I wish it were you Chapter 800 I Forgive You
Annabelle sneezed and turned to glance behind her.She and the young master had already climbed partway up the mountain, walking along a small stone path. The return route seemed steep, and the mountain appeared to be empty except for the two of them. Yet, just a moment ago, she had inexplicably felt as though someone had called her.“Are you already too tired to go on?” The young master stood a little higher up, smiling and waving at her to catch up.Annabelle took a couple of deep breaths. The cool air stung her fragile lungs, causing a slight ache. She hadn’t exercised this much in a long time, and it was a bit much for her, but she still quickened her pace to catch up with the young master.The young master pulled a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to her. "Drink some water."Annabelle took a few sips, returned the bottle to him, and then wiped the water from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.“Do you remember when I took you hiking when you were a c

Annabelle immediately shook her head. "No need, Young Master. I'll walk through the water with you.""The water is freezing. Are you sure?"Annabelle nodded seriously. "I'm sure."She was afraid of the cold, but she didn’t want the young master to carry her. As for why… perhaps it was because she had grown up. She was no longer that simple little girl, and she didn’t want to have overly intimate interactions with him—especially after realizing his feelings for her.Although the young master never brought it up again and treated her just like before, Annabelle felt that she shouldn’t let her actions become unrestrained, nor should she give him any reason to hope again.She took off her shoes and socks, just like the young master had, tying the laces together. But since she didn’t have a bag, she simply carried them in her hands.The young master didn’t insist. He adjusted his backpack onto his back and reached out his hand to her.Annabelle pressed her lips together and didn’t take his

"I got it," Annabelle said with a smile, pulling her hands away and tucking them into her pockets.She could feel it more and more—Young Master’s feelings for her. He wasn’t as indifferent as she had thought.Not wanting to pretend she didn’t see it, she spoke softly, "Young Master, you… shouldn’t wait for me."He turned to look at her. "Why?""I like Kendrick.""I know. I never tried to stop you. Your path is yours to choose, and mine is mine. You chose him, and I chose you. This is our own decision. It’s nothing to worry about."Annabelle felt a deep sadness in her heart.Rejecting any admirer was never easy, but rejecting Young Master was the hardest."Don’t feel burdened by it," he said. "Loving you is my own choice. If I can’t win your heart, that’s my own failure. It has nothing to do with you."Ryan picked up a stone and skipped it across the stream.The small rock bounced three times before sinking into the water.He pursed his lips, unsatisfied with his throw.Right now, he c

"Young Master…" Annabelle could finally speak again.But by then, Ryan was already sitting on the ground, his face ashen, lips turning purple, and sweat beading on his forehead."I'm fine… don't worry…" he murmured.Annabelle frantically searched through her backpack for the antidote. She pulled out a small medicine bottle, popped the cap, and poured it into her palm—Only to realize the last pill had already been taken.Tears fell helplessly.Ryan forced a weak smile and reached out to wipe them away."Never thought… after all my planning, this would be the outcome."Annabelle didn’t know what he meant by "planning," but right now, the only thing that mattered was keeping him calm to slow the spread of the venom.Poison absorbed through the mouth spread slower than through the bloodstream, but that didn’t mean his life wasn’t in danger."Young Master, try not to speak. I’ll call for help."Even though she had taken the antidote, her body hadn’t fully recovered.Carrying a man as tall

Thinking back to the days spent in the mountains, Annabelle had torn a page from the calendar every day.The young master had clearly noticed but never told her that time was passing much faster than she thought.In other words, he had hidden the real date from her.And she had been sleeping for two days at a time before waking up.Such an abnormal sleep pattern made her wonder—was there something wrong with her body?Had she contracted some kind of incurable disease?Was the young master afraid she would overthink it, so he kept the truth from her?It wasn’t possible that he had deliberately made her sleep for so long… right?She suddenly remembered that she had promised Kendrick to call him every day.In her mind, she had only missed one day of calling him.But in reality, it had been more than ten days, and she had only sent him a single text message in between.How was Kendrick doing? What would he think of her?Would he assume she had left with the young master?But if he truly u

Ryan looked at Anna and said, "A lot has happened at the Gregory Group while you were gone. Kendrick is about to lose everything." "What do you mean by 'about to lose everything'?" Annabelle asked, stunned. "The the Gregory Group has lost its market. It's collapsing completely." "That’s impossible… A company that big—" "A bankruptcy can happen overnight," Ryan interrupted her firmly. Then, with patience, he continued, "That’s how the business world works. A company can rise to power in a day, and it can be destroyed just as quickly. If you go back now, what can you really do?" Annabelle opened her mouth, her voice dry as she replied, "I can stay by his side. Or help him in any way I can." "Don't be foolish. How exactly can you help? Can you bring in billions to save his company? If you go back now, you’ll only make him feel even more humiliated. No man wants the woman he loves to see him fail. Even if it makes him miserable, do you still insist on going back?" Annabelle bit her

Annabelle crouched down as Coco stood on its hind legs, pressing its head into her palm, rubbing against it while meowing nonstop. She wasn’t sure what it was saying, but it sounded like concern—asking where she had been and why she was only back now. Or maybe it was complaining: That two-legged beast hasn’t been home lately! Just fills up the automatic feeder and leaves! No one cleans my litter box, no one refills my water—Coco is suffering! Sister, save me! "Alright, alright, I get it," Annabelle said, rubbing the little cat’s head. She glanced at its food bowl. The food supply was fine, but the bowl definitely needed a wash. She was in a hurry to see Kendrick, but she couldn’t ignore this little one either. With a sigh, she thought—Kendrick hadn’t seen her in over ten days. A little longer wouldn’t make much of a difference. Let him hold on a bit more. She’d take care of the small one first, then deal with the big one. She quickly washed the cat’s food and water bowls, refil

After quickly packing a few things, Annabelle was ready to leave.She went down to the underground garage and found that her Coco car had been fully repaired.Seeing her old friend again filled her with warmth, and it even seemed to have been modified?She wasn’t knowledgeable about cars, but she could tell that something was different about its appearance.She could easily guess what had happened—after Kendrick found out about her street racing that night, he must have made some modifications while repairing the car. Maybe he even improved its performance.It wasn’t necessarily to encourage her to race again, but more likely to ensure that if she ever found herself in a similar situation, Coco wouldn’t fail her.Not wanting to overthink it, Annabelle got in the car and drove out of the garage.Instead of leaving the neighborhood right away, she stopped outside Gauge’s home and gave him a call.After explaining her plan, Gauge didn’t hesitate—he agreed to help immediately.A few minut

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
I wish it were you Chapter 817 Just Want to Hold You
"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
I wish it were you Chapter 815 What Else Do You Want Me to Do?
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
I wish it were you Chapter 812 Clothes Became a Nuisance
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
