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. "He made a commitment to you. So even if he wanted to get back together with me, he would suppress i

    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

    Before Julissa could reach the door, Scott grabbed her wrist. With a slight tug, he pulled her back in front of him."I haven't agreed yet, and you just say we're breaking up?""Then should I wait for you to dump me?"Julissa broke free from his hand and was about to walk out again, but Scott directly hugged her from behind."At least give me a reason," he said almost against Julissa's face. "Why do you suddenly not want me anymore?"His voice also sounded very aggrieved, and Julissa was almost on the verge of giving in.Perhaps men like him—who are half-hearted—are very good at saying such pitiful words. Maybe he is sincere and likes every woman, which is why he is so reluctant to part with her.But Julissa doesn't want to be just one of his favorite women. She wants to be his only one."Because you're a big scumbag! Let me go!"Julissa was like an irritable little pigeon, fluttering non-stop in Scott's arms.Scott was pushed to the limit by her.

    Julissa was both scared and angry after hearing those words—mostly because Scott didn’t sound like he was joking.The worst part was that she was the one who was heartbroken, and now she had to back down? How was that fair?“Fine, we won’t break up,” she said, “but we need to talk.”Only then did Scott get up. He helped her put her dress back on and tidied up his own appearance.Worried she might run again, he wisely went over and locked the door to the lounge room before returning to the sofa.He pulled the deflated little dove of a girl back onto his lap.“Alright, tell me—who told you about Yvette?”Julissa was fuming, but sitting on his lap, she didn’t dare provoke him further. So she explained obediently.“She told me herself. When you were talking business with the partners, Yvette came to the company. She said you two used to date and that she wants to get back together.She also said you’re tempted but hesitant because you’re already with me, and you don’t want to hurt me.So

    Annabelle felt ticklish and giggled, swatting his hand lightly. “Lie still for a while, or I won’t keep you company.”Only then did Mr. Gregory purse his lips and obediently stop moving.If Anna hadn’t just recovered from a serious illness, and if he himself weren’t still weak right now, otherwise…Sigh! Kendrick let out a gloomy sigh, burying his face in the crook of her neck.After a moment, he asked, “By the way, did your young master say what exactly caused your fainting and shock?”Annabelle glanced at him with amusement. Every time he said your young master, she could smell the thick scent of jealousy wafting off him—but it was kind of cute, his little petty streak.So she repeated everything Ryan had told her, word for word.Kendrick listened carefully and didn’t comment much afterward. He only said, “Looks like you just had bad luck and ran into a poisonous flower.”Annabelle then brought up the scene at the little beach cabin, saying she was curious about what kind of woman h

    In Annabelle’s eyes, Kendrick had made the best possible decision at the time—he had put her safety above all else and didn’t let pride get in the way by refusing the young master’s help.It was this kind of maturity and rationality that had always drawn her to Kendrick, giving her a deep sense of grounded security by his side.Looking at the petite woman in front of him, Kendrick suddenly didn’t know what to say.The guilt that had been gnawing at him for the past two days… was completely dissolved by a few simple, gentle words from his little bunny.Especially the phrase “You’re my husband.” That alone was more healing than ten IV drips.Without warning, he rolled over and pinned Anna onto the bed, kissing her more assertively, expressing his feelings in a far more direct way.Annabelle started pounding on his chest with little muffled sounds of protest.This man was crazy! If he kept moving like this, the IV line would come loose!But even sick, Kendrick was much stronger than she

    Annabelle looked like she'd been caught red-handed, flustered and wide-eyed, staring at Kendrick at such a close distance.He, too, had his eyes slightly open, emotions deep and complex pooling within them.The anxiety and torment he’d endured these past two days—it all seemed to be captured in that one gaze.Kendrick moved the hand that had been resting on her back up to cradle the back of her head, and kissed her even deeper.Annabelle slowly closed her eyes, not daring to move, afraid of tugging at his IV line and causing the needle to slip out.Of course, she didn’t want to pull away either…So, what started as Kendrick kissing her forcefully ended up with her being more proactive and passionate instead.Coco, lazily glancing at the two people locked in an intense kiss, yawned, jumped off the bed, and followed the scent of its cat food to go find Uncle Trey.The little white cat trotted to the door, jumped up at the handle, hooked its front paws around it just right, then used its

    "I'm heading over now."Just as Annabelle was about to hang up the phone, she heard Uncle Trey call out again, “Young Madam, wait a moment!”She brought the phone back to her ear. “What is it?”“When you come from home, could you bring Coco’s food and litter box? Young Master brought the cat over the night before last, but he didn’t bring any of its stuff. I’ve been too busy to go pick them up myself. It’s not starving or anything, but the poor thing has nowhere to go to the bathroom. It’s been squatting in the big flower pot every day…”Annabelle: “…”A vivid image popped into her mind—Coco tucked awkwardly under Kendrick’s arm, eyes wide with panic, meowing nonstop in complaint the entire way.She could just imagine it—one big, one small, both of them looking lost and homeless, wandering around like pitiful strays.But no matter how disoriented they were, how could they forget the cat food and litter?!Annabelle quickly gathered Coco’s things and drove to the old Gu estate.Just as

    Ryan gave a small nod, unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, and lay down on the bed, quickly falling asleep.Only after hearing his steady breathing did Seraphina return to his side. She carefully removed his outer shirt, then used a warm towel to wipe his face, and then his chest—where the alcohol had spilled. Sleeping like that would definitely be uncomfortable.Finally, she pulled the blanket over him.Seraphina stared at the man in bed for a long time. Then, for the first time, gathering all her courage, she leaned down and placed a light kiss on the lips of the man she loved.He didn’t love her. In his eyes, she probably lacked even a trace of a woman’s charm—perhaps she couldn’t even stir up a shred of desire.But he had given her the utmost respect. Could that be considered a form of caring?Seraphina gently touched his lips with her fingers, her heart full of bitterness, but in the end, she smiled softly.Maybe… that’s enough.…Annabelle had already arrived at the the Grego

    The Young Master was drinking?Seraphina quickly set the breakfast tray on the foyer cabinet and rushed inside. Not seeing him in the outer living room, she headed toward the inner rooms.She paused as she passed through the dining area.The vase had been knocked over, shattered glass scattered all across the floor, and the flowers lay strewn in disarray.Seraphina’s heart pounded. She carefully stepped over the broken shards and headed toward the bedroom.The curtains were drawn tight, casting the room into darkness. The Young Master was sitting on the carpet at the foot of the bed, his head leaned back against the mattress, seemingly asleep.The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, a large alcohol stain spread across the front, and beside him sat an almost-empty bottle of strong liquor.Looking at him like this, Seraphina felt her heart shatter.The Young Master had endured so many blows in his life, but he had never fallen into despair like this. He had always gritted his teet

    The taxi pulled away from the hotel entrance. Annabelle rolled the window up and gave the driver the address of the the Gregory Group headquarters.She turned back to look at Seraphina, who was still standing there at the entrance, gazing in her direction.When Seraphina had said, “Actually, I should be the one thanking you,” her expression had looked sorrowful—with a touch of self-mockery. That made Annabelle even more certain of one thing:Seraphina must have feelings for the Young Master.So she had thanked her… because Annabelle was leaving him.Annabelle suddenly wanted the driver to turn around. She wanted to personally tell Seraphina that she would never fight her for the Young Master. If possible, she’d even be willing to help them get together.But she couldn’t interfere in the Young Master’s love life anymore.That would only be rubbing salt into his wounds.Not willing to be with someone, yet still trying to introduce them to someone else?That wasn’t right. And Annabelle k

    Annabelle’s pale face finally flushed with a hint of red. She covered her stomach in embarrassment and smiled.“I won’t eat—Kendrick must be really worried about me. I want to go back as soon as possible.”With that, she headed back to the bedroom, grabbed her own clean clothes from the bench at the end of the bed, and went into the walk-in closet.It was the summer outfit she had worn back in the small fishing village. Elfhedge’s weather was still far too cold for dresses, but she didn’t want to wait for the Young Master to find her something warmer.All she knew was—Kendrick must be worried sick.And knowing that she was here, with the Young Master… he was surely feeling awful.She had to get back—immediately.Annabelle changed into her clothes and stepped out of the closet. The light summer dress and linen sandals made her look fresh and airy as she walked up to the Young Master.“Young Master, I’m leaving now.”Ryan looked her up and down but didn’t say anything more. He simply re

    The Young Master said it as if he were joking, but Annabelle couldn’t help taking it seriously.He had once given her the courage and will to live. He had spent years meticulously nursing her back to health, restoring her appearance. Even after they reunited, he had saved her life several times.The grace and kindness he had shown her weren’t things that could be repaid with just a few words.So before she met Kendrick, before she accepted his love, Annabelle had always thought—One day, she must repay the Young Master.How?Anything she had, anything he wanted.But now that she was with Kendrick, she could no longer say something like that so casually.She couldn’t betray her commitment to Kendrick just to repay the Young Master,Nor could she forget the Young Master’s kindness just because she had Kendrick now.Her only hope was that the Young Master would ask for something she could give—As long as it wasn’t something like, “Stay with me.”Caught in this internal struggle, Annabel
