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

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.

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

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

In the VIP ballroom of the Imperial Hotel in Elfhedge, a grand engagement party was underway."Let's welcome the groom-to-be and the bride-to-be to have their opening dance!"The groom-to-be, Marvin Gregory, burst into laughter after hearing what the emcee said."Opening dance? You might have thought too highly of that ugly creature!"Upon hearing that, everyone turned to Annabelle Sanchez, the bride-to-be, who had just become a laughingstock.Wearing a veil, she stood quietly on the stage.People started to gossip. Some said that Annabelle, the third girl of the Sanchez family, was disfigured by a fire when she was a child, and she had been living in Springvale Temple in the mountains ever since. She never even went to college.Marvin, on the other hand, was the second eldest son of the Gregory family, handsome and influential. It was reasonable for him to disdain her.That being said, Annabelle was from a prestigious family. Everyone assumed that she was probably on the verge of she

Annabelle was stunned, her brows knitting in confusion.She thought to herself, "It's easy to break off an engagement, yet things are much more complicated when it comes to a divorce. Why bother?'She pondered for a second and said, "OK. But I have a demand."Kendrick smiled helplessly and thought, 'That's rich'But still, he said, "Name it. I can't guarantee you a yes, though."He had a playful expression on his face, making him look like a cunning fox. No one could tell what was on his mind.Annabelle frowned and said righteously, "Sex is definitely off the table after we get married."She looked like a soldier trying to defend her territory. Seeing that, Kendrick couldn't help but grin."Seriously, Ms. Sanchez? You think having sex with me is a loss for you?"Annabelle felt that her cheeks were burning. She thought, 'What a narcissist! Who knows what it's gonna be like? Well, it's true that he is handsome, tall, upright, and dignified in every manner. Yet I'm no nympho, and I don't

Annabelle could distinctly smell the faint aroma of cedar, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol, coming from Kendrick. Combined with the dim light in the car, she felt that the atmosphere was way too erotic.She felt her face getting hotter and hotter. When she tried to push him away, he grabbed her wrist.Kendrick clutched her slender wrist as he raised the corners of his lips, looking discontented."Ms. Sanchez, we're getting married, and yet you won't even let me see your face? That's not very sincere. Don't you think so?Annabelle thought, 'It seems that I just can't get away from it. Fine, then. I'll show him what he wants. Sooner or later, he's gonna see it anyway'.She sighed silently and said, "Step back a little, please."Kendrick grinned as he let go of her wrist."What? You don't wanna scare me?"While he was teasing, she had already taken off her veil.Kendrick was stunned.He had a feeling that she wouldn't be ugly, yet he didn't expect her to be that pretty.With fine fea

Kendrick acted seriously and stroked Annabelle's hair. "All done now. Let's go."She pressed her hair which he had tousled while thinking, 'I know that he was about to rub my head. What a cunning fox! He's such an actor!'Holding that thought in mind, she walked into the lobby together with Kendrick.The marriage registration went smoothly. When it came to the wedding photo session, they came to the studio together and were seated in a chair.Kendrick naturally put his hand on Annabelle's shoulder.Annabelle frowned and glanced at his hand, and then she glared at him.Yet Kendrick didn't see any problem. "It's what couples do when taking photos.""Mr. Gregory, it sounds like you're quite experienced."Annabelle said so with a smile, and then she shoved his hand away without hesitation.Seeing the slightly angry look on her face, Kendrick found her just like a gentle kitten who suddenly flashed its claws and scratched his heart.He felt ... a bit itchy. To be more accurate, he felt a b

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
