I wish it were you Chapter 463 The More You Suppress, The Stronger the Rebound
Liam wasn't particularly smart, but he was hardworking. He always ranked at the top of his class. He was the city's top scorer in the middle school exams and the provincial top scorer in the college entrance exams. From childhood to adulthood, he had received every award and scholarship available, even winning a Youth Innovation Award.Julissa, the daughter of Uncle Hickman, was like a porcelain doll in a showcase to him, like a princess in a castle. She had lived a life Liam envied—beautiful, sunny, sometimes mischievous, and a bit rebellious.Liam admired her free-spirited life because he could never live like that.He also knew that Julissa liked him. When he tutored her, she would often smile at him foolishly. She was harsh with everyone but always kind to him. He liked this little sister too.As they grew older, he realized that Hickman Uncle and Aunt had already seen him as their son-in-law, so after graduation, he and Julissa would marry.Liam had never considered any other pos

Liam's voice grew tired and full of guilt as he spoke, as if he couldn't continue any longer."It’s okay, go ahead," Julissa responded, her voice dry, giving him a bit of courage.She knew that Liam hadn't truly ended things with Maya, and she had become numb to their lingering connection. Now, Julissa just wanted to hear the truth from Liam.He continued.Maya came to his house again but refused to have sex with him. She said her boyfriend was coming back, and he would find evidence of her being with another man.Even though her boyfriend didn’t love her, Maya still didn’t want him to think she was a woman who cheated.Liam was furious. He shoved her onto the bed, mocking her for being a slut who still wanted to maintain a clean image.Maya retorted, "Aren’t you the same?"Liam replied, "Fine, since I’m already ruined, we might as well die together. Let’s be a pair of dog men and women."And so, they once again tumbled into bed together, seemingly out of revenge. They used each other

"I should have figured it out earlier. I’m sorry for you…" Liam murmured."Don't say sorry. It just hurts to hear it," Julissa choked up, took a deep breath to calm herself, and continued, "No matter what kind of feelings you had for me, listen to me. Liam, I loved you. I loved you sincerely, wholeheartedly. I have no regrets, no apologies, and now, I have no resentment. Thank you for telling me the truth. I’ll let you go, and I hope you live more freely in the future."Without giving him a chance to respond, Julissa hung up the phone. She took another deep breath and exhaled slowly.She tried to calm herself and go back to the dinner, but she couldn’t help but shed tears.She had loved for so many years, only to realize it was just loneliness she had loved.Thinking back, she was quite foolish, so blindly believing someone liked her.From the first time she kissed Liam and he awkwardly pulled away before reluctantly hugging her, she should have realized that wasn’t love.Her heart ra

Julissa nodded and gave him a smile. She pointed to a bench nearby. "I’ll sit there for a bit, get some fresh air, then go back. I don’t want to freeze either."She spoke as though nothing had happened, then turned and walked toward the bench.But after just a few steps, her heel caught on the stone path and she stumbled, falling straight to the ground.Her palm hit the ground, scraping off a large patch of skin. The sharp sting of pain immediately hit her.She sucked in a breath, shook her aching hand, then looked at her broken heel.Her heel was snapped…Julissa couldn’t help but let out a mental sigh. Why was everything going wrong for her? She hadn’t done anything bad, hadn’t harmed anyone, yet everything was falling apart. Why was she so unlucky?Mr. Nichols had initially turned to leave, but hearing Julissa’s cry, he turned around and saw her holding her broken heel, staring up at the sky with no tears left to cry.He sighed, silently wondering why he had ever thought it was a g

Julissa was carried all the way by Scott until they reached the hotel’s side entrance, where he gently put her down.Scott handed the car keys to his assistant, who had been waiting there, asking him to drive his sports car away. Since he had drunk a bit of wine, he didn’t plan to drive himself back. He instructed the hotel driver to take them to a nearby tavern in the assistant’s Range Rover.“Are you not going back?” Julissa asked.“Looking at you like this, how could I go back?” Scott purposely scowled.Julissa tugged at her hair and apologized, “Mr. Nichols, you really don’t have to worry about me. I’m Annabelle’s friend, but you’re taking such good care of me... it makes me feel guilty. How about this? I’ll take a taxi back to the hotel, and you go ahead and do your business.”Scott pursed his lips and, after a moment of silence, said, “I didn’t eat well either.”Julissa paused and then grinned slyly. “I knew it! You big shots are still humans, you have stomachs, and those stomac

Julissa stood up and walked to the little stage.Scott shook his head helplessly but didn’t stop her, knowing that she needed to vent after everything that had happened. That’s why he had accompanied her here to eat and drink.He wasn’t sure if she would get drunk and start clinging to him again, trying to consume him.But if she did, he didn’t mind being consumed again.As he thought about it, he felt a little uneasy, drinking two large gulps of beer. The slight bitterness of the beer spread in his mouth before gradually turning sweet. He wiped his lips, smiling faintly.Julissa had already sat on the stage, picked up the guitar next to her, strummed a few chords, and began to sing an old song.“We’re like behind a layer of glass, we can see each other but can’t touch, even though I’m just a few millimeters away, you wouldn’t know how urgent I am... I can’t express myself…”Scott sighed as he listened from below. The singing was... hard to describe. It was almost as if she was shouti

Julissa ate the fish contentedly, looking like a mischievous cat.Once a person is full, their body warms up, and when the body warms up, the heart feels less cold. Life feels a bit more joyful.This was always Julissa’s logic.Scott, who wasn’t that hungry to begin with, found his appetite stimulated by her."Do you like fish?""Mm, I love both seafood and freshwater fish."Scott squeezed lemon juice onto her fried fish and sprinkled some pepper on his own, saying, "I know a small seafood restaurant in Elfhedge. I'll take you there next time.""Next time?" Julissa chewed on a piece of fish and, with the word "next time" still lingering in her mind, she turned to Scott. "Mr. Nichols, why are you being so nice to me?"It was normal for him to care for her as she was Annabelle’s friend, but now, his care seemed to exceed the normal boundaries.Scott fell silent for a moment before meeting her gaze. "Maybe it’s because you make me hungry."Julissa paused, then laughed loudly. "I love tha

Scott’s face immediately darkened. "My younger brother?""Mm-hmm, your third brother from the Nichols family, Julian!"As she spoke, Julissa took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and showed Scott a picture of Julian.In the photo, Julian looked handsome in a deep blue denim shirt, his hair neatly styled, with sharp features and a bright, sunny smile that exuded warmth and vitality.Scott pursed his lips. "He’s just a bit more handsome, not as perfect as you all think. When he’s home, he just plays with his phone all day, useless at anything, and even grinds his teeth while sleeping."Julissa was stunned. "Is that true?"Scott smirked. "I’m his older brother. Would I lie?"Julissa silently compared herself, realizing that wasn’t too different from her own habits. She wasn’t exactly a model of discipline either—always playing on her phone and talking in her sleep!She nodded seriously. "Then we’re a perfect match…"Scott gave her a sidelong glance. "He’s also a flirt and quite boring

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
