I wish it were you Chapter 682 Don’t Bite My Neck
The designer secretly admired her and occasionally discussed with those around him, saying, "This girl is good, much better than the models the company currently has. Most print models today have the same face, the same expressions, the same aura—lacking individuality. But Ms. Sanchez is different. She’s so natural that looking at her photos makes people want to know more about her. Most importantly, she understands that she’s showcasing the clothes, not herself. Every movement she makes directs attention to the garments rather than herself, with nothing excessive or unnecessary. In short, taking a simple photo actually requires intelligence to do it well. If Mr. Crooks could sign her, sales would definitely reach another level!" Nearby, Ada, with her sharp ears, secretly listened in, her teeth grinding in frustration. She understood these principles too! She could take photos like that as well! Otherwise, would she have made it as a top-tier model for nothing? Right now, she j

Annabelle’s makeup had smudged a little, so she went to find the makeup artist for a quick touch-up. Maybe because she had just been moving around, her complexion looked especially radiant. The makeup artist smiled and said, “Honestly, with your natural beauty, you don’t even need makeup.” Annabelle glanced at herself in the mirror and blushed. Once her makeup was fixed, she stepped onto the deck, dressed in a white mermaid-style wedding gown, holding a bouquet in her hands. Even though it wasn’t a real wedding, getting to wear such a beautiful dress still made her happy. Gauge was already waiting for her, dressed in a crisp and elegant suit. As she approached him, she teased, “Once this commercial airs, you’re going to gain even more fangirls.” Gauge smiled back at her, though his emotions were more complicated than they seemed. Just moments ago, when he saw her walking toward him in that wedding dress, he had felt a fleeting illusion—one where he wished this was real. How w

Annabelle couldn't help but marvel—this guy was too good at acting. There wasn’t even the slightest trace of pretense; it was as if… he was truly expressing his emotions.This felt even more natural than when she had acted alongside Julian.Gradually, she immersed herself in the scene, shedding all ties to reality and fully embracing her character.Today, he was her groom.From this moment on, he would always be by her side.Their lives would be intertwined, sharing joy and sorrow, fortune and hardship…A deep sense of reverence for marriage stirred within Annabelle’s heart.As she looked at the man before her, it was as if Gauge had disappeared, and in his place stood Kendrick.With that thought, her gaze softened with love and joy.He, too, looked at her with immense affection. Slowly, they were drawn toward each other, an invisible force pulling them closer.Gauge’s lips were just about to brush against hers…But at that critical moment, the director’s voice rang out: “Cut!”Both o

According to the script, the second scene revolved around the heroine, played by Anna, who had been cursed. Her body transformed into a mermaid, and in the end, she leaped into the ocean.To avoid frequent touch-ups, the jump itself would be filmed separately from the rest of the sequence.However, Anna's performance in this scene wasn’t quite right.After shooting eight or nine takes, most people thought it was already good enough, but the director remained unsatisfied.Annabelle was now truly experiencing the director’s strict standards, and she was beginning to feel lost.His feedback was that while her expression of panic was on point, there was still something lacking in the emotions.He announced a ten-minute break, giving her time to reset and find the right feeling.Gauge wanted to help, but he knew she needed to work through it on her own. So after handing her a bottle of water, he simply stayed beside her in silence.Annabelle sat on a white chair, staring out at the vast oc

Kendrick’s expression darkened.The thought of how the director had failed to coordinate properly earlier—making his little woman wait idly all morning—still made his blood boil.And now, after stopping the shoot over and over again, the man kept saying her performance was “lacking something” without even explaining what exactly was missing. No wonder she was on the verge of a breakdown.Sure, striving for perfection was fine, but this was too much.Most of all, it made Kendrick’s heart ache for her.Annabelle hesitated before asking weakly, “…Can we really just ignore him?”“I told him to take another break.”She knew Kendrick had the authority to make that call, but they couldn’t just keep delaying forever.As if reading her thoughts, Kendrick said, “It’s fine even if you don’t shoot today. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself.”Annabelle sighed. That was easy for him to say. If she didn’t shoot today, she’d have to do it tomorrow—and what if she still couldn’t find the right feel

**“Of course, I’d be worried!”** Even though Annabelle had never been a mother, just imagining such a situation made her heart ache. **“And what about me? Could you bear to leave me behind?”** Kendrick’s voice was right by her ear, his tone unusually persistent. Imagining a future where she had no choice but to part with him, a deep sorrow welled up in Annabelle’s heart. In this entire world, the only person she had such an intimate bond with was Kendrick. Though they hadn’t been together for long, they had already endured so much—so many trials, yet he had never once let go of her hand. Sometimes, he was like a friend. Sometimes, an older brother. Other times, a teacher. And, in the most precious moments, her closest lover… If she were to leave him forever—one of them on land, the other in the sea—then no matter how enchanting the ocean was, it would be nothing but a vast, lonely abyss. **“Is it really that hard to answer?”** Kendrick asked, sounding a little hurt. **“Would

Kendrick smirked. “If I couldn’t even notice that, then all those nights we’ve slept together would’ve been for nothing.”“……”Here he goes again!Glancing down from the cruise ship, Kendrick suddenly changed the subject. “Are you really sure about jumping from this height later?”Annabelle replied confidently, “I’ve jumped from even higher places before. I’ll just treat it like a diving practice.”Seeing her so sure of herself, Kendrick had no choice but to set aside his worries.“Alright, I should get going now.” Having figured out the issue with her performance, Annabelle didn’t want to delay any further. The sooner they finished filming, the better.“Wait.” Kendrick grabbed her again and pulled her into his arms. “Are you absolutely sure there’s no baby in there?”“There isn’t!”Both the test strips and blood tests had come back negative. Plus, she had been feeling lower back soreness—her usual sign before her period—so there was no way she was pregnant. If she had been, she would

Annabelle quickly turned on the lights, threw on a jacket, and rushed to open the door for Jax.As he stepped inside, he deliberately left the door open to avoid any misunderstandings. The cold, salty scent of rain drifted into the room, sending a chill through Annabelle.She took a quick glance at Jax and noticed that his hair was slightly damp. His expression was unusually serious, lips pressed into a tight line, as if something was making him tense.Had he been outside on the deck or the outer corridor instead of in his cabin?Was he also worried about Kendrick?“Have a seat.”Calming her thoughts, Annabelle led Jax to the living room.Jax sat down on the sofa. “Madam, are you afraid of the thunder?”Annabelle nodded, then shook her head. She went straight to the point. “Why isn’t Kendrick back yet? Do you know what’s going on with him?”“Madam, don’t worry. The Boss will be fine.”“Then why do you look so tense?”Annabelle wasn’t naïve. If Kendrick was truly safe, Jax wouldn’t be

I wish it were you Chapter 940 Desire Fades
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
I wish it were you Chapter 938 You Must Leave
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
I wish it were you Chapter 936 Who Is She?
“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
I wish it were you Chapter 934 Hopelessly in Love
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
I wish it were you Chapter 933 Mr. Gregory Is So Wronged
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
I wish it were you Chapter 932 I Believe in Love Again
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
