Jax led them to the door where the attacker was being held. As he opened it, he turned to Kendrick. “Boss, let me handle it instead. No need to dirty your hands.”“No need.”Kendrick had to personally deal with the bastard who had dared to hurt his woman. Nothing else would satisfy his rage.Just as he was about to step inside, Annabelle called out, “Wait a moment.”“What is it?”“Don’t kill him.” As his wife, she gently reminded him.No matter how despicable that man was, if he died, it would truly stain Kendrick’s hands. She didn’t want him to become a butcher drenched in blood for her sake.Kendrick nodded. “Understood.”He opened the door, stepped in, and shut it behind him. Through the small glass window, Annabelle peeked inside. The room seemed to be a storage room, with filing cabinets lining both sides. The man sat on the floor, hands and feet tied.Kendrick entered, took out a knife, and sliced through the ropes binding him. Then, he tossed the knife aside.Annabelle frowned,

Annabelle walked up to the observation window outside the ICU. Through the glass, she saw Liam sitting beside Julissa’s bed, dressed in a sterile gown.He held Julissa’s hands in his, pressing them against his forehead.He looked extremely worried, as if silently praying for her recovery.Annabelle sighed. She knew that although Liam and Julissa had broken up, his feelings for her hadn’t changed.In the past, he had always treated Julissa like a little sister, pampering her—not out of romantic love, but out of familial affection. After their breakup, this sentiment didn’t disappear. Instead, it carried a layer of guilt for not reciprocating her feelings.That was why, even after breaking up, Liam had never stopped keeping an eye on Julissa’s life.He no longer pretended to be her boyfriend, but he truly cared for her like a brother.With something so serious happening to Julissa, there was no way Liam wouldn’t come.But whether Julissa would appreciate his presence was another matter.

Annabelle added, “Auntie, there’s no need to be so polite. If you need anything, just let us know.”Mrs. Hickman smiled sheepishly and said, “Well, actually… I just wanted to ask, Mr. Gregory, do you happen to know any outstanding young men like yourself? Maybe you could introduce one to our Julissa?”Annabelle, who had been feeling rather heavy-hearted, instantly brightened up at those words. She almost burst out laughing.Mr. Gregory was quite the catch, it seemed—he had won Mrs. Hickman’s approval in no time.Even though Mrs. Hickman wasn’t her biological mother, and they had only met twice, for some reason, Annabelle felt an inexplicable warmth toward her, as if she were family.So when Mrs. Hickman praised Kendrick, Annabelle couldn’t help but feel proud.She even wanted to tell Mrs. Hickman that there happened to be a wonderful man, Mr. Nichols, who was already pursuing Julissa!But since Julissa hadn’t accepted Scott yet, she decided to keep quiet for now.Kendrick’s expression

Mrs. Hickman suddenly asked, “Oh, where’s the chicken soup? You didn’t forget, did you?” “Of course not! You’ve reminded me at least a hundred times—I wouldn’t dare forget,” Mr. Hickman replied, pulling out a food container and handing it over. Mrs. Hickman then passed the insulated container to Anna. “Your Uncle Hickman made this fresh this morning. You and Mr. Gregory worked hard yesterday, so you need something nutritious.” Annabelle felt a bit embarrassed to accept it, but Mrs. Hickman was very insistent. Mr. Hickman also reassured her, saying they had made an extra portion. There was enough for both of them, and if Julissa woke up in the evening and the doctor allowed her to eat, there would still be a portion left for her. Since it was a heartfelt gesture from the elders, Annabelle no longer refused and accepted it gratefully, thanking them sincerely. Kendrick then took the insulated container from her, carrying it himself. Anna decided to head back. She told Mr. and Mrs.

Jaime was completely at a loss for words. He didn’t dare outright refuse—after all, Miss Hickman was Madam’s friend. She was beautiful, sharp, and had even been a ballet dancer before. Talented and accomplished—what reason did he have to refuse? But he also didn’t dare agree. If he nodded, Mr. Nichols would surely have his head. At this moment, Annabelle finally understood what Kendrick was getting at. Yeah, why wasn’t Scott here yet? Was he really too tied up with work? After that, Jaime helped Annabelle with the discharge procedures, and she and Kendrick returned to the hospital room to pack up. During this time, Kendrick made a call to Scott and put it on speaker, so Anna could eavesdrop on some gossip. “Where are you?” Kendrick’s tone wasn’t exactly friendly. Annabelle pinched him, reminding him to mind his attitude. Kendrick held her hand, signaling her to stay put and not interrupt. “Tokyo.” Scott’s voice was cold as ever. “How’s Julissa?” “She’s still unconscious. Th

Afterward, Jaime came to the hospital room and informed them that they could leave. Annabelle took Kendrick’s car back to Lavender Villa, while Jaime drove back her little white car, which had been left in the mall parking lot the night before. He used the opportunity to report to Kendrick on some work matters. Once the three of them arrived at Lavender Villa, Jaime sat in the living room and began briefing Kendrick on Ada’s situation. Since it involved Annabelle, she stayed to listen as well. Hearing the report, Annabelle couldn’t help but admire Jaime’s efficiency. At the same time, she finally understood why Ada had targeted her—it all stemmed from Ada’s own misdeeds. After joining Willie’s company as a model, Ada relied on Willie’s favoritism and her own rising popularity to act out recklessly. She bossed around and bullied junior models, treating them poorly. One of these models, Susie, had harbored resentment toward her for a long time. She secretly dug up dirt on Ada’s pas

Kendrick said to Jaime, “Since that’s the case, let’s handle it officially. Organize the collected evidence and file a lawsuit against Susie for slander. Also, find a lawyer for Ada and sue Susie for invasion of privacy and violation of personal image rights.”“Understood, Boss.” Jaime agreed but didn’t leave immediately.Having worked by the CEO’s side for so long, he could tell that his boss wasn’t done talking.Kendrick leaned back, resting his arm on the sofa behind Annabelle. His fingers idly played with a strand of her hair, gently twirling it.“In private, arrange for Susie to get a job at one of our branch offices in another province. It won’t be anything glamorous, just enough to keep her afloat. Whether she takes it or not is up to her. But as for the entertainment industry… she’s done. That place is messy enough without her adding to the chaos.”Annabelle stiffened slightly at his words.Noticing her unease, Kendrick didn’t shy away, even with Jaime present. He asked direct

That soft “Kendrick” made the big boss go completely weak. It was even more powerful than calling him “husband.”This was the first time she had ever called his name so intimately in private.So, he quickly returned the gesture, giving the little woman a kiss. “You’re welcome, Anna.”They exchanged a smile.Suddenly, Annabelle realized—oh no! Jaime was still here! How embarrassing!“You two continue chatting. I’m leaving,” she said, blushing as she stood up, ready to flee the living room.Kendrick grabbed her hand, stopping her.Jaime, with the knowing smile of a single man, said, “Madam doesn’t have to leave. I’ve finished my report. You two carry on. I’ve had my fill of PDA today, so I’ll be heading out.”Kendrick shot him a glare. Tsk! This guy’s getting cheeky now?Smirking, he picked up an orange and made a throwing motion toward Jaime.The assistant bolted immediately, not giving his boss the chance.Annabelle hadn’t expected Jaime to be this amusing, and she doubled over laughi

Annabelle had fallen asleep on the desk.Kendrick walked over, just about to tease her—So this is how Anna helps lighten my workload?But as he lowered his head, he noticed the notes she had written on paper.It was her analysis of the reports—well-organized and clear. She hadn’t had the chance to compile them into a digital format before sleepiness took over.The last line was scrawled slightly crookedly, unintentionally adorable.Kendrick gently picked her up in his arms. Annabelle groggily opened her eyes and mumbled, “I just need to finish up the last part…”“I saw it. You did a great job. Get some rest—I’ll wake you when it’s time for lunch.”“Okay…” she murmured before drifting back to sleep.Kendrick knew she hadn’t gotten much sleep the night before.Just yesterday, she had gone hiking, gotten poisoned, and then… well, he had kept her up even longer that night. No wonder she was exhausted now.He was feeling a little drained himself, so he lay beside her for about ten minutes,

Annabelle hesitated for a moment but continued speaking.She proposed another solution: inviting financially capable friends to purchase multiple units as an investment. Of course, they would need to be given significant discounts to ensure that they actually profited in the future—otherwise, it would just be exploiting friendships, which wouldn’t be right.Once these purchases were made, the sales team could spread the word. Ordinary buyers tended to follow trends—if they saw wealthy investors buying in, they would assume the property’s value was bound to increase. This would encourage more people to purchase units.However, this method didn’t seem entirely aboveboard, and it involved selling at a loss to generate hype. That’s why Anna felt it should be used cautiously.Kendrick listened attentively and nodded seriously. “Anna makes a good point.”“Hey, Kendrick!”Annabelle had a feeling that whenever this man praised her with such a serious expression, he was secretly thinking she w

Annabelle had a poor appetite and didn’t finish her bowl of dumplings, leaving half behind. But Kendrick ate the rest without hesitation.After breakfast, Anna didn’t say she was leaving, and Kendrick didn’t ask.He handed her a couple of magazines she might find interesting and then went about his business.Of course, he could tell—she didn’t want to leave. So, he let her be.After all, the little woman sat there quietly, not disturbing him in the slightest. On the contrary, her presence made him even more motivated to work.After some time, he glanced at her again and found that the magazine on her lap had remained open on the same page. She hadn’t turned it for a long time, lost in thought, her expression troubled.Was she worrying about him?Kendrick chuckled softly. Having a young girl worry about his business—was this a sign of his failure, or his good fortune?In reality, he had already survived the darkest times and had a chance to rise again.The only reason he remained so te

"The Madam is here!"Jaime was even more excited than her own husband when he saw Annabelle suddenly appear.Annabelle smiled and greeted him, "Hi, Jaime, long time no see."Jaime wanted to chat more, but one glance at his boss's expression made him realize he might have been too enthusiastic. Quickly sensing the situation, he made an excuse about having work to do and slipped out of the office.Annabelle had originally wanted to tell them to go ahead with their work and that she could wait to have breakfast together once they were done. But before she could say a word, Jaime had already made his escape.Kendrick stepped in front of her and lightly tapped her nose. "Weren't you exhausted last night? How come you're up so early?"Annabelle instantly knew he was trying to tease her with some suggestive remarks again. She shot him a glare and ignored the bait."Maybe I’ve just slept too much these past few days. Have you had breakfast yet?""Haven't had the chance. Did you come all the w

After chatting for a while longer, Annabelle soon couldn’t keep her eyes open. She lay against Kendrick’s chest, her breathing turning slow and even.Kendrick gently cradled her, carefully placing her head on the pillow and tucking her in before reaching for his phone.He sent a message to Jaime, letting him know that he wouldn’t be returning to the office tonight. He would be there early in the morning and advised Jaime to pause his work for the night, get some proper rest, and be ready to discuss projects the next day.After that, Kendrick lay down beside Anna and got a solid three hours of sleep. At exactly 4 AM, he woke up naturally—no alarm needed.With the company’s affairs weighing on his mind, sleeping in simply wasn’t an option.Moving quietly, he kissed Anna’s forehead before slipping out of bed and getting dressed.Just as he was leaving the bedroom, Coco, the little night owl of a cat, sauntered in, completely ignoring him. The fluffy creature leapt onto the bed, curled up

Hearing the rare, flattering way Annabelle explained things to him, Kendrick decided to let go of the whole “older man” thing.Then, he turned the conversation back to the video she recorded.Kendrick admitted that he hadn’t had time to deal with that real estate project lately, but her discovery was incredibly useful. He planned to send people to investigate and gather evidence the next day, then bring in media reporters to create buzz. This should help restore the Gregory Group’s reputation.Once consumer trust was rebuilt, sales for the second and third phases of the development should improve.After explaining his plan, he couldn’t resist kissing the little woman. “Thanks for your hard work, wifey.”Annabelle’s lips curled up happily. As long as she could help him, all the trouble tonight was worth it.“Now, tell me,” Kendrick adjusted his posture, looking into her eyes. “Why were you gone for so many days?”Annabelle carefully explained that when the young master rescued her, she

Kendrick’s fingers froze. He lowered his gaze to the little woman lying on his chest.“You two went where?”Did he hear that right?Otherwise, why would she and Gauge go to a short-term rental?Annabelle lifted her head and glanced at him. His expression was sour, filled with disbelief. It made her want to laugh, but she held back.“You really don’t trust me that much?”Kendrick let out a cold snort and pulled her tighter into his embrace. “It’s not you I don’t trust—it’s Gauge.”That kid might not seem like a schemer, but when a man is in front of the woman he likes, he can grow bad intentions out of nowhere.Who knew if Gauge would try to trick Anna into something…Seeing his face darken, Annabelle quickly said, “Don’t get worked up yet. I have something to show you.”She sat up, glanced around, and realized she had no clothes nearby. So, she grabbed Kendrick’s shirt from the floor and slipped it on before looking for her phone.Earlier, he had kissed her all the way into the bedroo
I wish it were you Chapter 813 Has He Ever Been Polite?
Annabelle was well aware that the man on top of her was feeling a mix of heartache and jealousy. She could sense the turmoil within him, the way his emotions were a tangled web of pain and possessiveness. Or perhaps, it was more than just jealousy—he was hurt. While he had been carrying an immense burden and fighting alone, she had been out enjoying a spring outing with another man.Putting herself in his shoes, Annabelle felt a wave of guilt wash over her. And yet, despite everything, he still couldn't bear to blame her. He said he understood everything and was willing to trust her. His words were a balm to her soul, but they also made her feel even more for Kendrick. The depth of his understanding and trust only deepened her feelings for him.She needed to explain things clearly. She had lost track of time over the past few days, which was why she hadn't realized all that he had been going through. And as for the young master, there were no romantic feelings between them.“It’s not

Annabelle stopped crying and stared at him blankly. “Why don’t you ask me why I didn’t call you afterward?” Kendrick cupped her face and kissed away her tears. “I wanted to ask, but the moment I saw you cry, my heart shattered. All I wanted was to hold you.” Her cheeks were still stained with tears, but upon hearing his words, she pressed her lips together and smiled. “Fool.” Kendrick gently pinched the tip of her nose. There were a thousand words left unspoken. The days of anxiety and torment disappeared the moment he saw her. Right now, Kendrick didn’t want to say anything. He just wanted to look at her. To make sure he wasn’t dreaming. To confirm that she was truly here. “Oh, I heard about the company. I was really worried about you.” Anna spoke with a nasal tone, her eyes filled with concern. Kendrick smiled at her. “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.” She pursed her lips again. “I can explain why I didn’t contact you these past few days.” Kendrick realized he didn’t bla
