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.

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
Kendrick saw Annabelle furrowing her brows slightly, with her eyes still closed, and realized that she was sleep talking.I don't know what I dreamt about, but I shouted his name. In any case, Kendrick was in a very happy mood."I was Kendrick, not someone who changed." Even though Kendrick didn't know what Annabelle meant, he still responded to her.Afterwards, Annabelle whispered a few more words and then unexpectedly turned around, wrapping her arms around his waist and nestling in his embrace.Kendrick took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and thought to himself, "Alright, Anna, you've tormented me so much. In the future, I will make sure to get it all back from you."When Annabelle truly woke up, it was already past seven in the morning. The sky was already bright, but the room was still dim with the curtains drawn.As she opened her eyes, she immediately felt a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and turned around in fear.In t
Annabelle almost blurted out, temporarily forgetting about the argument with Kendrick the previous night. Normally composed, she frantically started searching for clothes, with her mind set on going out to buy medicine.Kendrick saw her with red eyes and a helpless look, as if she was truly panicked."Don't you want to have a baby with me?"He pulled her back into his arms, but Annabelle struggled like an irritable little bird wanting to break free.Having been in a coma the previous night, she was weak at the moment. In addition, Kendrick was much stronger than her, so she couldn't break free and ended up swearing."Kendrick, you... you beast!"This was the first time Kendrick had been scolded like this by someone, but instead of getting angry, he felt very refreshed.And he always felt like it was a playful banter between lovers, making him really want to be a little beastly."Anna, you are the first person who dares to insul
"What are you doing?" Annabelle nervously stepped back.Kendrick couldn't help but scratch her nose. "What's there to be nervous about? Just tell me, is there anything you need to buy? I'll bring it back for you."Annabelle stared at him, pouting, and said, "I don't need it."Obviously, still angry because of his prank just now, Kendrick smiled helplessly. Usually, she seemed calm, but now it seems that she still has the heart of a little girl.As Kendrick left, only Annabelle remained. She relaxed and looked around, curious about the kind of house this guy had been living in recently.It has to be said that this presidential suite is actually equivalent to a luxurious apartment, and obviously it is specially prepared for Kendrick, because there are many exclusive decorations for him in the room, such as the painting on the wall, which is clearly his favorite abstract style.At that moment, she noticed a new photo being placed on his desk, c
Annabelle's face turned red. Well, it's indeed not appropriate to let others buy underwear for you."Isn't it time for you to change?" Kendrick's lips curled into a slight smile.Annabelle felt that if there was a crack in the ground, she would definitely crawl into it.This is really embarrassing.She darted into the bathroom and quickly changed into clean underwear, but she kept hesitating and feeling embarrassed to come out.In my mind, I wondered what mood Kendrick was in when he bought her these things...And why did he buy this pink one?Annabelle carefully thought about it, could it be because he saw that her underwear was pink?She covered her face and, after a moment, moved her hands away from her face.Silly me, I was so preoccupied with being shy that I forgot about the important matter!Why did I inexplicably find myself in his suite, with my clothes all changed?And, the strangest thing was, wh
The mood of President's assistant Jaime also fluctuated. An assistant who doesn't care about the happiness of the president's marriage is not a good driver. Jaime is also a person with strong principles. The previous day, he secretly cursed his boss as worse than a beast. But this morning, he learned the truth and felt extremely relieved.Originally, Mr. Frye accidentally sent the president's wife away.No wonder the president was so angry. After all, Mr. Frye made a big mistake and accidentally injured the president's wife, and the president was obviously a doting husband.Anyway, it's all good now. The two of them finally made up.On Annabelle's side, however, she was still hiding under the blanket like an ostrich.She was not actually that kind of person.She used to be a calm and capable woman who could handle any situation, but ever since she encountered Kendrick, she has reverted back to her original state and everything has been spira
"What?" Annabelle exclaimed, feeling embarrassed, she turned her head angrily to look at him."You have a bruise on your waist, did you hit something?"Kendrick spoke and lightly touched there with his finger.Annabelle hissed, "Ouch!"Immediately, she remembered that she had bumped into those three girls the day before in the school restroom when she had a conflict with them.Originally, when she woke up in the morning, her waist was sore and painful. It was because of this injury, coupled with the fact that she always experiences back pain during her menstrual period. That's why she mistakenly thought that Kendrick had done something to her last night.With that, Annabelle felt relieved."It's nothing, I accidentally bumped into the cabinet."She said as she put on her pajama jacket again, covering her waist injury.Kendrick looked at her face and said seriously, "Do you not know that when you lie, you keep blinking yo
Annabelle suddenly sat on his lap.The two bodies were tightly pressed together, Kendrick's suit exuding a restrained sensuality, and Annabelle's face turned red."Kendrick, what are you doing again? I just got my period!"The little woman stared with round eyes, as if suddenly showing him sharp claws."Why do you always keep thinking about that? I never said I wanted anything from you," Kendrick laughed mischievously.Annabelle's face turned even redder. How did she keep thinking about that thing?"Accompany me to have breakfast, and later I will take you to school.""Got it," Annabelle said, standing up straight and leaving Kendrick's embrace.This person, just eats breakfast and eats breakfast, is it necessary to hug her every now and then!Afterwards, the two of them arrived at the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.When having breakfast, Kendrick asked Annabelle about her feeling cold in the palace.
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
