I wish it were you Chapter 648 It Really Wasn’t On Purpose
If she chose to terminate it, Kendrick would never agree. And even she wasn’t sure if she could go through with it.But if she kept it… it would become a permanent bond between them.Her work would have to be postponed, and she wouldn’t even be able to finish school.Was this Kendrick’s plan all along? To use a child to keep her from taking the endorsement?The thought made Annabelle furious.“Kendrick, how could you do this?”Caught off guard by the accusation, Mr. Gu looked utterly bewildered. “Do what?”“You’re trying to tie me down with a child, aren’t you?”She turned around and glared at him through the lingering steam.Kendrick let out a sigh. “You really think so poorly of me, huh?”“Can you honestly say you didn’t do it on purpose?”For once, Kendrick actually looked a little guilty. His voice was low and hoarse as he admitted, “At first, it really wasn’t intentional… but later, you didn’t say anything, so I thought you had agreed…”Annabelle’s face instantly turned red. “I—

The next morning, Annabelle woke up with Kendrick and made him a quick sandwich for breakfast.But she didn’t eat anything herself.Kendrick frowned. “Why aren’t you eating?”“I don’t have an appetite right now. I’ll eat later,” she replied.He didn’t press further, but just as he was about to leave, he noticed her putting on her coat and shoes as well.“You’re heading out?”Her expression was serious. “Mm. I’ll hitch a ride with you to the pharmacy.”Concern flashed in his eyes as he reached out to touch her forehead. “Are you feeling unwell?”Annabelle blushed and swatted his hand away.Kendrick instantly understood.A sly grin appeared on his face as he grabbed a scarf and wrapped it around her neck.“Let’s go.”—Kendrick pulled up in front of the pharmacy.Before getting out, Annabelle turned back and reminded him, “Drive safely.”But when she returned, she found his car still parked in the same spot.“You’re still here?” she asked, surprised.“Get in.”Confused but not arguing,

Kendrick had already done his research on Malina, Murphy Jewelry’s newly hired chief designer.Not only was Malina striking in appearance, but he was also exceptionally talented. His designs had repeatedly won international awards, earning him widespread recognition.But along with his talent came a streak of arrogance.Though his little wife wasn’t someone who could be easily bullied, and most employees here would likely be cautious given her status as the Madam of the Gregory Group, she still lacked experience in the workplace.And a man like Malina—someone who was used to doing things his own way—was unlikely to show her any special treatment just because she was someone’s wife.That was what made Kendrick uneasy.He worried that, as a newcomer, she might end up being underestimated or mistreated.So, he had arrived at Murphy Jewelry ahead of time—watching from the shadows.Not that he had anything urgent to do today anyway.Besides, once she was done, he could take her to a well-r

Annabelle glanced at Malina with indifference. Was this man really that arrogant? His words carried an unmistakable sense of superiority, laced with arrogance and prejudice. But she didn’t bother to argue. She knew exactly who she was—she wasn’t a mere decorative figure, nor had she joined **Murphy Jewelry** just to showcase **Malina’s** designs. So, she simply chose not to respond to the arrogant man. Simon, standing between them, let out an awkward laugh. Clearing his throat, he said to **Annabelle**, “Malina is very straightforward. He’s not like me—an old businessman used to sugarcoating things. I hope you two can get along well.” Annabelle smiled calmly. “Don’t worry, Uncle Simon.” She understood that **Malina’s** tone might come off as arrogant, and **Simon** was merely concerned about potential friction. But since she had agreed to join **Murphy Jewelry**, she would abide by the professional contract. How could she possibly act out over a designer’s one-sided remark?

The man’s gaze seemed stuck on Anna, unable to pull away.Wasn’t Malina supposed to be arrogant? Why didn’t he seem arrogant at all? Instead, he appeared particularly attentive to Anna.Logically, Kendrick should be happy that someone appreciated Anna, but he couldn’t help feeling sour about it.Still, he couldn’t react too strongly. Anna had always been displeased with his jealousy, so he had to restrain himself. As long as that man didn’t cross the line, Kendrick would stay put.Just as he was thinking this, he saw Anna say something to Malina. Malina frowned slightly, then walked over, bending down a little to look at the document in her hands.One hand rested on the back of her chair, while the other casually slipped into his pocket as he leisurely explained something to her.Was it really necessary to be this close just to read a document? It almost looked like he was holding Anna in his arms!Kendrick couldn’t sit still any longer.Just as he stood up, ready to walk over, he saw

Malina willingly stepped aside, letting Annabelle take his seat at the computer.She began typing out her ideas in a document.Scene One: On a grand cruise ship, a lavish wedding is taking place. Suddenly, the bride leaps into the sea and transforms into a mermaid.The groom, without hesitation, dives in after her. Just before she loses her ability to speak, the bride utters a single sentence:"Take my tears and come find me in ten years. If you still love me, the curse will be lifted."A teardrop falls from the bride’s eye—deep blue, shimmering—and lands in the groom’s palm, transforming into a sapphire.Scene Two: The groom brings the sapphire ashore and entrusts it to a jewelry designer (the background of the designer's studio will feature the Lin Jewelry logo). The sapphire is eventually crafted into a necklace—a delicate golden chain suspending a teardrop-shaped blue gem, passing through a finely carved, hollow heart-shaped pendant, resembling a tear falling straight from the hea

“He’s more or less confirmed,” Malina frowned slightly. “But I’m not entirely satisfied.”Annabelle asked, “Is it someone I know?”“A top-tier A-list actor—Julian. You’ve heard of him, right?”Hearing the name, Annabelle’s eyes instantly lit up.Julian was Scott’s younger brother. And Scott was a good friend of Kendrick. From what Kendrick had told her, he and Julian had a decent relationship.That meant Julian could be considered one of their own.As for the scene she was most worried about—the kiss that might make Kendrick jealous—she could simply ask Julian to use camera tricks to make it appear real. He would surely cooperate and not cross any boundaries.Kendrick should be able to relax now, right?Plus, she could invite Julissa, that little fangirl, to visit the set. She had always adored Julian, and this would be the perfect opportunity for her to take a photo with her "Julian-gege" and get to know him better.With all these thoughts in mind, Annabelle felt much more at ease.“

Kendrick played it cool, explaining, “Didn’t I tell you earlier? I was nearby.”Annabelle immediately sensed something off in his words. Could it be that he had been in Lin’s Group all along, secretly watching her?That definitely sounded like something he would do.At that moment, Simon, who was sitting behind his executive desk, asked, “So, Anna, how was your talk with Malina?”Annabelle replied that everything had gone smoothly. She had adjusted the script slightly, and Malina would report the details to him later.Simon nodded with a smile. Checking the time, he noted that it was already noon. Since she was done for the day, he advised her to head home early and rest well—once the commercial shoot began, those days would be exhausting. He had a lunch appointment and wouldn’t be able to join her and Kendrick.Annabelle hadn’t expected Uncle Simon to join them for lunch anyway. She exchanged a few polite words before leaving Lin’s Group with Kendrick.The Japanese restaurant Kendric

I wish it were you Chapter 980 Don’t Even Think About Leaving
Scott nodded after hearing what she said.Julissa waited for him to follow up, but he didn’t say anything more.She had no choice but to guide the conversation herself.“You don’t know who she is?”“There are so many people who like me. How could I possibly guess?”Julissa wiped an imaginary bead of sweat from her forehead—whatever, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with the narcissistic CEO. After all, if anyone had the right to be cocky, it was him.“She said her name was Mandheling.”Scott froze for a second, then looked at her.“Isn’t that a type of coffee bean?”“Ah, right…”Julissa scratched her head, thinking for a moment.“It was Heather! Yes, that’s the name!”She hadn’t really bothered to remember, because the way that woman had looked down her nose at her had left a bad taste in her mouth.And people who rubbed Julissa the wrong way—well, she didn’t waste the brain space on them.Scott nodded slightly after hearing the name.Julissa raised an eyebrow—so he did know this “Ma

“God of Food?” Scott chuckled. “That actually suits you.”“It’s not that kind of god…” Julissa waved her hand. “It’s a term from the Chinese zodiac and five elements thing—never mind, I can’t explain it well. Just go with the vibe.”Scott clearly wasn’t interested in diving into astrology. He simply gazed at her up close.“So, you’re not marrying into their family anymore, and you’re still eating their eggs. Is that appropriate?”Julissa suddenly recalled her mom’s earlier warning—sure enough, moms do know best. Her mom had predicted that Scott would be feeling a little off about it.So Julissa explained seriously:“My mom already returned the favor. She gave Mrs. Zamora some wild veggies and seafood, so the eggs are totally fair game. Besides, Mrs. Zamora is like a real aunt to me—she’s watched me grow up. Even if I’m not going to be her daughter-in-law, that relationship won’t change.”After that, she tugged on Scott’s sleeve pitifully.“Don’t overthink it, okay?”Scott stared at he
I wish it were you Chapter 978 Born to Be Pampered
Scott seemed perfectly normal—but underneath that calm surface, something was clearly off.Like how he deliberately looked away after their brief eye contact. Or how he wore a faint smile, but there wasn’t even a hint of warmth in his eyes.It was obvious he didn’t want to talk about it right now, so Julissa swallowed her unease and headed to the dining room.Soon after, Scott returned as well, freshly washed up. They had breakfast together, then changed into work attire and got ready to leave for the office.Just as they were about to head out, Mrs. Hickman called Julissa back.From the look on her face, she clearly wanted to speak to her alone. So Julissa told Scott to go down first and start the car—she’d be right behind him.Once he was gone, her mom asked, “Does Scott know about you and Liam?”“He knows… a bit.”Back when she and Liam had just broken up, she met Mr. Nichols. He had even comforted her during that time.Although thinking back now, it was likely that Scott alread
I wish it were you Chapter 977 Would You Still Love So Recklessly?
Julissa spit out the toothpaste foam and immediately walked out of the bathroom.Liam was standing at the entranceway and turned to look at her. Surprise and joy flickered in his eyes.“Julissa, you’re home.”“Mm, just for the night,” she mumbled, her words unclear due to the toothpaste in her mouth. Her gaze quickly shifted toward Scott’s bedroom door.Scott appeared soon after, dressed casually.When Liam saw him, his eyes were filled with shock—and a flicker of pain. The smile that was just starting to form vanished instantly.Scott’s expression was neutral. He gave Liam a small nod, then turned to greet Mrs. Hickman politely:“Good morning, Auntie.”Mrs. Hickman smiled and nodded back, “I’ve made breakfast. You and Julissa can eat before you go.”“Okay,” Scott said, then turned to Julissa.“Done with the bathroom?”Julissa blinked in confusion and shook her head. “Almost.”“I’ll dish out breakfast then,” he said.As he passed by the entrance, he casually asked Liam,“Have you eate
I wish it were you Chapter 976 Take It Off Before Sleeping
Julissa quickly pressed a hand against Scott’s chest—trying it on in front of him? That’d be like wrapping herself up with a bow and offering herself straight into the lion’s den!“You go back to your room right now. I’ll let you know after I try it on,” she said firmly.“What if I just turn around and face the other way?” Mr. Nichols offered half-heartedly.Julissa glared playfully. “As if I’d believe you wouldn’t sneak a peek. Go! If my parents find out, we’re both dead.”Only then did Scott reluctantly get off the bed and allow himself to be pushed out the door.After he left, Julissa closed the door and quietly changed into the lingerie he’d gifted her.It fit… perfectly.Seriously?Scott’s judgment is this accurate?Her cheeks grew warm again.No matter what, she really loved these gifts. And thank goodness she hadn’t discovered the surprise earlier in front of her parents. That would've been so awkward.But then again… if she had found it earlier, Scott probably would’ve come up
I wish it were you Chapter 975 Level of Fascination
Julissa didn’t ask too much and decided to check what else was hidden in the box first.Underneath the perfume box, there was a small paper pouch. She squeezed it—it was soft, like fabric.A scarf? Julissa thought, but quickly dismissed the idea.Scarves are one-size-fits-all, and Scott had said he wasn’t sure about the size—so it couldn’t be something like a scarf or handkerchief.Clothing, then?But what kind of clothing fits into such a tiny pouch?Julissa already had a vague suspicion. She glanced at Scott and saw, under the soft glow of the nightlight, his face was cast in a layer of shadow… filled with teasing ambiguity.His eyes, too, were unmistakably laced with desire.Her heart started beating faster, her cheeks warming. She bit her lip and opened the pouch, pulling out the contents.It was a black lace lingerie set.Her face instantly flushed red-hot.“Scott, you—how could you…”How could he give her something so intimate?But deep down… Julissa liked it.Compared to food o
I wish it were you Chapter 974 Who Says Mr. Nichols Isn’t Romantic
Julissa thought about it—after all, he had bought the dessert for her—so, although reluctant, the stingy little Julissa grudgingly handed another piece to Scott.But as she picked it up, she noticed something odd.There was something else hidden under the oil paper lining the box.The bottom of the box clearly wasn’t flat. It looked like there was a small box and some soft items tucked underneath.Julissa looked at Scott in surprise—only to see him watching her with a smile.She immediately realized it—there was something fishy about this dessert box he gave her.Carefully, she lifted the remaining pastries, wrapped them in a clean napkin, and set them aside on the nightstand. Then, she removed the layer of stiff greaseproof paper beneath them.Sure enough, underneath was a small, palm-sized box tied with a ribbon—obviously the real gift Mr. Nichols had prepared for her.Julissa instantly took out the box and excitedly untied the bow, gently opening the lid.Inside was a bottle of per
I wish it were you Chapter 973 Mr. Nichols, You’re Acting Suspicious
Scott turned around, his eyes dark and intense, and asked in a low voice,“Are you sure?”There was a teasing, ambiguous note hidden in his tone.Julissa blinked and tried to cover up her true thoughts with a clumsy excuse:“It’s just… I haven’t seen you in a few days. I wanted to talk to you…”“You’re not worried your parents might find out?”“It’s fine… the door’s shut. They won’t hear anything…” she mumbled.Scott then pulled her directly into his arms, lifted her chin, and asked with a smirk,“So, what is it Julissa wants to talk about?”At that moment, even if she did have something important to say, Julissa had completely forgotten it.“Uh…”Before she could finish, Scott already leaned in and kissed her.At first, she was tense, worried that they’d wake up her parents—but soon enough, all those thoughts faded away.By the time the kiss ended, she realized they were now both lying on her tiny bed.Julissa stared at the man in front of her.In the dim light, his eyes seemed even
I wish it were you Chapter 972 Don't Go
“I was not thinking anything like that!”Julissa hurriedly denied it, then reached up to touch her face.Whoa—hot as a little furnace.She grew even more flustered and muttered, “Anyway, you go ahead and shower. If there’s a problem…”But then she thought, even if something did go wrong while he was in there, it’s not like he could call her in for help. So she added quickly,“If there’s a problem… you’ll just have to deal with it yourself. I’m leaving now.”And with that, Julissa practically fled the bathroom.Scott couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of her flushed face.She always acted so bold and easygoing, sometimes even daring to tease him first—but now, she was completely shy and flustered.At the end of the day, she was still a kid at heart.Meanwhile, Julissa had returned to her bedroom.Lying on her bed, she couldn’t help but wonder—this wasn’t the first time they’d stayed under the same roof, so why was she acting so shy just because he was visiting her home?Though “shy”
