I wish it were you Chapter 12 Lust
That afternoon, Kendrick took Annabelle home and then went to work as usual.Annabelle spent the entire afternoon making ointment for him. When she had all the ointment separated and packed, she was so exhausted that she fell asleep on the sofa.In a daze, she felt strong arms wrap around her.When she opened her eyes, she saw Kendrick holding her and placing her gently on the soft bed."You're awake?"His voice was husky, he smelled of alcohol, and his tie was slightly pulled open, making him look kind of lazy and sexy.Annabelle recognized at once that it wasn't her room.She sat up quickly and moved back, her back against the head of the bed."What do you want to do?"Seeing her pale, wary face, Kendrick narrowed his eyes and thought that she was so ungrateful.A few minutes earlier, he saw that she was asleep on the sofa like a poor kitten, so he carried her into the room to rest.Her door was closed, whereas his room door was open. He couldn't open the door with her in his arms,

Kendrick turned the tap on full blast and took a shower for half an hour before barely managing to cool himself down.Before he came out of the bathroom, he texted Trey."Trey, come stay with me for a few days. Come here now. If Mrs. Gregory asks you, tell her that Grandpa didn't believe that she and I were really married, so he asked you to supervise us to have babies."Trey was stunned. He thought, "Is Mr. Gregory saying that Mrs. Gregory doesn't want to bear his kids?"Kendrick grew up around Trey, and they were like a family. Therefore, Trey knew Kendrick well.While analyzing, Trey realized something serious. He wondered whether Kendrick had slept with Annabelle or not."Mr. Gregory, if I may ask, do you and Ms. Sanchez sleep in separate rooms?"Kendrick was speechless, figuring that Trey was so smart."Why do you think I want you to be here? Remember, come here quietly and take the guest bedroom on the first floor. Do not make a sound.""I see, Mr. Gregory."Trey looked serious

"Don't go out just yet." Kendrick's lustful eyes were mixed with a bit of embarrassment.Trey hadn't arrived yet, so he didn't dare to let Annabelle out. If she found out he was lying, it would be too embarrassing for him."If you want to be treated, go to the living room," Annabelle said coldly.Yet he refused to move aside. Annabelle didn't want to push him, as she wanted no physical contact with him, and she blushed due to anger."Move!"Kendrick was kind of upset at the moment.He knew he had just lost his cool, but he was also upset that Annabelle was so angry.The most important thing for him now was to come up with an excuse to stop her from walking outside the room."Don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you again. It's just that Trey doesn't know about my illness, and if he sees you applying ointment to me, he'll ask me, and I don't know how to explain it to him."Frowning, Annabelle looked at him, wondering if he was telling the truth.Seeing her hesitation, Kendrick said

The next morning, Annabelle woke up naturally.She comfortably turned over but then froze."Eh? Why am I in bed?" she wondered.Annabelle sat up nervously and looked down at her clothes. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that her clothes were intact.This was her first time sleeping in the same room as a man, but she could sleep soundly. How careless she was.Annabelle looked up at the sofa and saw Kendrick lying there.It turned out that he had changed places with Annabelle.Kendrick was tall, looking very uncomfortable on the two-seater sofa.Annabelle couldn't help but feel a bit sorry, but at the same time, she felt warm. For now, she forgot that Kendrick kissed and hugged her last night.Just then, Kendrick opened his eyes and looked at Annabelle.Annabelle was like an elementary school student who was caught in the act. Flustered, she said stiffly, "Good morning."Kendrick sat up with a smile and asked, "Did you have a good sleep last night?"Annabelle nodded. Of cour

"Yes," Trey smiled. "Mr. Ethan Gregory asked me to take good care of you and Mr. Gregory these days. He won't feel at ease if others come."Annabelle's heart sank. Trey would come all this time...So, she would need to continue sleeping in the cunning Kendrick's room during this period.Annabelle seriously said to Trey, "It's not convenient for you to come and go between two places. We can take care of ourselves. Don't worry.""Not at all," Trey smiled and waved his hand. "I often came to take care of Mr. Gregory before. Please don't overthink it. I have to go now. I'll talk to you later."He left after finishing his words.More words would lead to more mistakes, so it was better to leave now.Annabelle frowned and sat on the dining chair, worried. What should she do?Where should she sleep at night? She couldn't let Kendrick sleep on the sofa all the time.But that was not important. The point was Kendrick had a strong desire for sex. Annabelle felt like a rabbit being brought to a t
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-17I wish it were you Chapter 17 Their Relationship
Back when Annabelle was humiliated in front of everyone at the engagement party, she wasn't sad, but now, after she was spooked by the little flame, she became like this.It was obvious that she was deeply traumatized by that fire.Kendrick felt sorry for what she had been through and blamed himself for his carelessness."I'm so careless," Kendrick wiped her tears and said. "I won't let you cook again.""I'm fine..."Annabelle composed herself, trying to break free from Kendrick's embrace. Then in the next second, Kendrick held her up and trundled toward the living room."Put me down...""Your legs went limp. Are you sure you can walk?" Kendrick joked.He put Annabelle down on the couch and turned on the TV for her."Wait here. I'll cook. I'll call you when the breakfast is ready. Be good."Kendrick rubbed her head.Annabelle smoothed down her messy hair and watched Kendrick striding into the kitchen.Turning on the stove, Kendrick started making breakfast skillfully.Annabelle stared

Kendrick's face darkened.Kendrick knew about Fabian. Fabian made his first public appearance as a model at the age of 20 and rose to fame.Later, Fabian displayed his extraordinary talent in designing and then established his own brand. At 26, he became a household name, but he was knee-deep in scandals.It turned out Annabelle was into this type of man.As far as Kendrick was concerned, Fabian and Marvin were two peas in a pod."Breakfast is ready," Kendrick said unhappily."OK..."Annabelle grunted, her eyes glued to the TV.When Kendrick noticed Annabelle couldn't move her eyes off Fabian, he felt even more displeased."Do I need to carry you?"Kendrick sat beside Annabelle, slipping his arm around Annabelle's shoulder.Annabelle sprang out of the couch and turned off the TV."I can walk by myself."After breakfast, Kendrick went to the company in a sulk.Annabelle had no idea why Kendrick was suddenly sulking.She thought Kendrick had a bad temper.After Kendrick left, Annabelle

Annabelle hurriedly turned around, turned off the light, and went to bed in a huff.As soon as she lay down, she caught a whiff of ocean from his pillow.She snuggled under his blanket, enveloped in his scent...As if Kendrick was holding her in his arms, Annabelle started to feel her face burning.Annabelle wanted to ask Kendrick to switch pillows and blankets, but she heard Kendrick snoring rhythmically. To her surprise, he was already out like a light.Annabelle had to lay back down and tried her best to fall asleep.Kendrick wasn't asleep. He just couldn't get enough of the fragrance on Annabelle's blanket and was afraid that Annabelle wanted it back.Meanwhile, the thought of his blanket covering Annabelle's body made him very happy.Annabelle tossed and turned on the bed. Kendrick curled on the floor and dozed off till midnight.After a few roars of thunder, the rain poured down. The gale, mixed with rain, blew into the room.Annabelle was awakened by the thunder.

“Stop it, don’t say that!” Annabelle quickly interrupted him.Kendrick chuckled, “Well, you scared me first.”She had no choice but to comfort him instead. “Maybe I’ve just been too anxious lately and overthinking. Don’t be afraid.”Kendrick sighed and gently rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”Annabelle nodded. She felt the atmosphere was getting a little heavy. Since they couldn’t change the fact that they had to part, they might as well talk about something lighter.“When you come back, can you buy me two boxes of red bean cakes? From that pastry shop in Bellingham `Alley. One for me and one for Julissa, she loves red bean filling too.”Kendrick smiled and agreed, “Anything else?”Annabelle said, “There’s also a clay figurine shop on Lawrence Street. They make really cute little clay dolls. Can you bring me a pair? I want to put them on the bookshelf.”“Sure. What else?”Annabelle tried to think hard. She had only been to North City once, b

In truth, Kendrick had overestimated her.Five minutes later, Annabelle was completely defeated. She pushed Kendrick away and glared at him, her face red.Kendrick chuckled. “Still mad? Then how about…”“I’m not mad anymore!” Annabelle quickly interrupted.Smiling, Kendrick helped her get dressed, while he himself hadn’t even undone a single button the whole time.Annabelle sighed once more—she really was no match for the sly old fox. The moment she so much as wagged her tail at him, he had her thoroughly handled.She felt exhausted now and truly just wanted to lie down and rest.Kendrick glanced at the time and said there was still an hour before he had to leave. He told Anna to rest here for a bit—he would stay with her.So Annabelle lay on Kendrick’s lap and drifted off to sleep.Who knows how long had passed when she drowsily felt Kendrick pinch her earlobe. “Anna, I have to go. I’ll have Jax take you home to sleep.”Annabelle’s eyes flew open. “No, I want to see you off.”Kendric

Annabelle followed Kendrick back to the sofa and nestled into his arms.“Anna, I need to confirm something with you.”“Mm, go ahead.”Annabelle was tired and slowly lay down, resting her head on his thigh.“When you suddenly took off your shoes on stage earlier, was that improvised or did something happen?”Annabelle looked at him and replied that it definitely wasn’t an improvised move. It was her first time on the runway—she wouldn’t dare be reckless. The heels had a problem, so she had no choice but to take them off.Kendrick nodded. “I see. That explains it.”“Explains what?”Seeing how serious he looked, Annabelle grew a bit uneasy—this didn’t seem simple.Kendrick hesitated for two seconds, then showed her the video Jax had given him.It was footage taken backstage while the models were getting ready before going on stage. The cameraman had been arranged by Gauge to capture some behind-the-scenes content for the post-event promo video. Annabelle remembered this and had even gree

After Julissa left, Annabelle originally wanted to return to the dressing room to remove her makeup. But the room was packed—during the short time she was gone, her previous seat had been taken by another model.They were all touching up their makeup, preparing to showcase jewelry on stage later.Since Annabelle’s part was already done, it wouldn’t be right to fight for space, so she decided to head to the lounge and change her clothes instead. As for her makeup, she could just take it off at home.With that in mind, Annabelle headed into her private lounge.As she opened the door and stepped in, the lights were off. Just as she reached out to turn them on, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and she fell into a strong, warm man’s embrace. The man quickly shut and locked the door behind them.She let out a startled cry, but the man silenced her with a kiss, swallowing her panicked gasp.He kissed her deeply. At first, Annabelle resisted, but soon she stopped struggling.Because the scent
I wish it were you Chapter 1016 Not Playing Along Anymore
Annabelle said somewhat regretfully, “My husband is on a business trip. I’ll probably just go home and sleep after this…”Truth be told, she did long for Kendrick’s praise and appreciation. Even if he only took her to grab some street food or shared a simple bowl of noodles at home to celebrate, she’d still feel completely content.But Kendrick was out of town, too busy to even attend the event, let alone celebrate.The interview wrapped up—everything that needed to be asked was asked, and things that shouldn’t be asked, Linda chose not to bring up. She ended it at the right moment.As she was about to leave, a flicker of emotion flashed through Linda’s eyes. She looked at Annabelle and said, “It’s been years since anyone cared whether I lived or died. Thank you, Ms. Sanchez.”Annabelle shook her head and looked into her eyes seriously. “I’ll be waiting for you to come find me.”Linda gave a slight nod.They parted ways—Annabelle headed toward the dressing room, while Linda told the c

At the check-in area of the press conference, Annabelle was being interviewed.Only one reporter was present today, but microphones and recording devices from multiple media outlets had already been set up on a small podium in advance.Annabelle stood on one side of the podium to make it easier for the microphones to pick up her voice.Before this, Gauge had asked her if she wanted to be interviewed. If she didn’t, he wouldn’t arrange it.Annabelle was a little resistant, but she agreed in the end.First, she was the brand ambassador, and it was her duty to cooperate with the promotion.Second, she had been avoiding the media for a long time, which only made the paparazzi even more eager to get her story. They had been chasing her down and trying everything to interview her.Even more frustrating, when they couldn’t get a real interview, they just made things up.Since that was the case, she figured she might as well accept the interview openly.Gauge understood her personality.

I wish it were you Chapter 1014 Kicking Off the Heels
The stylist handed the shoes to the girl, who quickly walked over to Annabelle.“Thank you,” Annabelle said as she took the shoes.“No worries!” the girl replied before hurrying off—she was about to go on stage.Annabelle bent down to change her shoes.The girl looked back at her, the corners of her mouth lifting in a slight smile, then stepped onto the runway.After putting on the heels, Annabelle stood up and took a few steps to get used to them. The heels were high, but she had worn taller ones before—she wasn't worried about twisting an ankle.Time ticked by. The runway show was nearing its end.Finally, it was her turn.Taking a deep breath, Annabelle stepped onto the runway, wearing designer Malina’s signature piece for the season.Applause filled the venue as she made her entrance.It was her first runway walk. Even though she had rehearsed countless times in her mind—and practiced on-site—it still felt entirely different in the moment.So many eyes were on her. To say she wasn

Kendrick paused for a couple of seconds—was Briley on the phone with Anna?After all, among the people going on stage today, the only one she could speak to in such an overbearing tone was likely Anna.Briley ended the call, though it sounded more like the other person had hung up on her. She came out of the stairwell with a dark expression.A male staff member happened to walk by, and she grabbed him to ask, "Hey, where's the models' makeup room?"The staff member pointed toward Kendrick and said, "Ma'am, head forward, turn right, go down to the first floor. The first room on your right is the one."Briley followed his gesture and, of course, saw Kendrick standing there.Kendrick gave her a faint nod. It was obvious from her stiff expression that she hadn’t expected to run into him.But she quickly forced a smile and walked over.They weren’t far apart, so she reached him in just a few steps."What a coincidence, Kendrick. Fancy running into you here. Have you been busy lately? How’s

Dale said that six months ago, she suddenly received an email from a stranger.The email contained dirt on her—scandals from before and shortly after she entered the entertainment industry. That person used it to threaten her into doing their bidding.Almost every piece of negative news about Annabelle on the internet in the past six months had been spread by Dale.But she had only ever communicated with the person via phone calls—never met them in person. What’s more, it was a one-way communication: the person always called her, using a hidden number and a voice changer. Dale didn’t even know if the person was male or female.What she could confirm, however, was that the person knew everything about Annabelle’s life—including her past—and had even provided a large number of photos, both recent and from her childhood, for Dale to use in edited images.Dale hadn’t kept doing it just because the person held something over her. That person had also painted her a beautiful lie—saying that
