Chapter 583 Sleeping in Her Bed
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-04-04 18:12:41At that moment, the elevator arrived, and Zane stepped inside. "You should go back, it's cold in the hallway."
He never looked at her once as the elevator doors closed.
The cold wind from the hallway blew in, causing Julissa to shiver. She tightened her clothes and walked back home, still in a daze.
She glanced once more at the cup of brown sugar water in the kitchen and frowned. There, on the counter, was a men's wristwatch!
It was Scott's watch. Did he intentionally leave it there?
Whether he meant to or not, Zane must have seen the watch and guessed that there was another man in her house.
All of this was because of him, and now it had caused a misunderstanding between her and Doctor Carter.
Doctor Carter must now think she was a huge flirt.
Fuming, Julissa stormed into her bedroom, only to find Scott lying on her bed, seemingly asleep.
Looking at the man on her bed, she inwardly complained. Even when asleep, he still

I wish it were you Chapter 584 An Unconventional Way of Pursuing
When Julissa woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the bathroom, she realized she was already in her bed.She sat up and scratched her head, feeling a bit confused.Wasn’t she in the living room earlier? How did she end up in bed?Had Scott left?She got out of bed to use the bathroom and called out toward the other room, "Mr. Nichols?"The room was pitch black, and there was no answer.She walked into the kitchen and glanced at the cupboard. The watch was gone.She checked the entryway next, and the shoes under the shoe rack were also gone.It seemed he had already left. He must have carried her to bed after she fell asleep, then left afterward.There was an inexplicable feeling of disappointment.But soon, that feeling was replaced by the sharp pang of stomach pain as she drowsily made her way to the bathroom.Afterward, she returned to bed, ready to fall back asleep. But after lyin

Julissa was close to tears. Although half of her salary was being deducted, she still had 50,000 left, but it felt like being sliced open—it was painful."This is just inhuman..." she muttered under her breath."Even if it's for the money, you better start coming to work on time from now on!" Linda said with a smile, patting her on the shoulder. "Mr. Nichols wants some coffee, go make him a cup, and don't mess up again."Julissa quickly agreed and, after putting down her things, headed to the breakroom.Linda watched her leave, feeling helpless. The new rules that had been implemented were something Scott had come up with on the spot, and they were only directed at the executive assistant, effectively targeting Julissa for not being present.Was this really his way of pursuing a woman? Linda couldn’t help but think that Scott’s emotional intelligence was lacking.Meanwhile, Julissa took out her favorite instant coffee from

Julissa froze for a second. Was Scott teasing her?Sure enough, men who were usually so reserved had a hidden mischievous side.Wasn’t this a form of workplace harassment, though?She decided to play dumb—after all, Scott was her employer now, her "bread and butter.""I was just looking at that painting," she said, taking a step back and subtly pulling her arm away.Scott casually slipped his hands into his pockets, unfazed."Well then, come up and have a closer look."He started up the stairs first, and Julissa, reluctantly, followed him.As she walked behind him, heading toward his bedroom, the feeling of being “taken advantage of” intensified.He had already shown a flirtatious side before, and now it seemed like he had finally decided to make his move. Was this the moment he was going to take advantage of her?What if someone walked in and caught them? The office door wasn’t locke

Not long after she participated in the competition, she had the car accident, and since then, she hadn't been able to return to the stage.Julissa gazed at the painting of herself, feeling a sense of fate between her and Scott. At the same time, her heart was filled with a strong desire—she longed to be that little swan on the stage again.But she knew it was no longer possible."I remember Assistant Hickman used to dance ballet. Do you know this dancer?" Scott asked, gazing at her profile."...No," her voice was hoarse, tinged with a slight nasal tone.She didn’t want Scott to know that she was the one in the painting. If he found out, it would be terribly awkward for her. He might think it was embarrassing—how could he hang a picture of his assistant on his wall? He would probably take it down.Julissa sniffed and smiled at him. "Mr. Nichols, your time is valuable. Let's get on with the coffee brewing lesson."Righ

Julissa felt the pressure of his gaze, her scalp tingling as if she had been caught daydreaming in class and was suddenly called on by the teacher.She stammered, "You... you just said to put the coffee grounds on the filter paper..."Scott pressed his temple. "Did I really need to say that?"Julissa realized she had just said something pointless. She wiped the cold sweat from her brow and continued, "Then you don’t need much water at first, just wet the coffee grounds, and then... wait a moment?""That step is called blooming. Continue.""Oh, blooming... then we add water!"Scott sighed in exasperation. "The scale has a timer. Remember, the blooming time is 30 seconds."Julissa nodded quickly. "Oh, got it! Then we add water, using the pour-over kettle in a spiral motion, just like you're doing, right?""160 ml of water, add it in two stages. Once the first batch of water has fully filtered through, begin the second." He

Julissa couldn’t help but wonder if Scott had also held Linda’s hand, guiding her on how to pour the water in circles just like he did with her.She stared at his face, waiting for him to respond.Scott, however, remained indifferent. "I usually have her make instant coffee or buy coffee from downstairs. If I want pour-over, I make it myself."What?Why was he so lenient with Linda, but so harsh with her, Julissa?A surge of dissatisfaction bubbled up inside her, though she didn't dare to voice it strongly."Then why did you want me to learn?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral."Sometimes I just want to be lazy," he replied, raising an eyebrow and looking at her. "You said you really like learning new things and challenging yourself, right?"Julissa: "..."At that moment, Julissa felt like Scott was deliberately toying with her.She remembered how she had been docked half her salary for being late due to

Ariana had been worried that Kendrick might suddenly back out and not attend the engagement party. After all, their relationship was no longer what it used to be, and she could feel his deliberate distance.But seeing him arrive, Ariana immediately felt at ease, silently cursing herself for being overly anxious. Brother Kendrick had always kept his word, and if he had promised to come, he would definitely show up.Moreover, their relationship hadn’t reached the point of no return. Kendrick would still attend her engagement party out of respect for their past friendship.However, something felt off. Ariana couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong with Kendrick today. His brows were furrowed, his expression cold, as though he were angry.Annabelle, walking next to him, looked equally indifferent.They were walking side by side, yet there was no hand-holding or arm-linking.Ariana, ever observant, picked up on these small

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ariana called over a waiter to take Annabelle’s coat.When Annabelle had arrived, she was wearing a coat that hid the outfit underneath. The only thing Ariana had noticed were her shoes. They were cheap, nothing special.Ariana figured that the dress Annabelle wore today probably wasn’t very expensive either.Wearing something so shabby to an event like this was embarrassing, especially when she was in the presence of her "brother Kendrick." But the more Annabelle embarrassed herself, the more Ariana felt satisfied.After all, her engagement dress was designed by a world-renowned designer. The contrast between her and Annabelle would be stark. Their tastes would be clearly evident, with Ariana’s standing out far more.Kendrick, a man of refined taste, would never be interested in a woman like Annabelle, who clearly lacked any sense of style.As Ariana watched Annabelle remove her white coat, revealing her dress, she was momentarily taken aback.

Annabelle shot him a glare. She wasn’t looking for any signs of another woman.What she noticed was Kendrick’s pale complexion and the sweat beading on his forehead — it didn’t seem like sweat from heat. More importantly, he carried the distinct scent of medicine and blood."Let me see your wound."She tossed the towel aside, quickly twisting her damp hair up, already preparing to check his injury."I’m fine," Kendrick said. "Jax’s injuries are worse. The smell is just from tending to his wounds."Annabelle reached out, touching his forehead. It was slightly warm, but not burning. She then held his wrist, carefully checking his pulse."Your pulse is weak. It feels like your body has been affected by cold and your blood flow is compromised. It seems..."She frowned, staring at him. "Just how much blood did you lose last night?"Kendrick blinked, inwardly sighing. Marrying a little doctor really did mean there was no hiding anything."Not much. Don’t worry so much."Annabelle pursed her
I wish it were you Chapter 699 Does Anna Want a Lollipop?
Kendrick suddenly remembered something. On his way through the city, he'd passed a candy store. Thinking of the "little one" at home, he bought a lollipop and tucked it into his pocket.Now, to distract Anna, he took out the lollipop.The moment Annabelle saw it, her face paled.It was exactly like her dream!In that unsettling dream from the morning, Kendrick had also brought back a lollipop. But it had fallen to the ground, turning into a pool of blood. She had woken up in terror.Could she still be dreaming? Was Kendrick not actually back yet?"This isn’t real. I don't want it!"Kendrick, his thoughts wandering in a more playful direction, was a little caught off guard by her reaction. When Anna demanded a real lollipop earlier, his heart had already started racing.He set the glass of water aside, pulled her into his arms, and asked in a low, hoarse voice, "Are you sure about that?"At this moment, the pain from his wound was forgotten, and even the bleeding didn't seem to matter.

Annabelle frowned at him. "You weren’t testing me on purpose, were you?"Kendrick smiled faintly, neither admitting nor denying it."You really were testing me!" Annabelle raised her hand, ready to punch him again.He quickly caught her fist.In the past, a playful hit from her was like a tickle, but now he couldn’t take it. Even the simple act of grabbing her hand was already a struggle."Let’s go back to the room and talk," he suggested.Indeed, the danger had passed that morning, and he could have called Annabelle to reassure her. But he chose not to. He wanted her to understand that during tense moments, the most important thing was to remain calm and patient, never losing composure.The more challenges she faced, the more capable she would become when confronted with even tougher problems in the future.That way, even if one day, for whatever reason, he couldn’t manage the company, she would stand as the steadfast lady of the house, ensuring the company wouldn’t fall into chaos.
I wish it were you Chapter 697 Reunion
This time, the distance was much closer, and Annabelle could see clearly. On the small boat was a round, stout man steering it.It seemed to be the same boat she had glimpsed earlier from afar. So, had it brought someone over? Could it really be Kendrick?Her heart pounded wildly.Afraid of disappointment, Annabelle didn't dare let herself feel too much hope.Her entire body tensed as she hurried aboard the yacht. She immediately grabbed a crew member and asked where the person from the boat had gone.The crew member pointed to the upper deck.Without another word, Annabelle rushed toward the deck, not even daring to ask if it was truly Kendrick.Barefoot, she ran through the long corridor. The reflective glass along the hallway showed her disheveled reflection. Her wet hair clung to her face, a bath towel draped over her shoulders, and her mermaid dress, still damp, clung uncomfortably to her body. But she didn’t care.All she could think about was reaching the upper deck.Finally, s
I wish it were you Chapter 696 The Scene with Him
Everything turned out to be much simpler than expected.As Annabelle plunged into the sea, the warmth of the water enveloped her. She felt as if the ocean itself was healing and soothing her, as though it was where she truly belonged.It seemed like she could hear a distant, ancient voice. The language was unfamiliar, but its tone conveyed deep, comforting affection.When Annabelle surfaced, her heart was calm and resolute. She glanced at the horizon and, for a fleeting moment, thought she saw a white boat approaching.Standing at the bow of the boat was a figure that resembled Kendrick.But before she could focus, the churning waves obscured her view. She dismissed it as an illusion. The distance was too far to see anyone clearly, yet her mind had conjured the image of Kendrick.Afterward, Annabelle climbed into the lifeboat. Gauge immediately draped a towel over her shoulders.“That was a perfect dive,” Gauge praised.Annabelle gave him a faint smile. “Your turn next.”“Mine’s much
I wish it were you Chapter 695 Preparing for the Worst
Annabelle wanted to find Kendrick, but on this unfamiliar island, she had no friends or anyone she could turn to for help. She didn't even know where to start looking.As for contacting the police, she decided against it for now.Since that mysterious Mr. Whitney dared to make a move against Kendrick, he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to get caught by the authorities. Furthermore, if the police got involved, the news of Kendrick's disappearance would quickly spread back to China.This would deal a significant blow to the Gregory Group, which might be exactly what the the Whitney Group wanted.Unless she had no other choice or no leads at all, Annabelle wasn’t planning to call the police.If all else failed, she could return to China and track down Mr. Whitney herself. The the Whitney Group was well-known, and finding him wouldn’t be difficult. Once she located him, she might be able to uncover information about Kendrick.After thinking it through, Annabelle said to Gauge, “Let’s

Whatever tomorrow might bring, whether storm or sunshine, she would remain steadfast.Until she received news of Kendrick, she would hold herself together and wait for his return.Just as Gauge said, since she chose him, she must become strong and calm.In the second game, Annabelle cleared her mind of distractions and focused on the chessboard.Gauge, however, grew increasingly distracted. The things Annabelle had shared with him tonight weighed heavily on his mind.He couldn't stop worrying about her future, wondering if there was still a chance for him to become a part of her life—to become her other half.As a result, he played terribly. Despite his usually superior skills, he lost to Annabelle.After her unexpected victory, Annabelle felt a shift in her mindset.She turned to Gauge and said, "We have filming tomorrow. I’m going to get some rest now. You should try to get some sleep too.""Alright."Annabelle brought him a thin blanket and a new pillow before returning to the inne
I wish it were you Chapter 693 Since She Chose Him
Annabelle wanted badly to call Jax, but she hesitated.What if the situation on his side was critical? Calling him might only cause trouble."Kendrick is no ordinary man. Ordinary crises can't defeat him. You have to trust him," Gauge said, clearing his throat awkwardly.Annabelle was taken aback. It was rare to hear Gauge speak so positively about Kendrick. The two of them had always seemed to hold a low opinion of each other."I hope so too. But we’re not in our country, and Kendrick has no one by his side. It makes me uneasy."Even when they were in their own country, Kendrick had faced numerous life-threatening situations, all orchestrated by that enigmatic figure, Mr. Whitney.However, Mr. Whitney had hesitated and missed several opportunities.Kendrick once said it was because Mr. Whitney liked her and couldn't bear to scare her.Annabelle always assumed that was just something Kendrick said to comfort her. She didn't even know Mr. Whitney, so the claim sounded absurd.But what
I wish it were you Chapter 692 The Missed Path That Can't Be Returned
How should Annabelle answer Gauge?In the past, Annabelle always thought that her marriage to Kendrick was a mere formality. They agreed to divorce after their collaboration ended, keeping their arrangement a secret to avoid damaging Kendrick’s reputation. It was an agreement they both accepted.But now, after half a year, everything had changed.What was once a formal marriage was no longer just that. They had truly become husband and wife, both physically and emotionally.What she had once hidden from others now seemed like a twist of fate upon reflection."After Marvin called off the engagement, my parents wanted to marry me off to a wealthy old man. That’s when I hastily decided to get engaged to Kendrick," Annabelle said, holding a chess piece with a bitter smile.Thinking back, she really had been like a chess piece herself.Her fate was never in her own hands. She was a pawn manipulated by her family. The moment she lost her usefulness, she would be cast aside.But after marryi
