Semua Bab I wish it were you: Bab 531 - Bab 540

Annabelle immediately realized something was wrong because this wasn't the smell of Kendrick.She raised her head and saw Marvin's melancholy eyes. His chin was tense as he stared at her.Marvin didn't want to miss any of her expressions. He clearly saw that the moment Annabelle saw his face, there was a flash of disappointment in her eyes, and also a trace of panic.That trace of panic made Marvin feel excited.So, could he also stir up a little ripple in her heart?"It's you. Thank you... I'm sorry..."Annabelle quickly broke free from him, wrapped the bathrobe tightly around her, and stood barefoot in front of the tall and straight Marvin. She felt a bit embarrassed about what had just happened."Long time no see." He stood in front of Annabelle and looked down at her.Annabelle smiled and nodded, feeling that the air was filled with an awkward atmosphere."How have you been recently? Wilson said that you were ill.""I'm all right now," Annabelle didn't want to be alone with Marvin

The lounge here wasn’t just a semi-open room but a tatami tea room, quite elegant and serene. As soon as Annabelle saw the arrangement and decor of the room, she guessed that this must be Grandpa’s private tea room. She quickly said to Kendrick, “I’m still wet, I’ll get Grandpa’s tatami wet!”Kendrick raised the corner of his lips. “It’s fine, I’m dry now. You can sit on me.”Annabelle’s face flushed immediately.Without another word, Kendrick scooped her up and sat her down on the tatami, kissing her.His warm and large hand pressed gently on the back of her neck, making it impossible for her to move. She could also feel that he was already on edge, but he was holding back.It was probably because this was Grandpa's tea room, or perhaps because her health check results hadn’t come out yet, so they weren’t sure whether they could be together in that way.Even without going that far, Kendrick’s kiss was already overwhelming for Annabelle.Because he wasn’t just kissing her lips...Afte

"No, I actually feel like I’ve gained weight," Annabelle responded with a smile.Ariana also smiled, subtly nudging Cael with her elbow.Cael looked surprised for a moment, his gaze fixing on her face.He then nodded, as if signaling for her not to rush.He set down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and casually asked Kendrick, “By the way, aren’t you two planning to have a baby?”Ariana immediately cleared her throat exaggeratedly, serving Cael some vegetables, urging him to enjoy his meal. She also said, “Kendrick, brother, whenever you want to have a child, it’s definitely planned. Don’t worry about it.”But the mention of children caught Grandpa’s attention.The elderly man looked at Ariana and Cael’s vague behavior, raising an eyebrow.“Ariana, why not let young Yang ask?”“Oh, no! It’s just that I thought sister-in-law didn’t want children, so I didn’t want to bring up something like that,” Ariana quickly responded.Annabelle, listening to Ariana’s reply, pursed her lips. This

Annabelle chatted with her grandfather for a while about her endorsement of Lin's Jewelry. Grandpa Gregory reminded her to work hard but not to overwork herself. He also told her that, in the workplace, she would inevitably encounter all kinds of people. Even though everyone knew she was the young mistress of the Gregory family, there might still be some people plotting behind her back. If she ever faced unfair treatment, she shouldn’t be afraid to stand up for herself.His careful advice made Annabelle feel a little emotional. In her grandfather's eyes, she was still a child without much social experience. But since she was ten, she had lost her family's protection. If she hadn’t learned how to protect herself, she might not even be alive today. The current her was no longer the Annabelle who could be easily bullied."Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll take care of myself," she reassured him.Grandpa Gregory nodded in response. Just then, the head chef brought out a new dish. Grandpa invited

The sounds of the couple’s intimacy outside were enough to make Annabelle feel so embarrassed she wished she could just disappear into thin air. What startled her even more were the words Cael had said.It turned out that he and Ariana weren’t really in a romantic relationship, and he had already been secretly involved with Charlotte earlier in the afternoon. Ariana knew about it as well. In other words, there was no need for her to warn Ariana after all.The conversation outside only grew more obscene, with Cael saying things that made Annabelle cover her ears in discomfort. "Why, God? Why must I be forced to witness two shocking incidents in a single day?"Should she go out and interrupt them now? Annabelle felt she would burst from the awkwardness. Should she just wait until they were done? That would surely drive her mad.She needed a way out. After a moment of thought, she took out her phone, cranked the volume up to maximum, and began playing a funny video.Sure enough, as soon
