The next day, Kendrick took Annabelle to the Gregory's old residence, and she officially met her in-laws as Kendrick's wife.After entering the antique mahogany door, Annabelle asked, "By the way, is Marvin here, too?"Kendrick turned to look at her. "Are you worried about running into him?"She shook her head. "I'm not worried, but it may be a bit awkward.""Relax. He's not here."In fact, Kendrick didn't want Annabelle to see Marvin, either.'I won't let you run into Marvin again,' thought Kendrick. ' It's the first time we come back to the old residence, so I definitely want no trouble. Marvin humiliated you the other day, so I won't let you two meet today. Besides, even if that happens again in the future, I won't let him off the hook. After all, you're my wife now.'Annabelle was relieved to hear that and then she started to observe the Gregory's residence.Unlike the Sanchez's residence, the Gregory's came with a traditional decoration style. There were pavilions and fountains,
When Marvin saw Annabelle, standing beautifully by the lake, he became slack-jawed as if he had been hit by a bolt of thunder.He tried to describe her beauty, but his mind went blank. He simply felt that he had seen a fairy.Annabelle, on the other hand, felt helpless. She didn't want to see Marvin at all, yet she just bumped into him.She then figured that she would see him sooner or later anyway, so she decided to greet him calmly, and then she would leave.Marvin beat her to it and said, "I think... Have we met somewhere before?"Annabelle was taken aback and suddenly realized what was going on. "That's right. He hasn't seen my face yet, and he always thinks I'm just an ugly bumpkin, so he probably won't recognize me right away.""Take your time to recall. I'm leaving now."After saying so, Annabelle turned to leave. Now that Marvin didn't recognize her, she could just walk away.Things would be easier for her in such a way. After all, she didn't like Marvin anyway.However, Marvi
Neither of them said anything along the way. Feeling bitter, Kendrick sent Annabelle home.Then he went to the office as usual, and when he came back, it was already 10:00 p.m.He went upstairs and found her asleep.Then he went to his study, poured himself half a glass of wine as usual, and turned on his phone.He was browsing casually and came across a post on Timeline.It was Marvin's post that said, "Although I don't know your name, the moment I saw you, I knew that our fate would be bonded."He attached a photo of the lake in front of the Gregory's place.Kendrick suddenly realized the reason why Annabelle was smirking.He thought, 'Annabelle and Marvin met. He didn't recognize her, so she took advantage of that and played a prank on him. She did so perhaps to get back at Marvin for being a jerk at their engagement party. Who knows? She is actually as wild as a cat with a vendetta. She has no idea that she has already attracted Marvin greatly. Marvin is very promiscuous and has n
Annabelle didn't get it. She thought, 'How come Mom hates it so much when she sees that I've restored my face? Am I not her daughter?'Annabelle felt disappointed, though she had long known how cruel Briley was.The reactions of Jocelyn Sanchez, the eldest daughter of the Sanchez family, and Myla Sanchez, the second eldest daughter of the Sanchez family, were within her expectations.They complimented Annabelle on her beauty and asked her why she had not taken off her veil all these years.Myla meant what she said. She was always an honest and straightforward person who was used to speaking and doing things straight.Jocelyn, on the contrary, was being a bit sarcastic. She was in fact mocking Annabelle for being pretentious.Annabelle felt uncomfortable being stared at. She explained her situation briefly."I've long restored my face. I wore the veil, only because I was used to it. That's it."She didn't want to say anything anymore, and she wanted them to stop staring at her.Kendric
Marvin was at the Grand Hotel.He was having a nice meal with his friends.When chatting, he checked his phone and happened to see Raphael's post an hour ago.He thought, "Annabelle? The bumpkin I dumped?"Due to curiosity, he clicked on the photo.Although there was only her side face in the photo, he could tell that she was indeed beautiful. She was the kind of beauty that could wear one down bit by bit, and she was different from any woman he had ever met.In short, she was as quiet and peaceful as a brook in a mountain.He suddenly realized something. She was the girl he fell in love with at first glance that day.He thought, "Seriously? The one that I'm so attracted to is Annabelle, the one I dumped?"I hit on her that day. Now that I think about it, I feel so embarrassed."I bet she is mocking me deep down."The point is, the one I have a crush on becomes my sister-in-law in an instant."And I'm the one who leads to this result."I feel terrible.""I have no appetite anymore. I'
That afternoon, Kendrick took Annabelle home and then went to work as usual.Annabelle spent the entire afternoon making ointment for him. When she had all the ointment separated and packed, she was so exhausted that she fell asleep on the sofa.In a daze, she felt strong arms wrap around her.When she opened her eyes, she saw Kendrick holding her and placing her gently on the soft bed."You're awake?"His voice was husky, he smelled of alcohol, and his tie was slightly pulled open, making him look kind of lazy and sexy.Annabelle recognized at once that it wasn't her room.She sat up quickly and moved back, her back against the head of the bed."What do you want to do?"Seeing her pale, wary face, Kendrick narrowed his eyes and thought that she was so ungrateful.A few minutes earlier, he saw that she was asleep on the sofa like a poor kitten, so he carried her into the room to rest.Her door was closed, whereas his room door was open. He couldn't open the door with her in his arms,
Kendrick turned the tap on full blast and took a shower for half an hour before barely managing to cool himself down.Before he came out of the bathroom, he texted Trey."Trey, come stay with me for a few days. Come here now. If Mrs. Gregory asks you, tell her that Grandpa didn't believe that she and I were really married, so he asked you to supervise us to have babies."Trey was stunned. He thought, "Is Mr. Gregory saying that Mrs. Gregory doesn't want to bear his kids?"Kendrick grew up around Trey, and they were like a family. Therefore, Trey knew Kendrick well.While analyzing, Trey realized something serious. He wondered whether Kendrick had slept with Annabelle or not."Mr. Gregory, if I may ask, do you and Ms. Sanchez sleep in separate rooms?"Kendrick was speechless, figuring that Trey was so smart."Why do you think I want you to be here? Remember, come here quietly and take the guest bedroom on the first floor. Do not make a sound.""I see, Mr. Gregory."Trey looked serious
"Don't go out just yet." Kendrick's lustful eyes were mixed with a bit of embarrassment.Trey hadn't arrived yet, so he didn't dare to let Annabelle out. If she found out he was lying, it would be too embarrassing for him."If you want to be treated, go to the living room," Annabelle said coldly.Yet he refused to move aside. Annabelle didn't want to push him, as she wanted no physical contact with him, and she blushed due to anger."Move!"Kendrick was kind of upset at the moment.He knew he had just lost his cool, but he was also upset that Annabelle was so angry.The most important thing for him now was to come up with an excuse to stop her from walking outside the room."Don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you again. It's just that Trey doesn't know about my illness, and if he sees you applying ointment to me, he'll ask me, and I don't know how to explain it to him."Frowning, Annabelle looked at him, wondering if he was telling the truth.Seeing her hesitation, Kendrick said
The butler was taken aback. It turned out that Sir Murphy had been so enthusiastic towards Mrs. Gregory earlier because he wanted to invite her to be a spokesperson."It's probably not very appropriate. She is the young lady of the Gregory family, how could she easily show up, especially as the brand ambassador for the Murphy Group."Simon nodded silently, "But I feel like only she is suitable."After leaving the Murphy's residence, Annabelle was in a good mood.Kendrick didn't bother her, and he also didn't expect Gauge's father to be so kind and enthusiastic.Especially when leaving, she even said that she could come and visit often in the future, making her feel like she suddenly gained an additional biological family.She opened the car window, letting a gentle breeze from outside blow in. She also thought about what Kendrick had said earlier, that he would be moving over here next week. This made her feel even more excited.But t
Kendrick voluntarily put an end to the annoying "paper revision" topic that had been bothering him, and then expressed gratitude to Gauge for his previous help, before deciding to leave.However, before he could even get up, Simon asked Annabelle several questions.Kendrick couldn't leave immediately, so he calmly listened to how his wife would respond.As Annabelle answered, she pondered how Gauge's father suddenly became interested in her affairs.Just because she was his son's friend?Her fingers were almost numb from Kendrick's pinching.This guy was jealous. He saw Gauge's father caring for her as if he cared for his future daughter-in-law. When they went out for a while, would Kendrick take matters into his own hands and punish her on the spot?So Simon asked enthusiastically, and Annabelle answered nervously.In my free time, I would read books and practice playing the piano.I didn't dislike traveling, but I pref
Kendrick came to the Murphy's residence today to personally thank Gauge, as it was indeed thanks to Gauge that day.Secondly, it was also to let Simon know that Annabelle was his wife.Simon, being conservative and straightforward by nature, absolutely did not want his son to have too much intimate contact with Mrs. Gregory. Even if Gauge had any crooked intentions towards Annabelle in the future, as long as Simon was there to keep him in check, he would not dare to act recklessly.But why did he feel like Simon also liked Annabelle? Could it be that he was trying to help his son snatch her away?Thinking about this, Kendrick felt a wave of annoyance in his heart.However, he immediately dismissed this absurd speculation. Simon was definitely not a person without discretion. Sending an antique vase and inviting Annabelle as a guest was probably also a way to establish a closer relationship with the Gregory family.Annabelle was really surpri
The car stopped outside the Murphy's residence, and after Annabelle got out, she went to the front gate with Kendrick.Kendrick rang the doorbell, and soon a man in his fifties came out to open the door."Good morning, Mr. Gregory and Mrs. Gregory! I am Kim Reid, the butler of the Murphy family. Sir is currently on a phone call in the living room, so I apologize for not being able to personally greet you. Please follow me."Annabelle was a little surprised and glanced at Kendrick.She thought she would come today just to meet Gauge, say thank you, and then go back. She didn't expect to also have a meeting with Gauge's father. Is it going to be this formal?Kendrick noticed her confusion and leaned in closer to her, whispering, "By the way, let's talk business."Annabelle nodded and didn't ask any more questions, following the butler into the house.Under the guidance of the butler, the two of them walked through the entrance hall and
Annabelle had completely lost her temper. When faced with a rascal, if you couldn't be even more rascally than him, you could only admit defeat.The two of them had breakfast and went out together. Kendrick was driving the car, and Annabelle was sitting in the passenger seat."Don't you have to go to the hospital for an infusion today?"Annabelle noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes and his complexion wasn't very good. She estimated that he hadn't slept well on the sofa last night, and combined with the fact that he had been poisoned before, she couldn't help but worry about him a little."No need, you promptly took me to the hospital and it didn't cause any serious damage.""So you have to thank Gauge."If it weren't for someone driving Kendrick over at three o'clock in the morning, the situation wouldn't have been so optimistic.Kendrick glanced at her and smiled, "Isn't this just to personally come and say thank you?"
Kendrick's kiss was oppressive, suffocating, and completely passive for Annabelle.Soon, she felt herself severely lacking oxygen, feeling dizzy and her body starting to weaken.And it seems like Kendrick hasn't stopped yet.She had to pat Kendrick's back.Kendrick caught her restless little hand and lifted it above her head, pressing it onto the bed, and continued kissing her.Annabelle couldn't bear it anymore and let out a painful whimper.Kendrick then raised his head slightly and whispered, "This is the price that makes me jealous, remember?"Annabelle pouted her mouth, feeling wronged and on the verge of tears.She felt like the fish on the chopping board, Kendrick could chop and eat her however he pleased."Remembered."Annabelle was scared of this guy and didn't dare to be tough anymore. She had to soften her tone and asked him.Kendrick finally gave in to the little woman and lay down on his side,
Annabelle glanced at the screen and, to her surprise, it was a photo of her and Fabian returning to the apartment together!"Who sent it to you?"Seeing her nervous, Kendrick subtly raised the corners of his lips.I didn't expect that Jax took this photo, and it had this purpose."Anonymously, in order to extort me, they said that if I don't give them money, they will expose this photo, and tomorrow the whole Elfhedge will know that I have been cheated by you."Annabelle's mouth twitched.She didn't expect this consequence."Did you give the money?""Of course I gave it, otherwise, once this news is exposed, not only will I be mocked by others, but the outside world will also speculate that our relationship is breaking down and we are on the verge of divorce. The collaboration between the Sanchez family and the Gregory family will also not last long, which will definitely have a big impact on the Sanchez family and also affect
Annabelle was shocked and whispered to Kendrick, "How did you get in? Get out quickly!""I didn't."Kendrick spoke, then he flipped over and firmly pressed Annabelle onto the bed.Annabelle was wearing a little nightgown, and she was pressed tightly against him, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed."Aren't you afraid that I will shout? Fabian is right next door, and he is very good at fighting."Her whispered threat sounded like a joke to Kendrick.He laughed and said, "I could beat him, you know. And I know you wouldn't dare to call for help, right?"In the dimness, cunning lights flickered in Kendrick's deep eyes.Annabelle bit her lip and could only glare angrily at this scoundrel.She really didn't want to wake Fabian up.What would Fabian think if he saw her hugging Kendrick like that?She had previously said that she wanted to divorce Kendrick and promised not to fall in love with him, but she sudden
Kendrick ignored Fabian and turned to her, saying, "Anna, are you going back or not?"Annabelle was taken aback, "No, I won't go back."Fabian said that he would take her to his studio tomorrow. She thought it would be more convenient for both of them to leave from here tomorrow.Furthermore, Annabelle was still a little upset with Kendrick.Kendrick nodded, "Alright, then I won't go back either."After speaking, he immediately sat back on the sofa."But there's no place for you to stay," Annabelle said. Did he still want to share a room with her?Kendrick looked around and saw that the room was a two-bedroom, two-living room layout.That was her and Fabian, each having their own room, and her so-called husband naturally couldn't stay in her room."It's okay, I slept on the couch."Annabelle was speechless and finally managed to squeeze out a few words, "... Whatever."After saying that, she turned around a
