I wish it were you Chapter 737 Not Afraid She'll Get Jealous?
Kendrick remained silent for a moment before continuing, "Whatever the reason, you don't need to worry. I'll make sure you return to the country safely. Once you're back, no one will know what happened to you."His tone was as calm as ever, as though nothing had changed between them. It was as if he, Ariana, Scott, and Seamus were still the close friends they once were.Ariana forced a bitter smile. "Kendrick, why do you still care about me?"She shifted her gaze to Annabelle. "Seeing me like this, shouldn't you be pleased?"Annabelle pursed her lips, remaining silent. She knew this conversation was between Kendrick and Ariana, and she had no intention of getting involved.Kendrick answered, "If you had truly given up on yourself, I wouldn't interfere. But you clearly haven't. I want to help you because we were once friends.""Friends," Ariana repeated, her voice hollow as she let out a dry laugh."Do you know? Lisa targeted Annabelle again and again because I encouraged her. I helped

Ariana pursed her lips tightly, her wide eyes filled with confusion.Annabelle's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t help but glance at Kendrick.Kendrick said, "When it comes to matters of principle, Anna will never let her emotions take over. Even if she hates you to the core, she wouldn't stop me from bringing you back to the country. She wouldn’t assume that saving you means I have any romantic feelings for you. That’s one of the reasons I love Anna."To be honest, hearing Kendrick say that made Annabelle feel incredibly touched.But she couldn't deny that there was a slight twinge of jealousy — especially considering how much money he was willing to spend to bring Ariana back.It did feel like Kendrick was being overly generous toward Ariana. Yet that thought only lingered for a mere 0.1 seconds.Annabelle understood perfectly well that Kendrick’s kindness toward Ariana had nothing to do with romance.He was willing to spend so much money simply because it didn’t matter to him
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-12I wish it were you Chapter 739 There's No Place Like Home
When did the mistakes begin? Ariana asked herself.It seemed like it all started the first time she scarred a girl’s face out of jealousy — simply because the girl was prettier than her.That was also when she learned that no matter what she did, her parents would always use money to clean up her messes.Now, having finally escaped from that nightmare, Ariana knew her retribution was likely far from over.But after everything she had gone through, being able to walk freely alongside Kendrick — even if just for a little while — felt like a kind of satisfaction.Even though she knew the person beside him would never be her.The next day, Kendrick and Annabelle boarded a plane back to Elfhedge.Jax stayed behind to help Ariana with her exit procedures and would return a few days later.Ariana hadn’t spoken much about her grievances with Cael.Annabelle was puzzled by it, but she didn’t dwell on it for long.There were plenty of other things that deserved her attention, and people who mat

Cael had once pursued Miranda, frequently sending her flowers at the university lab. It was during these visits that he crossed paths with Kendrick, which explained why Kendrick found him somewhat familiar.After Miranda’s disappearance, Cael and her parents never gave up searching for her.Eventually, they managed to track down her whereabouts, only to learn that Miranda had passed away six months earlier.She had suffered unimaginable torment and humiliation in the brothel where she had been sold. In the end, her frail body succumbed to a severe illness, and she died without receiving proper medical care.Devastated, Miranda’s parents managed to track down the trafficker who had sold their daughter. They pressed charges, sending him to prison. Following the trail further, they uncovered evidence that Miranda had been assaulted. The gang of thugs responsible were also apprehended and imprisoned.The case seemed closed.But Miranda’s parents and Cael both knew that the trafficker and

"I'm not protecting her. I simply want her to face a fair trial," Kendrick said, pausing as he extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray."Cael, everything that happened back then should end here. You've already done so much for Miranda. Leave the rest to the police — don't pursue meaningless revenge any further."Cael's eyes burned with the fire of vengeance. "And if I refuse?"Kendrick fell silent for a few seconds before responding, "Then I'll have no choice but to use my own means to make you accept my decision."Annabelle glanced at Kendrick, thinking how domineering and unreasonable he could be.While she agreed with his approach, she couldn’t deny that his words sounded awfully tyrannical.Even Coco, her fluffy white cat, seemed displeased, flicking its tail and swatting Kendrick's leg twice."Hiss—" Kendrick winced, then flicked Coco lightly on the forehead. "I see. Grandpa's spoiled you rotten."Then, turning back to Cael, he asked, "Have you made up your mind?"Cael’s tense

The woman lit a slender cigarette, taking a long drag before glancing toward the support pillar behind her.A man in black clothing and a black face mask leaned against it."Miss Pope, it's her, right?""Yes. Memorize her face. Wait for my instructions.""Understood."The man left the pillar and stepped into the nearby SUV.Ada took another puff, then stubbed the cigarette out viciously beneath her heel, grinding it into the pavement.Ever since returning from the Maldives, Ada’s luck had taken a sharp turn for the worse.Willie had dumped her in favor of a new company model, using her behavior on the cruise — particularly her deliberate attempts to humiliate Annabelle — as the excuse. He claimed she had a problematic character.Character issues? Please. Ada had done plenty of similar things before without consequence. The real reason was clear: Willie feared that offending Annabelle might provoke Kendrick’s retaliation.To make matters worse, her old scandalous photos from her early

Julissa briefly imagined what it would be like — getting involved with Scott, starting an office romance?Her heart thumped nervously at the thought.But she quickly shook her head, realizing that if she really became his woman, she might just end up as unpaid labor, without even the prospect of overtime pay. After all, capitalists were bloodsuckers, and Scott didn’t seem inclined to treat her any differently. Why else would he deduct half her salary just because she skipped work once?Thinking about that still made her wince.As for how she’d respond to Scott, Julissa had yet to decide.Sure, every time she saw him, her heart raced.But his status made her hesitate.They came from completely different worlds. She feared that even if they got married, their vastly different backgrounds would lead to constant clashes — from their families to their social circles.And what scared her the most was the thought of throwing herself wholeheartedly into the relationship, only for it to end in

After Annabelle finished paying for the perfume, Julissa followed her curiously.Seeing that Anna had bought two bottles, Julissa asked with a grin, “Is there a discount for buying two?”Anna chuckled. “One’s for you. I thought you’d like it.”Julissa often treated her to meals without letting her pay. Even though they were close friends, Anna still felt a bit guilty about it. Buying a little gift like this was her way of showing her appreciation.Julissa happily sniffed the scent from the test strip, her eyes lighting up. “You know me so well! Mwah!”She puckered her lips playfully and leaned toward Anna, pretending to give her a kiss. Anna laughed and dodged.“Hey, don’t pull this stunt in front of Kendrick, okay?”“Would he even get jealous over that?”Anna nodded seriously. “You never know.”“Well, let him be jealous then. With you on my side, he wouldn’t dare do anything to me!” Julissa grinned, linking her arm with Anna’s.Anna smirked mischievously. “Of course, he can’t touch y

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
