Chapter 80 Thirty Years of Innocence, Gone
Last Updated:
2024-12-22 18:04:54Thinking 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.

Annabelle stared wide-eyed in terror, as she was dressed scantily and could clearly feel Kendrick's scorching and rigid body.She immediately pushed his chest with force, but couldn't move him, so she opened her mouth and bit his lip.Kendrick felt a slight tingling at the corner of his lips. Although he wanted to continue, he also understood the principle of stopping while ahead. He then released her body and smiled, saying, "This is a token of gratitude."Annabelle's face turned red, feeling embarrassed and not knowing how to deal with this rascal, she turned around and ran out of the study.Watching her running out with her skirt fluttering, Kendrick couldn't help but laugh. He was on fire, and it took a long time for it to extinguish.After leaving the study, Annabelle's mood remained unsettled for a long time.Her mind was filled with the scenes of being kissed by him, and her whole body was filled with his scent. This disturbed feeling

Annabelle was not angry either, she sat down on the chair next to him and teased him, saying, "Be careful, if you cry wolf too many times, it won't work anymore."Fabian smiled and sat up straight."How have you been lately? Are you still adjusting well to life in the Gregory family?"Did Annabelle get used to the situation of being hugged and kissed by Kendrick in the morning?I don't know if life is adaptable or not, but anyway, Kendrick's rogue behavior seems to have become a norm.Thinking about this, Annabelle sighed."Did he bully you?"Annabelle shook her head, "No."She knew Fabian's personality, and if he found out that Kendrick was always taking advantage of her from time to time, Fabian was likely to go directly to Kendrick to settle the score."By the way, can you help me take a look at this dress? Can it be repaired?" Annabelle took out a little dress and handed it to Fabian, while changing the subject.

Annabelle blinked her eyes and smiled, "So, your fans won't eat me, right?""To be honest," Fabian said earnestly, "if you still need a marriage to protect you by then, I am willing to provide you with this safe haven."Annabelle understood the meaning of this sentence, which was that if she still needed to fake a marriage with someone in the future, she didn't have to look for Kendrick anymore, she could just go directly to Fabian.So she raised her eyebrows and said with a relaxed tone, "Alright, I will come to you then. It seems that I don't have to worry about anything anymore!""If you had told me earlier, you wouldn't have to make this agreement with Kendrick now," Fabian said, lightly tapping her forehead, "making you impulsive."Annabelle stuck out her tongue, she was indeed too eager and got carried away at the engagement banquet.However, even if she had been given the chance to think it over calmly again, she would never have cons

Kendrick, however, took advantage of the opportunity and invaded the city, seizing the land.Annabelle couldn't stand such kisses, pushing Kendrick away with her hand while making a "wuwu" sound involuntarily.This also made him unable to help but think of the situation where she embraced that man.Annabelle bit his lip, and a sudden taste of blood filled her mouth.Kendrick felt a slight pain on his lips, hesitated for a moment, but did not let go.On the contrary, his kiss became more intense.Annabelle was picked up by him and taken directly to the sofa in the living room...Until this moment, Annabelle realized how weak her power had been.Kendrick kissed more passionately, and his body grew hotter and hotter.Annabelle's pores instantly opened up.She had experienced this scene before, although she managed to escape later, that incident of almost being insulted suddenly reappeared like a nightmare.Eve

Kendrick let go of Annabelle, turned around indifferently, and walked towards upstairs.Annabelle watched his departing figure and chuckled self-deprecatingly.This is the fragile affection established between people.When she left home in the morning, she still believed that Kendrick was a reliable man. However, at this moment, she realized that she really couldn't have hope in anyone anymore.However, since that day, the two of them entered into a cold war mode.Kendrick would leave early and return late, even though they lived under the same roof, Annabelle hardly ever saw him.As for Kendrick's head ailment, surprisingly, Annabelle was no longer treating it.Annabelle felt uneasy for two days. Seeing Kendrick being cold towards her, she didn't want to beg him for treatment either.And Kendrick also said that they could get a divorce anytime. Annabelle wanted to wait until the next time she saw him to arrange a time to meet

Annabelle opened the door and saw Kendrick's assistant Jaime standing outside."Assistant Gao, is there something you need?"Jaime respectfully said, "Madam, I came to help Mr. Gregory with his laundry."Annabelle paused for a moment and asked, "Hasn't he come back home yet?"Jaime was a perceptive person and he knew that there was a misunderstanding between the two of them. After listening to Annabelle's words, he understood that both of them wanted to reconcile now. Unfortunately, the president's wife was stubborn, and the president was even more stubborn.As his assistant, he naturally had to mediate more and said, "These days, there are too many things happening in the company, and the CEO is also thinking about going home every day."Annabelle blinked her eyes, is it true?How come even the clothes are now being sent back by the assistant, and she used to call her every day before, but now she doesn't even send a single message.

His expression was cold, and his sharp gaze swept over Cael and Ariana.Ariana’s heart skipped a beat.Why is Brother Kendrick looking at us like that? Did he suspect something?She glanced at Cael, but he remained completely at ease. He even patted her hand discreetly, as if reassuring her to stay calm.He was right. If Brother Kendrick had truly sensed that Annabelle was in danger, he would have rushed to find her immediately—there was no way he’d still be standing here.So, she had to stay composed and act naturally.“Brother Kendrick, I’ve been looking for you to toast you, but I couldn’t find you anywhere.”She smiled sweetly, picking up a glass of champagne laced with drugs from a passing waiter’s tray and offering it to Kendrick.Kendrick accepted the glass but didn’t drink immediately.“Have you seen Anna? I’ve been calling her, but I can’t get through.”Ariana stiffened slightly, gripping Cael’s arm tighter.She glanced at Cael again, but as expected, he remained composed, ev

After Cael left, Annabelle rushed to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and started filling the bathtub with cold water.This method was crude but effective.At the same time, she planned to call Kendrick.When she took out her phone, she first noticed a message from Julissa, sent using Scott’s phone.Unfortunately, it was too late for that. If she had only checked her phone earlier, she might have been able to avoid drinking that glass of wine. But now, all she could do was try to find a way to ease the burning desire within her.Annabelle switched to Kendrick’s chat window, but her trembling fingers failed to hold onto the phone.The phone slipped from her grasp and fell into the bathtub.Water seeped into the phone, rendering it useless.Frustrated and annoyed, Annabelle set the phone aside. She couldn’t even wait for the bathtub to fill completely before stepping in, barefoot.The icy water engulfed her body, bringing some relief, but it couldn’t extinguish the deep craving insid

As soon as she entered the elevator, Annabelle immediately reached for the emergency alarm button.Cael effortlessly caught her hand, smiling. "Ms. Sanchez, you'd better not make a scene. Be good and listen to me—I won’t hurt you."Annabelle loathed his touch. Even though her body felt weak and powerless, she still managed to yank her hand away."Cael, if you dare lay a finger on me, Kendrick will never let you go."He glanced at her and chuckled."To be honest, you are quite my type. But I know what happens when you offend Kendrick—I’m not that stupid."He paused briefly, then added with a sinister smirk, "Besides, this is my engagement party. Do you think I’d ruin it? I truly want to marry Ariana."For some reason, Annabelle found his smile extremely unsettling.Especially when he said "truly want to marry Ariana." A chill ran down her spine.It felt like there was something far more insidious lurking beneath his frivolous exterior—something devious, something dangerous.But that wa
I wish it were you Chapter 607 Falling into Cael’s Hands
One hour ago, inside the hotel banquet hall.Ariana and Cael approached Annabelle, raising their glasses to her.Kendrick had just stepped out of the banquet hall to take an important call, leaving Annabelle alone for the moment.She stood up, accepted the drink handed to her by the waiter, and took a sip without much thought. After exchanging a few polite words with Ariana, she downed the drink.However, shortly after drinking it, she realized something was wrong.Her face felt hot, her breathing became short and feverish, and when she caught her reflection in the glass window beside her, she saw her own hazy eyes and flushed, alluring expression.This wasn’t the first time she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, but this time, the effect was overwhelming. It was as if ants were crawling through her veins, an unbearable itch spreading deep inside her body, making it nearly impossible to maintain control.She could feel her willpower crumbling under the drug’s influence. If a man tr

Julissa seriously considered it for a moment.If this really was a dream, she would probably forget everything when she woke up, so there’d be no awkwardness in facing him later.And wasn’t the whole point of dreams to let people experience things they couldn’t do in reality?She dazedly nodded.Scott chuckled. "Do you like me that much?"Julissa grinned cheekily. Who doesn’t like a handsome guy?"Of course! And if you don’t dock my salary, I’ll like you even more!"That simple sentence lit up the deep, brooding darkness in Scott’s eyes.He chose to believe that she meant it—that it wasn’t just drunken nonsense."Alright, I won’t dock your salary."Glancing at the bedside clock, he withdrew his hand from her waist."Wait for me. Don’t fall asleep."Julissa’s face flushed red. She didn’t know whether to nod or shake her head.She thought to herself, But I’m already asleep. Shouldn’t you be saying ‘don’t wake up’ instead?Still, feeling too embarrassed to correct him, she kept quiet.Sc
I wish it were you Chapter 605 If This Is a Dream
Julissa flashed a mischievous smile. "Mr. Nichols, taking advantage of you in a dream won’t get my salary docked, right? lol…"Scott’s lips curled up slightly. "You can try and see."Julissa was a woman of action. If she thought about it, she would do it.She hooked her arms around Scott’s neck, tiptoed, and pressed her lips directly against his.His lips were slightly cool, his scent crisp and refreshing—like the air after a snowfall.Most importantly, the sensation felt too real.This dream was so wonderfully vivid that she couldn’t help but close her eyes and savor it.Scott watched her up close, even noticing the slight tremble of her long lashes.After so many days, he was finally kissing her again.The taste of this kiss… was almost identical to that night.Yet, at the same time, it was different.Because this time, Julissa knew who she was kissing.This foolish girl actually thought she was dreaming, so she was acting recklessly.But did that mean… deep inside, she harbored fee
I wish it were you Chapter 604 Heart Pounding Like Crazy
After finishing in the bathroom, Julissa wobbled over to the pristine sink.Through the mirror, she took in her surroundings again—still the same high-end black, white, and gray aesthetic.The faucet, free of even a single water stain, gleamed with a cold metallic sheen. The marble countertop, with its rippling stone patterns, looked just as chilly.Julissa couldn't help but complain, "The designer of this hotel must be emotionally detached."Then, her eyes landed on a white ceramic tray on the counter. Several white and brown bottles sat neatly arranged on it.Probably just some basic skincare products, she guessed.Curious, she picked one up and squinted at the label—a jumble of blurry letters, not a single recognizable word.Looks expensive…She made a mental note to try them out when she took a bath later.Right now, though, she was too lazy even to wash her hands. She just wanted to sleep.She set the bottle back down, but her drunken clumsiness betrayed her—she knocked over the

Julissa didn’t quite catch the implication of that "again."She thought Scott had simply seen through the crush she once had on him.But more importantly—how could he say such flirtatious things so casually, without even blinking?!"Mr. Nichols, don’t you feel embarrassed saying things like that?"He smirked lightly, amusement flashing in his eyes. "If you’re not embarrassed, why should I be?"Julissa tilted her head, grinning mischievously as she leaned in closer. "So… does that mean I can flirt with you however I want?"Scott flicked her forehead, shaking his head helplessly. "Julissa, I really should record you right now."Just then, the car arrived. Scott helped her inside, and they both sat in the back seat.The driver asked, "Mr. Nichols, to the office or…?"Scott originally planned to return to the office, but after glancing at Julissa—who had instantly fallen asleep the moment she leaned against the window—he sighed."Take us home."He was the one who got her drunk, so he had
I wish it were you Chapter 602 Trying to Sleep with Me Again?
Julissa was already drunk, her mind foggy, but she couldn't shake the feeling that Ariana and Cael were up to something sneaky.Are they planning something against Anna?She knocked on her hazy head, trying to stay clear-headed.She stood up, intending to head over to Annabelle.Even if she didn’t know what she could do, at least being by Anna’s side would be better than nothing.But as soon as she got up, the world spun, and her legs felt like they were stepping on cotton. She couldn’t even stand properly.Scott caught her. "Where are you going?"Julissa raised her hand and pointed in Annabelle’s direction.Scott followed her finger, which was aimed toward the banquet hall's exit. Thinking she wanted to leave, he simply said, "Alright," and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her straight out of the hall through the side door.The pressure against her stomach from being carried made Julissa feel sick. She clutched Scott’s shirt tightly, burying her head in his chest, desperately hol
