All Chapters of My Invincible Husband Has Returned: Chapter 1681 - Chapter 1690

Kendrick was clearly just as surprised as Celena was to run into each other. He was also incredibly delighted to discover that the adorable little girl who could always be found just a few steps behind him had blossomed into a beautiful, sophisticated lady!Kendrick locked eyes with Celena, taking in her beautiful face and ravishing figure, and could not help but recall Celena's naive, childish claims of wanting to marry him when they grew up! He had always treated her words as nothing more than an innocuous joke, but now that they finally reunited as adults, his heart fluttered at the thought of this coming true. Celena was no doubt the most drop-dead gorgeous woman he had ever seen, and he was determined to make her his wife!A glimmer of lust flashed across Kendrick's face, and he raised his glass to Celena's. "Celena, it's been a long time since we last met. Have you been doing well?"Celena clinked her glass against his in a friendly toast and took a small sip of her drink. A

Kendrick glanced down at Cheryl's arm, which was draped lovingly around his, but did not say anything. Instead, he allowed Cheryl to continue holding him and replied, smiling, "Of course I remember you, Cheryl. How can someone possibly forget such a gorgeous woman like you?""You're just as I remember you, Kendrick, always exaggerating everything! What are you doing here anyway?" Cheryl giggled at this. Although she feigned modesty, one could tell by the glee on her face that she was secretly enjoying Kendrick's attention.The Stones and the Hydes were next-door neighbors, and Cheryl, being only a few years younger than Celena and Kendrick, always used to totter around behind them eagerly as children. Unfortunately, Kendrick was so enamored by Celena at that time that he had never given Cheryl so much as a glance.If anything, perhaps Kendrick's preference for Celena over her had formed a pivotal foundation of her hatred toward Celena. Cheryl had fallen for Kendrick back then and

Celena was so taken aback by Kendrick's sudden declaration of love that she stood there, rooted to the spot, as though she had been struck by lightning. It took her a few moments to finally snap out of her stupor, but by that time, Kendrick's erratic behavior had already earned some strange glances from the guests closest to them.Celena, pale with fear and panic, quickly drew her hand out of Kendrick's grasp and said, "Kendrick, I have no idea what you're talking about! As I mentioned, those were just harmless jokes, I…"Kendrick, I hope you understand that I'm now married. I love my husband very much, and I've only ever thought of you as a brother… Please don't do this…"Sensing everyone's gaze burning in the back of her head, Celena turned and fled.Kendrick would not allow the love of his life to get away, so he chased after her like a moth to a flame, leaving Cheryl standing there alone. Her face contorted into an ugly snarl as she watched Celena and Kendrick disappear from vi

Kendrick seemed to grow more and more agitated with every word. The thought of Celena bringing up Liam again made him so outraged that he reached out to claw at Celena's arm."Kendrick, you… Please… please calm down…" Celena was utterly alarmed to see Kendrick like this. Her first instinct was to dodge him, but the moment she turned around, she realized that she had inadvertently backed into a corner of the room, and there was nowhere for her to run!Celena closed her eyes in terror, anticipating Kendrick's fingers grappling onto her, but to her surprise, they never came.That was because just as Kendrick was about to pounce, he was shoved aside by someone behind him whom he could not see.Kendrick staggered and almost tripped, but the moment he steadied himself, he whipped around, his eyes ablaze with fury. "What the f*ck? Who did it?" he bellowed.The moment he laid eyes on the person behind him, he scowled, for it turned out to be Liam, who was already glowering at him.Celena

"I agree! How uncivilized he is, to resort to violence as a solution to every problem! We're all respectable civilians, and should not be behaving like barbarians!""Couldn't have said it better myself! Absolutely vile! I don't understand how Celena could've fallen for such a brute! Isn't she at all afraid he would lay hands on her someday?""Mr. Hyde is such a gentleman! Look at the way he's gazing at Celena! How soft and tender! I don't know what's gotten into Celena. Any sane person would know who to choose!"These murmurs and chatters revolved around the pair of men, but they were all unequivocally rooting for Kendrick. The women, in particular, seemed exceptionally impressed by Kendrick's display of courtesy and kept gazing at him, awestruck.Celena, on the other hand, did not know what to make of this situation. Nevertheless, Kendrick's plan had worked, for his gracious attitude had made Liam look absolutely barbaric in comparison, and this infuriated Celena greatly.She tur
