keeping her in place as he continued.During a brief pause in his kisses, his magnetic

Kendrick smiled. "My stance hasn’t changed. He can come back to the company, but if he tries anything shady, he won’t get away with it."After the company’s restructuring, Marvin wouldn’t be able to threaten his position in the short term, and pulling any dirty tricks would be hard. No matter what, he wasn’t going to close his eyes to Marvin’s actions again."You really went hard on him last time. He and his mother must hate you even more now."Kendrick’s face turned cold. Scott was referring to when Marvin had been set up with the "duck" incident and the media exposed his love for men.Kendrick’s expression darkened. "When he started developing feelings for Anna, he should’ve known how I’d react. That incident was just a small lesson. If he does anything else…"He didn’t continue, but Scott nodded silently. He understood Kendrick’s approach—those scandals had been the lightest punishment Marvin could get."Speaking of which, why did you suddenly bring Julissa here? Finally interested

"Silly girl," Briley said with a smile, adjusting her niece’s crooked earring. "I know Anna. With her temperament, your brother-in-law will surely grow tired of her sooner or later. When that happens, both the Sanchez family and the Castillo family will need you."Lila’s vanity inflated at her aunt’s words."Okay, Aunt, I will definitely try my best!"Briley smiled faintly. "Good, that’s the right attitude."Looking at her niece’s enthusiastic expression, she felt reassured.For the sake of the Sanchez and Castillo families? No. She simply didn’t want Annabelle to be this happy.When she had arranged the marriage between the Sanchez and Gregory families, it was to save the Sanchez Corporation, and because she knew that Annabelle, with her past and her disfigurement, would never be favored in the Gregory family. She would live like a neglected concubine—alone for life.But she hadn’t expected that Annabelle’s appearance had already fully recovered, and Kendrick treated her so well afte
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-12I wish it were you Chapter 435 Hidden Motives
Annabelle shook her head, feeling a bit distracted. The man from earlier—she didn’t recognize him, yet something about him seemed familiar. Where had she seen him before?“Why still looking?” Kendrick lightly tapped her forehead, pulling her attention back.Annabelle rubbed her forehead, about to explain herself, when she heard someone call her name. Turning around, she saw her father walking over.Gavyn’s face was beaming with a nervous yet excited expression, as though a small player had entered the big league. He approached them and said to Kendrick, “I only got the chance to attend this banquet because of you, Kendrick. If it weren’t for you, Mr.Duncan would never have invited me. Now that I’m here, my business partners are looking at me differently. I really need to thank you.”Kendrick smiled lightly, “It’s no big deal, just a small favor.”Annabelle was surprised. So, it was Kendrick who had helped her father attend the event. She also noticed her father was intentionally flatt

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
