Julissa didn’t quite catch the implication of that "again."

She thought Scott had simply seen through the crush she once had on him.

But more importantly—how could he say such flirtatious things so casually, without even blinking?!

"Mr. Nichols, don’t you feel embarrassed saying things like that?"

He smirked lightly, amusement flashing in his eyes. "If you’re not embarrassed, why should I be?"

Julissa tilted her head, grinning mischievously as she leaned in closer. "So… does that mean I can flirt with you however I want?"

Scott flicked her forehead, shaking his head helplessly. "Julissa, I really should record you right now."

Just then, the car arrived. Scott helped her inside, and they both sat in the back seat.

The driver asked, "Mr. Nichols, to the office or…?"

Scott originally planned to return to the office, but after glancing at Julissa—who had instantly fallen asleep the moment she leaned against the window—he sighed.

"Take us home."

He was the one who got her drunk, so he had

    After finishing in the bathroom, Julissa wobbled over to the pristine sink.Through the mirror, she took in her surroundings again—still the same high-end black, white, and gray aesthetic.The faucet, free of even a single water stain, gleamed with a cold metallic sheen. The marble countertop, with its rippling stone patterns, looked just as chilly.Julissa couldn't help but complain, "The designer of this hotel must be emotionally detached."Then, her eyes landed on a white ceramic tray on the counter. Several white and brown bottles sat neatly arranged on it.Probably just some basic skincare products, she guessed.Curious, she picked one up and squinted at the label—a jumble of blurry letters, not a single recognizable word.Looks expensive…She made a mental note to try them out when she took a bath later.Right now, though, she was too lazy even to wash her hands. She just wanted to sleep.She set the bottle back down, but her drunken clumsiness betrayed her—she knocked over the

    Julissa flashed a mischievous smile. "Mr. Nichols, taking advantage of you in a dream won’t get my salary docked, right? lol…"Scott’s lips curled up slightly. "You can try and see."Julissa was a woman of action. If she thought about it, she would do it.She hooked her arms around Scott’s neck, tiptoed, and pressed her lips directly against his.His lips were slightly cool, his scent crisp and refreshing—like the air after a snowfall.Most importantly, the sensation felt too real.This dream was so wonderfully vivid that she couldn’t help but close her eyes and savor it.Scott watched her up close, even noticing the slight tremble of her long lashes.After so many days, he was finally kissing her again.The taste of this kiss… was almost identical to that night.Yet, at the same time, it was different.Because this time, Julissa knew who she was kissing.This foolish girl actually thought she was dreaming, so she was acting recklessly.But did that mean… deep inside, she harbored fee

    Julissa seriously considered it for a moment.If this really was a dream, she would probably forget everything when she woke up, so there’d be no awkwardness in facing him later.And wasn’t the whole point of dreams to let people experience things they couldn’t do in reality?She dazedly nodded.Scott chuckled. "Do you like me that much?"Julissa grinned cheekily. Who doesn’t like a handsome guy?"Of course! And if you don’t dock my salary, I’ll like you even more!"That simple sentence lit up the deep, brooding darkness in Scott’s eyes.He chose to believe that she meant it—that it wasn’t just drunken nonsense."Alright, I won’t dock your salary."Glancing at the bedside clock, he withdrew his hand from her waist."Wait for me. Don’t fall asleep."Julissa’s face flushed red. She didn’t know whether to nod or shake her head.She thought to herself, But I’m already asleep. Shouldn’t you be saying ‘don’t wake up’ instead?Still, feeling too embarrassed to correct him, she kept quiet.Sc

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 607 Falling into Cael’s Hands

    One hour ago, inside the hotel banquet hall.Ariana and Cael approached Annabelle, raising their glasses to her.Kendrick had just stepped out of the banquet hall to take an important call, leaving Annabelle alone for the moment.She stood up, accepted the drink handed to her by the waiter, and took a sip without much thought. After exchanging a few polite words with Ariana, she downed the drink.However, shortly after drinking it, she realized something was wrong.Her face felt hot, her breathing became short and feverish, and when she caught her reflection in the glass window beside her, she saw her own hazy eyes and flushed, alluring expression.This wasn’t the first time she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, but this time, the effect was overwhelming. It was as if ants were crawling through her veins, an unbearable itch spreading deep inside her body, making it nearly impossible to maintain control.She could feel her willpower crumbling under the drug’s influence. If a man tr

    As soon as she entered the elevator, Annabelle immediately reached for the emergency alarm button.Cael effortlessly caught her hand, smiling. "Ms. Sanchez, you'd better not make a scene. Be good and listen to me—I won’t hurt you."Annabelle loathed his touch. Even though her body felt weak and powerless, she still managed to yank her hand away."Cael, if you dare lay a finger on me, Kendrick will never let you go."He glanced at her and chuckled."To be honest, you are quite my type. But I know what happens when you offend Kendrick—I’m not that stupid."He paused briefly, then added with a sinister smirk, "Besides, this is my engagement party. Do you think I’d ruin it? I truly want to marry Ariana."For some reason, Annabelle found his smile extremely unsettling.Especially when he said "truly want to marry Ariana." A chill ran down her spine.It felt like there was something far more insidious lurking beneath his frivolous exterior—something devious, something dangerous.But that wa

    After Cael left, Annabelle rushed to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and started filling the bathtub with cold water.This method was crude but effective.At the same time, she planned to call Kendrick.When she took out her phone, she first noticed a message from Julissa, sent using Scott’s phone.Unfortunately, it was too late for that. If she had only checked her phone earlier, she might have been able to avoid drinking that glass of wine. But now, all she could do was try to find a way to ease the burning desire within her.Annabelle switched to Kendrick’s chat window, but her trembling fingers failed to hold onto the phone.The phone slipped from her grasp and fell into the bathtub.Water seeped into the phone, rendering it useless.Frustrated and annoyed, Annabelle set the phone aside. She couldn’t even wait for the bathtub to fill completely before stepping in, barefoot.The icy water engulfed her body, bringing some relief, but it couldn’t extinguish the deep craving insid

    His expression was cold, and his sharp gaze swept over Cael and Ariana.Ariana’s heart skipped a beat.Why is Brother Kendrick looking at us like that? Did he suspect something?She glanced at Cael, but he remained completely at ease. He even patted her hand discreetly, as if reassuring her to stay calm.He was right. If Brother Kendrick had truly sensed that Annabelle was in danger, he would have rushed to find her immediately—there was no way he’d still be standing here.So, she had to stay composed and act naturally.“Brother Kendrick, I’ve been looking for you to toast you, but I couldn’t find you anywhere.”She smiled sweetly, picking up a glass of champagne laced with drugs from a passing waiter’s tray and offering it to Kendrick.Kendrick accepted the glass but didn’t drink immediately.“Have you seen Anna? I’ve been calling her, but I can’t get through.”Ariana stiffened slightly, gripping Cael’s arm tighter.She glanced at Cael again, but as expected, he remained composed, ev

    Today, Jax had been secretly protecting them. There were also Kendrick’s men stationed in the surveillance room.The moment someone drugged Anna, Jax noticed. He contacted the surveillance team, tracked her movements, confirmed her safety, and immediately reported to Kendrick.The call Kendrick had just received was from Jax.He already knew Cael had taken Anna upstairs. He also knew that—for now—she was safe.But Cael was clearly involved in this, and yet, he hadn’t made any aggressive moves. Instead, he had voluntarily brought him upstairs.Kendrick wanted to know—who drugged Anna? What was the ultimate goal?And most importantly—what was Cael really up to?Cael paused briefly before curving his lips into a smirk. “She was probably given some kind of aphrodisiac. You should hurry, Mr. Gregory—she might not be able to hold on much longer.”Kendrick’s gaze sharpened. &

    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

    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

    “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

    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

    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

    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
