I wish it were you Chapter 469 You Make Me Hungry
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

The way Annabelle looked was both cute and alluring. Kendrick walked over and hugged her.“Let me have a sip.”Annabelle quickly dodged, “No, the milk tea has caffeine. Aren’t you already excited enough?”Kendrick then hugged her from behind and kissed her neck, whispering, “It’s always excited. What should we do? Maybe we should go for another round?”Annabelle was startled and quickly broke free, handing him a bottle of water. “How about another bottle of water?”Kendrick sighed silently and took the bottle. Since he arrived at the hotel, he had been drinking water non-stop to speed up his metabolism. He felt like if he kept drinking this much, he’d risk electrolyte imbalance and water intoxication.Thankfully, the medicine arrived just in time after about ten minutes. Annabelle made him take the western medicine first, then she put on her coat and prepared to use the hotel kitchen to make soup medicine for him.Just as she was about to leave, Annabelle remembered something and remi

Annabelle quietly pulled out the knife and gripped it tightly, just as she thought the man would discover her. But then, his phone rang.The man answered the call, “Big Brother, okay, I’ll go now.”He hung up, turned around, and left the kitchen without approaching Annabelle any further.When the kitchen was silent again, only the faint bubbling sound from the medicine pot remained. Annabelle sighed in relief and put the knife back. Her palms were slick with sweat.She was worried the man might return, so she quickly turned off the heat and poured the medicine into a thermos before heading upstairs.The two men’s behavior was clearly suspicious, and she decided to return to her room first to tell Kendrick what she had seen, so he could notify the hotel staff.She picked up her pace, anxious that if she was too slow, the victim might already be harmed.Just as she exited the elevator, she saw Kendrick.It seemed like he had been waiting for her.“You came out?” Annabelle asked in confu

Kendrick said it was likely someone high up who had just been transferred from the headquarters. After the major reshuffling of the company, Kendrick had managed to secure his position and stabilize his standing within the organization. However, in the process, he had inevitably made a few enemies. As for who exactly, they would only know once Jaime caught the two people who had poisoned him tonight. Until then, it was all speculation.Annabelle, who had been listening intently, couldn’t help but feel a lingering sense of dread. The thought that someone had tried to harm Kendrick—and had come dangerously close to succeeding—was enough to send shivers down her spine. She knew that whoever was behind this wouldn’t stop at just one attempt. If they had failed this time, they would surely try again, and the next time, they might not be so careless. The realization made her heart race, and she felt a cold sweat forming on her palms. She glanced at Kendrick, her expression pale and uneasy.

Kendrick’s voice resonated in her ears, sending a strange sensation through her body, making Annabelle feel weak and unable to push him away.As they swirled together, Annabelle felt her rationality slipping away, leaving behind only sweet, intoxicating feelings.Would there be a baby tonight?Annabelle felt a mix of unease, fear, and a subtle sense of anticipation...The room fell into quiet again.Kendrick leaned against her shoulder, breathing heavily for a moment before chuckling quietly, “Still on cloud nine?”Annabelle opened her eyes and smacked his shoulder lightly.“Want to wash up?”Annabelle shook her head, her voice soft and exhausted, “No, I’m too tired.”Seeing her weariness, Kendrick felt a twinge of guilt. After all, he was the cause of her fatigue.Looking at the clock, it was nearly 2 AM. Seeing that her eyes were nearly closing, he kissed her forehead gently. “Then I’ll carry you.”Annabelle obediently let him carry her to the bathroom, and they showered together be

Kendrick used the remote to open the curtains, allowing the moonlight to bathe her.He propped himself up, looking down at her on the bed.Annabelle was only wearing a cream-colored silk robe, the sash loosely tied around her waist.With a gentle tug, Kendrick loosened the belt, revealing her chest and shoulder as the robe fell slightly.The ruby on her chest reflected a faint light, her long hair slightly curled, soft and spread over the pillow. A few unruly strands lay on her pale shoulder, while she looked like a little girl who had found a treasure. Her eyes sparkled, brighter than the gems themselves.Kendrick’s fingers slid from her chin down to the pendant on her chest. He thought she looked like a little enchantress.“Annabelle, you really are a little demon, aren’t you?”His gaze deepened, and he leaned in to kiss the corner of her lips. Annabelle immediately realized what he was about to do next and quickly stopped him.“If you want to keep your body healthy... you’ll need t

Kendrick narrowed his eyes. “Alright, what kind of gift do you want to give me?”Annabelle smiled mysteriously. “Since it’s a gift, I can’t tell you in advance. But it’ll probably take about a week.”“It’s fine. I’m willing to wait.” Kendrick kissed her forehead.He could sense that the relationship between them had changed.There was no more awkwardness or distance. He cherished this new feeling.Though deep down, he still felt a vague unease, as if there was a time bomb buried under their seemingly peaceful life.When it would explode, he didn’t know.Annabelle also had a little worry on her mind.In a week, the Young Master would want to see her to personally deliver the next round of medicine to help her body recover.She wasn’t sure whether she should tell Kendrick.If she told him, he might not be happy. If she didn’t, it might seem like she was hiding the fact that she was meeting another man.When this thought crossed her mind, she was startled.When did the Young Master becom

The faint scent of alcohol lingered on his breath, making Julissa’s ears grow hot. She blushed and gave a small nod.“And you?”Scott pulled her into a tighter embrace.“If I didn’t miss you, why would I come back two days early?”Julissa was both amused and a little exasperated.This guy—he always spoke in rhetorical questions. Couldn’t he just say, I missed you?Even when he confessed before, it was the same thing—made her think for a moment he was actually insulting her.Like, If I didn’t want to see you every day, why would I hire an assistant like you?It took her a good while to realize that was his version of a confession.But thinking about it more deeply… sweet words are just that—words.Even if Scott didn’t know how to be verbally romantic, did it really matter?He had driven all afternoon just to get back from Shadelake and surprise her. He’d even thoughtfully prepared gifts for her parents.That kind of sincerity meant more than anything he could’ve said.Julissa turned ar

As Mrs. Hickman spoke, Julissa quietly glanced at Scott.She did hope he would stay.Not because she wanted a free ride to work the next morning.It was more like… she’d invited a friend over to play, and now that it was getting dark, she just couldn’t bear for them to leave—really wanted them to sleep over.But Scott smiled and said, “I’ll head back. It’s a quick drive anyway.”Julissa puffed out her cheeks and looked over at her parents.“Yeah, let him go. I’ve already set an alarm for 6 a.m.—I’ll get up early and squeeze into the subway. It’s fine, I can manage.”Scott frowned a little. “It is pretty far from your place to the office… want me to switch your schedule tomorrow?”Mr. Hickman glanced at his daughter and let out a small, helpless laugh.This mischievous girl… deliberately making herself sound so pitiful—early wake-ups, crowded commutes. But really, it’s just that she couldn’t bear to let her boyfriend leave.Oh well, daughters grow up. Might as well let her be.So final
I wish it were you Chapter 968 She’s a Woman, a Real Woman!
Actually, Julissa had already noticed that there was still one paper bag left untouched among the gifts Scott brought upstairs.If it wasn’t something for her parents, then why would he have brought it up?Now that both her mom and dad had gotten gifts, maybe… that last one was for her?So she sat obediently on the couch like a kindergartener waiting for the teacher to hand out presents, eyes sparkling with anticipation.Scott chuckled, gave her hand a gentle pat, and sure enough, picked up the final pink bag and handed it to her.“Here. Yours.”Julissa’s whole face lit up in an instant—She knew it! There’s no way Mr. Nichols would forget her!Inside the pink bag was a cream-colored, sturdy gift box. It looked elegant and refined. What kind of surprise would he have picked out for her?Heart full of excitement, Julissa opened the box.She saw her gift.How to describe the feeling… She was happy. Really.But there was also the tiniest bit of disappointment.Inside was a box of pastries
I wish it were you Chapter 967 A Little Bit of Bittersweet
Scott had seen plenty of Julissa’s careless moments.He especially remembered the time she casually grabbed a handful of tea leaves, tossed them into a cup, and poured in some hot water—voilà, tea.He’d never imagined that this same girl—his girlfriend—could be so calm and graceful.But right now, watching her quietly make tea, he realized: this quiet elegance seemed to reveal something deeper, something true to her nature.He had always felt that Julissa was a bundle of contradictions. Sometimes she was fiery and full of uncontainable energy, other times she was incredibly patient and resilient.Now, watching her make tea, sharing a meal with her parents, seeing their everyday family life up close—Scott finally started to understand.Julissa’s cheerful, sunny personality came from this warm and accepting little family of hers. But her quiet strength and simplicity, those clearly came from her down-to-earth parents.And the more he thought about it, the luckier he felt to have met som

Scott helped clear the table, but Mrs. Hickman chuckled as she took the empty plates from his hands.“Scott, go relax in the living room, I’ll handle the cleanup.”Then she turned to her daughter,“Julissa, don’t make more trouble for me—go brew some tea instead. It’s his first time visiting, you should keep him company.”Only then did Julissa give up her rare burst of enthusiasm for dishwashing and lead Scott out of the kitchen.First stop: washing their hands.While standing at the sink, Julissa whispered to Scott,“We have very clear division of labor at home. My dad cooks and mops the floors. My mom does the dishes and laundry. Basically, if she doesn’t like doing something, my dad does it.”Scott nodded with an expression of dawning understanding—no wonder her dad had vanished after dinner and was now chilling in the living room watching TV with zero guilt.“Then what about you?” he asked. “What’s your job?”Julissa blinked. For a second, she was stumped.What was her job at home

Mr. Hickman nodded,“You went to Shadelake for business?”“Yes,” Scott replied, “Had to attend a branch office opening.”Julissa sneaked a glance at him and noticed that whenever Scott spoke to her father, he was especially well-behaved—gentle, polite, not a trace of that usual icy CEO demeanor.Tsk tsk, she thought. Is the aloof version fake, or is this obedient one just an act?Either way, Julissa kind of loved this extra-sweet version of her CEO.After the brief greetings, Mr. Hickman returned to the dining room, while Mrs. Hickman fetched an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl for their guest.Scott changed into the house slippers and took off his suit jacket. Julissa quickly took it and hung it on the rack for him.“I’m going to wash my hands. Where’s the bathroom?”“I’ll show you.”So off she went, leading her boss boyfriend to the bathroom like a little tour guide. While Scott washed up, Julissa stood nearby with sparkly eyes, waiting patiently to hand him a towel.“Here, use mi

Mrs. Hickman’s eyes lit up.“Scott’s here?”Julissa looked completely confused.“I don’t know! He’s supposed to be on a business trip, said he won’t be back till the day after tomorrow. I’ll go take a look.”As she spoke, she was already slipping on her shoes and rushing out the door—her heart pounding like crazy the whole way down to the first floor.The moment she stepped out of the building, she saw a black SUV parked beside the path.And right next to the car stood none other than her devilishly handsome, endlessly charming CEO boyfriend—the very man she’d been missing day and night!He wore a deep navy designer suit, tie-less, with the top two buttons of his dress shirt undone—just the right mix of sexy and restrained.He looked like he’d just stepped out of a conference room, too busy to change into anything casual before rushing straight over.Scott spotted her too, a faint smile curling at his lips.Julissa’s heart basically took flight.Almost on instinct, she broke into a ru

Scott replied:“I’ll be back the afternoon after tomorrow.”Julissa slumped over her desk, resting her chin on the back of her hand as she typed one last message with the other.“My parents just got back from their trip. Anna dropped off some local goodies today—I'm bringing some over to my folks tonight, so I’ll stay at home for the next couple of days.”“Okay. Let’s talk tonight, after my meeting.”“Mm, okay.”After sending it, she turned off her screen.Saying “let’s talk tonight” basically just meant a one- or two-minute call.Scott’s schedule was packed down to the minute—there was no way he had time to stay on the phone chatting about “I miss you” or “I love you” type stuff.So even though they only talked for a few short minutes each night while he was away, Julissa still felt content.Besides, he really did try to meet her halfway—asking her what she had for dinner, how her day went, little things like that.And just thinking about their nightly check-in already had her lookin

“Anna, you must have plenty of love rivals too—how do you deal with them?”Julissa asked, still brooding.Annabelle thought for a moment.“I don’t think I’ve ever really had to deal with them… Kendrick usually handles it himself.”“...”What else could Julissa say to that?Seriously, finding a mature, level-headed man who knows how to handle relationships—That was peace of mind money couldn’t buy.To be fair, Scott wasn’t bad in that regard either, but that didn’t stop people from liking him.And that—that was what annoyed her.Annabelle chuckled.“Your Scott is excellent—of course people are going to like him. You can’t control that. Just make sure he only likes you. That’s what matters.”Julissa nodded silently. “Makes sense.”Funny thing was, that was exactly the kind of thing she used to say to Anna.She never thought that once it happened to her, she’d be the one overthinking everything.“Alright, enough of that—come look at the local goodies I brought you.”And just like that,
