I wish it were you Chapter 656 A Heavy Topic
For days, an unease had lingered in Annabelle’s heart—the assassin who kept targeting Kendrick. That *Mr. Whitney* was like a ticking time bomb buried beneath their seemingly peaceful lives. They had no idea when he would strike again, bringing the next “explosion.” **“What are you thinking about?”** Kendrick asked. Annabelle turned to look at him. **“That Mr. Whitney… Have you figured out who he really is?”** Kendrick’s eyes darkened as he shifted his gaze back to the road ahead. **“Yes.”** Annabelle’s eyes widened. **“Who is he? Do you know why he wants to kill you?”** Kendrick fell silent for a moment. He knew Anna didn’t follow the news and was unaware of how powerful Ryan from the Chu Group truly was. Should he tell her now? Should he tell her that *Mr. Whitney*—Ryan—wasn’t just the CEO of the Chu Group, the company currently locked in a fierce market battle with the Gregory Group? Should he tell her that Ryan was also the *young master* she once trusted and was deepl

Wrapped in a thick down jacket, Annabelle sat in the car driven by Jax, feeling both the dread of the winter sea and the nerves of her first-ever film shoot. Thinking about today’s filming made her uneasy. According to the script, she had to wear a thin wedding dress and jump into the freezing ocean in the middle of winter. And she wouldn’t be allowed to come out immediately—there were also underwater scenes to be shot. Could the waters near Elfhedge really produce the crystal-clear effect the script required? She let out a long sigh. Why had she been so stubborn about changing the script? Clearly, playing smart didn’t suit her—every little *trick* she had pulled ended up backfiring on herself. *T＿T* She glanced at her phone, debating whether to message Kendrick, but in the end, she put it away. It should be nighttime where he was. Kendrick had left the day before on a sudden business trip—something even he hadn’t expected. Before leaving, he had kissed her cheek and told h

Annabelle was first surprised, then quickly realized—this was exactly the kind of thing Kendrick would do. At the same time, she couldn’t help but complain inwardly. That guy! He actually kept this a secret from her, making her think she’d have to film in the freezing waters of Elfhedge. She had worried for *days* over nothing. And really, if the production was already planning to shoot at a warm southern beach, why did he have to go *this* far? Whether she was annoyed that he kept it from her or upset that he was being so extravagant, deep down, all she felt was warmth. Ever since being with Kendrick, her entire life had been arranged perfectly. She didn’t have to worry about anything—he always planned ahead for her, considering every little detail. Because of that, she had grown more and more dependent on him, to the point where she was starting to lose her independence. But Annabelle also understood—her past resilience and self-sufficiency hadn’t come from an inherent love

The group was set to take a seaplane to their final destination—a small island. As they got closer, excitement among the crew grew. Most of them, aside from the director, cinematographer, and the the Murphy Group’s accompanying staff, were regular workers. Their jobs were demanding. Shooting a commercial was manageable since it had a short production cycle, but working on a film or TV series meant being on set for months—sometimes half a year or more. Even if they had money, they rarely had the time to take a vacation. So, getting a free trip to the Maldives? That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was no surprise they were thrilled—and naturally, their attitude toward Annabelle had warmed up significantly. Of course, that hadn’t always been the case. At the script meeting, she had been shy and unfamiliar with the team, and they hadn’t been particularly friendly either. Everyone knew she had requested script changes, and people tended to resist change. They thought she

“I missed you, so I flew over.”Kendrick smiled as he wrapped his arm around Anna’s waist, leaning in for a kiss.Annabelle dodged slightly, making his lips land on the corner of her mouth instead.“Are you mad?” he asked.“Jax is still here,” she whispered, her face instantly turning red.Kendrick glanced over at Jax.The man was standing not too far away, very tactfully admiring the sky, the sea, the sand—basically everything except looking in their direction.Satisfied, Kendrick captured Anna’s lips in a proper kiss, though he didn’t linger too long.Even if Jax wasn’t watching, her colleagues were also sneaking glances.It wasn’t that he minded showing affection in public.He just didn’t want other men to see her blushing.“Tired?”Annabelle shook her head, feeling a little embarrassed. “I slept the whole way.”“When does filming start?”Her excitement was obvious as she replied, “The director said the weather will be great tomorrow morning, so we can start shooting then!”Her exp

After dinner, Director William urgently gathered everyone for a meeting at a small restaurant next to his residence.The place was quiet, making it a suitable spot for discussions.Kendrick and Jax accompanied Annabelle to the meeting. However, once it started, they sat off to the side, keeping a low profile as outsiders.With a heavy expression, Director William announced, “Julian got into a car accident on his way to the airport. It’s nothing serious, but he won’t be able to participate in the shoot.”A heavy silence filled the room.What now?Everyone was asking the same question.Without a male lead, there was no way to proceed with the commercial, no matter how they revised the shoot.After all the effort to get here, would they really have to pack up and go home tomorrow? That didn’t seem like an option.People exchanged glances, trying to come up with solutions. Some started suggesting male actors they knew, hoping Director William could reach out to them.Unlike a movie, an ad

Malina took a deep breath but didn’t answer Director William. His expression was extremely unpleasant.Annabelle could tell—he really didn’t want to play the male lead.She imagined what it would be like acting alongside this proud, perfectionist designer.This guy had a nasty temper and was completely self-centered. He wouldn’t be as easygoing as Julian.And she had to gaze deeply into his eyes with affection?Ugh. Just picturing it felt awkward. Impossible.After a moment, Malina finally spoke.“I won’t do it either. I can’t act, and I have zero chemistry with Annabelle. Instead of making me the lead, why not get Gauge?”The moment those words left his mouth, Annabelle blinked rapidly.Gauge as the male lead?Perfect. Absolutely perfect!They were good friends, often played music together, and had great chemistry. More importantly, he was one of her own!Little did she know, sitting across the room, Kendrick nearly jumped up at the mention of Gauge.Gauge? No way. I’ll do it!Fortun

Annabelle felt frustrated.How was she supposed to coax him now?The real issue was, no matter how she comforted him, he would never allow her to film a kiss scene with another man—even if it was just an illusion created through camera angles.He wouldn’t even be able to tolerate seeing that kind of scene.Her original plan was to keep Kendrick from watching the final scene and only let him know after everything was filmed.But now, things had gotten complicated...Meanwhile, Jax followed Kendrick out of the restaurant.Kendrick stopped in his tracks and said, “I’m going back to the villa first. You stay behind and make sure Anna gets home safely.”“Understood, Boss.”Kendrick took two steps forward, then suddenly turned back.“If Anna asks whether I’m mad, tell her yes. Very mad.”Jax’s face darkened.So Boss was making him the messenger just to emphasize how angry he was?Clearly, he wasn’t really that upset.He was probably just feeling a little jealous and needed some comforting.

I wish it were you Chapter 840 Better Safe Than Sorry
Scott had already made his selection. He picked up two boxes, placed them into the shopping cart, and then walked toward her.Julissa's lips twitched slightly.Hadn't Mr. Nichols just said at home that there was no rush, that it was fine to take things slow? So why was he now picking out condoms… and taking two boxes at that?Her heart started racing again as her mind wandered to certain unspeakable thoughts. She quickly shook her head, trying to clear away the chaotic images.Scott was already standing in front of her, his expression as calm as ever. He even took the items she had just picked out from her hands and placed them into the cart.“Are we about done with the shopping?”Julissa nodded and silently followed him for a couple of steps before hesitating. She reached out and stopped the shopping cart, causing them both to halt in place.“What is it?” Scott asked.“This… isn’t really necessary, is it?”Her palms were sweating. She pinched the box lightly between her fingers, as i
I wish it were you Chapter 839 Already Thought About How Many Kids We'd Have
Being held so tightly by him, Julissa felt flustered. She mumbled, “How can you just say ‘not going hungry’? That’s just the basic survival standard! We need to eat well…”"We," Scott repeated her words, a teasing smile playing at the corners of his lips as he leaned in closer. “So, you’ve thought about living with me?”Julissa blinked at the man so close to her.Inside her mind, a voice was screaming.His voice, his gaze, that dangerously handsome face—it was all shaking her already weak resolve.She wanted to tell him: Not only have I thought about living with you, I’ve even thought about how many kids we’d have…Beep—The fridge let out a loud warning sound, alerting them that the door had been open for too long.The noise snapped Julissa back to her senses. She quickly slipped out of Scott’s arms, shut the fridge door, and felt her face burning.“You… go wait outside. It’ll be ready soon.” She didn’t even dare to look up at him as she spoke.Scott stepped out of the kitchen as she

Scott straightened up, and Julissa, still feeling anxious, sat up as well."Are you… mad?" she asked hesitantly.Scott glanced at her.He wasn’t angry, but he did look disappointed—heartbroken, even.That look made Julissa feel so guilty that she almost wanted to take back her words and let him continue what he was doing…She tugged at his sleeve. "Mr. Nichols, can you give me a little more time?"Scott gently stroked her cheek, his gaze filled with tenderness."Maybe you still don’t believe we’ll last, but that’s okay. I’ll slowly make you believe."His words stunned Julissa for a few seconds.Then, she opened her arms, wrapped them around his neck, and threw herself into his embrace.There was nothing more touching than the promise of a future together.And nothing more considerate than the phrase take your time.Scott’s hand stroked her back, and Julissa felt an overwhelming sense of comfort and security in his arms.He smelled fresh and clean, and right now, he was her boyfriend—s
I wish it were you Chapter 837 Don’t Want It?
Although Julissa's mother liked Scott as a person, she still found it hard to believe that such a high-status man would genuinely date Julissa.It felt unrealistic and unstable.Their family wasn’t rich or powerful, and they weren’t the kind of people who would eagerly throw their daughter at a wealthy man just because of his status.In fact, the better Scott’s conditions seemed, the more cautious they became.On this, both Father and Julissa's mother were in full agreement: their precious daughter must be given to someone who sincerely cherished her—someone truly outstanding and driven.Money and status were just illusions. Scott needed further observation.Even though Julissa's mother wasn’t particularly old-fashioned, she still worried that her daughter might suffer losses in certain aspects, which was why she kept reminding her.Hearing this, Julissa immediately covered her face.“Mom! What are you even thinking…? We haven’t! And we won’t do that kind of thing!”Julissa's mother s
I wish it were you Chapter 836 Mr. Gregory Needs Some Self-Discipline
Over the years, Kendrick had grown accustomed to living under constant threats. Apart from Ryan, many others wanted him dead.If he lived in fear every day, he wouldn’t have needed an assassin to kill him—he would have scared himself to death long ago.“Go handle your work.”“Yes, Boss.”After Jax left, Kendrick fell into deep thought.It made sense that Ryan would try to assassinate him to fight for Anna.But what puzzled him the most was that Ryan had started planning these assassinations before Anna married him.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out what grudge existed between them that made Ryan so determined to eliminate him.This mystery had been bothering him for a long time. And solving it might be the key to ending their deadly feud.—Meanwhile, Annabelle was enduring the “devil training” of Teacher Maria.It was tough and painful, but she never once considered giving up.No matter how much it hurt, as long as she wasn’t dead, she would keep training. No room f
I wish it were you Chapter 835 Be Careful Not to Overdo It
Annabelle shot Kendrick a glare.Not only had he just implied that Marvin was idle and carefree, but he had also mocked him for being single.Mr. Gregory, that was too harsh.Marvin, however, merely smiled. “Since my dear brother needs it so much, you should have it. Just be careful not to overdo it—too much of a good thing can be harmful.”With that, he released his chopsticks.Annabelle sighed inwardly.Seems like this one isn’t exactly kind-hearted either.Feeling the need to clear things up, she decided to speak on Kendrick’s behalf.She didn’t want people thinking she was like those imperial concubines who supposedly drained their emperors with excessive indulgence.Besides, Kendrick was not weak…She said earnestly, “I only made this for him because he’s been working so hard lately. I can’t help him with anything else, but at least I can take care of his nutrition. Don’t worry—his health is just fine.”Kendrick smiled and picked up the sea cucumber, chewing it slowly.Good, he t
I wish it were you Chapter 834 Strengthening the Body
Marvin took a bite of the food and remarked, “Anna, your cooking is really good.” Annabelle smiled. “I’m actually not very skilled at cooking.” “It’s already very impressive,” Marvin praised sincerely. She glanced at Kendrick and noticed that the sly fox was still smiling, though it was obvious that he was extremely displeased. Well, whose fault is that? You were the one who started talking unnecessarily, Annabelle thought, feeling no sympathy for him. The meal continued in silence. Though everything seemed peaceful, Annabelle felt a little awkward. Looking at Marvin—her ex-fiancé. Then at Kendrick—her current husband. And these two just happened to be brothers. It wasn’t just outsiders who would find their situation intriguing; even those involved couldn’t help but marvel at fate’s sense of humor. Despite their hidden agendas, the two men were sitting down for a meal together. She really didn’t understand the way men’s minds worked. Instead of dwelling on it, she focused
I wish it were you Chapter 833 Eating Together
When their eyes met, both Annabelle and Marvin were momentarily stunned.Marvin then stepped closer and glanced at the lunch bag in her hand. “Bringing food for Kendrick?”Since their last meeting in the Maldives, they hadn’t seen each other again.Marvin had heard that she had left for a while and later returned.He had wanted to check in on her but was afraid of bothering her, leaving him conflicted for days.Now, having run into her by chance, his heart felt a small surge of joy.Annabelle smiled at him and nodded. “Are you working from here today?”“Mm.”Marvin stared at her, lost in thought.He liked the way she spoke to him so calmly, but at the same time, he felt a hint of sadness.Is it because she neither dislikes nor likes me that she can greet me so indifferently?He even suspected that she spoke to the company’s security guards with the same level of warmth.Suppressing the tinge of disappointment in his heart, Marvin said, “I need to see him too. Let’s go up together.”Wi
I wish it were you Chapter 832 Unable to Get Out of Bed
The three senior executives—all men—exchanged glances upon hearing the woman's cry from the president’s private lounge.A woman's voice… coming from the president’s resting area!Who else could it be? It must be the little wife their president cherished so dearly.“Give me a moment,” Kendrick said as he stood up.The three executives immediately responded, “Of course, President, take your time. We’re in no hurry.”As Kendrick entered the lounge, the three men outside kept their expressions neutral, but their ears were perked up, listening intently.Inside, Kendrick asked, “What’s wrong?”A pitiful voice replied, “My legs hurt even more now…”He continued, “Can you get out of bed?”The little woman whined, “Not really… I need a moment…”Outside, the three men exchanged looks—one shaking his head, another stifling a laugh, and the third feeling oddly sentimental.President, you’re too much… You’ve completely worn her out to the point she can’t even get out of bed!Must be nice to have t
