I wish it were you Chapter 703 The Missing Madam
Annabelle narrowed her eyes, seizing the perfect opportunity to land an even louder flick on Gauge’s forehead.Then, without missing a beat, she turned and bolted.Gauge was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected her to be so playful. After a brief pause, he began chasing after her.She wasn’t fast, and if he wanted to catch up, it would be effortless.But he didn’t want to.There was something about this moment that felt perfect. If it were up to him, he would be content to follow her like this forever, remaining just close enough that she’d find him the moment she turned around.Yet Annabelle felt entirely different.The thrill of almost getting caught — but not quite — made her nerves tingle. She was so tense that she didn’t dare slow down, her legs carrying her frantically across the sand.Unfortunately, in her rush, she paid no attention to where she was stepping.“Ah!”A sharp pain shot through her foot. She stumbled and fell onto the soft sand with a startled cry.Meanwhile,

Kendrick’s temples throbbed violently.He told himself to stay calm. There had to be a reasonable explanation for this — otherwise, Annabelle would never let another man carry her like that.So, with forced composure, he watched as the two approached.But as they walked, they seemed to be chatting casually. Under the glow of the lights, Kendrick could clearly see the smile lingering on Gauge’s face.If Annabelle was truly unwell, there was no way Gauge would be smiling like that.Kendrick took two deep breaths, trying to suppress the storm brewing inside him. He reminded himself — stay calm, trust her.It didn’t work.Jealousy surged through him, setting his blood on fire. The rage burned so intensely that even the wounds on his body threatened to reopen.So this was why she didn't want him to come?To sneak off for a little date with that guy?Meanwhile, Annabelle, still unaware of the storm brewing inside Kendrick, was squirming with guilt.“You should really put me down. I can walk

Annabelle couldn’t understand it.Kendrick knew exactly what kind of person Ada was, so why was he even acknowledging her?She also knew he wasn't the type to entertain people like Willie. Yet there he was, walking away with both of them.And the worst part? He had clearly seen her, but he didn’t come over.A sourness surged through Annabelle’s chest, mixed with a wave of frustration. She had rarely felt this way before.Gauge followed her gaze, observing Kendrick. Then, without a word, he grasped her wrist gently, half-supporting her as they walked forward.She didn’t protest, but her mind was in turmoil. Her eyes remained fixated on Kendrick, watching as he joined the group around the bonfire.The atmosphere grew livelier in an instant.A man like Kendrick, admired and unattainable in the eyes of many, was like the sun — distant, dazzling, and impossible to reach. Yet here he was, sitting casually on the sand, mingling with the crowd.Naturally, he became the center of attention.Th
Last Updated : 2025-04-11I wish it were you Chapter 706 Don't Even Think About Getting in Bed Tonight
The little model's excitement was contagious, and soon the other girls were cheering along.Most of them were secretly hoping to draw Kendrick or Gauge as their dance partner. They didn’t dare dream of sparking any real chemistry, but just dancing with such strikingly handsome men would be a win.Watching their eagerness, Annabelle felt her frustration bubble. She wanted to shout on Kendrick’s behalf, “Sorry, ladies, not interested.”But before she could say a word, Kendrick’s deep, magnetic voice rang out."Sure," he said.The low, sultry tone was impossible to resist. The girls erupted into delighted squeals and cheers.Annabelle froze for a moment, the corners of her mouth twitching.Fine. Very well. Kendrick, you can forget about getting in my bed tonight!She couldn’t figure out why he even wanted to join the game. Regardless, she had already decided — she was not speaking to him for the rest of the night.The short-haired model, brimming with excitement, turned to Gauge with a b
Last Updated : 2025-04-11I wish it were you Chapter 707 Which Wire Got Crossed?
Most of the women hoped to dance with Gauge or Kendrick. Of course, some models were eyeing the opportunity to cozy up to the director, hoping a little charm might score them a future acting gig.In short, despite the simplicity of the game, everyone had their own motives.As the girls drew their slips and read the names aloud, many tried to sound excited, even though Annabelle could tell their enthusiasm wasn’t entirely genuine. The odds weren’t in their favor, and most didn't end up with the partner they had hoped for.Still, out of basic politeness, they accepted their dance partners with forced smiles. No one wanted to be that person who showed disappointment or disdain — that would just be poor manners.That said, some of the more self-important models made no effort to hide their discontent. After the obligatory handshake and pleasantries, they immediately let their faces drop, visibly annoyed to be paired with mere crew members.Watching this unfold, Annabelle inwardly scoffed.

Every girl who opened a slip of paper carried Annabelle’s anxious heart along with them.She had thought she didn’t care, but when the moment came, she realized she truly didn’t want Kendrick dancing with any other woman—especially not those young models from Willie Company!But then another thought crossed her mind. This game was something Mr. Gregory had willingly participated in, and he seemed to be enjoying himself. Maybe he actually wanted to dance with someone else?With that in mind, Annabelle haughtily turned her head away, refusing to watch any more of the girls drawing their lots.Yet, from the excited screams, she knew—someone had drawn Kendrick’s name.She cast a casual glance over and saw a young girl with her hair tied in a bun. She was from the Murphy production team, part of the costume and props department.Annabelle remembered her—her name was Ellie, a fresh graduate from a prestigious university in China, majoring in fashion design. Now, she was interning as a costu
Last Updated : 2025-04-11I wish it were you Chapter 709 Wanting to Go to Him
Kendrick was reaching the limit of his patience—he could hardly resist the urge to scoop up his little rabbit and take her home right now.But since he had already agreed to play this game, leaving abruptly wouldn’t just be unsportsmanlike—it would be downright rude.Fine. He’d let his little rabbit play around a bit longer. He wanted to see just how long it would take before she finally remembered that he was still a patient and maybe—just maybe—gave him a little attention.Though Kendrick’s expression remained blank, Jaime Vazquez, standing beside him, could feel the icy chill radiating from him.The cold air around them was practically biting.Jaime Vazquez silently complained in his heart. This wasn’t Ms. Sanchez’s fault—it was all because Mr. Gregory was being stubborn.If he had just walked over earlier when Mr. Murphy carried her on his back and taken her away, brought her home, and asked her properly what had happened, none of this would be an issue.But no—he had to make thin
Last Updated : 2025-04-11I wish it were you Chapter 710 Another Side of Kendrick
Annabelle and Gauge were in the third group, so they still had to wait.Watching Kendrick step into the center with another girl, Annabelle pursed her lips unhappily, lowered her head, and simply decided not to watch.Gauge glanced at her and sighed. “If you didn’t want him to dance with someone else, you shouldn’t have acted so generous earlier.”Annabelle didn’t respond. She just lowered her head and played with the sand, her mind buzzing—maybe from the strong sea breeze.Just as Malina was about to play the music, Kendrick’s voice rang out.In a calm tone with a hint of apology, he explained to the crowd that he had accidentally cut himself while surfing two days ago, and since the wound hadn’t fully healed, it wouldn’t be suitable for him to engage in intense movement. Fortunately, his partner, Ellie, was skilled in solo dance, so he proposed that instead of dancing, he would play the accompaniment for her performance.Annabelle lifted her head, her eyes shining as she looked over

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
I wish it were you Chapter 937 Hallucination
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
