Annabelle blinked.

Even on the first day they met, Kendrick had never been this restrained or polite.

This rare display of self-control left her momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

She hesitated for a second before murmuring, “No…”

Kendrick lowered his head again.

Annabelle felt completely shut out.

Clearly, he had no intention of talking.

Or perhaps—he didn’t even want to acknowledge her presence.

Maybe after seeing another man kiss her, he now found her repulsive?

Maybe he didn’t even want to waste another word on her?

She could understand.

If she saw Kendrick being kissed by another woman, she would be just as upset.

She wouldn’t want to talk to him either.

She might not even want him to touch her again.

Annabelle pressed her lips together, turned silently, and walked toward the door.

It seemed like the only option was to let him cool off on his own.

She would explain when he was ready to listen.

But just as she reached the doorway, a cold voice rang out behind her—

“Stop.”

    His voice was hoarse, thick with jealousy, and his eyes burned with rage.It was as if he had been suppressing his emotions for too long, and now, he was finally about to explode.Annabelle stared at him blankly. “I didn’t expect Young Master to suddenly kiss me. It was just a brief kiss, nothing more. I pushed him away—you saw it yourself…”She was telling the truth.But under Kendrick’s piercing gaze, her explanation somehow felt insincere, like a poorly constructed lie.She had initially felt sorry for him.But now, being interrogated like this, she felt both wronged and afraid.Her eyes reddened as she whispered, “If you don’t believe me, you can check the car’s surveillance footage. I didn’t lie to you.”The moment her words fell, Kendrick lowered his head and bit her lips.Pain shot through Annabelle’s lips, followed by the taste of blood.Her eyes widened in shock as she immediately pushed him away. “Kendrick, did you actually bite me?!”Kendrick didn’t respond.His dark eyes l

    Kendrick gazed into Anna’s eyes.Her eyes were red, like a little bunny that had been wronged.Yet, despite her delicate appearance, her gaze was unwavering.Thinking back to how roughly he had kissed her earlier, Kendrick felt even more guilty.He gently kissed the corner of her lips. “Does it still hurt?”As soon as he asked, Annabelle’s face flushed red. “Which part are you asking about…?”Kendrick chuckled. “All of it.”“It all still hurts!” she huffed, full of grievance.Kendrick kissed her again. “Then let’s go to bed and take it slow…”Annabelle lowered her eyes, her cheeks burning as she nodded slightly, then wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.Kendrick lifted her from the desk and was about to carry her to the bedroom when she suddenly said, “Wait a second!”“What’s wrong?”“Go the other way—there’s glass here.”Kendrick was stunned for a moment and looked down at the floor.Shards of the broken glass from the cup he had smashed earlier were scattered across the ground.

    Kendrick kissed the back of Anna’s neck. “Be good, sleep now.”Annabelle’s eyelids were already drooping heavily when her phone suddenly vibrated with an incoming message.She propped herself up slightly and reached for her phone on the bedside table.Just as she lit up the screen, before she could even see who the message was from, Kendrick pulled her back into his arms.Her phone was swiftly taken away and tucked under his pillow.“Be a good girl and sleep. No checking your phone.”“I just want to see who messaged me. It could be important.”Kendrick, looking particularly sour, responded, “If it were really important, they would’ve called. No need to check a text at this hour.”“…”That… kind of made sense.But it was just one message! It’s not like she was planning to scroll through her phone for hours. A quick glance wouldn’t ruin her sleep.“I’ll just take a peek.” Annabelle lay on top of Kendrick, reaching for her phone.However, before she could grab it, he firmly pressed her b

    “You’re not going to the office today?” Annabelle asked.Kendrick replied that things at the company had gradually stabilized, so he no longer needed to work overtime as much as before. That meant he finally had time to properly spend with her.Then, he added with a smile, “So today, I’m all yours, completely at your service.”Annabelle’s face turned red as she pushed him away. All hers? More like she was all his for the day!But hearing that the company was running smoothly, she felt relieved. She had been quietly worrying about him, so this news was a weight off her chest.Since he finally had time to rest, she hoped he could relax at home for a while. “Where are we going later? If you’re tired, we can just stay home and take it easy.”“I’m not tired. You’ll find out when we get there. Sleep a little longer, okay?” Kendrick kissed the corner of her lips before getting out of bed.Annabelle was still a bit sleepy, so she decided to take a short nap.As she closed her eyes, memories o

    Julissa’s face instantly turned red. This guy!—acting all serious while teasing her like this was just too much.She had been thinking about him, but there was no way she’d admit it.So she immediately retorted, telling Scott that he was imagining things. She had simply stayed up too late playing on her phone and ended up with insomnia.Scott gave her a knowing glance but didn’t press the issue. He picked up the documents and was about to leave when Julissa suddenly remembered—she still needed to tell him about moving in with Anna.“Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you—”Before she could finish, Jerry walked in, looking like he had something important to report.Julissa had no choice but to swallow her words. “Forget it, I’ll tell you later.”Scott nodded and left with Jerry, heading into the president’s office.Half an hour later, the business partner arrived and joined them for the meeting. While they were occupied, Julissa handled some emails for Scott. It wasn’t too busy o

    At the mention of Tokyo, Julissa’s heart clenched.Scott had gone on a business trip to Japan for about a month, spending most of that time in Tokyo.Back then, she hadn’t accepted his confession yet. Even when she was hospitalized after getting injured, he hadn’t rushed back immediately.She had always thought he was just busy with work.But… had he actually stayed behind to be with his ex-girlfriend? Was that why he didn’t return?Yet, after he came back, they had officially started dating. Scott had never shown any signs of being unfaithful.Julissa couldn’t make sense of it."You’re surprised and confused," Yvette said, watching her closely. "So you really didn’t know anything.""Then please, tell me, Senior."Her voice remained calm, but in that moment, she felt as if a thin crack had appeared between her and Scott.And cracks—could shatter in an instant.Yvette sighed helplessly.

    Yvette’s words seemed to come from the heart.Even though Julissa had read countless romance novels, she couldn’t simply label Yvette as some manipulative green tea or a white lotus.Because everything Yvette said sounded sincere. She had voiced her fears—her fear that if she waited any longer, Scott would completely leave her behind.Julissa could fully understand her feelings.But… the man they were talking about was Scott.He was her boyfriend.No matter how innocent, pitiful, or genuinely in love this woman claimed to be, her presence here was nothing less than a declaration of war.Yvette wanted her to step aside.But Julissa wasn’t ready to surrender just yet."Are you finished, Senior?"Yvette sighed. "Julissa, I understand how you feel right now. I never wanted to hurt you, but when it comes to love, people become selfish."I can tell—you’re a proud girl. But just because he doesn’t love you doesn’t mean you’re not good enough. You’re just not the right person for him. One day

    Julissa walked into the CEO’s office.Scott was seated in the main spot of the lounge area. He looked up at her with a slight frown.“Something wrong?”Julissa nodded, wanting to say many things, but held them back.There were others in the office—two people from the partner company and Jerry.They were sitting in the lounge area, chatting.In her rush earlier, she had forgotten that Scott was busy.“It’s not urgent. You finish first, I’ll wait here.”With that, she quietly walked to the window and sat at the small side table nearby.It might’ve seemed a little rude, but Julissa had only one thing on her mind now: to wait until Scott finished his meeting, so she could ask him—was there still another woman in his heart?If so, then this relationship—and this job—had no reason to continue.Julissa had no intention of being with a man who was two-timing.Scott chatted a bit more with the partners, then glanced over at her by the window.He could tell from her expression that something se

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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…”
