Chapter 74 Keep Your Hands to Yourself!
Last Updated:
2024-12-21 18:03:31Seamus and Scott were playing dice boredly on the side. As soon as they saw Annabelle coming, they both stood up and greeted her.
"Sister-in-law, you finally arrived. I said I wanted to send Kendrick back, but he wouldn't let me touch him. He insisted on waiting for you." Seamus said helplessly with a smile.
Annabelle's mouth twitched. Mr. Gregory was really quite a handful.
"Has he fallen asleep already?" Annabelle glanced at Kendrick on the sofa.
"Cough, maybe."
Seamus mumbled in response, actually Kendrick had just been playing dice with the two of them.
But as soon as Annabelle arrived, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be drunk.
Annabelle came and sat down beside him, her tone indifferent, "Kendrick?"
No response? Annabelle then patiently tapped his shoulder and said, "Kendrick, wake up, it's time to go home."
Kendrick slowly lifted his eyelids, his eyes filled with intoxication.
"Could you stan

Annabelle stared in horror, "What do you want me to do?""What do you think?" Kendrick smiled ambiguously.In Annabelle's mind, some indescribable images suddenly appeared.I didn't know what expression to make anymore. In her 22 years of life, it was the first time a man had made such a request to her. Although she didn't know exactly what he wanted her to do, it must be related to some kind of physical activity between a man and a woman.This drunkard, he went a bit too far with his antics.But after all, he was a drunkard and couldn't be reasoned with. If he got angry, and if he really forced himself on her, Annabelle felt like she wouldn't be able to escape.So, calming herself down, Annabelle said in a doctor-like tone, "Mr. Gregory, if you really can't hold it in, you can relieve yourself or... find a... woman."Although she had never seen Kendrick bring a woman home, she thought that for someone of his status, it should be quit

"I drank too much and couldn't take a shower. I wanted to take a bath. You wouldn't want me to drown in the bathtub, would you?"Thinking, I really wanted to drown you, you old fox, you scoundrel! Annabelle muttered angrily.Kendrick looked at her with her angry red face, clenched teeth, and narrowed eyes.Wow, she really wanted to drown him?"Drown me, and you are the prime suspect, murdering your own husband and dividing the property. Such scenarios have occurred too many times, and you will be in trouble when that happens.""Kendrick, you've really gone too far!"Annabelle clenched her fist and glared at Kendrick. If looks could kill, Mr. Gregory would have died a thousand times.However, the young master didn't feel anything at all. Instead, he laughed wickedly, taking it as if the young lady was praising him.Kendrick did not consult Annabelle again and instead, he sat up and placed his hand on her shoulder, pointing towar

"I was asking if you could take a shower by yourself!""Hard to say," Kendrick chuckled wickedly.After all the struggle, Annabelle had become exhausted and gave up resisting. Since her clothes were already wet, she decided to sit down on the ground with her back turned towards him."Fine, I won't leave. If you're not embarrassed, just wash like this." It saves you from actually drowning in the bathtub, and in the end, she'll have to take the blame.Mr. Gregory was not shy, and he was in a good mood. He considerately grabbed a clean towel and handed it to her, saying, "Put this under you, the marble is cold.""I thanked you," Annabelle gritted her teeth and said as she took the towel.In that moment, Annabelle really doubted that she must have owed him in her past life, otherwise why would God arrange for him to be by her side and torment her like this.Mr. Gregory succeeded and finally took a quiet bath.Actually, he didn't kn

Annabelle wanted to chase after, but she only wore a small underwear. She didn't dare to run out directly, as it was a bustling shopping mall!She had to call the salesperson and said that someone had just stolen her clothes, please go and retrieve them quickly.The salesperson became nervous when he heard this, "Is it the woman wearing black clothes and a black mask?""Yes, that's it, hurry up and go!"Afterwards, the shopping guide also hurriedly left. However, the mall was so big and crowded, so the black-clothed person twisted and turned, finally arriving at the mall's basement parking lot.She walked up to a white Porsche, pulled open the passenger door, and got into the car."Ms. Pratt, it's done.""Where are the clothes?"Gemma wore sunglasses and glanced at the person in the passenger seat.The woman raised her hand and looked at it.Gemma smirked and said, "Throw it away later, it's useless."After

The fire in the shopping mall was not serious, it only produced a large amount of thick smoke, so it was quickly brought under control in a short period of time.Annabelle, on the other hand, fainted due to excessive fright, so she went to the hospital to get her body checked. Kendrick then took her back home, as there was no problem found during the examination. Besides, even if they went back home, they had a private doctor available on call.Annabelle was settled in the bedroom when Kendrick's phone also rang, it was assistant Jaime calling."President, it has been determined that Madam's clothes were taken by Gemma's assistant, and the fire was an unforeseen incident."Kendrick's face was gloomy. It had been several hours since he brought Annabelle back, but the thought of her being alone in the fitting room still made him both scared and worried.After a brief pause, Kendrick said coldly, "Gemma, ban.""Yes."In the evening, Kend

Thinking about the person she called "young master," Kendrick's expression darkened, but it quickly disappeared.He tapped her forehead and said, "You heartless little thing, I braved thick smoke and flames to rush into the mall, almost died inside, and finally rescued you. And you have already forgotten."The smoke was real, the big fire was not, but it didn't matter anyway, because Mr. Gregory was determined to take credit at that moment.Annabelle was feeling a bit flustered at the moment because when she mentioned being trapped in the fitting room, she remembered that she was only wearing a set of underwear at that time...She quietly pulled back the covers and glanced at herself, put on a nightgown, but...She wore only a nightgown!It seemed like he guessed her thoughts, Kendrick chuckled softly, "When I took you to the hospital, I made you wear my coat. When we came back, I helped you clean the stains on your body and also changed you

"President... President, are you saying that all people called 'Young Master'?"As an assistant, Jaime had indeed helped Kendrick investigate various matters, but it was the first time he had to investigate all the "young masters" of Elfhedge, and he was completely clueless about it."Yes, find out all the people who are called young master or have names that sound similar to young master. Then investigate if any of them might know Annabelle."Although Jaime didn't know exactly what had happened, Boss's instructions were already very clear. Despite the immense difficulty, the purpose of his existence was to help Boss solve various troubles and difficulties."Yes, President, I will go and check right away."After hanging up the phone, Kendrick took another deep look at the photo taken in the morning.Annabelle nestled trustingly in his arms, not because she trusted him.He treated her as if she were another man.What was her rel

After listening, Kendrick hesitated for a moment and said, "I happen to know a classical guitar master who can come to our house and teach you."Annabelle, however, quickly shook her head and said, "No need, I want to go to school to study."Annabelle had a longing for college, where she could also attend other courses such as literature and history.Kendrick sighed in his heart, it seemed that he couldn't stop it.Actually, it would be great if she could stay and go to school. Kendrick has been worried lately, afraid that she would have nothing to do and feel lonely staying at home, constantly wanting to go out.Just his beautiful little wife, once she went to school, he could imagine how many boys coveted her.They were all around the same age as Annabelle and were also studying art, perhaps even more so than him and her, they might have had more topics to talk about.Thinking about all this, Kendrick felt very uncomfortable.

Ariana had been worried that Kendrick might suddenly back out and not attend the engagement party. After all, their relationship was no longer what it used to be, and she could feel his deliberate distance.But seeing him arrive, Ariana immediately felt at ease, silently cursing herself for being overly anxious. Brother Kendrick had always kept his word, and if he had promised to come, he would definitely show up.Moreover, their relationship hadn’t reached the point of no return. Kendrick would still attend her engagement party out of respect for their past friendship.However, something felt off. Ariana couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong with Kendrick today. His brows were furrowed, his expression cold, as though he were angry.Annabelle, walking next to him, looked equally indifferent.They were walking side by side, yet there was no hand-holding or arm-linking.Ariana, ever observant, picked up on these small

Julissa couldn’t help but wonder if Scott had also held Linda’s hand, guiding her on how to pour the water in circles just like he did with her.She stared at his face, waiting for him to respond.Scott, however, remained indifferent. "I usually have her make instant coffee or buy coffee from downstairs. If I want pour-over, I make it myself."What?Why was he so lenient with Linda, but so harsh with her, Julissa?A surge of dissatisfaction bubbled up inside her, though she didn't dare to voice it strongly."Then why did you want me to learn?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral."Sometimes I just want to be lazy," he replied, raising an eyebrow and looking at her. "You said you really like learning new things and challenging yourself, right?"Julissa: "..."At that moment, Julissa felt like Scott was deliberately toying with her.She remembered how she had been docked half her salary for being late due to

Julissa felt the pressure of his gaze, her scalp tingling as if she had been caught daydreaming in class and was suddenly called on by the teacher.She stammered, "You... you just said to put the coffee grounds on the filter paper..."Scott pressed his temple. "Did I really need to say that?"Julissa realized she had just said something pointless. She wiped the cold sweat from her brow and continued, "Then you don’t need much water at first, just wet the coffee grounds, and then... wait a moment?""That step is called blooming. Continue.""Oh, blooming... then we add water!"Scott sighed in exasperation. "The scale has a timer. Remember, the blooming time is 30 seconds."Julissa nodded quickly. "Oh, got it! Then we add water, using the pour-over kettle in a spiral motion, just like you're doing, right?""160 ml of water, add it in two stages. Once the first batch of water has fully filtered through, begin the second." He

Not long after she participated in the competition, she had the car accident, and since then, she hadn't been able to return to the stage.Julissa gazed at the painting of herself, feeling a sense of fate between her and Scott. At the same time, her heart was filled with a strong desire—she longed to be that little swan on the stage again.But she knew it was no longer possible."I remember Assistant Hickman used to dance ballet. Do you know this dancer?" Scott asked, gazing at her profile."...No," her voice was hoarse, tinged with a slight nasal tone.She didn’t want Scott to know that she was the one in the painting. If he found out, it would be terribly awkward for her. He might think it was embarrassing—how could he hang a picture of his assistant on his wall? He would probably take it down.Julissa sniffed and smiled at him. "Mr. Nichols, your time is valuable. Let's get on with the coffee brewing lesson."Righ

Julissa froze for a second. Was Scott teasing her?Sure enough, men who were usually so reserved had a hidden mischievous side.Wasn’t this a form of workplace harassment, though?She decided to play dumb—after all, Scott was her employer now, her "bread and butter.""I was just looking at that painting," she said, taking a step back and subtly pulling her arm away.Scott casually slipped his hands into his pockets, unfazed."Well then, come up and have a closer look."He started up the stairs first, and Julissa, reluctantly, followed him.As she walked behind him, heading toward his bedroom, the feeling of being “taken advantage of” intensified.He had already shown a flirtatious side before, and now it seemed like he had finally decided to make his move. Was this the moment he was going to take advantage of her?What if someone walked in and caught them? The office door wasn’t locke

Julissa was close to tears. Although half of her salary was being deducted, she still had 50,000 left, but it felt like being sliced open—it was painful."This is just inhuman..." she muttered under her breath."Even if it's for the money, you better start coming to work on time from now on!" Linda said with a smile, patting her on the shoulder. "Mr. Nichols wants some coffee, go make him a cup, and don't mess up again."Julissa quickly agreed and, after putting down her things, headed to the breakroom.Linda watched her leave, feeling helpless. The new rules that had been implemented were something Scott had come up with on the spot, and they were only directed at the executive assistant, effectively targeting Julissa for not being present.Was this really his way of pursuing a woman? Linda couldn’t help but think that Scott’s emotional intelligence was lacking.Meanwhile, Julissa took out her favorite instant coffee from

When Julissa woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the bathroom, she realized she was already in her bed.She sat up and scratched her head, feeling a bit confused.Wasn’t she in the living room earlier? How did she end up in bed?Had Scott left?She got out of bed to use the bathroom and called out toward the other room, "Mr. Nichols?"The room was pitch black, and there was no answer.She walked into the kitchen and glanced at the cupboard. The watch was gone.She checked the entryway next, and the shoes under the shoe rack were also gone.It seemed he had already left. He must have carried her to bed after she fell asleep, then left afterward.There was an inexplicable feeling of disappointment.But soon, that feeling was replaced by the sharp pang of stomach pain as she drowsily made her way to the bathroom.Afterward, she returned to bed, ready to fall back asleep. But after lyin

At that moment, the elevator arrived, and Zane stepped inside. "You should go back, it's cold in the hallway."He never looked at her once as the elevator doors closed.The cold wind from the hallway blew in, causing Julissa to shiver. She tightened her clothes and walked back home, still in a daze.She glanced once more at the cup of brown sugar water in the kitchen and frowned. There, on the counter, was a men's wristwatch!It was Scott's watch. Did he intentionally leave it there?Whether he meant to or not, Zane must have seen the watch and guessed that there was another man in her house.All of this was because of him, and now it had caused a misunderstanding between her and Doctor Carter.Doctor Carter must now think she was a huge flirt.Fuming, Julissa stormed into her bedroom, only to find Scott lying on her bed, seemingly asleep.Looking at the man on her bed, she inwardly complained. Even when asleep, he still
I wish it were you Chapter 582 Not the First Time
Julissa was instantly petrified.Any man with normal thinking would surely misunderstand if he saw his girlfriend’s male superior at her place, taking care of her period cramps, right?Mr. Nichols really had no tact…Just as she was feeling extremely anxious, the doorbell rang.Julissa froze with a jolt. The doctor was here so quickly!It had only been ten minutes since he sent the message.Julissa quickly sat up, grabbed Scott's hand without a second thought, and rushed to her bedroom.She only had one thought in her mind—hide Scott first.This Mr. Nichols was clueless, self-centered, and sharp-tongued. If he met Doctor Carter, there was no way things would go well.She shoved Scott into the bedroom and said, "Mr. Nichols, please bear with it for a moment. Don't come out, okay? Please!"Scott remained expressionless, pressing his lips together."We're just colleagues. There's nothing sha
