At this moment, Kendrick had already served breakfast and there was a plate in front of each person.

Annabelle glanced at her breakfast plate and it seemed that there was more than just one fried egg.

It was an avocado sandwich, a fried egg, a few blueberries, half an orange, and a glass of soy milk on the side.

Although she was a doctor, she should have known how to take care of her health. However, in reality, her meals were very simple and plain, sometimes even perfunctory.

Looking at the breakfast on the table, Annabelle suddenly felt hungry.

But it couldn't be eaten now.

Eating someone's breakfast, they could no longer confidently negotiate.

Therefore, Annabelle did not move.

Kendrick was also puzzled.

He was busy with numerous tasks, handsome and charming as he was. He cancelled the morning video conference and personally cooked breakfast, wearing a white T-shirt that showcased his figure and made people feel at ease. Why was she so indifferent?

"Not to one's taste?"

"No," Annab

    Annabelle was not an insensitive person who didn't know how to measure her words. The sentence she just said hurt Kendrick, and she could feel it too.After a moment of contemplation, she said to Kendrick, "You are different to me, of course, from that dirty old man. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to get engaged and married to you. I just don't want our relationship to become complicated."Received love, then abandoned.Liked and disliked.She had already experienced this feeling deeply and did not want to go through it again.Kendrick pondered over Annabelle's words.She didn't want things to get complicated, that is to say, she felt that their relationship had become something more than ordinary.So, she came early in the morning with two dark circles under her eyes to set boundaries with him."Did you not sleep well last night because I kissed you yesterday?"When Kendrick asked this question, his eyes were fixed on her face, not wanting to miss any subtle expression from her.H

    The car window rolled down, and Annabelle caught sight of Marvin's handsome face, full of wildness and arrogance."Anna, get in the car, I'll give you a ride."He spoke very naturally, as if the two of them were very familiar.Since Annabelle already knew his feelings for her, she naturally wouldn't get in his car. Anyway, she could always hail a taxi in ten minutes."No need."After finishing speaking, Annabelle moved the flowerpot towards the back of her car and continued to hail a taxi.Marvin got off the car directly.He came to Annabelle's side, smiled at her stubborn face, and without saying a word, he picked up the flower pot she had placed on the ground and walked straight to the car."Hey, Marvin!"However, Marvin, who was tall and had long legs, had already placed the flowers on the car in just two steps."I didn't need you to give me a ride."As she spoke, she was about to take the flower down, but Marvin stood in front of the car door."Anna, you don't have to hide from me

    Annabelle furrowed her brows, she and Kendrick didn't have anything going on, how did Marvin find out?"I had a good relationship with Kendrick."After finishing speaking, Annabelle turned her head to look outside the window. Regardless of how he knew, she wanted to discuss this topic again.Marvin also noticed that Annabelle didn't want to talk, so he patiently remained quiet, although his mood had already changed from before.Actually, he was just pretending earlier, but of course he had some basis for pretending.He accidentally overheard Trey and Kendrick talking on the phone, asking Kendrick to take the initiative in that aspect.He had doubts at that time, but he was not sure yet. Seeing Annabelle's unnatural expression at that moment, his suspicions were confirmed, and he couldn't help but feel delighted. Silently in his heart, he vowed to make sure Anna would return to his side.Finally, he brought Annabelle home and helped her carry the flowers back to the garden. As if casua

    Marvin firmly passed the clothes through the crack in the door."I bought this dress for you, although it's not exactly the same as yours, but it's also a limited edition new design by Master Fey. If you don't want it, you can tear it up and throw it away."Annabelle refused to take it, so he forcefully shoved it into her hand."Anna, I will come back tomorrow to teach you how to drive.""...No need, even if you came, I wouldn't learn from you."Marvin, however, smirked and a hint of mischief flashed across his handsome face, "See you tomorrow!"Watching the blue sports car roaring away, Annabelle was filled with frustration and speechless.How could there be such arrogant and self-opinionated people?Annabelle shook her head and walked back into the villa, carrying her clothes. She casually placed the million-dollar outfit at the entrance and proceeded to tidy up her plants and flowers.Annabelle spent the rest of the afternoon in flower arranging, which was quite enjoyable.As for G

    Annabelle suddenly widened her eyes, and at that moment, she had one thought - she hadn't brushed her teeth! And neither had she...Fortunately, Kendrick didn't French kiss, he only kissed her lips and left after a moment.Kendrick seemed to have noticed her thoughts and chuckled as he playfully tapped her nose, "We've already shared a bed, so why are you still acting so distant?"The two words "slept with" were deliberately emphasized by him, which frightened Annabelle and made her face turn pale. She abruptly pushed Kendrick away.In fact, she just slept deeply last night. If Kendrick really did that to her, she couldn't have not woken up. But she couldn't help but confirm again that her thin strap nightgown was intact and her body didn't feel any discomfort."By the way, what is that piece of clothing placed in the entrance hall?" Kendrick asked.Annabelle just remembered about Gemma and Marvin."What Marvin brought.""Did he find you again?" Kendrick frowned unhappily, feeling a s

    At ten o'clock that night, Coastline Avenue.This was a popular racing spot, and as soon as night fell, racing enthusiasts gathered here.Annabelle sat in a discreet black Mercedes sedan by the roadside, looking towards the starting point of the racetrack.The car engine roared, deafeningly loud, as the obnoxious high-pitched music stimulated her eardrums. There were also those excessively excited men and women, some screaming loudly, while others engaged in passionate and explicit kissing.The darkness covered those hidden actions and transactions, and also magnified their desires infinitely.Annabelle raised the car window, shutting out the outside noise, and rubbed her temples with a headache.She didn't want to come, but this confrontation ultimately started because of her.And the racing activity, filled with danger, made it impossible for Annabelle to peacefully read at home.After much hesitation, she dialed her brother Raphael's phone number.She didn't know exactly where Kend

    Annabelle hesitated for a moment, then opened the car door.Since we have already come, we might as well go and take a closer look. Otherwise, staying in the car doesn't feel secure.She wore a mask and a baseball cap, following Raphael through the bustling crowd, and arrived at the front position. Separated by a soft barrier, she looked towards the middle of the racetrack."Kendrick's car didn't look very good, is it still working?"Annabelle didn't understand cars, she just judged by their appearance. She thought that the GTR looked far less impressive compared to Marvin's Bugatti Veyron.Raphael laughed and said, "My brother-in-law's car is modified. You can't just judge by its appearance. If you open the hood and take a look, it might cost more than a Bugatti Veyron for a complete set."After hearing Raphael's words, Annabelle felt a little relieved. It seems that Kendrick didn't act recklessly, but rather had some skills."Would that be dangerous?"Raphael tugged at the corner of

    Under the envious and jealous gaze of women, Annabelle was tightly held by Kendrick's hand as they walked all the way to the car.After Marvin saw Annabelle coming over, he was momentarily dazed. Having her present to watch only made Marvin's blood boil even more, and he couldn't help but want to immediately compete and win her back home.But when he heard Kendrick say that he would be carrying Annabelle for the race, he frowned and said, "Have you thought about it? Carrying one more person means giving me more than just a 20-meter disadvantage."Kendrick chuckled, "Just wanted to make you run 20 meters."Marvin gritted his teeth and silently got into the car. He lightly pressed on the gas pedal, and the roaring engine sounded like his anger and defiance.Annabelle also got into Kendrick's car and Kendrick helped her fasten her seatbelt.The race officially began, and two top-level racing cars flew out of the starting line.As Kendrick said, his car was stable, but only in the initial

    Annabelle walked into the bedroom, first passing through a short hallway adorned with expensive paintings.Before meeting Marvin in person, I smelled a strong scent of alcohol, which was completely different from the fresh mountain air outside.Stepping on the soft light brown carpet, Annabelle saw Marvin half leaning on the edge of the bed, sitting on the floor.He faced the floor-to-ceiling window, with his back to Annabelle, holding a half-empty bottle of canned beer in his hand. There were also more empty beer cans beside him. His gray shirt was wrinkled, and his once fresh hair was messy and greasy."Go out!"He emitted a hoarse growl.Annabelle paused for a moment and then continued walking forward."I said for you to go out!"Marvin angrily turned around and picked up an empty beer can next to him, ready to throw it towards Annabelle.But when he saw that the person coming was Annabelle, his actions seemed to free

    Lydia went upstairs and looked into Kendrick's room.At that time, the room was open, indicating that Annabelle was obviously not inside.In other words, they did sleep in separate rooms, the couple indeed!The matter of dividing the rooms was something she heard Marvin casually mention after he got drunk in the past. Today, she came personally to see what exactly was going on.At that moment, she confirmed this by helping her son, and her heart was filled with joy.Presumably, the marriage between the two was merely a formality, and Kendrick's constant rivalry with Marvin was not because he genuinely liked Annabelle, but simply because he wanted to undermine Marvin.In that case, as a mother, she had to do something to help her son win back his wife.In fact, since Annabelle had already become Kendrick's wife, Lydia no longer lamented for this girl and did not support Marvin in pursuing her.Did my younger brother marry his si

    Annabelle's mouth twitched as she decided to take a private plane in order to save on airfare.Mr. Gregory, who was unaware of the hardships of the world, pondered for a while, just wondering about this.Is it about being willful when you have money, or are people foolish when they have a lot of money?"Mr. Gregory, did you forget to calculate the fuel cost?"Kendrick leaned in slightly, getting closer to her ear, and chuckled softly, "Just hoping that you could occasionally take advantage of me, your wealthy husband."You should know that his private plane alone cost tens of millions of dollars annually just for maintenance.And his wife, still lamented over not being able to buy cheap plane tickets, which greatly frustrated Kendrick.Annabelle stared at the man in front of her, and the ambiguous "husband" made her feel a little dazed.They seemed like a real couple."Thank you for your kindness, but no need," Annabelle

    Annabelle became puzzled and carefully checked the pulse twice more, but the results remained the same as before.The pulse has clearly improved, why did I still have a headache at night?Could it be that she made a wrong judgment?"Do you have any other symptoms?""It was pretty much the same as before."Mr. Gregory looked serious and could tell lies without changing his expression or heartbeat."Aren't you deceiving me?" Annabelle raised an eyebrow.Kendrick laughed, "Trick you, what's in it for me?"Well, if he lied about being sick, it would mean that he still had to undergo acupuncture, continue taking medication, and the two of them couldn't get divorced quickly either.Annabelle thought, Kendrick really didn't need to tell this lie... right?"Maybe you have been working too hard recently. I will adjust the herbal prescription for you and you should pay more attention to rest."When she said these wor

    Trey noticed that Kendrick had returned and sensed that something was off between the young master and Mrs. Gregory. So, after a brief greeting, he smartly left.There were only Annabelle and Kendrick left in the room.Annabelle returned to the kitchen, with her eyes lowered, and continued to ladle the soup out of the pot, as if she hadn't heard Kendrick's question just now.Kendrick came to her side, grabbed Annabelle's hand as she was pouring soup, gently turned her body, and lifted her chin.Now Annabelle had to look into his eyes."Who have you cooked soup for?"With a mixture of jest and seriousness in his tone, he unexpectedly made Annabelle feel a sense of inexplicable guilt.She had indeed cooked soup for another person in the past, but let's not dwell on that for now. As of the present, she and Kendrick are not truly married, so why does he need to interrogate her like this?"No one."Annabelle avo

    Secret.Kendrick glanced at the woman in front of him, savoring those two words."Drink it while it's hot and rest early."After Annabelle finished speaking, she hurriedly left the study.Her affectionate and absent-minded look, all fell into Kendrick's eyes. He picked up the bowl of soup and took a sip, somehow suddenly feeling that there was a hint of sourness in the soup today.Two days later in the evening, the doorbell rang twice.Kendrick had not returned yet when Annabelle heard the doorbell ring, so she went to open the door and saw Trey carrying a white foam box."When the old man went fishing at the sea, he personally caught some, and he also bought some fresh ones early in the morning from the fishermen. I will bring you some."After Annabelle understood, she quickly went to pick up the box, while Trey hurriedly hid."Mrs. Gregory, don't touch it anymore. It's quite heavy. I'll put it in the fridge for you, so you can cook and eat it as soon as possible.""Okay."Annabelle

    Kendrick let the little woman pound his chest. It didn't hurt anyway, it felt more like scratching an itch, and each hit landed right on his heart.When Annabelle had finished venting, and was about to withdraw her hand, Kendrick grabbed her fist."Little White, for you, I gave up my life, and yet you still hit me."Annabelle frowned and glared at him, "What do you mean, you clearly put my life at stake too!""Okay, okay, calm down," Kendrick lowered his head and kissed her fist, then rubbed her head. "Good girl, I didn't want you to lose."Annabelle was dumbfounded on the spot as she listened to his teasing.At the engagement banquet, she must have had a wrong idea and couldn't think straight, why did she provoke this person!Annabelle didn't want to deal with the man beside her anymore. She pulled her hand away and wanted to get off the car to get some fresh air. However, when she glanced at the bustling crowd outside, she felt that it was too noisy and immediately felt annoyed.
