Chapter 61 Men's Possessiveness
Last Updated:
2024-12-19 18:00:16Trey noticed that Kendrick had returned and sensed that something was off between the young master and Mrs. Gregory. So, after a brief greeting, he smartly left.
There were only Annabelle and Kendrick left in the room.
Annabelle returned to the kitchen, with her eyes lowered, and continued to ladle the soup out of the pot, as if she hadn't heard Kendrick's question just now.
Kendrick came to her side, grabbed Annabelle's hand as she was pouring soup, gently turned her body, and lifted her chin.
Now Annabelle had to look into his eyes.
"Who have you cooked soup for?"
With a mixture of jest and seriousness in his tone, he unexpectedly made Annabelle feel a sense of inexplicable guilt.
She had indeed cooked soup for another person in the past, but let's not dwell on that for now. As of the present, she and Kendrick are not truly married, so why does he need to interrogate her like this?
"No one."
Annabelle avo

Annabelle became puzzled and carefully checked the pulse twice more, but the results remained the same as before.The pulse has clearly improved, why did I still have a headache at night?Could it be that she made a wrong judgment?"Do you have any other symptoms?""It was pretty much the same as before."Mr. Gregory looked serious and could tell lies without changing his expression or heartbeat."Aren't you deceiving me?" Annabelle raised an eyebrow.Kendrick laughed, "Trick you, what's in it for me?"Well, if he lied about being sick, it would mean that he still had to undergo acupuncture, continue taking medication, and the two of them couldn't get divorced quickly either.Annabelle thought, Kendrick really didn't need to tell this lie... right?"Maybe you have been working too hard recently. I will adjust the herbal prescription for you and you should pay more attention to rest."When she said these wor

Annabelle's mouth twitched as she decided to take a private plane in order to save on airfare.Mr. Gregory, who was unaware of the hardships of the world, pondered for a while, just wondering about this.Is it about being willful when you have money, or are people foolish when they have a lot of money?"Mr. Gregory, did you forget to calculate the fuel cost?"Kendrick leaned in slightly, getting closer to her ear, and chuckled softly, "Just hoping that you could occasionally take advantage of me, your wealthy husband."You should know that his private plane alone cost tens of millions of dollars annually just for maintenance.And his wife, still lamented over not being able to buy cheap plane tickets, which greatly frustrated Kendrick.Annabelle stared at the man in front of her, and the ambiguous "husband" made her feel a little dazed.They seemed like a real couple."Thank you for your kindness, but no need," Annabelle

Lydia went upstairs and looked into Kendrick's room.At that time, the room was open, indicating that Annabelle was obviously not inside.In other words, they did sleep in separate rooms, the couple indeed!The matter of dividing the rooms was something she heard Marvin casually mention after he got drunk in the past. Today, she came personally to see what exactly was going on.At that moment, she confirmed this by helping her son, and her heart was filled with joy.Presumably, the marriage between the two was merely a formality, and Kendrick's constant rivalry with Marvin was not because he genuinely liked Annabelle, but simply because he wanted to undermine Marvin.In that case, as a mother, she had to do something to help her son win back his wife.In fact, since Annabelle had already become Kendrick's wife, Lydia no longer lamented for this girl and did not support Marvin in pursuing her.Did my younger brother marry his si

Annabelle walked into the bedroom, first passing through a short hallway adorned with expensive paintings.Before meeting Marvin in person, I smelled a strong scent of alcohol, which was completely different from the fresh mountain air outside.Stepping on the soft light brown carpet, Annabelle saw Marvin half leaning on the edge of the bed, sitting on the floor.He faced the floor-to-ceiling window, with his back to Annabelle, holding a half-empty bottle of canned beer in his hand. There were also more empty beer cans beside him. His gray shirt was wrinkled, and his once fresh hair was messy and greasy."Go out!"He emitted a hoarse growl.Annabelle paused for a moment and then continued walking forward."I said for you to go out!"Marvin angrily turned around and picked up an empty beer can next to him, ready to throw it towards Annabelle.But when he saw that the person coming was Annabelle, his actions seemed to free

"Anna, we..." Marvin hesitated, finding it difficult to continue.In that game, he lost. Losing meant he had to voluntarily withdraw and could no longer pursue Annabelle.And whenever Marvin thought about that competition, he still couldn't let it go."That day in the race, I could have beaten Kendrick if I didn't let off the gas. He wouldn't have dared to overtake me recklessly. But with you in the car, I was still afraid of any potential risks. Forget it, let's not talk about it."So that's how it was, Annabelle sighed inwardly, Kendrick was indeed a cunning old fox.At that time, they must have grasped Marvin's mentality, which ultimately led to their victory in the competition.However, any competition is not just about skills, but also about mental strength. Annabelle understands this principle as well.She snatched the beer from Marvin's hand and frowned, "With your current state, you still want to compete with Kendrick? I doubt

Seeing Marvin's humble attitude and his illness, Annabelle sighed inwardly and decided to temporarily let him off the hook and refrain from saying harsh words."Let's talk after you have recovered your health."After saying that, she walked out of the room.After receiving this reply, Marvin was stunned for two seconds, then he fell onto the bed and started to laugh happily, while tightly holding the prescription that Annabelle had just given him, pressing it against his chest.It seemed as if this way, one could experience Annabelle's love to the fullest.However, when Annabelle arrived downstairs, she realized that Lydia had already left, leaving only a note that said, "Anna, my friend had a heart attack, so I had to leave. I'll come back to pick you up before it gets dark, once everything is confirmed to be okay."Annabelle walked to the window and looked outside, feeling frustrated.Lush trees and winding mountain roads, she relie

Hearing footsteps behind her, Annabelle instinctively turned her head and saw Marvin standing behind her, only wearing a towel. She couldn't help but exclaim, "What are you doing!"Like a bucket of cold water being poured over him, Marvin instantly woke up.Annabelle was not one of those casual women, and his impression of her was not very good either. If he continued to behave frivolously, he would probably never have a chance to win her back in the future.Looking embarrassed, not knowing what to say, the doorbell rang."It might be my mom coming back, I'll go and open the door," Marvin pointed to the entrance.Walking towards the porch, I berated myself silently, wondering why my mother was so good at choosing the wrong timing!Why did you come back in such heavy rain?However, when he opened the door, he saw Kendrick standing outside in a black cloak, with a gloomy expression on his face, and his hair and clothes were slightly wet

Annabelle pursed her lips and ultimately did not respond to Marvin, only lowering her head.She had no doubt that if Kendrick heard her answer "okay" or something similar, he would take immediate action against her."He left."After speaking coldly, Kendrick took off his windbreaker and covered it over her head.Then he stretched out his arm and firmly embraced her in his arms, and the two of them walked into the rain together, heading towards the car.Watching the beloved girl being taken away again by Kendrick, Marvin's face was even gloomier than the rainy day. Besides unwillingness, his heart was filled with nothing but unwillingness.He applied a little force with his fingers and broke the cigarette.From childhood to adulthood, Kendrick was always overshadowed by a huge shadow looming over his head. No matter what he did, he was constantly compared to his older brother. He grew extremely tired of this and became unwilling to ret

Annabelle had fallen asleep on the desk.Kendrick walked over, just about to tease her—So this is how Anna helps lighten my workload?But as he lowered his head, he noticed the notes she had written on paper.It was her analysis of the reports—well-organized and clear. She hadn’t had the chance to compile them into a digital format before sleepiness took over.The last line was scrawled slightly crookedly, unintentionally adorable.Kendrick gently picked her up in his arms. Annabelle groggily opened her eyes and mumbled, “I just need to finish up the last part…”“I saw it. You did a great job. Get some rest—I’ll wake you when it’s time for lunch.”“Okay…” she murmured before drifting back to sleep.Kendrick knew she hadn’t gotten much sleep the night before.Just yesterday, she had gone hiking, gotten poisoned, and then… well, he had kept her up even longer that night. No wonder she was exhausted now.He was feeling a little drained himself, so he lay beside her for about ten minutes,

Annabelle hesitated for a moment but continued speaking.She proposed another solution: inviting financially capable friends to purchase multiple units as an investment. Of course, they would need to be given significant discounts to ensure that they actually profited in the future—otherwise, it would just be exploiting friendships, which wouldn’t be right.Once these purchases were made, the sales team could spread the word. Ordinary buyers tended to follow trends—if they saw wealthy investors buying in, they would assume the property’s value was bound to increase. This would encourage more people to purchase units.However, this method didn’t seem entirely aboveboard, and it involved selling at a loss to generate hype. That’s why Anna felt it should be used cautiously.Kendrick listened attentively and nodded seriously. “Anna makes a good point.”“Hey, Kendrick!”Annabelle had a feeling that whenever this man praised her with such a serious expression, he was secretly thinking she w

Annabelle had a poor appetite and didn’t finish her bowl of dumplings, leaving half behind. But Kendrick ate the rest without hesitation.After breakfast, Anna didn’t say she was leaving, and Kendrick didn’t ask.He handed her a couple of magazines she might find interesting and then went about his business.Of course, he could tell—she didn’t want to leave. So, he let her be.After all, the little woman sat there quietly, not disturbing him in the slightest. On the contrary, her presence made him even more motivated to work.After some time, he glanced at her again and found that the magazine on her lap had remained open on the same page. She hadn’t turned it for a long time, lost in thought, her expression troubled.Was she worrying about him?Kendrick chuckled softly. Having a young girl worry about his business—was this a sign of his failure, or his good fortune?In reality, he had already survived the darkest times and had a chance to rise again.The only reason he remained so te

"The Madam is here!"Jaime was even more excited than her own husband when he saw Annabelle suddenly appear.Annabelle smiled and greeted him, "Hi, Jaime, long time no see."Jaime wanted to chat more, but one glance at his boss's expression made him realize he might have been too enthusiastic. Quickly sensing the situation, he made an excuse about having work to do and slipped out of the office.Annabelle had originally wanted to tell them to go ahead with their work and that she could wait to have breakfast together once they were done. But before she could say a word, Jaime had already made his escape.Kendrick stepped in front of her and lightly tapped her nose. "Weren't you exhausted last night? How come you're up so early?"Annabelle instantly knew he was trying to tease her with some suggestive remarks again. She shot him a glare and ignored the bait."Maybe I’ve just slept too much these past few days. Have you had breakfast yet?""Haven't had the chance. Did you come all the w

After chatting for a while longer, Annabelle soon couldn’t keep her eyes open. She lay against Kendrick’s chest, her breathing turning slow and even.Kendrick gently cradled her, carefully placing her head on the pillow and tucking her in before reaching for his phone.He sent a message to Jaime, letting him know that he wouldn’t be returning to the office tonight. He would be there early in the morning and advised Jaime to pause his work for the night, get some proper rest, and be ready to discuss projects the next day.After that, Kendrick lay down beside Anna and got a solid three hours of sleep. At exactly 4 AM, he woke up naturally—no alarm needed.With the company’s affairs weighing on his mind, sleeping in simply wasn’t an option.Moving quietly, he kissed Anna’s forehead before slipping out of bed and getting dressed.Just as he was leaving the bedroom, Coco, the little night owl of a cat, sauntered in, completely ignoring him. The fluffy creature leapt onto the bed, curled up

Hearing the rare, flattering way Annabelle explained things to him, Kendrick decided to let go of the whole “older man” thing.Then, he turned the conversation back to the video she recorded.Kendrick admitted that he hadn’t had time to deal with that real estate project lately, but her discovery was incredibly useful. He planned to send people to investigate and gather evidence the next day, then bring in media reporters to create buzz. This should help restore the Gregory Group’s reputation.Once consumer trust was rebuilt, sales for the second and third phases of the development should improve.After explaining his plan, he couldn’t resist kissing the little woman. “Thanks for your hard work, wifey.”Annabelle’s lips curled up happily. As long as she could help him, all the trouble tonight was worth it.“Now, tell me,” Kendrick adjusted his posture, looking into her eyes. “Why were you gone for so many days?”Annabelle carefully explained that when the young master rescued her, she

Kendrick’s fingers froze. He lowered his gaze to the little woman lying on his chest.“You two went where?”Did he hear that right?Otherwise, why would she and Gauge go to a short-term rental?Annabelle lifted her head and glanced at him. His expression was sour, filled with disbelief. It made her want to laugh, but she held back.“You really don’t trust me that much?”Kendrick let out a cold snort and pulled her tighter into his embrace. “It’s not you I don’t trust—it’s Gauge.”That kid might not seem like a schemer, but when a man is in front of the woman he likes, he can grow bad intentions out of nowhere.Who knew if Gauge would try to trick Anna into something…Seeing his face darken, Annabelle quickly said, “Don’t get worked up yet. I have something to show you.”She sat up, glanced around, and realized she had no clothes nearby. So, she grabbed Kendrick’s shirt from the floor and slipped it on before looking for her phone.Earlier, he had kissed her all the way into the bedroo
I wish it were you Chapter 813 Has He Ever Been Polite?
Annabelle was well aware that the man on top of her was feeling a mix of heartache and jealousy. She could sense the turmoil within him, the way his emotions were a tangled web of pain and possessiveness. Or perhaps, it was more than just jealousy—he was hurt. While he had been carrying an immense burden and fighting alone, she had been out enjoying a spring outing with another man.Putting herself in his shoes, Annabelle felt a wave of guilt wash over her. And yet, despite everything, he still couldn't bear to blame her. He said he understood everything and was willing to trust her. His words were a balm to her soul, but they also made her feel even more for Kendrick. The depth of his understanding and trust only deepened her feelings for him.She needed to explain things clearly. She had lost track of time over the past few days, which was why she hadn't realized all that he had been going through. And as for the young master, there were no romantic feelings between them.“It’s not

Annabelle stopped crying and stared at him blankly. “Why don’t you ask me why I didn’t call you afterward?” Kendrick cupped her face and kissed away her tears. “I wanted to ask, but the moment I saw you cry, my heart shattered. All I wanted was to hold you.” Her cheeks were still stained with tears, but upon hearing his words, she pressed her lips together and smiled. “Fool.” Kendrick gently pinched the tip of her nose. There were a thousand words left unspoken. The days of anxiety and torment disappeared the moment he saw her. Right now, Kendrick didn’t want to say anything. He just wanted to look at her. To make sure he wasn’t dreaming. To confirm that she was truly here. “Oh, I heard about the company. I was really worried about you.” Anna spoke with a nasal tone, her eyes filled with concern. Kendrick smiled at her. “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.” She pursed her lips again. “I can explain why I didn’t contact you these past few days.” Kendrick realized he didn’t bla
