Chapter 558 Love You
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-04-01 18:00:46Annabelle felt like there was something Kendrick wanted to say to her.
Suddenly, she realized something and stared at him, asking, “Kendrick, could your friend be…?”
“What?” Kendrick’s expression turned serious for a moment.
“Is it that the father of the child isn’t around, or she doesn’t feel comfortable discussing it with the father?”
Kendrick’s expression softened, but a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
“Why do you ask?”
“If that’s the case, why would she come to you to discuss whether or not to have the baby? Shouldn’t she be talking to the father?”
Kendrick suddenly smiled and ruffled her hair.
Annabelle, while smoothing her hair, asked, “Did I say something wrong?”
“She messaged me earlier about something else,” Kendrick pulled her into his arms, “I know she has a heart conditi

Kendrick smirked, "If it happens this time, then we’ll keep it.""Who’s going to have a baby for you?"Annabelle blushed and pushed him away, heading for the bathroom. Kendrick followed her in, shamelessly trying to crowd under the shower with her to fight for the warm water, still asking, "Is it going to happen?"Annabelle answered firmly, "No!"She was well aware of her own menstrual cycle, and that's why she had allowed Kendrick to not take any precautions.Kendrick pursed his lips in disappointment, "Then I'll try harder next time.""..."That night, Annabelle was exhausted. After a shower, she quickly fell asleep.By the light of the moon, Kendrick stared at her peaceful and beautiful face.He had really wanted to tell her about Emilia earlier, but he wasn't sure how she'd react—whether she'd get angry or upset.Annabelle had been abandoned by her family before, and she was always cautious a

Marvin tugged at her collar and pulled her back."Where do you think you're going?""Mr.Gregory, I have no more value to you," Linda replied, her expression showing guilt.Marvin smiled faintly. "Not necessarily."An hour later, Marvin walked into the café with Linda.Annabelle had already arrived, sitting by the window in a loose ivory-colored turtleneck sweater. Her hair fell softly over her shoulders as she held a cup of hot coffee, staring out the window in quiet thought.Marvin paused for a moment, mesmerized by her.No matter how many times he saw her, every time he looked at Annabelle from a distance, he was struck by that same rush of emotions, just like the first time they met—his heart felt as though it was taken by her completely.He truly wished that Annabelle was his.Linda nudged his arm, pulling him out of his thoughts. He looked at her, irritated.Linda gave him a suggestive look. "Mis

Marvin was startled; he hadn’t noticed that the man was still there.He pursed his lips in silence and sat obediently across from Annabelle and Elio, next to Linda.Annabelle smiled apologetically at them and suggested they step aside. “Please excuse yourselves. I’ll be conducting a consultation, and since it involves private matters for a woman, it’s not appropriate for men to be present.”They nodded in agreement and moved to a nearby table, staring at each other from across the room.Annabelle then examined Linda's pulse on both wrists, her brows furrowing slightly. The pulse was slow and weak—certainly not a good sign. Observing Linda’s complexion, which was pale and fatigued, she noticed that when they shook hands, her fingers were cold to the touch. This woman’s illness was definitely serious.Annabelle maintained her calm expression as she continued asking about her symptoms.Since Marvin had coordinated with Linda earlier, she had been prepared to speak about women's issues, s

The man crossed the street and walked into the café, finding an empty table to sit at. He appeared like any ordinary customer.As he sat down, the tip of a knife accidentally poked out from his sleeve, but he quickly concealed it. In his haste, he accidentally cut his finger. The wound wasn’t deep or long, and he paid it no mind.It was his first time killing someone, and he had indeed been nervous. But now, he clenched his fist firmly.All he had to do now was wait for Annabelle to be alone. Once she was by herself, he would strike without mercy. He would not hesitate.…On Annabelle's side, Linda took an envelope containing ten thousand in cash from her bag and pushed it across the table toward Annabelle."Thank you for helping me with my health, Miss Sanchez. This is the consultation fee."This was what Marvin had arranged with her beforehand—ten thousand for today’s visit, and twenty thousand for the next.But Linda had no intention of coming back for a follow-up visit, nor did

Annabelle ultimately accepted the consultation fee.Marvin, sitting across from her, was in a good mood when he saw her take the money. After all, that was his money, and by accepting it, Annabelle was indirectly spending it.He believed that Annabelle had never really relied on Kendrick’s money. Given her personality, she clearly liked being self-sufficient. If that weren’t the case, she wouldn't have accepted his business offer in the first place, earning extra by seeing patients.Marvin felt a bit more at ease now. Since Annabelle accepted the money, it meant she hadn’t seen through his little scheme—that Linda was just a pawn he had planted.Speaking of which, that woman did look a little too thin, almost malnourished. Could she really be sick? She had probably gained a little advantage—acting as a decoy while also getting treated.While Marvin was lost in thought, Annabelle turned her gaze toward him, and Linda called out, "Marvin, we’re done, you guys can come over now!"Marvin

Inside the café.Annabelle watched Marvin and Linda leave before turning her attention back to her surroundings.The petite girl was trailing behind Marvin, chatting away. Marvin had a cold, indifferent expression while Linda playfully made faces at his back, even shaking her fist at him—completely unaware.For a moment, Annabelle couldn’t help but think that they made quite the pair. But when she remembered the girl's illness, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh.She was such a cheerful girl, just a couple of years younger than Annabelle, and yet her life, at the prime of her youth, was already on the brink of ending.Annabelle felt sympathy for her and truly hoped that Linda would come back to her soon. The longer she waited, the more likely her mild condition would worsen, and once that happened, the chances of a full recovery would be drastically different.But whether Linda could come to terms with her illness and decide to fight for her life was ultimately up to her."Madam, do

Perhaps it was a little awkward, Annabelle thought.After all, Jax was a straight-laced man, and he might think that eating dessert was a bit too "girly"?"Don’t be so polite. It’s me who should be thanking you for coming out with me today," Annabelle smiled.A short while later, the waiter brought over the desserts.Jax took the delicate plate with his rough hands and then used his calloused fingers to pick up the small spoon, starting to eat the cake.At a distant table, a man dressed in black ordered a second cup of coffee and glanced over at Annabelle from afar.That woman actually invited a bodyguard to eat with her.A hypocritical woman, just like her husband, Kendrick!If he went over now and slashed her throat as he passed her... Hmph, would she still be able to eat?But he forced himself to be patient, reminding himself that after waiting all these days, he couldn’t afford to waste it all.Over at Annabelle's table, she watched Jax carefully enjoying the cake, and an idea sud

Jax paused, sinking into silence for a moment.Annabelle understood that he was feeling uneasy and quietly waited for him to continue.She also reflected on the days she had spent interacting with Jax. She had long realized that Jax was skilled in many areas—he wasn’t just good at fighting, but also at rowing, swimming, fishing, and even repairing boats and doing needlework.Now that she thought about it, he must have learned boat repairs because he was the son of a fisherman, and needlework likely came from taking care of his sister. He must have been a really good brother."Did you learn to fight back then?" she asked softly.Jax nodded. He explained that when he first entered the underground boxing ring, he was a beginner, but the boxing ring’s owner saw potential in him.Before he fought in his first official match, he was given rigorous and intense training, with a salary and a place to stay. Jax had once considered th

I wish it were you Chapter 960 “Can’t Live Without Me Now?”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t willing,” Annabelle replied honestly.If Kendrick had asked her this question two months ago, she would’ve said no—without even thinking.Because having a child meant one more bond, one more tie.Back then, she couldn’t even picture a clean break if they ever parted ways.She didn’t believe in their long-term future—not really.Of course, even now, she wasn’t entirely sure.But at least now, she was willing to try.So she no longer held onto the mindset of walking away unscathed.That meant, when it came to the topic of kids, Annabelle wasn’t dodging it anymore.But truthfully—she still wasn’t ready.“I just... I don’t know if I want to be a mom yet,” she said quietly, her voice soft but clear. “And I don’t even know if I’d be good at it.”Her eyes looked up at him, wide and earnest.In the darkness, her eyes sparkled like twin pearls.Kendrick couldn’t help but press a kiss to them.“Don’t be scared,” he murmured. “I’ve never been a dad either. We’ll figure it
I wish it were you Chapter 959 Would You Want to Have a Baby With Me?
“Trey already told me everything,” Grandpa said bluntly. “Anna didn’t even like you at first. You only got her by pestering her non-stop. Even made her show off your so-called love in front of the press and promise she’d never divorce you.”“…”So Uncle Trey’s lips weren’t that sealed after all.Getting called out like that, Kendrick felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly.“I did win her over with sincerity, Grandpa. The way you’re telling it, I sound like some sleazy scammer.”Grandpa let out a cold hmph, not exactly denying it.“But I’ll give you this—you’ve got a good eye. Anna’s a solid girl. That’s why I’m in such a rush for you—have a kid sooner, and your lives will settle down more, you get it?”“…Got it.”Grandpa commanded a certain authority at home.No matter how sharp, composed, and cold Kendrick appeared in public, in front of Grandpa, he still had to sit down and listen—no room for rebuttal.But in truth, wanting a child wasn’t about tying Anna down fo
I wish it were you Chapter 958 Playing Dumb
Of course Annabelle knew him well—whenever Kendrick said “I’ll try my best,” it was basically code for I probably won’t do it.She was just about to push the topic further when his phone rang. It was the restaurant calling—They were out of chicken wings. Could they swap them for drumsticks?“One moment,” Kendrick said to the caller, then pulled the phone away slightly and turned to Anna.“Babe, no wings. Drumsticks okay?”Annabelle gave him a helpless, slightly amused nod. She was completely speechless at this point—and had zero energy left to argue with him.Fine. Whatever.Kendrick was swamped with work most of the time anyway.These past few days were probably an exception.Once he got busy again, even if he wanted to be frequent, he wouldn't have the time.So she dropped the subject.Half an hour later, the food arrived.They had dinner, clipped the white cat’s claws, and then Annabelle told Kendrick she wasn’t sleepy yet.If he was tired, he could go to bed first—she was heading
I wish it were you Chapter 957 Food, Love, and All That Comes With It
Kendrick couldn’t help but pull the petite woman into his arms and whisper,“I’ll love you and our baby with everything I’ve got.”Annabelle pushed him away slightly, raising an eyebrow.“We don’t even know if there is a baby yet—you sure talk like it’s already a done deal.”Kendrick chuckled and kissed her forehead gently.How could he tell her that what truly filled his heart with joy wasn’t just the thought of raising a child with her…It was the happiness of being fully accepted by her, completely and unconditionally.While Mr. Gregory was basking in his happiness, Annabelle suddenly remembered something.The Young Master had once warned her not to get pregnant.Because of her health.He had said her body wasn’t in a good enough condition to have a child.But right now, she felt fine.Besides, Kendrick had taken her for a full check-up afterward, and everything had come back normal—except for a little malnutrition...Annabelle closed her eyes.She decided to lock away the Young Ma
I wish it were you Chapter 956 A Signal of Love
When Kendrick said those words, even his breath faltered slightly—something rare for him.This time… it was different.Maybe the urge to reproduce was the most primitive human instinct, something engraved deep into their genes.So just the thought that this time it was for a child made him feel unusually stirred.Annabelle felt it too—but in her case, it came more with anxiety than excitement.Having a baby…To her, it felt like a sacred thing.After all, this was about bringing a whole new life into the world.Just the idea of becoming a mother made it hard for her to adjust.Could I really be a good mom?Once there’s a child, life will completely change… Will I be able to adapt?While her thoughts were still a mess, Kendrick’s sweat was already dripping onto her collarbone, trailing down her chest, soaking the sheets beneath them.Her back was sweaty too, dampening the bed even more.There were still so many things to think about—But in that moment… there wasn’t really time to thin
I wish it were you Chapter 955 Can… This Kind of Thing Be Just Tried Out?
What were the two of them feeling at this moment?One was flustered and conflicted.The other—full of ambition.Anna thought, Grandpa treats me like his own granddaughter. Now that he’s seriously ill and doesn’t have much time left, this is his only wish—how could I bear to refuse?But if she didn’t refuse… did that mean she really had to have a baby?She looked at Kendrick. He was also looking at her.Annabelle could feel her cheeks heating up in an instant.Kendrick’s thoughts were different. Having a baby was something they could take their time with, sure—but now that Grandpa had made it clear, they couldn’t just leave it to fate anymore. It needed to be planned.He hadn’t yet had enough time to enjoy their two-person world.But maybe… adding a little monkey to the mix would make life even more fun?So before Anna could even speak, Kendrick took her hand and turned to Grandpa with resolve:“Don’t worry, Grandpa. We’ll do our best!”The old man nodded in satisfaction, patting his g
I wish it were you Chapter 954 Still Haven’t Held a Great-Grandchild
The old man had been about to scold his eldest grandson—Your wife was hospitalized for poisoning, and you still had the nerve to stay home?!But as he thought about it a bit more, something didn’t add up.His granddaughter-in-law said she’d come into contact with a poisonous plant by the seaside and had only just recovered, arriving at the estate this morning.Meanwhile, Han Ye—this brat—had been moping around at home these past couple of days, burning up with fever, looking totally out of it.Could it be… the two of them had a fight?The old man sipped his tea, glanced at his granddaughter-in-law, then at his grandson.Speaking of which, he thought, these two have been married for over half a year, almost a year now. And still no sign of wanting a child.Was it a lack of emotional foundation? Or were they planning to just play around for a couple more years?Anna was still young, sure—no rush.But Kendrick had just turned 31 after the New Year. How was he not in a hurry?Besides, hav
I wish it were you Chapter 953 What Would He Taste Like?
Kendrick said seriously, “Your stomach’s been empty for two days. If you eat this right away, it might hurt. I’ll have the staff bring up something warm and easy to digest.”As he spoke, he picked up the cordless phone by the bed and made a call downstairs.And while he was at it, he took the strawberries with him.Annabelle followed him off the bed, trying to sneak one from the plate—only to have her hand gently smacked by the sly old fox. Smack.The little bunny puffed up her cheeks and withdrew her hand, sulking.She plopped down on the sofa outside and waited obediently for her meal.Kendrick hung up and sat across from her, leisurely eating the strawberries one by one, clearly enjoying himself.The bunny’s cheeks puffed out more and more, like she was hiding a whole carrot in there.It was rare to see Anna getting this worked up over food. Kendrick felt both amused and a little guilty.Eventually, unable to resist her furious little glare, he relented and offered her one strawber

Kendrick raised an eyebrow, looking down at Marvin from above. "You want to meddle in your brother and sister-in-law's sex life too?"The word “sister-in-law” stung like a needle in Marvin’s chest.He stepped up two stairs until he was eye-level with Kendrick. "Don't get cocky. I’ll make sure Anna sees the real you soon enough."Kendrick gave a mocking laugh. "I'll be waiting."With that, he popped another strawberry into his mouth—this one tasted especially sweet.Meanwhile, Marvin stormed out of the Gregory estate and walked toward the lake. After checking that no one was around, he dialed a number.It took a while for the other end to pick up."What’s going on? Why did you take so long to answer?""Geez, Second Young Master, can you cut me some slack? I’ve had stomach pains all night, didn’t sleep a wink. I’m trying to catch up on sleep now, okay?"Marvin remembered—this unfortunate little reporter was already in the late stages of cancer. He hadn’t known at first, but one day
