I wish it were you Chapter 592 A Little Softening
Annabelle responded with, “Who asked you to care?” She stubbornly chose to wear the dress anyway.Beauty is every woman's nature, and besides, she thought Kendrick didn't want her to wear the dress because it highlighted her figure. She didn’t want to let him feel possessive over something like that.From then on, the two of them were silently upset with each other as they made their way to the hotel.It wasn't until Kendrick helped adjust her earring that he spoke up, saying, “Still not talking to me? Did Annabelle force me to make up with you in such a way?”Annabelle blushed, and slapped him lightly, calling him a dirty pervert. That finally broke the awkwardness between them.Now, as they entered the venue, Annabelle still looked upset.Kendrick sighed inwardly and decided to completely soften his stance.Surrounded by so many men eyeing her, he felt an overwhelming sense of urgency. He didn’t want to upset his little wife and risk her being swayed by another man.He took her to a

It had been three years since they last met, and she never expected to run into him here.He still looked as handsome as ever, his posture tall and straight. Even in a banquet hall full of sophisticated and elegant men and women, he stood out as a unique presence, making it hard to look away.Memories flooded Julissa’s mind, and she couldn’t help but feel her eyes grow red. She eagerly wanted to greet him, to ask where he had been all these years and what he had been up to.However, Scott grabbed her wrist.“Where are you going?”“I saw an old friend. I want to say hello,” Julissa replied excitedly.Scott followed her gaze and his eyes landed on the man in the distance. His brow furrowed slightly.She really did have many friends, didn't she? It seemed like she could run into familiar faces everywhere. But who was this pretty boy, and why did he make her so excited? He seemed to make her more thrilled than that Liam guy.“I’ll go with you,” Scott said, buttoning his suit and looking q

While Julissa enjoyed her dessert, the engagement ceremony on stage officially began.She still hadn’t seen her best friend, Annabelle, and she felt a little disappointed.Now that the ceremony had started, it wasn’t easy to walk around freely. So, she stayed in place, observing the so-called high society engagement party.She didn’t know the couple getting engaged today, nor was she interested in the ceremony itself. The process was the same everywhere: the matchmaker spoke, the bride and groom greeted their elders and offered tea, and then exchanged tokens.Julissa couldn’t help but think—whether in high society or the common people, these secular rituals were pretty much the same. The only difference was the grandeur of the venue.As for the guests being so distinguished or refined? Perhaps a little, but there were definitely people who didn’t quite fit the high-society image.There were greasy men sneaking peeks at the women’s chests, some people who had already had too much to dr

"No need."Julissa wasn't naive—she could tell the other woman was mocking her for not being worldly enough and for not having tasted fine things.But since this Serena was a friend of Scott's, Julissa decided to endure it and not make a big deal out of it.However, Serena wasn't letting up."Hickman Assistant, eating and drinking is fine, but you should stop with the photos. These are people with status and reputation. If you casually post something on social media, you might get a lawyer knocking on your door for invading their privacy rights."Julissa was getting angry.Forget the fact that she wasn’t even filming the event—how many people had their phones out recording during the ceremony with Ariana earlier?It was clear that this Miss He was just looking for a fight.Julissa suppressed her anger and ignored her.Serena continued, "Actually, eating and drinking however you want doesn’t matter. But as Scott’s assistant, if you lose face for him, that’s another story. Imagine if th

When Julissa heard that voice, a smile immediately spread across her face. She turned and instantly forgot about the unpleasant moment.She turned around and saw Lucas standing in front of her."Lucas... ah..."Before she could finish her greeting, Lucas had already grabbed her hand and pulled her toward him. With his other hand, he supported her waist.In one swift motion, Julissa found herself in the middle of the dance floor with Lucas.The first dance was nearing its end, and the rhythm was relatively slow.However, Julissa, caught off guard by Lucas’s sudden move, had yet to get into the rhythm. He seemed to be deliberately testing her dancing skills, which made her steps a little awkward.She felt like she was struggling to catch up, her movements all over the place."Julissa, how long has it been since you practiced? Your little feet are all over the place." Lucas teased her.Julissa stuck out her tongue. "About a month, I guess..."Then, she frowned. "You’re the one with the c

When Scott walked to the edge of the balcony and looked toward the dance floor, he saw her dancing gracefully in a white spaghetti-strap dress with a man. Her movements were elegant and beautiful, like a white swan gliding into the banquet hall. They danced with poise and beauty, a perfect match in appearance, and had already become the center of attention.Scott narrowed his eyes.What was the relationship between that man and her?Why were they so in sync?And the way she looked at him—her focus and the radiance in her eyes—Scott had never seen anything like it before. It was as if, in that moment, there were only the two of them in the entire banquet hall.A sour, bitter feeling surged from the depths of his heart.He left the balcony and turned to his friend. "Excuse me for a moment, we’ll catch up later."Scott left the second floor and returned to the first-floor banquet hall with a cold, gloomy aura.At that moment, Annabelle and Kendrick were also on the first floor. They had

As the second dance ended, Lucas supported Julissa’s waist and finished the dance with a graceful and smooth backward bend.The onlookers praised them, and some even clapped.However, through her inverted perspective, Julissa spotted a dark, somber face in the crowd.It was Scott, standing on the sidelines, watching her with an unreadable, gloomy expression.Julissa had no idea how long he had been watching, but a cold sweat broke out on her back. She felt like a schoolgirl caught skipping class by the teacher. Hastily, she straightened up and said to Lucas, “I should go.”Lucas, however, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back in front of him, handing her his phone. “Save your new number.”During the dance, the two of them had been so focused, almost competing in their dancing, with barely any small talk.Lucas wanted to catch up and hear about her recent life.Julissa hurriedly shared her contact details, saying, “I really need to go. If I don’t, my boss will say something.”Lucas loo

Making a young girl drink on his behalf—how shameless! Julissa lamented inwardly.Could it be because she had abandoned him earlier to dance with someone else, leaving him standing alone? Now, was CEO Nichols abusing his power to make her suffer?She had just complimented him on his noble character and the idea that he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, but now Julissa was retracting all her positive comments about Scott. He was extremely petty, vengeful, and cunning.She silently complained but dared not say anything, since after all, he was her boss."Assistant Hickman, do you have a problem?"Julissa shook her head. "No.""Good."Julissa followed Scott through the crowd, and soon, someone came over to offer a toast to him.Scott shamelessly handed the glass to Julissa."I can't drink recently; she’ll drink on my behalf," he boldly told his friend.In the business world, people often became excited at the prospect of making women drink. The man praised Julissa’s good dr

Seeing who it was, Scott pressed his lips together in mild disinterest.“What is it?” He glanced at his younger brother, Julian.Julian smirked. “Figured you weren’t asleep yet. I couldn’t sleep either, so I thought I’d come have a smoke with you.”As he spoke, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to his brother, then flicked open a lighter, lighting Scott’s cigarette before lighting his own. He took a slow drag.“Why did Julissa leave?”“Mm.”Scott’s posture was lazy, making it clear he had no intention of explaining.“Bro, are you serious? Still haven’t gotten the girl?”Scott frowned. “Did you come here just to talk nonsense?”“I told Mom and Dad that you’re dating.” Julian flicked off some ash with a grin.“I planned on telling them after getting the marriage certificate. You sure are quick to run your mouth.”Scott’s gaze was distant as he looked out the window.Back then, no matter how much he pleaded or tried to convince them otherwise, his parents had been determined
I wish it were you Chapter 859 Do You Want to Sleep With Her That Badly?
Julissa twitched the corner of her mouth. “Thanks, I guess.”It wasn’t like she had fought off some wild beast—just caught a cockroach. Did that really count as brave?Then she glanced at Yvette, who still looked pale and shaken. Suddenly, Julissa felt like a tomboy.She hadn’t been raised as a delicate, pampered lady and didn’t quite understand the refined way some women viewed the natural world.To her, she had simply disposed of a bug. If cockroaches weren’t such notorious pests with insane reproductive abilities, she might have even let it go.“How about we switch you to another room?” Scott suggested.Yvette hesitated before asking, “If a room hasn’t been used for a long time, isn’t it more likely to have cockroaches?”Julissa pressed her lips together. Oh, so what now? You want to stay in my boyfriend’s room? His is occupied often—probably no cockroaches there.Scott glanced at Julian, as if suggesting his younger brother switch rooms with Yvette.Julian looked troubled. “Bro, m
I wish it were you Chapter 858 Pretty Brave
Julissa was completely under Scott’s control. She wavered, forgetting all of her mother’s warnings and her own principles.At some point, her dress had been pushed up to her waist, and her shoulder straps had slipped down her arms.The cool air on her exposed skin made her shiver, but the heat from Scott’s body pressed against hers made her burn. Just as she was about to give in entirely, a woman’s sharp scream pierced through the night.Both she and Scott froze, instinctively turning their heads toward the door.Scott let out a long sigh, clearly trying to rein himself in.Finally, he placed a gentle kiss on her cheek before getting out of bed.“I’ll go check.”He walked to the wardrobe, pulled out a fresh set of pajamas, and put them on quickly. As he reached the bedroom door, he turned back to ask the still-dazed Julissa, “Do you want to come with me?”Her senses snapped back into place. She hurriedly pulled her fallen shoulder straps back up and straightened her dress before noddi
I wish it were you Chapter 857 I'm Afraid of You
Julissa closed her eyes for a moment. Even though she had expected this outcome, her heart still felt heavy.She steadied her emotions and continued asking, “Then… do you have a lot of experience?”Scott didn't know how to respond. Should he tell her that, at almost thirty, he had only ever been with one person—and that person was her?If she found out that, before they even knew each other, he had taken her to a hotel when she was drunk… Even though she had been very willing at the time, she had still been intoxicated. It could be considered taking advantage of her…What would she think of him if she knew? Would she see him as frivolous, reckless, even a bit predatory?Even if he explained that he hadn't known what came over him that night, that he had been utterly captivated by her and had been searching for her ever since—would she believe him?With a quiet sigh, he decided that no matter what, he hadn't handled that situation well. He didn't want to bring it up.“My experience is…
I wish it were you Chapter 856 Been There
Scott was momentarily stunned, then chuckled. “So you were bothered by this?”“Why?”Seeing how determined she was to know, Scott decided to explain.“The pajamas Yvette wore were actually meant for you. The last time you got drunk and stayed over, there weren’t any suitable pajamas for you, so I thought I’d get you a couple of sets.”“You thought I would come back then?”Scott smiled slightly. “I figured you’d come to me sooner or later.”Julissa couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter at his confident and possessive words.But she quickly refocused on the main issue.“If they were meant for me, why did Yvette wear them?”Scott shrugged. “It was Julian who gave them to her. She came to Elfhedge in a hurry and forgot to pack pajamas.”This explanation eased Julissa’s mind a little.However, the clothes originally meant for her had ended up on another woman, so Scott shouldn’t be wearing the same set of pajamas.“You should take your clothes off,” Julissa said, her voice a little ster
I wish it were you Chapter 855 He Seems Pretty Innocent
Scott stood by the bed, dimming the bedside lamp before sitting down. He didn’t look at her, as if his earlier request was the most natural thing in the world.Julissa felt like she had been put under a spell. She obediently walked over with the blanket in her arms, placed it on a nearby chair, and sat on the edge of the bed, feeling incredibly restrained.A sudden realization hit her—wasn’t she just delivering herself straight into the big bad wolf’s den?Scott, however, didn’t do anything inappropriate. He simply scooted to the other side of the bed, making room for her, then lifted the blanket and patted the mattress.“Put your legs in.”“M… Mr. Nichols…” Julissa’s voice trembled as she stared at him, feeling so nervous she could cry.Wasn’t this just her voluntarily crawling into his bed?!Scott glanced at her bare legs and chuckled. “I’m just worried you’re cold.”She was wearing a nightdress, and she was feeling chilly.But the real question was—if she got into his bed, could sh
I wish it were you Chapter 854 The Prey Walks Right In
The thought that Scott might be a seasoned flirt—that everything he had said and done to her, he had also done to other women—made Julissa’s heart sink. She lowered her head, feeling a pang of sourness in her chest.But it was already late. She didn’t dwell on it any longer, quickly drying her hair before getting into bed.No matter what, the sun would still rise tomorrow. She had work, she needed to earn money to support herself, and she had to find a new place and move out…With so much to do the next day, she forced herself to stop overthinking and shut her eyes, willing herself to sleep.However, after lying there for a while, not only did sleep evade her, but she became more awake—because it was just too cold.The blanket she had was way too thin. It was basically a summer quilt!The weather wasn’t warm enough for something this light. Did Scott not have common sense? Was he bad at taking care of people? Or… did he do this on purpose?She tried to endure it, but the cold seeped t
I wish it were you Chapter 853 Who’s Flirting with Who?
Scott responded casually, “So? Do you need me to carry you out again?”Julissa’s face heated up. Sometimes, Mr. Nichols is really so… improper.This also confirmed one thing—this guy was definitely the reserved-but-secretly-wild type, and his desire seemed very strong.How do you deal with a man like that? Simple—flirt with him, tease him, but never let him have his way! lol…The corners of Julissa’s mouth curled into a mischievous smile. She was starting to feel more like a seductive villainess.She cleared her throat and said, “That’s not what I meant. I just wanted you to hand me my clothes.”As soon as she finished speaking, Scott pushed open the door and entered, holding a set of her sleepwear.Julissa had already hidden herself beneath the water, only her delicate collarbones visible above the surface—one of her proudest features.She pointed to the chair beside her and, blushing, said, “Mr. Nichols, just leave them there.”But instead of placing the clothes down, Scott caught h
I wish it were you Chapter 852 A Woman’s Intuition
“That’s enough, Mr. Nichols,” she interrupted him. “I don’t need all those complicated settings.”“Alright, then. You go ahead and wash up. Call me if you need anything.”Julissa nodded silently. If something went wrong halfway through her bath, could she actually call him in?Some rather colorful images flashed through her mind—doing this and that in the bathroom…She quickly shook her head, feeling like she was beyond saving.Scott didn’t say anything more and turned to leave the bathroom.Suddenly, a thought struck Julissa, and she quickly called after him. “Mr. Nichols, my luggage is still downstairs!”“I’ll go get it now. You just take your bath.”“The main thing is… my change of clothes is in my suitcase…”Scott paused for a moment. “I’ll bring it up for you.”Julissa wanted to ask him, How do you even know what I’ll wear? But before she could, he had already left the bathroom. She decided not to overthink it and just let him handle it.Once the bathtub was filled, Julissa slipp
