I wish it were you Chapter 53 Can't Bear to See Women Cry
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

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. She

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

I wish it were you Chapter 930 Youthful Ambition
What Gauge wanted to discuss with Kendrick was a strategic collaboration between their two companies.Since stepping into the family business, Gauge had discovered a series of issues.Although Lin Jewelry appeared to be thriving, its narrow focus on a single line of business had left it vulnerable to serious challenges.Therefore, Gauge was planning to expand the jewelry and watch business within the next five years into leather goods, fashion products, and the perfume industry.He also proposed merging the group's original real estate construction division with a subsidiary of Gregory's Group. Murphy's Group would retain only a small share—essentially, a disguised sale to Gregory's.But the reason they couldn’t call it a sale outright was because Murphy's Group had started out in the construction industry. Gauge’s father, Simon, still held an emotional attachment to that legacy and couldn’t let go entirely.After the merger of the construction branches, Gauge hoped to acquire Gregory
I wish it were you Chapter 929 The Old Fox Is Hiding Something
At first, Annabelle didn’t understand what he was up to. It wasn’t until they were back inside the house that she realized—Kendrick thought she looked a little too sexy wearing his oversized T-shirt, especially since it made it seem like she wasn’t wearing anything on the bottom. It sparked a lot of imaginative thoughts.Annabelle was both amused and exasperated. She lifted the hem of the T-shirt to show him: “I am wearing shorts! They’re just... a little short. But still totally decent!”But Mr. Gregory was persistent. In the end, Annabelle gave in and changed into her own clothes.Once they were both dressed, they returned to the courtyard.Annabelle noticed Gauge hadn’t touched the watermelon and asked why—after all, it was set aside just for him.Gauge pulled a ten-hole blues harmonica from his pocket and said, “If I eat now, I won’t be able to play.”She knew harmonica players had to keep their mouth clean before playing.Then, Gauge handed her his guitar. “Since we’re just hang
I wish it were you Chapter 928 The Sweetest Part Is in the Middle
While Kendrick was cutting the watermelon, Annabelle couldn’t take her eyes off him.How strange—why did everything this man did seem so charming to her? Even slicing a watermelon looked handsome.It was as if her brain had automatically applied a beauty filter to him.Annabelle placed a hand over her chest, trying to calm her racing heart. But the more she tried, the faster it beat. The sweet words he had just whispered, every little expression and gesture of his, were now playing back in her mind like a movie…Kendrick held out the watermelon to her with a grin. “Little fangirl, stop staring. This handsome guy is your husband—100% confirmed.”Annabelle glared at him with a flushed face. “Narcissist!”Then she lowered her head, scooping out a bite of watermelon, determined to focus on eating.Just as she was about to take a bite, she noticed Kendrick had sat down.The other half of the watermelon was still sitting on the small stone platform by the well.“Aren’t you going to eat?”“Y
I wish it were you Chapter 927 Still Say You Don't Love Me?
Annabelle smiled softly, her eyes twinkling with a mix of amusement and affection. "Why do you always have to compare everything?" she asked, her voice gentle and teasing."I just want to know," he replied, his voice low and earnest. He reached out and tucked a strand of Anna's hair behind her ear, his touch light but intimate. "What it feels like for you to be with me."Annabelle fell into deep thought, her gaze drifting away as she considered his question. The room was quiet, filled only with the soft sounds of their breathing and the occasional rustle of the sheets beneath them. After a while, she still hadn't answered. Kendrick sighed, a hint of frustration in his voice. "Is it really that hard to answer?""Hmm... it’s hard to describe," Annabelle murmured thoughtfully, her fingers playing with the edge of the blanket. "Before, when I was with you, just seeing you would throw my heart into chaos. My pulse would race, and I could hardly catch my breath. But now…” She trailed off, h
I wish it were you Chapter 926 Soft Soft
Annabelle hadn’t slept so soundly in a long time.When she lazily opened her eyes and looked out the window, she realized it was already dark.Ever since arriving at her grandma’s house and staying in this quiet little fishing village—far away from her usual life—it felt like she had escaped to another world. Her entire being relaxed, with nothing left to worry about.Kendrick didn’t have to stress over the corporation anymore either.Their biggest daily dilemma had become: what should we eat for the next meal?If only life could always be this carefree...Annabelle slowly sat up. After sleeping for so long, her whole body felt soft and mushy. She got out of bed and wandered into the courtyard, where she saw Kendrick sitting at the small table, smoking.When he heard her, he turned around.“Awake?”Kendrick stubbed out his cigarette and patted his thigh.Annabelle walked over without hesitation or shyness and naturally sat on his lap, arms around his neck, resting softly against his s
I wish it were you Chapter 925 Uncle
Kendrick’s face darkened. “It’s better to date someone older. Look at Mr. Murphy—he’s too young, can’t even cook. How’s he supposed to take care of a girlfriend?”Annabelle raised her eyebrows and gave the sly old fox a glance. Flicking the water off her hands, she smiled and said, “But younger guys are energetic—and no generation gap!”Kendrick let out a sharp “hmph.” “You think there’s a generation gap between us?”“I didn’t say us,” Annabelle teased, eyes twinkling. “Why are you jumping to conclusions? Having a midlife crisis already, Uncle?”The little bunny was obviously up to no good with that mischievous grin.Kendrick glanced at the loquat tree in the courtyard, then squinted at the sunlight filtering through its leaves, trying hard to stay calm.After all, he was turning 31 after the New Year. Couldn’t let a little girl get under his skin, right?But midlife crisis? Really?He was in his prime. A young man!So this young Mr. Gregory looked into the reflection on the glass. He
I wish it were you Chapter 924 I’m Your Future Wife
So Annabelle thought to herself—was Mr. Gregory being a little too proactive?Kendrick asked lightly, “So, do you want to go swimming with him alone?”He deliberately emphasized the word “alone,” as if suggesting she had ulterior motives. Annabelle could only respond, “...I never said that!”“Then that’s that,” Kendrick said calmly, taking her hand and leading her into the house.After a short rest, the three of them began preparing lunch.Gauge was every bit the privileged young master—clearly someone who’d never cooked at home before. He practically didn’t know how to do anything.He was too rough when washing vegetables, to the point of mangling the leaves.Then they had him try chopping vegetables—but the young master, with his obsessive need for precision, insisted on cutting everything perfectly uniform, each slice as neat as the next. At the rate he was going, they’d probably be eating tomorrow’s lunch.Kendrick and Annabelle didn’t even bother expecting him to cook anything. T
I wish it were you Chapter 923 Even the Young Master Needs to Make His Presence Known
Afterward, the three of them returned to Grandma’s house first.Gauge waited in the courtyard while Annabelle and Kendrick brought the things they bought at the market into the house. After grabbing the ingredients they needed for lunch, the three of them headed to Gauge’s place together.When they arrived in front of the white guesthouse, Kendrick couldn’t help but chuckle.That morning, he and Anna had passed by this very spot. He had been wondering at the time—the place had a fresh, elegant architectural style. But there was no signboard, so maybe it wasn’t a guesthouse after all. If it was just a private residence, then it probably belonged to someone with means.Sure enough, his guess wasn’t far off. What he didn’t expect was that this would turn out to be Gauge’s home.After stepping through the front gate, Annabelle couldn’t help but marvel.To build such a charming little courtyard on this sloped hill must’ve taken a lot of thought and care.“Come in, rest a bit. Have some wat
I wish it were you Chapter 922 Just Like Last Night
As Kendrick was lost in thought, Annabelle called out to him, “Let me help you carry a couple of those.”Just moments ago, Kendrick had taken all the shopping bags from her hands—he was carrying everything by himself now.Seeing his forehead glistening with sweat, Annabelle, who now had empty hands, felt both guilty and worried.Kendrick looked back at her, smiled, and said, “I could carry you on my back too, no problem.”“Stop messing around, give me two bags.”Seeing how serious she looked, eyebrows furrowed and all, he finally gave in and handed her two of the lightest ones.But as soon as she took them, Gauge casually took them from her without saying a word.Annabelle: “…”She felt like she’d just become the middleman in a hand-off.Kendrick glanced at Gauge. “Thanks, Mr. Murphy.”His tone and look were both laced with provocation.Even Annabelle thought he was kinda asking for a punch right then.Gauge snorted coldly, “Don’t thank me. It’s not like I’m helping you.”“Tsk, brat…”
