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.
Annabelle typed a few words in the chat window: "Did you sleep?"When did you come back home?Annabelle deleted and edited again and again, but in the end, she gave up the idea of initiating contact.And it was 3 o'clock in the morning, even if I sent a message, Kendrick might not see it.She sighed and felt inexplicably irritated, pulling the blanket over her face.On Kendrick's side, he had just finished work and was busy deleting and editing with Annabelle. At that moment, he inexplicably opened her chat window and saw the "typing..." prompt. Kendrick's heart suddenly warmed up.Was she still awake?He waited for a long time, but Annabelle did not send a message. The "typing" indicator was also gone.It was a small matter, but it made Kendrick happy, at least, she thought of him late at night.But why did she hesitate and ultimately not say it? Could it be something like "Let's get divorced"?At the thought of
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the three girls immediately changed their expressions.They had only speculated that Annabelle had connections, as it had not been confirmed.When Annabelle changed her usual gentle and quiet appearance, she really showed her sharp fangs to them, and the three girls showed surprise, with two timid ones even directly showing fear."We didn't say anything about you..." the short person was about to explain, but was pulled back by her best friend."Is it impressive to have someone to rely on?" The girl with long hair raised her pointed chin, looking arrogant. "Aren't you just relying on your looks? Once men get tired of playing with you, what do you think you are? Just a pair of worn-out shoes!"Annabelle glanced coldly at the girl."Even if I attracted men with my looks, it's because I had them. You are different."After saying that, she threw the tissue she had wiped her hands with into
After the three of them left, Annabelle breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her injured lower back with her hand before finally leaving the restroom.Actually, Annabelle knew that when it came to fighting, with her small build, she couldn't even beat one person, let alone three.But she was abandoned by her parents since she was young, and she had to rely on herself for everything. So when danger was inevitable, she would never back down, just like a small animal that is fragile but would fight desperately to protect itself.It was already evening, and the classmates had already finished their dinner and returned to their dormitories.Annabelle had no dormitory to return to, and there were no interesting classes in the evening, so naturally she planned to go straight home.Just arrived at the entrance, I saw a familiar white sports car.Puzzled, I saw a pair of long legs of a man stepping down from the car.Fabian, dressed in a navy
Annabelle shook her head, "I had a lot of things to do over here.""Could it be that you can't bear to part with Kendrick?" Fabian asked jokingly.Her face turned red all of a sudden, "How is that possible!""Just kidding," Fabian sighed, "But I also expected that you wouldn't come with me, so consider this meal today as my way of practicing, can't refuse it, right?"Annabelle smiled helplessly and said, "I really can't do anything with you."Afterwards, Fabian brought Annabelle to Grand Hotel.Two handsome men and two beautiful women walked in, instantly attracting the attention of many people.Fabian, being a designer himself, had a unique sense of style in his dressing, which immediately caught the attention of many women.Annabelle couldn't help but joke, "Every time I go out with you, I feel pressured. It's like those women could eat me alive."Fabian laughed and said, "With me around, who would dare to touch you."
Kendrick's face turned cold, and he didn't look at Annabelle and Fabian again. Since she had made her choice, he didn't want to be the one hanging on anymore.Mr. Wang sipped his wine and looked at Kendrick's expression.This person was a mastermind and also an experienced player in the world of romance. Just now, he noticed that Kendrick had been staring at the back of that girl, lost in thought. The intense gaze he had was a typical expression of a man wanting to possess that woman.Based on Mr. Wang's many years of experience in the dating scene, he could confirm that the aloof and unapproachable Mr. Gregory was absolutely smitten with the girl he had just seen.He was thinking about how to flatter Kendrick, when suddenly a bright idea came to him.Mr. Frye immediately came up with an idea and borrowed an excuse to go to the restroom. He made a phone call to his subordinates and gave them some instructions. Afterward, he returned to continue dri
Jaime didn't know that the person brought by Mr. Frye was Annabelle. At this moment, he could only sigh silently. He could tell that the president's wife was a bit cold and stubborn, but she had a kind heart and was a good girl. These days, she had been silently caring for the president.Jaime had originally thought of having the opportunity to persuade the president, but little did he expect that the president would do something to apologize to Mrs. Gregory like this!But as an assistant, he could only silently complain about Mr. Gregory being a jerk and couldn't do much else.Kendrick sat calmly on the edge of the bed for a moment, suppressing the desire burning inside him. He walked to the bathroom, soaked a towel in cold water, and returned to the bedside to gently wipe Annabelle's face.No matter how much his body protested, Kendrick had not lost his sanity. Even if he still desired her, he would not do such a thing to her in this situation.W
Annabelle's lips glistened with soup, making them appear shiny. Kendrick's eyes deepened a shade.I wanted to kiss her.The moment the evil thought arose, Kendrick also thought of a way to administer the medicine.He held Annabelle and whispered, "If you don't take your medicine obediently, I will have to resort to extreme measures."Annabelle still kept her eyes tightly closed, with a slight frown on her forehead.Kendrick took a sip of medicine and kissed her lips.The first dose of medicine was successfully administered.Kendrick pulled away from her lips. After that kiss, he felt like he was about to explode.Looking at the little woman in my arms again, I wondered if it was because she had taken medicine, as a charming blush appeared on her pale face.Kendrick couldn't help but chuckle. You disobedient little white wolf, you fell asleep and obediently let me kiss you. Usually, even when I hold your hand, you glare a
As soon as Annabelle heard Kendrick's voice, her tightened heart relaxed a little."Kendrick, are my eyes... blind?"This was the problem she was most worried about.Kendrick's eyes darkened, then he smiled faintly and said, "No, it was washed off in time, and it will fully recover after a period of rest."His voice was deep and gentle, as his large palm lightly caressed her shoulder, soothing her emotions.But Annabelle felt uneasy, she smelled alcohol at that time, and it was very pungent. She suspected that Lisa had splashed something on her face, most likely something like industrial alcohol.And that kind of thing contained formaldehyde, which could cause blindness."Are you comforting me?""Of course not, besides, how long can I deceive you with such a thing?"Annabelle thought for a moment and realized that if she had really gone blind, she would have known soon enough. Kendrick had no reason to lie about it.
Annabelle heard footsteps coming from the hallway, and she wanted to shout for help.Lisa immediately covered her mouth and said sinisterly, "I had already placed the maintenance sign, no one will come to save you."Annabelle's heart sank, and at the same time, she felt a deep regret. Why didn't she let Kendrick come when he offered to accompany her just now?Could Kendrick detect that she was in danger in time?She couldn't see anything because her eyes were too painful, and she had almost no resistance. She only vaguely felt herself being dragged into a restroom cubicle by Lisa."I will ruin your face right now and see if you can still seduce men."Lisa gritted her teeth and finished speaking, then took out a dagger and stabbed Annabelle in the face.Annabelle immediately went to block with her hand, "You ruined me, Kendrick won't let you get away with this!""Hahaha... Since I dared to do this, I was no longer afraid of anyt
Annabelle thought Kendrick was in the same mood as her, so she handed him her phone.Kendrick flipped through and said lightly, "I don't like houses that others have lived in. Let's not consider Violet Villa anymore. Let's find another neighborhood.""No one has ever lived in it; it has been empty since it was bought.""Did you believe it just because someone said they haven't lived here before?"Annabelle pouted and couldn't continue the conversation."Do you really want to move next to Gauge's house?" Kendrick couldn't help but ask.Annabelle thought to herself, "Why does Kendrick always ask like this?""I simply liked the environment of that neighborhood.""Perhaps you liked other places as well.""Are you really not going to buy?" Annabelle frowned in frustration.Kendrick took a deep breath and looked at her in front of him. At that moment, he realized how deeply this little woman had been moved.If he
Annabelle understood the reason, but she had thin skin and couldn't bear his constant teasing."Are you really going or not?" Annabelle asked, her face turning red.Kendrick sighed helplessly and didn't tease her anymore. Afterward, the two of them went out together.Because Annabelle loved to eat fish, Kendrick took her to the best traditional restaurant in Elfhedge, the Coastal View Restaurant, where the fish fillet was very famous.Annabelle remembered that Kamila had said that Coastal View Restaurant was expensive and always fully booked. She said that if you wanted to eat there, you had to make a reservation three months in advance. She also mentioned how delicious the fish fillet was, and as she spoke, Kamila's mouth watered, imagining the day when she could indulge in a meal at Coastal View Restaurant."How long did you wait to book a seat?" Annabelle asked."I made a phone call and made a reservation.""Isn't it supposed to ta
"Hey Kendrick!"Annabelle stood up and was about to snatch her paper back, but Kendrick immediately pressed his hand on top of her head."Wait a moment, let me check."Annabelle immediately shook her head, freeing herself from his grasp.Then Kendrick took the pen from her hand, looked at the bitten pen barrel, and frowned as he rubbed it on his own clothes. "What's wrong with this, it's like being in elementary school, aren't you afraid of bacteria?"Annabelle, who was being looked down upon, felt extremely embarrassed and slightly annoyed. "What we are learning now is different from what you learned ten years ago. You probably won't understand."Kendrick glanced at her, feeling upset after being criticized, and then attacked her age."Do you think I have gotten old?"Annabelle gave a faint smile and said, "I dare not."Kendrick clicked his tongue, clearly expressing his disdain."Do you know that older men are t
Annabelle was slightly taken aback and thought that Gauge was probably just joking, so she smiled and said, "Of course, it would be great to be neighbors with you."But she was not a person who was enthusiastic about socializing, so the real reason she liked the neighborhood was because of the natural wetland ecological area where the neighborhood was located.But it's no use saying anything now, the house has already been sold, we can't just snatch it back from someone else's hands."Don't worry, I will help you find a solution.""Hmm? What method do you have?"Gauge smiled faintly and said, "Although all the houses have been sold, the occupancy rate in the community is not high. Perhaps someone wants to sell. I will ask for you and give you a reply tonight."Annabelle nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay," also thanking him for his help.Gauge looked at her dim eyes, which brightened up a little bit. His mood instantly turned better, a
The butler was taken aback. It turned out that Sir Murphy had been so enthusiastic towards Mrs. Gregory earlier because he wanted to invite her to be a spokesperson."It's probably not very appropriate. She is the young lady of the Gregory family, how could she easily show up, especially as the brand ambassador for the Murphy Group."Simon nodded silently, "But I feel like only she is suitable."After leaving the Murphy's residence, Annabelle was in a good mood.Kendrick didn't bother her, and he also didn't expect Gauge's father to be so kind and enthusiastic.Especially when leaving, she even said that she could come and visit often in the future, making her feel like she suddenly gained an additional biological family.She opened the car window, letting a gentle breeze from outside blow in. She also thought about what Kendrick had said earlier, that he would be moving over here next week. This made her feel even more excited.But t
Kendrick voluntarily put an end to the annoying "paper revision" topic that had been bothering him, and then expressed gratitude to Gauge for his previous help, before deciding to leave.However, before he could even get up, Simon asked Annabelle several questions.Kendrick couldn't leave immediately, so he calmly listened to how his wife would respond.As Annabelle answered, she pondered how Gauge's father suddenly became interested in her affairs.Just because she was his son's friend?Her fingers were almost numb from Kendrick's pinching.This guy was jealous. He saw Gauge's father caring for her as if he cared for his future daughter-in-law. When they went out for a while, would Kendrick take matters into his own hands and punish her on the spot?So Simon asked enthusiastically, and Annabelle answered nervously.In my free time, I would read books and practice playing the piano.I didn't dislike traveling, but I pref
Kendrick came to the Murphy's residence today to personally thank Gauge, as it was indeed thanks to Gauge that day.Secondly, it was also to let Simon know that Annabelle was his wife.Simon, being conservative and straightforward by nature, absolutely did not want his son to have too much intimate contact with Mrs. Gregory. Even if Gauge had any crooked intentions towards Annabelle in the future, as long as Simon was there to keep him in check, he would not dare to act recklessly.But why did he feel like Simon also liked Annabelle? Could it be that he was trying to help his son snatch her away?Thinking about this, Kendrick felt a wave of annoyance in his heart.However, he immediately dismissed this absurd speculation. Simon was definitely not a person without discretion. Sending an antique vase and inviting Annabelle as a guest was probably also a way to establish a closer relationship with the Gregory family.Annabelle was really surpri
