I wish it were you Chapter 883 A Whole Day Just for Her
“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
Last Updated : 2025-04-21I wish it were you Chapter 886 Sis, Don’t Talk Nonsense
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. He directly grabbed her two small str
Last Updated : 2025-04-21I wish it were you Chapter 889 Can’t Really Be Called Love
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

Julissa blinked in disbelief.“Wait, you got dumped? Mr. Nichols, you were someone’s backup plan?”Scott’s expression darkened immediately.“Is it really that hard to believe? You almost dumped me just now.”“…Fair point,” Julissa scratched her head sheepishly, a guilty smile playing at her lips.But after hearing the story, the knot in her chest loosened a little.In fact, she couldn’t help but feel just a little sorry for him.A first love that lasted barely two weeks… only to find out you were just a pawn?That was rough.Especially considering they hadn’t even held hands—and yet Yvette had the audacity to claim their relationship had been deep and meaningful? Julissa mentally scoffed.But then again… if Scott had never kissed her, didn’t that mean she had stolen his first kiss?Wait, no. Just because he didn’t get anywhere with Yvette didn’t mean he hadn’t dated others.Hadn’t he once mentioned… something about renting a hotel room with a stranger?Just thinking about it again mad

I wish it were you Chapter 940 Desire Fades
Seraphina understood exactly what Dereon meant—he was suggesting she sleep with the Young Master.But would sleeping with him really make him love her more?Seraphina knew very well: the reason the Young Master still had some affection for her was precisely because she knew her place and respected boundaries.She didn’t want to do anything that might make him hate her.Looking out the cabin window, Seraphina said calmly, “If the Young Master wanted me, of course I’d be willing… but I’m not going to take the initiative to do something so unnecessary.”“How is it unnecessary?!”Dereon slapped his thigh in frustration. Blood was still trickling down his forehead, running past his brow and onto his nose, making him look a little frightening. But his expression was that of a sleazy pimp, and Seraphina found it laughable.“You don’t have to convince me,” she said. “I have my own thoughts on this.”“Seraphina, you don’t understand men,” Dereon lowered his voice. “If you can hold on to the Yo

Ryan said, “That wasn’t the best opportunity just now.”“Why not?”Ryan rubbed his temples in exhaustion. “Can you use your brain before asking questions?”Seraphina quickly jumped in, “Dereon, didn’t you see that Gauge was also there?”“So what if Gauge was there?” Dereon retorted. “That kid clearly can’t fight.”Seraphina patiently explained.First, the Young Master didn’t hide his movements on this trip to South City. Running into Kendrick here was purely by chance.They weren’t prepared. Acting rashly could have led to failure.Even if they succeeded, since their movements weren’t concealed, it would be easy for the Gregory family to trace the incident back to them. And that old man from the Gregory family is no pushover.Second, Gauge was present. He’s friends with both Kendrick and Annabelle. There’s no way he’d stand by and do nothing.If Gauge got dragged into the mess, the Young Master would be making an enemy out of the Murphy family for no reason.The the Whitney Group is j
I wish it were you Chapter 938 You Must Leave
A private jet bound for Elfhedge took off smoothly from the South City airport.Inside the cabin, Annabelle was lying in a luxurious bedroom.Ryan stepped out of the room and said to Seraphina, who was standing outside the door, “She was poisoned by a type of floral toxin. It causes hallucinations and unconsciousness. She's fine now. Go get a clean set of clothes for her. I’ll help her change.”“It’s already prepared,” Seraphina’s gaze flickered slightly. She tightened her grip on the clothes in her hand and lowered her head. “Young Master, let me do it. This dress is a bit tricky to put on…”Ryan glanced at the dress in her hands, then looked deeply into her eyes. After a moment, he let out a bitter laugh. “Alright… if Anna knew I changed her clothes, she’d probably hate me even more.”Seraphina said nothing. Once Ryan stepped aside, she walked in with her head lowered.She carefully helped Annabelle out of her soiled clothes and put on the dress she had brought with her for the trip
I wish it were you Chapter 937 Hallucination
Anna shook her head and smiled. “Nothing really. Let me do the cleaning—you’re definitely not as meticulous as I am. You go wait outside.”“No need…”“Go on, I’ll take care of it.”Annabelle was firm and took the duster from Gauge’s hand.But Gauge didn’t leave. How could he let a girl do the work while he waited outside enjoying the breeze?So the two of them cleaned together.While cleaning the room, Annabelle felt oddly emotional. Her mind was flooded with thoughts.Who was the woman who had once lived here? What kind of story did she have? What kind of mood had she been in when she left the village to live in solitude by the sea?As she wiped the mirror on the vanity, she could almost picture a woman sitting there, grooming herself in days long past.She must have been someone melancholic, yet strong-willed.A sudden wave of sadness welled up from deep within Annabelle’s heart.She couldn’t help but laugh at herself. Am I too empathetic? Why else would she feel so much for a compl
I wish it were you Chapter 936 Who Is She?
“Let’s go,” Gauge called out to her.Annabelle snapped out of her thoughts and walked toward the small wooden cabin.Gauge pointed to a patch of land behind the cabin and said that it used to be a small garden. There had once been a large tree with a wide canopy, and his father had installed a swing on one of its sturdy horizontal branches.Back then, his father often sat alone inside the cabin, sipping a couple of drinks.Meanwhile, Gauge would sit outside on the swing, watching the sea and listening to music.Looking at the now overgrown garden, Gauge showed a hint of melancholy.“Unfortunately, the big tree was cut down later, and since no one took care of the garden, it fell into disrepair. When my dad came here last year, he said he regretted not being able to maintain it.”Annabelle listened quietly. It seemed Murphy's father had deeply cared about whoever used to live here.Gauge had said before that he wasn’t sure if the person was a man or a woman—he just guessed it was a wom
I wish it were you Chapter 935 The Big Boss Is Sick
Annabelle transformed visibly from a sweet little bunny into a puffed-up pufferfish, cheeks bulging with frustration.She got up to leave, but Kendrick pulled her back into his arms. He poked her puffed cheeks and chuckled,"You're really that scared someone’s going to steal me away?""If you could be stolen that easily, then you’re not worth liking."Annabelle wasn’t insecure to the point where a single text message from Kendrick would make her suspicious.But it was late, and the sudden calls and texts clearly meant something was going on.Still… she had to admit, she was just a tiny bit jealous."You jealous of Jaime too? I was on the phone with him," Kendrick laughed as he handed over his phone so she could see the call log.Annabelle glanced at it—sure enough, the call happened while she was playing the guitar. The corners of her lips twitched upward, but she still insisted stubbornly,"I said I was just casually asking."Kendrick then pulled up their group chat—the one with Jaim
I wish it were you Chapter 934 Hopelessly in Love
Kendrick’s kiss was too passionate—so passionate it was suffocating, instantly awakening every cell in Annabelle’s body.His kiss was also too forceful—so forceful that Annabelle forgot to resist, and didn't want to resist.Because when Kendrick desired her so intensely, she too was equally, fiercely craving him.It suddenly dawned on her—she truly, deeply liked this man above her. She liked his scent, liked his voice, even liked the beads of sweat trickling down his spine.When did she fall this hard?Maybe it started back when they were ambushed and narrowly escaped death… when they lived in the hospital together… when she risked falling just to climb over the balcony and see him.When she brought herself to his bed, faced her feelings for the first time, and accepted him both emotionally and physically—she had already fallen.As for her heart… it had been open to him long before that.Maybe it started with his first kiss. From that moment, her heart had already begun to waver—she j
I wish it were you Chapter 933 Mr. Gregory Is So Wronged
After his cold shower, Kendrick returned to the room and climbed into bed, but he still felt a bit restless.He gazed at the little woman for a while. She looked exhausted.Not wanting to wake her, he gently pulled her nightdress down and tucked the blanket securely around her.Then he turned around, facing away from her, closed his eyes, and tried to sleep.But in the twenty-something-degree room, Annabelle, now wrapped like a little cocoon, soon got uncomfortable and kicked the blanket off again.Not only that—she rolled over and draped her arm around Kendrick’s waist, hugging him from behind.Maybe because Kendrick’s body was still slightly cool from the cold shower, Annabelle loved the chilly "big body pillow" and even pressed her warm little face against his back.While tightly hugging her “old fox,” she continued her dream, still playing chess with the god of dreams.Kendrick let out a long sigh and gently held the hand around his waist, playfully tickling her palm.She didn’t w
I wish it were you Chapter 932 I Believe in Love Again
Kendrick chuckled helplessly. “She really doesn’t use her phone much, so there’s no need to worry about her finding out on her own.”He’d seen Anna’s phone interface before—it was mostly filled with practical apps like dictionaries and period trackers. The usual social media apps? She had tucked them all away in a folder labeled "Rarely Used."Thinking of his quirky little wife, Kendrick’s mood lightened significantly.Of course, he knew that in this internet era, Anna might eventually come across the gossip herself. That’s why he hoped, by the time she did, he would have already taken care of everything.Then, when she found out, she’d know exactly where the "arrow" came from—and see clearly what became of the person who fired it.That way, she wouldn’t feel too anxious or wronged. At most, she’d just complain about how shameless the rumor-spreader was.It was the best way Kendrick could think of to minimize the harm.“Alright. I promise,” Gauge said solemnly.“Then that’s all,” Kend
