I wish it were you Chapter 478 Who Slept with Whom?
Scott’s face stiffened, and he didn’t say another word, handing her the phone.Julissa sat up, swallowed nervously, cleared her throat, and tried to sound as if she wasn’t still groggy. “Mom…” But the tremble in her voice betrayed her nervousness.Her mother then began the soul-searching interrogation: Who is he? Where are you? What did you do last night?Julissa answered truthfully: He’s a friend. I’m at a hotel. Nothing happened last night!As she said this, she pulled back the blanket to double-check, only to find herself in the nude, her body sore. She realized that maybe “nothing” wasn’t entirely true.Rubbing her temples, she glanced over at Scott, who was sitting by the window, smoking. He glanced back at her with an enigmatic smile, and Julissa’s mind went blank.What exactly had happened last night? Did she sleep with him, or did he sleep with her? She could only remember drunkenly touching someone’s chest… Could it be that she had actually slept with Scott?That would be so

After that, Julissa’s father took the call. Julissa, afraid of her dad, sniffled a couple of times, then called out quietly, "Dad."Although she was heartbroken over her breakup, which was understandable, her father would certainly not overlook the fact that she stayed at a hotel with another man.What surprised Julissa was that her father didn’t lash out and tell her to come home and face the consequences. Instead, he said, "Your mother and I won’t force you to reconcile with Liam anymore. We’ll give you space and let you make your own decisions."Her father’s sudden warmth and understanding made Julissa feel truly heartbroken. She had been resentful toward her parents, but now, she didn't feel that way anymore."Dad, I don’t want to dwell on the past. I’m looking forward.""Good. Now, tell me who the young man was who was with you last night. If he’s your serious boyfriend, bring him home to meet us."Uh, how did the topic circle back to this? Julissa quickly explained that nothing

"Ah, sorry."Apologizing, Julissa quickly rushed out of the wardrobe, slapping her face to calm herself. She felt so hot and flustered, regretting her careless behavior.She couldn’t keep staring at a guy with such a good physique, could she?Considering her relationship with Scott, she should keep her distance and maintain boundaries.Thinking back, when she was drunk last night, she had probably mistaken Scott for the escort and even touched his abs. He must think she’s a total fangirl now…She sighed and covered her face, regretting drinking so much. From now on, no more alcohol.After Scott finished changing, he walked out of the wardrobe with a dark aura, ready to leave the suite.Julissa hurriedly stopped him. "Wait, Mr. Nichols, there’s something I need to confirm."Scott paused, turned to look at her. What did she need to confirm? A trace of expectation flashed through his heart.To his surprise, Julissa asked, "When do I need to check out? Can I sleep a little longer?"She st

After lunch, the two didn't return to the hotel but headed straight to the airport. The original plan was to take Kendrick's private plane back to Elfhedge. However, there were some last-minute issues with the flight approval, and the plane couldn’t take off. Jaime scrambled to coordinate alternative flights, but, unfortunately, there were no available seats.The only option left to return that day was by train.At this moment, Elio called Annabelle, asking if she had left Shadelake. Annabelle explained the situation to him, and Elio immediately said, "That's perfect, I'm heading to Elfhedge too. I've just arrived at the airport, and you can take my plane back."Annabelle was delighted and Mr. Duncan Elio to wait a moment while she asked Kendrick's opinion.When Kendrick heard her mention Elio, he looked at her in confusion. "What’s going on?"Annabelle covered the microphone and whispered, "It’s Elio. He's also flying to Elfhedge and said we could join him on his plane."Kendrick nar

Looking at the man beside her, Kendrick met her gaze. He had a slight smile, but his eyes were filled with warning.Annabelle couldn’t understand. Was there something wrong with wishing Elio success in his confession? Or was it because she had taken his pulse that Kendrick was feeling jealous?Sighing inwardly, Annabelle felt helpless living with the "lemon king" himself.After a while, Annabelle unbuckled her seatbelt and went to the restroom. This gave Elio the chance to speak with Kendrick."About the project I mentioned earlier, Mr. Gregory, have you given it any thought?""I’m not interested," Kendrick replied coldly.Elio raised an eyebrow. "Oh? But it’s a ten-billion-dollar project. It’s just the solution you need right now."Kendrick gave a faint smile, then coldly added, "I’m a businessman, and I like making money, but not by selling my woman."Elio had proposed using a ten-billion-dollar Shadelake real estate project in exchange for Annabelle’s freedom. If Kendrick and Annab

Rewind to when Annabelle was 14 years old. Elio, then just 20, appeared to her as nothing more than a frail little beggar.The beggar’s injuries had healed, and he was set to leave Springvale Temple the next day. On the night before his departure, he asked Annabelle to draw something on the scar on his chest.While she was drawing, the beggar asked, "If I become successful in the future and can grant you one wish, what would you want?"It was summer at the time, and the house often leaked when it rained. There were also bugs everywhere. Annabelle replied, “I just want a clean and comfortable house.”The beggar smiled and said, "If I were to give you a house, what kind would you want?"Annabelle thought it was just the fantasy of two poor people imagining a better future, saying things that were unrealistic. Since it was a fantasy, she didn’t give it much thought and dreamed, "I’d want a house where I can open the window and see mountains in the distance and water close by, with a litt

Hearing Elio refer to him as "your husband" made Annabelle realize that maybe he no longer had any attachments to her.She looked at the document in her hand. "What is this?""He’ll know when he sees it," Elio said.Annabelle didn’t understand their business dealings, so she didn’t ask any more questions. She thought it was just a message for her to deliver and carefully stored the contract.The two of them walked around the garden. When they were about to leave, Elio handed her a small leather pouch, about the size of his palm.Inside were the keys and access card for the garden."I originally planned for this to be our new home, but since you’re already married, consider it a wedding gift for you."He had always harbored affection for Annabelle and was deeply grateful to her. So he wouldn’t force her but would only wish her happiness. If she ever needed anything, he would always stand by her.But the gift was too grand, too valuable, and Annabelle refused to accept it.Finally, Elio

"What?" Annabelle didn’t understand what he meant.Kendrick gazed at her for a moment, then glanced at the documents on the table and asked, "How did you get the contract?""...He just gave it to me!""He didn’t set any conditions for you?"Annabelle shook her head. There were no conditions, and he even gave her a mansion. However, she could tell Kendrick wasn’t in the best mood, so she decided not to mention the mansion, worried he might overthink things."Is this contract really that valuable?"Seeing she genuinely didn’t understand, Kendrick smiled. "It’s okay, it’s worth about a billion.""..." Annabelle was thinking about how many zeros followed that one.Her math wasn’t great, and she had just woken up, so her mind was a little foggy. Forget the billion for now; she asked Kendrick, "Isn’t this the deal you two had already agreed on? Does it have anything to do with me?"Kendrick, never one to hide the truth from her, answered straightforwardly. "He wants to use the billion-dolla

Julissa blinked in confusion, her face full of bewilderment."Job entry? What job?"Linda was also momentarily stunned before she smiled and said, "Miss Hickman, aren’t you the new assistant? Didn’t you attend a banquet with Mr. Nichols last time?"It turned out there had been a misunderstanding.Julissa quickly waved her hand and laughed, "Actually, I—"Before she could finish, Scott spoke up, "Linda, you can step out. I need to have a word with Miss Hickman."Linda put down the form, turned, and left the office, closing the door behind her.Now, only Scott and Julissa were left in the room. Scott stood tall, backlit, with an air of authority surrounding him that made Julissa feel small all of a sudden.The key question was: What does he want to talk about?After the office door was closed, Julissa said, "It seems there’s been a misunderstanding. Everyone really thought I was your assistant."Scott remained composed, nodding slightly. "Well, my assistant Linda is getting married and
I wish it were you Chapter 499 What Is This Strong Sense of Job Entry?
Jax reported to Kendrick about his chance encounter with Seraphina at the market and also mentioned that Annabelle had lost her keys, asking if the lock on the gate should be changed.Kendrick was silent for a moment and then said, "Don't change the lock. Just keep an eye on the villa's security. If anyone breaks in, don’t take immediate action. Wait to see what they intend to do.""Yes, boss."Kendrick understood Annabelle well; she wasn’t someone who would be careless with her belongings, so losing her keys seemed unlikely. The fact that she had bumped into Seraphina made Kendrick suspect that the lost keys and Seraphina might be connected, though he wasn’t sure yet about her intentions.That day, Annabelle spent the whole day in her study, preparing a gift for Kendrick. By the time he came home, she was already asleep.For the next two days, they were each busy during the day, and at night they slept separately without anything unusual happening. This made Kendrick wonder, *Could i

Fortunately, Jax had dark skin, so his blush was not noticeable. He muttered, "I don't have a girlfriend."Annabelle nodded. Jax was no longer a young man, and being by Kendrick’s side meant he probably didn’t have time for dating. His lifelong affairs had likely been delayed. She thought to herself that she needed to mention this to Kendrick—when attending social events, Jax should be given more opportunities to participate.Keeping him hidden away all the time, how could he meet any girls? Although life isn’t all about love and marriage, wouldn’t it be regrettable to grow old without ever experiencing those things?With this in mind, Annabelle asked Jax, "What kind of girl do you like?"Jax cleared his throat. "Madam, is there anything else you need to buy?"Annabelle was about to tell him not to change the subject when she suddenly heard someone calling her name."Anna!"Turning around, she saw a tall girl in a misty blue trench coat walking towards her.Wasn’t this the girl who wa
I wish it were you Chapter 497 She Teased Him
Suddenly recalling the events of the previous night, Annabelle's face flushed, and she quickly pulled her hand out of his palm. “You eat, I’ll go change.” Watching the little rabbit run away with a red face, Kendrick couldn’t help but smile helplessly. She was still so easily flustered. About ten minutes later, both of them were ready and headed for the hospital. Outside the car window, the cold wind blew, but inside the car, it was warm. Classical guitar music played softly, light and gentle. The man beside her drove quietly, accompanying her to the hospital for her check-up. On her lap was a thermos box with the breakfast Kendrick had prepared for her. She could eat once the check-up was over. When they had just gotten married, she had thought he was arrogant and cunning, but now, she realized he was such a considerate and gentle man. Annabelle couldn’t help but smile. At a traffic light, Kendrick stopped the car and glanced at the small woman beside him. He noticed
I wish it were you Chapter 496 Can’t Find Her Soul
Julian looked at his older brother as if he were a dinosaur, smiling. "Aren’t you always so disdainful of me, bro?""Less talk, go get it.""Alright, alright!"Julian went back to his room, and soon returned with one of his photos, signed by him.Scott glanced at the photo, his face dark. "Your handwriting is terrible.""…As long as I’m handsome, it’s fine!" Julian retorted.Scott sneered, clearly mocking him.Julian felt like snatching the photo back, but didn’t dare challenge his older brother.Scott went back to his room, looked at the signed photo, and casually tossed it on his desk before dialing Julissa’s number."Mr. Nichols? It’s late, is there something you need?""Your signed photo, you can come pick it up tomorrow."Julissa paused for a moment, then realized what Scott meant. She felt grateful yet a little embarrassed. "You still remember! Thank you so much."She had almost forgotten about it herself and didn’t want to get too entangled with Scott after the awkward incident

For some reason, when Julissa said this, her heart suddenly felt empty, as though she had lost something important.Zane, however, was pleased. He smiled and said, "Everything will be done the way you like."Julissa smiled back. "Okay.""By the way, here, this is for you." Zane opened the passenger side door, took an A4 sheet from the glove compartment, and handed it to Julissa."What’s this?" Julissa looked at the form, confused."This is my work schedule. From now on, you can check it to see when I'm free. As long as I'm not working, I can be with you."Julissa took the form, thinking that this person was quite straightforward and interesting. "Alright, then next time, when you're off, let’s go watch a movie.""Sure."Despite it feeling like a routine, and despite the fact that their relationship had almost nothing to do with love, wasn’t love supposed to fade away eventually?She had once poured all her enthusiasm into Liam, but now she was content with going through the motions, w
I wish it were you Chapter 494 Too Fast
Kendrick’s expression darkened, his anger quickly rising.How dare Ryan talk to her about something like this!And who was that Ryan to think that just because he said they couldn’t sleep together, they had to listen?Annabelle explained why they couldn’t sleep together, the consequences and all.After hearing it, Kendrick felt a bit of doubt creeping in. If sleeping together would really harm Annabelle’s body, then perhaps some restraint was necessary.But then he turned to Annabelle and said, "We’ll go for a checkup tomorrow. Traditional medicine is powerful, but let’s trust Western medicine this time."The main reason, of course, was that he didn’t trust Ryan.At this point, Annabelle had no choice. She couldn’t argue with him. Since Kendrick didn’t trust Young Master and wouldn’t believe him, going for a Western medical checkup was fine.Of course, she also wanted a full check-up.After all, she had been diagnosing herself, but hadn’t noticed anything unusual with her body. It was
I wish it were you Chapter 493 If You Don’t Comfort Me, You Can’t Leave
Kendrick wasn’t cooperating like he usually did. It seemed like he wanted Annabelle to experience that feeling of desperation—where no matter how hard she tried to comfort him, nothing worked.He pressed his lips tightly together, and Annabelle awkwardly kissed him, trying to mimic how he usually kissed her, attempting to use her tongue to pry open his lips.But it felt too embarrassing, so she only gave his lips a quick lick before turning away, blushing.She had already kissed him, yet he still wasn’t giving in. What else did he want?Frustrated, Annabelle got up, determined to ignore him.But as she tried to walk away, Kendrick stopped her, pulling her back and making her straddle him."Comforting your husband isn’t done like this," Kendrick said softly, his gaze fixed on her lips. "If you don’t comfort me properly, you’re not leaving.""You won’t cooperate," Annabelle said unhappily."Let Annabelle experience what it’s like to be rejected," he continued, his voice pausing with a s
I wish it were you Chapter 492 You’re Leaving Just Like That? Not Even Going to Comfort Me?
"Of course, I’m concerned," Annabelle muttered, feeling uneasy.Kendrick didn’t look right. Did he find out about her meeting with Young Master?No matter what, she couldn’t let on that she was guilty.She added, "By the way, Julissa and I went to the amusement park. I posted a picture of the two of us, and guess what? Several of my classmates want to meet Julissa."She quickly glanced at Kendrick’s expression to see how he was reacting.She wanted to show that she had been with Julissa tonight, with proof in the photos.Kendrick nodded. "I saw the photos.""Mm! Pretty good pictures, right?"After saying that, she realized how awkward the conversation was. Feeling guilty, she added, "I’m going to change. Don’t drink anymore."Just as she was about to turn around, she heard Kendrick speak quietly. "Was the view from the Ferris wheel good?""…"Annabelle froze, closed her eyes, and sighed. It seemed there was no need to cover it up anymore; he already knew.She turned back around, walke
