After the four of them exchanged pleasantries, Ariana smiled and said, "Trey just mentioned that Grandpa’s new swimming pool is ready for use. Since Kendrick and Sister-in-law are already here, we decided to come over. I hope we’re not disturbing you!""It’s fine," Kendrick responded with a faint smile, though his smile didn’t quite reach his eyes.Ariana’s smile stiffened slightly, but she quickly said, "Then we’ll go change. Kendrick, Sister-in-law, we’ll see you later!"Annabelle smiled back at her, hoping that with a fiancé now, Ariana would stop treating her as a rival.After they left, Kendrick turned to Annabelle, "If you don’t want to swim anymore, we can leave."Annabelle shook her head. "No, I haven’t swum much yet. Let’s stay a little longer."She had just changed into her swimsuit and hadn’t swum for long. It wouldn’t feel right to leave yet.Besides, Ariana showing up made her want to stay. She didn’t want to seem petty. Even though she was somewhat bothered by Ariana, th

Kendrick turned to Annabelle and asked, "Do you want to swim for a while longer, or come with me?"If it were just her here, it wouldn't be an issue. But since Ariana and Cael were also around, and Cael's gaze seemed a bit inappropriate, Kendrick wanted to take her with him.However, Annabelle had just warmed up and hadn’t had enough fun yet. She turned to Trey and asked, "Will Grandpa and Kendrick talk for long?"If it wasn’t going to take too long, she’d just wait for him here.Trey, who had already noticed that the young lady was enjoying herself, chuckled and replied, "It won’t take long. The young master can just put on a bathrobe and ask a few questions.""Then I’ll wait for you," Annabelle said to Kendrick, smiling brightly.Kendrick sighed. It was rare for her to be so excited, and he didn’t want to spoil her fun. Since she needed some exercise, the only thing he could do was indulge her."Alright, I’ll be back soon."Kendrick got out of the pool, put on a bathrobe, and follow

Ariana’s challenge was obvious. Annabelle glanced at her indifferently.“How do we compete?”Since the challenge was already thrown at her, backing down now would only make her look weak.Ariana smirked. “It’s simple. We’ll swim from one end of the pool to the other using the butterfly stroke. Whoever reaches the other side first wins. If I win, you have to leave Kendrick. How about it?”Annabelle frowned at Ariana. As expected, she still hadn’t let go of Kendrick—even though she was already engaged.“Even if I leave Kendrick, do you think he’ll be yours?” Annabelle confronted her directly.Ariana’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “If he won’t be mine, then he can’t be yours either.”A direct declaration of war.Annabelle smirked slightly. Good. At least now everything was out in the open—no more mind games, no more underhanded schemes.“What if I win?” she asked.“I’ll give up on Kendrick forever and never interfere with you two again.”“Oh? That’s all?” Annabelle nodded thoughtfully

There was another person observing the competition from a hidden spot—Marvin.Marvin had been there for a while, even earlier than Annabelle and Kendrick. After swimming for a bit and getting a little tired, he decided to rest in the semi-open lounge area by the pool.When Kendrick and Annabelle were playing in the water, Marvin had woken up but didn’t come out. As Annabelle and Ariana prepared for their race, he received a message from his good friend, urging him to watch the live stream.He watched the stream and quickly understood what was going on. When the race began and he saw Annabelle trailing slightly behind Ariana, Marvin walked out of the lounge, leaning casually against the wall, waiting quietly.He hoped Annabelle would lose.Although it seemed like a small game, Marvin knew that Annabelle was someone who kept her promises. If she lost, she would leave Kendrick.And that would give him more chances to win her back.Ariana was also thinking the same. With only a third of t

Just now, Ariana and Cael had also made a bet.Cael promised to help her mobilize the big influencers and create momentum for the live broadcast. If she won, Cael would dissolve their engagement. If she lost, she would allow Cael to kiss her.She knew that Cael didn't like her. She thought that his request to kiss her was just to tease and play tricks on her, and he didn't really want her.Ariana was originally fuming. Hearing what he said, she said angrily, "When have I ever gone back on my word?""Good." Cael directly hooked his arm around her waist, pressed her against the wall, and kissed her lips.Ariana tried to struggle, but Cael grabbed her wrist with great force.His other hand slid down along her waist and landed on her buttocks. He pinched her unceremoniously, almost in a humiliating way."Cael, that's enough! You really are taking advantage of me."He wasn't interested in Ariana. Kissing her wasn't about taking advantage of her. He simply wanted to see Ariana feel unhappy.

Annabelle immediately realized something was wrong because this wasn't the smell of Kendrick.She raised her head and saw Marvin's melancholy eyes. His chin was tense as he stared at her.Marvin didn't want to miss any of her expressions. He clearly saw that the moment Annabelle saw his face, there was a flash of disappointment in her eyes, and also a trace of panic.That trace of panic made Marvin feel excited.So, could he also stir up a little ripple in her heart?"It's you. Thank you... I'm sorry..."Annabelle quickly broke free from him, wrapped the bathrobe tightly around her, and stood barefoot in front of the tall and straight Marvin. She felt a bit embarrassed about what had just happened."Long time no see." He stood in front of Annabelle and looked down at her.Annabelle smiled and nodded, feeling that the air was filled with an awkward atmosphere."How have you been recently? Wilson said that you were ill.""I'm all right now," Annabelle didn't want to be alone with Marvin

Annabelle was heading toward the shower room when she almost bumped into someone in the hallway, her head down. She was about to apologize, but when she saw that it was Kendrick, she immediately sighed in relief."I was just about to shower," she said.Before she could finish, Kendrick grabbed her wrist, his expression filled with coldness."Looks like Anna’s gotten bold enough to use me as a bet?"Annabelle froze for a moment, feeling guilty as she scratched her head and gave a nervous smile. "Did you hear it from Trey?"That’s the only way he would know about her bet with Ariana, right?"I saw the live stream.""Live stream? What live stream?"She looked confused, and Kendrick narrowed his eyes. It seemed she didn’t know about the live stream. It must have been Cael who started it without her permission.Kendrick was furious, but he wanted to have a proper talk with her first. He took out his phone, opened the live stream video, and showed it to Annabelle.It was the video he had ju

The lounge here wasn’t just a semi-open room but a tatami tea room, quite elegant and serene. As soon as Annabelle saw the arrangement and decor of the room, she guessed that this must be Grandpa’s private tea room. She quickly said to Kendrick, “I’m still wet, I’ll get Grandpa’s tatami wet!”Kendrick raised the corner of his lips. “It’s fine, I’m dry now. You can sit on me.”Annabelle’s face flushed immediately.Without another word, Kendrick scooped her up and sat her down on the tatami, kissing her.His warm and large hand pressed gently on the back of her neck, making it impossible for her to move. She could also feel that he was already on edge, but he was holding back.It was probably because this was Grandpa's tea room, or perhaps because her health check results hadn’t come out yet, so they weren’t sure whether they could be together in that way.Even without going that far, Kendrick’s kiss was already overwhelming for Annabelle.Because he wasn’t just kissing her lips...Afte

I wish it were you Chapter 940 Desire Fades
Seraphina understood exactly what Dereon meant—he was suggesting she sleep with the Young Master.But would sleeping with him really make him love her more?Seraphina knew very well: the reason the Young Master still had some affection for her was precisely because she knew her place and respected boundaries.She didn’t want to do anything that might make him hate her.Looking out the cabin window, Seraphina said calmly, “If the Young Master wanted me, of course I’d be willing… but I’m not going to take the initiative to do something so unnecessary.”“How is it unnecessary?!”Dereon slapped his thigh in frustration. Blood was still trickling down his forehead, running past his brow and onto his nose, making him look a little frightening. But his expression was that of a sleazy pimp, and Seraphina found it laughable.“You don’t have to convince me,” she said. “I have my own thoughts on this.”“Seraphina, you don’t understand men,” Dereon lowered his voice. “If you can hold on to the Yo

Ryan said, “That wasn’t the best opportunity just now.”“Why not?”Ryan rubbed his temples in exhaustion. “Can you use your brain before asking questions?”Seraphina quickly jumped in, “Dereon, didn’t you see that Gauge was also there?”“So what if Gauge was there?” Dereon retorted. “That kid clearly can’t fight.”Seraphina patiently explained.First, the Young Master didn’t hide his movements on this trip to South City. Running into Kendrick here was purely by chance.They weren’t prepared. Acting rashly could have led to failure.Even if they succeeded, since their movements weren’t concealed, it would be easy for the Gregory family to trace the incident back to them. And that old man from the Gregory family is no pushover.Second, Gauge was present. He’s friends with both Kendrick and Annabelle. There’s no way he’d stand by and do nothing.If Gauge got dragged into the mess, the Young Master would be making an enemy out of the Murphy family for no reason.The the Whitney Group is j
I wish it were you Chapter 938 You Must Leave
A private jet bound for Elfhedge took off smoothly from the South City airport.Inside the cabin, Annabelle was lying in a luxurious bedroom.Ryan stepped out of the room and said to Seraphina, who was standing outside the door, “She was poisoned by a type of floral toxin. It causes hallucinations and unconsciousness. She's fine now. Go get a clean set of clothes for her. I’ll help her change.”“It’s already prepared,” Seraphina’s gaze flickered slightly. She tightened her grip on the clothes in her hand and lowered her head. “Young Master, let me do it. This dress is a bit tricky to put on…”Ryan glanced at the dress in her hands, then looked deeply into her eyes. After a moment, he let out a bitter laugh. “Alright… if Anna knew I changed her clothes, she’d probably hate me even more.”Seraphina said nothing. Once Ryan stepped aside, she walked in with her head lowered.She carefully helped Annabelle out of her soiled clothes and put on the dress she had brought with her for the trip

Anna shook her head and smiled. “Nothing really. Let me do the cleaning—you’re definitely not as meticulous as I am. You go wait outside.”“No need…”“Go on, I’ll take care of it.”Annabelle was firm and took the duster from Gauge’s hand.But Gauge didn’t leave. How could he let a girl do the work while he waited outside enjoying the breeze?So the two of them cleaned together.While cleaning the room, Annabelle felt oddly emotional. Her mind was flooded with thoughts.Who was the woman who had once lived here? What kind of story did she have? What kind of mood had she been in when she left the village to live in solitude by the sea?As she wiped the mirror on the vanity, she could almost picture a woman sitting there, grooming herself in days long past.She must have been someone melancholic, yet strong-willed.A sudden wave of sadness welled up from deep within Annabelle’s heart.She couldn’t help but laugh at herself. Am I too empathetic? Why else would she feel so much for a compl
I wish it were you Chapter 936 Who Is She?
“Let’s go,” Gauge called out to her.Annabelle snapped out of her thoughts and walked toward the small wooden cabin.Gauge pointed to a patch of land behind the cabin and said that it used to be a small garden. There had once been a large tree with a wide canopy, and his father had installed a swing on one of its sturdy horizontal branches.Back then, his father often sat alone inside the cabin, sipping a couple of drinks.Meanwhile, Gauge would sit outside on the swing, watching the sea and listening to music.Looking at the now overgrown garden, Gauge showed a hint of melancholy.“Unfortunately, the big tree was cut down later, and since no one took care of the garden, it fell into disrepair. When my dad came here last year, he said he regretted not being able to maintain it.”Annabelle listened quietly. It seemed Murphy's father had deeply cared about whoever used to live here.Gauge had said before that he wasn’t sure if the person was a man or a woman—he just guessed it was a wom
I wish it were you Chapter 935 The Big Boss Is Sick
Annabelle transformed visibly from a sweet little bunny into a puffed-up pufferfish, cheeks bulging with frustration.She got up to leave, but Kendrick pulled her back into his arms. He poked her puffed cheeks and chuckled,"You're really that scared someone’s going to steal me away?""If you could be stolen that easily, then you’re not worth liking."Annabelle wasn’t insecure to the point where a single text message from Kendrick would make her suspicious.But it was late, and the sudden calls and texts clearly meant something was going on.Still… she had to admit, she was just a tiny bit jealous."You jealous of Jaime too? I was on the phone with him," Kendrick laughed as he handed over his phone so she could see the call log.Annabelle glanced at it—sure enough, the call happened while she was playing the guitar. The corners of her lips twitched upward, but she still insisted stubbornly,"I said I was just casually asking."Kendrick then pulled up their group chat—the one with Jaim
I wish it were you Chapter 934 Hopelessly in Love
Kendrick’s kiss was too passionate—so passionate it was suffocating, instantly awakening every cell in Annabelle’s body.His kiss was also too forceful—so forceful that Annabelle forgot to resist, and didn't want to resist.Because when Kendrick desired her so intensely, she too was equally, fiercely craving him.It suddenly dawned on her—she truly, deeply liked this man above her. She liked his scent, liked his voice, even liked the beads of sweat trickling down his spine.When did she fall this hard?Maybe it started back when they were ambushed and narrowly escaped death… when they lived in the hospital together… when she risked falling just to climb over the balcony and see him.When she brought herself to his bed, faced her feelings for the first time, and accepted him both emotionally and physically—she had already fallen.As for her heart… it had been open to him long before that.Maybe it started with his first kiss. From that moment, her heart had already begun to waver—she j
I wish it were you Chapter 933 Mr. Gregory Is So Wronged
After his cold shower, Kendrick returned to the room and climbed into bed, but he still felt a bit restless.He gazed at the little woman for a while. She looked exhausted.Not wanting to wake her, he gently pulled her nightdress down and tucked the blanket securely around her.Then he turned around, facing away from her, closed his eyes, and tried to sleep.But in the twenty-something-degree room, Annabelle, now wrapped like a little cocoon, soon got uncomfortable and kicked the blanket off again.Not only that—she rolled over and draped her arm around Kendrick’s waist, hugging him from behind.Maybe because Kendrick’s body was still slightly cool from the cold shower, Annabelle loved the chilly "big body pillow" and even pressed her warm little face against his back.While tightly hugging her “old fox,” she continued her dream, still playing chess with the god of dreams.Kendrick let out a long sigh and gently held the hand around his waist, playfully tickling her palm.She didn’t w
I wish it were you Chapter 932 I Believe in Love Again
Kendrick chuckled helplessly. “She really doesn’t use her phone much, so there’s no need to worry about her finding out on her own.”He’d seen Anna’s phone interface before—it was mostly filled with practical apps like dictionaries and period trackers. The usual social media apps? She had tucked them all away in a folder labeled "Rarely Used."Thinking of his quirky little wife, Kendrick’s mood lightened significantly.Of course, he knew that in this internet era, Anna might eventually come across the gossip herself. That’s why he hoped, by the time she did, he would have already taken care of everything.Then, when she found out, she’d know exactly where the "arrow" came from—and see clearly what became of the person who fired it.That way, she wouldn’t feel too anxious or wronged. At most, she’d just complain about how shameless the rumor-spreader was.It was the best way Kendrick could think of to minimize the harm.“Alright. I promise,” Gauge said solemnly.“Then that’s all,” Kend
