I wish it were you Chapter 783 Wanting Her Heart
The Young Master seemed to notice Annabelle's embarrassment and calmly explained, “Your clothes were changed by Seraphina. Your jacket isn’t dry yet, so wear what I’ve prepared for you.”Annabelle breathed a sigh of relief, quickly accepting the clothes. She changed in the dressing room, then followed the Young Master out the door.He drove while she sat in the passenger seat.Although it had been years since they had sat so close, and she had rarely seen him during the day, Annabelle didn’t feel unfamiliar with him.To her, the Young Master still felt as warm and familiar as before.She wanted to catch up with him, but there was no time for small talk. Her mind was consumed with worry for Uncle Trey.They soon arrived at the scene of the incident. Annabelle immediately noticed her little white car was gone, and the road had been completely cleared.Looking toward the deep valley below, she shivered at the sight. It was terrifyingly steep, and the memory of standing at the edge last n

Annabelle turned to the Young Master. “Why not?”“You’re still injured. I’d like to help you with your recovery for a few days. Once you’re fully healed, I’ll let you go.”Annabelle opened her mouth to protest, but before she could say anything, the Young Master interrupted her.“And the wound on your face is quite tricky. It’s a bit deep, and your skin is delicate. I’d prefer to treat it myself for a couple of days until it stabilizes. You wouldn’t want it to leave a scar, would you?”She certainly didn’t want a scar, but…“Maybe you could just tell me how to take care of it myself, and I’ll handle it.”The Young Master let out a faint, bitter smile. “To be honest, I just want you to stay a little longer. I happen to have some free time, and I’ll be staying here in the mountains for a while. Anna, why don’t you stay for two more days and make it up to me for missing my birthday?”Annabelle hesitated. The Young Master had saved her and now wanted to help her recover. If she insisted o

When the phone rang, Kendrick was still working overtime at the office.It had been three days since Anna left him. With no news from her, his frustration was reaching its limit. The only way to keep himself from dwelling on it was to immerse himself in work.Because the moment he stopped, his thoughts would run wild — Where was she? How was she? If she was unharmed, she would have called him by now.She wouldn’t just forget him. Anna wasn’t that kind of person.But no matter how much he tried to convince himself, endless scenarios played out in his mind. Maybe Ryan had imprisoned her. Maybe her injuries were severe, and she hadn’t regained consciousness. Or, worst of all — maybe she had changed her heart, erasing the moments they shared together.Perhaps she had simply returned to the man she once admired and adored. And Kendrick? He was nothing more than a fleeting chapter in her long life.These tormenting thoughts consumed him daily. Working was his only escape.His phone buzzed o

"Kendrick? Why aren’t you saying anything? What happened to Uncle Trey?""He’s fine. Out of danger now."Kendrick’s voice was hoarse. He wished he could leap through the phone signal, grab her by her little rabbit ears, and drag her straight back home."That’s good… that’s really good…"She sounded relieved.Just then, Kendrick heard a man’s voice from the other end."Anna, I need the phone. Are you done?"Kendrick nearly cursed out loud. Whatever trick Ryan had used to keep his wife there, it wasn’t enough — now he even controlled when she could make a simple phone call?"Kendrick, I have to go. The Young Master needs to use the phone.""Wait," Kendrick’s voice was cold. "Why can’t you come back to get treated? Do you think I can’t afford a doctor?"Anna explained, "It’s my face that’s injured. You know, after the burns, even though it healed without scarring under the Young Master’s treatment, my skin is much more fragile now. I just think he knows my skin condition better, and he h

The Young Master handed Anna a piece of paper and a pen. "Write down the prescription for the medicine. After Seraphina prepares it, I'll have her send it to Julissa at the hospital."Annabelle nodded, her emotions complicated as she wrote down the prescription and handed it to the Young Master."Rest for a while," Ryan said. "I'll give the prescription to Seraphina, and then I'll come back to change your dressing."Annabelle absentmindedly nodded, "Alright."Ryan walked out, his face darkening, his grip tightening around his phone as though he could crush the screen.Seraphina walked up from the first floor, noticing his mood and calling out to him in concern."Young Master..."Ryan waved her off. "Let's talk downstairs."Seraphina didn't say anything more and quickly followed him downstairs.They arrived at the living room on the first floor, where Ryan handed the prescription to Seraphina."Prepare it as soon as possible according to Anna’s instructions and send it to Julissa at th
Last Updated : 2025-04-15I wish it were you Chapter 788 Her Pride
Seraphina didn’t know whether she should feel heartbroken or touched.It meant that the Young Master had special feelings for her, but not love.It also meant that she would never truly win his heart.She was like Dereon, a trusted confidante to the Young Master. But in his eyes, perhaps she wasn’t even seen as a woman...At the moment when her tears were about to fall, Ryan kissed her eyes.Seraphina instinctively closed her eyes. His lips were slightly cold, and a bit soft, but the kiss was too light, too shallow. It didn’t last long enough to truly experience. It only brushed her eyelids before quickly pulling away.Leaving behind a great sense of loss.“Don’t make things difficult for Anna. Don’t force her to leave. Don’t hurt her. Let her stay as long as she wants. Okay?”Seraphina forced a faint smile. It was then that she realized that everything the Young Master had said and done earlier was only because he wanted her to be kind to Ms. Sanchez, not to hurt the woman he loved..

Seraphina smiled and nodded at her, "Yes, the Young Master you're thinking of.""You said Anna is with the Young Master, what does that mean?" Julissa asked again.The day before, Kendrick had come to see her and said that Anna couldn't visit her recently because she was a bit busy. Julissa noticed that Kendrick didn’t look too good, but didn’t think too much of it at the time.Now, after hearing Seraphina’s words, she seemed to understand a little.Kendrick must be anxious since Anna was now with another man... and not just any man, but her number one rival.Seraphina then said, “This, it’s better for Anna to tell you herself.”Julissa thought to herself that Seraphina was tight-lipped, not revealing anything. Well, she trusted that Anna knew what she was doing and wouldn’t jump to conclusions.“Please thank Anna for me, and thank you for coming all the way here.”Seraphina smiled at her. “No need to thank me. I wish you a speedy recovery. I’ll leave now.”She smiled and nodded at Sc

Scott lowered his head and looked at her, seeing right through her little thoughts.She wasn’t really feeling unwell; she was just overwhelmed by the difficulty ahead. It was understandable—she had just gotten injured and now had to use her brain to study. Of course, she wouldn’t be in the mood.But he didn’t know what else to do with her. He was only keeping her company while she studied to keep her entertained, not to turn her into a straight-A student.He grabbed Julissa’s small hand, which was resting on his arm, and held it in his own, gently squeezing it. It was soft, warm, and felt nice to the touch.However, Julissa’s palms began to sweat as she looked at Mr. Nichols nervously. Why did she feel a dangerous aura all of a sudden?“What are you thinking about?”Scott leaned in slightly and whispered beside her ear.“I want to kiss you.”His voice was low and seductive, making Julissa’s heart rate skyrocket to 120 in an instant. Her head buzzed, and she instinctively shrank her ne

I wish it were you Chapter 930 Youthful Ambition
What Gauge wanted to discuss with Kendrick was a strategic collaboration between their two companies.Since stepping into the family business, Gauge had discovered a series of issues.Although Lin Jewelry appeared to be thriving, its narrow focus on a single line of business had left it vulnerable to serious challenges.Therefore, Gauge was planning to expand the jewelry and watch business within the next five years into leather goods, fashion products, and the perfume industry.He also proposed merging the group's original real estate construction division with a subsidiary of Gregory's Group. Murphy's Group would retain only a small share—essentially, a disguised sale to Gregory's.But the reason they couldn’t call it a sale outright was because Murphy's Group had started out in the construction industry. Gauge’s father, Simon, still held an emotional attachment to that legacy and couldn’t let go entirely.After the merger of the construction branches, Gauge hoped to acquire Gregory
I wish it were you Chapter 929 The Old Fox Is Hiding Something
At first, Annabelle didn’t understand what he was up to. It wasn’t until they were back inside the house that she realized—Kendrick thought she looked a little too sexy wearing his oversized T-shirt, especially since it made it seem like she wasn’t wearing anything on the bottom. It sparked a lot of imaginative thoughts.Annabelle was both amused and exasperated. She lifted the hem of the T-shirt to show him: “I am wearing shorts! They’re just... a little short. But still totally decent!”But Mr. Gregory was persistent. In the end, Annabelle gave in and changed into her own clothes.Once they were both dressed, they returned to the courtyard.Annabelle noticed Gauge hadn’t touched the watermelon and asked why—after all, it was set aside just for him.Gauge pulled a ten-hole blues harmonica from his pocket and said, “If I eat now, I won’t be able to play.”She knew harmonica players had to keep their mouth clean before playing.Then, Gauge handed her his guitar. “Since we’re just hang
I wish it were you Chapter 928 The Sweetest Part Is in the Middle
While Kendrick was cutting the watermelon, Annabelle couldn’t take her eyes off him.How strange—why did everything this man did seem so charming to her? Even slicing a watermelon looked handsome.It was as if her brain had automatically applied a beauty filter to him.Annabelle placed a hand over her chest, trying to calm her racing heart. But the more she tried, the faster it beat. The sweet words he had just whispered, every little expression and gesture of his, were now playing back in her mind like a movie…Kendrick held out the watermelon to her with a grin. “Little fangirl, stop staring. This handsome guy is your husband—100% confirmed.”Annabelle glared at him with a flushed face. “Narcissist!”Then she lowered her head, scooping out a bite of watermelon, determined to focus on eating.Just as she was about to take a bite, she noticed Kendrick had sat down.The other half of the watermelon was still sitting on the small stone platform by the well.“Aren’t you going to eat?”“Y
I wish it were you Chapter 927 Still Say You Don't Love Me?
Annabelle smiled softly, her eyes twinkling with a mix of amusement and affection. "Why do you always have to compare everything?" she asked, her voice gentle and teasing."I just want to know," he replied, his voice low and earnest. He reached out and tucked a strand of Anna's hair behind her ear, his touch light but intimate. "What it feels like for you to be with me."Annabelle fell into deep thought, her gaze drifting away as she considered his question. The room was quiet, filled only with the soft sounds of their breathing and the occasional rustle of the sheets beneath them. After a while, she still hadn't answered. Kendrick sighed, a hint of frustration in his voice. "Is it really that hard to answer?""Hmm... it’s hard to describe," Annabelle murmured thoughtfully, her fingers playing with the edge of the blanket. "Before, when I was with you, just seeing you would throw my heart into chaos. My pulse would race, and I could hardly catch my breath. But now…” She trailed off, h
I wish it were you Chapter 926 Soft Soft
Annabelle hadn’t slept so soundly in a long time.When she lazily opened her eyes and looked out the window, she realized it was already dark.Ever since arriving at her grandma’s house and staying in this quiet little fishing village—far away from her usual life—it felt like she had escaped to another world. Her entire being relaxed, with nothing left to worry about.Kendrick didn’t have to stress over the corporation anymore either.Their biggest daily dilemma had become: what should we eat for the next meal?If only life could always be this carefree...Annabelle slowly sat up. After sleeping for so long, her whole body felt soft and mushy. She got out of bed and wandered into the courtyard, where she saw Kendrick sitting at the small table, smoking.When he heard her, he turned around.“Awake?”Kendrick stubbed out his cigarette and patted his thigh.Annabelle walked over without hesitation or shyness and naturally sat on his lap, arms around his neck, resting softly against his s
I wish it were you Chapter 925 Uncle
Kendrick’s face darkened. “It’s better to date someone older. Look at Mr. Murphy—he’s too young, can’t even cook. How’s he supposed to take care of a girlfriend?”Annabelle raised her eyebrows and gave the sly old fox a glance. Flicking the water off her hands, she smiled and said, “But younger guys are energetic—and no generation gap!”Kendrick let out a sharp “hmph.” “You think there’s a generation gap between us?”“I didn’t say us,” Annabelle teased, eyes twinkling. “Why are you jumping to conclusions? Having a midlife crisis already, Uncle?”The little bunny was obviously up to no good with that mischievous grin.Kendrick glanced at the loquat tree in the courtyard, then squinted at the sunlight filtering through its leaves, trying hard to stay calm.After all, he was turning 31 after the New Year. Couldn’t let a little girl get under his skin, right?But midlife crisis? Really?He was in his prime. A young man!So this young Mr. Gregory looked into the reflection on the glass. He
I wish it were you Chapter 924 I’m Your Future Wife
So Annabelle thought to herself—was Mr. Gregory being a little too proactive?Kendrick asked lightly, “So, do you want to go swimming with him alone?”He deliberately emphasized the word “alone,” as if suggesting she had ulterior motives. Annabelle could only respond, “...I never said that!”“Then that’s that,” Kendrick said calmly, taking her hand and leading her into the house.After a short rest, the three of them began preparing lunch.Gauge was every bit the privileged young master—clearly someone who’d never cooked at home before. He practically didn’t know how to do anything.He was too rough when washing vegetables, to the point of mangling the leaves.Then they had him try chopping vegetables—but the young master, with his obsessive need for precision, insisted on cutting everything perfectly uniform, each slice as neat as the next. At the rate he was going, they’d probably be eating tomorrow’s lunch.Kendrick and Annabelle didn’t even bother expecting him to cook anything. T
I wish it were you Chapter 923 Even the Young Master Needs to Make His Presence Known
Afterward, the three of them returned to Grandma’s house first.Gauge waited in the courtyard while Annabelle and Kendrick brought the things they bought at the market into the house. After grabbing the ingredients they needed for lunch, the three of them headed to Gauge’s place together.When they arrived in front of the white guesthouse, Kendrick couldn’t help but chuckle.That morning, he and Anna had passed by this very spot. He had been wondering at the time—the place had a fresh, elegant architectural style. But there was no signboard, so maybe it wasn’t a guesthouse after all. If it was just a private residence, then it probably belonged to someone with means.Sure enough, his guess wasn’t far off. What he didn’t expect was that this would turn out to be Gauge’s home.After stepping through the front gate, Annabelle couldn’t help but marvel.To build such a charming little courtyard on this sloped hill must’ve taken a lot of thought and care.“Come in, rest a bit. Have some wat
I wish it were you Chapter 922 Just Like Last Night
As Kendrick was lost in thought, Annabelle called out to him, “Let me help you carry a couple of those.”Just moments ago, Kendrick had taken all the shopping bags from her hands—he was carrying everything by himself now.Seeing his forehead glistening with sweat, Annabelle, who now had empty hands, felt both guilty and worried.Kendrick looked back at her, smiled, and said, “I could carry you on my back too, no problem.”“Stop messing around, give me two bags.”Seeing how serious she looked, eyebrows furrowed and all, he finally gave in and handed her two of the lightest ones.But as soon as she took them, Gauge casually took them from her without saying a word.Annabelle: “…”She felt like she’d just become the middleman in a hand-off.Kendrick glanced at Gauge. “Thanks, Mr. Murphy.”His tone and look were both laced with provocation.Even Annabelle thought he was kinda asking for a punch right then.Gauge snorted coldly, “Don’t thank me. It’s not like I’m helping you.”“Tsk, brat…”
