I wish it were you Chapter 758 Call Him Kendrick
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

The call was made to Tokyo. A landline.After four rings, a voice came from the other end—Scott’s.Kendrick closed his eyes briefly. “So, you are there.”“There was an issue. I told you before.” Scott’s voice was low, carrying a hint of strain.“Are you coming back or not?”Before he could answer, Kendrick continued, “It’s up to you whether you return or not. I’m just calling because Anna mentioned that before Julissa’s accident, she told Anna she was still waiting for you. And it was you who told her to wait.”“She’s waiting for me?”“You can ask her yourself. Since Julissa is Anna’s friend—and also a good girl—I’m calling to remind you: if you haven’t figured things out, don’t toy with her feelings. Know who’s worth cherishing and who isn’t. Make sure your priorities are clear.”There was silence on the other end before Scott chuckled.“Kendrick, do you really think I’m that foolish?”“Heh.”“Or do you see me as that much of a jerk?”“Who knows.” Kendrick deliberately jabbed at him.

The night before, when Julissa was rushed to the hospital, Annabelle had already given her a quick pulse diagnosis.At the time, her pulse showed signs of severe vitality depletion—a harbinger of death. That was why Annabelle had been so terrified.After hours of emergency treatment, Julissa’s condition had finally stabilized, though she remained extremely weak due to blood and energy deficiency.Even though she had survived the night and was out of immediate danger, she still needed careful care. A serious illness, if not properly nursed, could leave lasting complications.Annabelle planned to prepare a medicinal formula to help replenish Julissa’s energy and blood, aiding her recovery.However, some of the necessary ingredients were not available in her current stock, and the rarer ones weren’t commonly sold in regular herbal medicine shops.She decided that once Julissa woke up and her condition was more stable, she would make a trip to the mountains to collect the herbs from Uncle

Seeing the disappointment on Julissa’s face, Annabelle could easily guess—she must have been waiting for news from Scott. It seemed she truly cared about him. But with her low spirits and weak body, Julissa soon drifted back to sleep. Around 8 PM, Liam arrived. Annabelle told him that Julissa had just fallen asleep, and there was no telling when she would wake up. “It’s fine. I’ll just stay with her for a while. If she’s still asleep by nine, I’ll leave.” Annabelle sighed inwardly but didn’t say anything more. When Liam had arrived earlier, he had seemed visibly excited—perhaps because he knew Julissa had regained consciousness. However, he kept his voice low, not wanting to disturb her. Now that he had confirmed Julissa’s condition was stable, he let out a noticeable sigh of relief. He pulled up a chair beside her bed and sat quietly, simply watching over her. Seeing the way he looked at Julissa, Annabelle started to believe Kendrick’s theory. Kendrick had once said that Li
Last Updated : 2025-04-14I wish it were you Chapter 763 The Man Who’s Cold Outside but Warm Inside
After waking up, Julissa found herself thinking—if she had really died, her biggest regret would have been all the words left unsaid.All the unspoken feelings that could never be answered, especially those concerning Scott…Did he know she was in the hospital? He probably did, right?As soon as Anna requested leave for her, the company would have been informed. And if Scott didn’t receive her reports and emails, he would have asked about her.But Anna hadn’t mentioned anything about him. And there were no messages from him on her phone.He was still in Tokyo. Probably busy…A wave of disappointment washed over her.How could he say he liked her, tell her to think carefully before giving him an answer, and then act so indifferent afterward?Could it be that Scott was really such a straight-laced man that he expected her to quietly contemplate for a whole month before deciding whether or not to be with him?“How does he treat you?” Liam suddenly asked.Julissa thought for a moment. “He

From the man’s travel-worn appearance and anxious gaze, Liam instantly deduced that this must be the "Mr. Nichols" Julissa had mentioned.No wonder she was drawn to him—this man was indeed exceptional.For someone as proud and competitive as Liam, it was a rare moment of defeat. An unspoken sense of inadequacy surfaced within him.“Anna, is that you?” A weak voice came from inside the hospital room.Scott’s brows furrowed.Was this really the same lively, chatterbox Julissa? She looked so fragile—she must have suffered quite a bit.He set down his suitcase, which still bore the airline’s baggage tag, and gave Liam a slight nod before striding inside.Approaching the hospital bed, he took in her pale complexion, and his brows furrowed even deeper.He rubbed his palms together to warm them before gently wrapping his hand around hers.“Does it hurt?”As he spoke, he reached out to touch her forehead. He wasn’t a doctor, but as long as she didn’t have a fever, things shouldn’t be too bad.

Julissa’s lips curled into a smile as she nodded eagerly.Though neither of them had mentioned the confession from before, she could feel that something between them had subtly changed.This time, after his business trip, the invisible barrier between them had thinned to the point where it was like a fragile cicada’s wing—so delicate that even a gentle breeze could shatter it.The anticipation of this budding relationship felt completely different from anything she had experienced before.For the first time, she could genuinely feel Scott’s affection for her.Even though he had a sharp tongue, never uttered sweet words, and had never made any promises, she just knew.It was something she had never felt before—not even when she was with Liam.Had her past relationship been a joke? Well, there was no need to question it—it truly had been.Speaking of Liam… why was he still here?Scott had gone to fetch her gifts, so Julissa turned to Liam and said, “You should go home now. My friend is

Seeing who it was, Scott pressed his lips together in mild disinterest.“What is it?” He glanced at his younger brother, Julian.Julian smirked. “Figured you weren’t asleep yet. I couldn’t sleep either, so I thought I’d come have a smoke with you.”As he spoke, he pulled out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to his brother, then flicked open a lighter, lighting Scott’s cigarette before lighting his own. He took a slow drag.“Why did Julissa leave?”“Mm.”Scott’s posture was lazy, making it clear he had no intention of explaining.“Bro, are you serious? Still haven’t gotten the girl?”Scott frowned. “Did you come here just to talk nonsense?”“I told Mom and Dad that you’re dating.” Julian flicked off some ash with a grin.“I planned on telling them after getting the marriage certificate. You sure are quick to run your mouth.”Scott’s gaze was distant as he looked out the window.Back then, no matter how much he pleaded or tried to convince them otherwise, his parents had been determined

Julissa twitched the corner of her mouth. “Thanks, I guess.”It wasn’t like she had fought off some wild beast—just caught a cockroach. Did that really count as brave?Then she glanced at Yvette, who still looked pale and shaken. Suddenly, Julissa felt like a tomboy.She hadn’t been raised as a delicate, pampered lady and didn’t quite understand the refined way some women viewed the natural world.To her, she had simply disposed of a bug. If cockroaches weren’t such notorious pests with insane reproductive abilities, she might have even let it go.“How about we switch you to another room?” Scott suggested.Yvette hesitated before asking, “If a room hasn’t been used for a long time, isn’t it more likely to have cockroaches?”Julissa pressed her lips together. Oh, so what now? You want to stay in my boyfriend’s room? His is occupied often—probably no cockroaches there.Scott glanced at Julian, as if suggesting his younger brother switch rooms with Yvette.Julian looked troubled. “Bro, m
I wish it were you Chapter 858 Pretty Brave
Julissa was completely under Scott’s control. She wavered, forgetting all of her mother’s warnings and her own principles.At some point, her dress had been pushed up to her waist, and her shoulder straps had slipped down her arms.The cool air on her exposed skin made her shiver, but the heat from Scott’s body pressed against hers made her burn. Just as she was about to give in entirely, a woman’s sharp scream pierced through the night.Both she and Scott froze, instinctively turning their heads toward the door.Scott let out a long sigh, clearly trying to rein himself in.Finally, he placed a gentle kiss on her cheek before getting out of bed.“I’ll go check.”He walked to the wardrobe, pulled out a fresh set of pajamas, and put them on quickly. As he reached the bedroom door, he turned back to ask the still-dazed Julissa, “Do you want to come with me?”Her senses snapped back into place. She hurriedly pulled her fallen shoulder straps back up and straightened her dress before noddi
I wish it were you Chapter 857 I'm Afraid of You
Julissa closed her eyes for a moment. Even though she had expected this outcome, her heart still felt heavy.She steadied her emotions and continued asking, “Then… do you have a lot of experience?”Scott didn't know how to respond. Should he tell her that, at almost thirty, he had only ever been with one person—and that person was her?If she found out that, before they even knew each other, he had taken her to a hotel when she was drunk… Even though she had been very willing at the time, she had still been intoxicated. It could be considered taking advantage of her…What would she think of him if she knew? Would she see him as frivolous, reckless, even a bit predatory?Even if he explained that he hadn't known what came over him that night, that he had been utterly captivated by her and had been searching for her ever since—would she believe him?With a quiet sigh, he decided that no matter what, he hadn't handled that situation well. He didn't want to bring it up.“My experience is…
I wish it were you Chapter 856 Been There
Scott was momentarily stunned, then chuckled. “So you were bothered by this?”“Why?”Seeing how determined she was to know, Scott decided to explain.“The pajamas Yvette wore were actually meant for you. The last time you got drunk and stayed over, there weren’t any suitable pajamas for you, so I thought I’d get you a couple of sets.”“You thought I would come back then?”Scott smiled slightly. “I figured you’d come to me sooner or later.”Julissa couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter at his confident and possessive words.But she quickly refocused on the main issue.“If they were meant for me, why did Yvette wear them?”Scott shrugged. “It was Julian who gave them to her. She came to Elfhedge in a hurry and forgot to pack pajamas.”This explanation eased Julissa’s mind a little.However, the clothes originally meant for her had ended up on another woman, so Scott shouldn’t be wearing the same set of pajamas.“You should take your clothes off,” Julissa said, her voice a little ster
I wish it were you Chapter 855 He Seems Pretty Innocent
Scott stood by the bed, dimming the bedside lamp before sitting down. He didn’t look at her, as if his earlier request was the most natural thing in the world.Julissa felt like she had been put under a spell. She obediently walked over with the blanket in her arms, placed it on a nearby chair, and sat on the edge of the bed, feeling incredibly restrained.A sudden realization hit her—wasn’t she just delivering herself straight into the big bad wolf’s den?Scott, however, didn’t do anything inappropriate. He simply scooted to the other side of the bed, making room for her, then lifted the blanket and patted the mattress.“Put your legs in.”“M… Mr. Nichols…” Julissa’s voice trembled as she stared at him, feeling so nervous she could cry.Wasn’t this just her voluntarily crawling into his bed?!Scott glanced at her bare legs and chuckled. “I’m just worried you’re cold.”She was wearing a nightdress, and she was feeling chilly.But the real question was—if she got into his bed, could sh
I wish it were you Chapter 854 The Prey Walks Right In
The thought that Scott might be a seasoned flirt—that everything he had said and done to her, he had also done to other women—made Julissa’s heart sink. She lowered her head, feeling a pang of sourness in her chest.But it was already late. She didn’t dwell on it any longer, quickly drying her hair before getting into bed.No matter what, the sun would still rise tomorrow. She had work, she needed to earn money to support herself, and she had to find a new place and move out…With so much to do the next day, she forced herself to stop overthinking and shut her eyes, willing herself to sleep.However, after lying there for a while, not only did sleep evade her, but she became more awake—because it was just too cold.The blanket she had was way too thin. It was basically a summer quilt!The weather wasn’t warm enough for something this light. Did Scott not have common sense? Was he bad at taking care of people? Or… did he do this on purpose?She tried to endure it, but the cold seeped t
I wish it were you Chapter 853 Who’s Flirting with Who?
Scott responded casually, “So? Do you need me to carry you out again?”Julissa’s face heated up. Sometimes, Mr. Nichols is really so… improper.This also confirmed one thing—this guy was definitely the reserved-but-secretly-wild type, and his desire seemed very strong.How do you deal with a man like that? Simple—flirt with him, tease him, but never let him have his way! lol…The corners of Julissa’s mouth curled into a mischievous smile. She was starting to feel more like a seductive villainess.She cleared her throat and said, “That’s not what I meant. I just wanted you to hand me my clothes.”As soon as she finished speaking, Scott pushed open the door and entered, holding a set of her sleepwear.Julissa had already hidden herself beneath the water, only her delicate collarbones visible above the surface—one of her proudest features.She pointed to the chair beside her and, blushing, said, “Mr. Nichols, just leave them there.”But instead of placing the clothes down, Scott caught h

“That’s enough, Mr. Nichols,” she interrupted him. “I don’t need all those complicated settings.”“Alright, then. You go ahead and wash up. Call me if you need anything.”Julissa nodded silently. If something went wrong halfway through her bath, could she actually call him in?Some rather colorful images flashed through her mind—doing this and that in the bathroom…She quickly shook her head, feeling like she was beyond saving.Scott didn’t say anything more and turned to leave the bathroom.Suddenly, a thought struck Julissa, and she quickly called after him. “Mr. Nichols, my luggage is still downstairs!”“I’ll go get it now. You just take your bath.”“The main thing is… my change of clothes is in my suitcase…”Scott paused for a moment. “I’ll bring it up for you.”Julissa wanted to ask him, How do you even know what I’ll wear? But before she could, he had already left the bathroom. She decided not to overthink it and just let him handle it.Once the bathtub was filled, Julissa slipp
