Just as Annabelle thought she was going to die in the underwater Red Tree Manor, a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of Aron's embrace. She surfaced and woke up from the nightmare.

She coughed violently for a moment, then finally calmed down.

Kendrick was in front of her, looking at her with concern, but her ears were filled with water, so his voice sounded muffled, as if it were coming from behind a glass.

She realized that it had all been a dream. She must have fallen asleep while bathing, and while submerged in the water, she naturally held her breath, leading her to have that dream.

The man before her was, of course, the real Kendrick, not someone disguised as Aron… right?

“Anna, why are you staring at me like that? You don’t even recognize your own husband?” Kendrick asked.

She reached out, pinched his face, and confirmed there were no masks or anything like that.

“I dreamt you turned into someone else and tried to hurt me.”

“Now that you’ve confirmed, am I real or fake?”

    "How could I dislike it? We’re truly honored and grateful," Kendrick said, taking the painting from Damien and handing it to Annabelle.Annabelle bit her lip and thanked Mr. Knight.Damien, the father, had already filled in the polite formalities on behalf of his son. In this situation, rejecting it would have been difficult.With the painting in one hand and Kendrick’s arm around her waist, the two left Damien’s estate, the Red Tree Manor, in their stretched Lincoln.After seeing them off, the butler returned to the villa. Damien had already left his son’s room and arrived in the living room on the first floor."Did you send them off?" Damien asked."Yes, sir," the butler replied."That Annabelle... she really surprised me," he said, looking out at the tree-lined path. "For now, don’t make any moves on her.""Understood. I’ll inform everyone," the butler said, pausing for a moment. "It’s rare for Young Master to have someone he’s willing to approach. Should we come up with an excuse

    Annabelle was stunned. He wanted her, an outsider, to treat his son? Didn't he have a personal doctor?It seemed that Damien had read her doubts and explained, "The private doctor and the nurse... are both unavailable today. There’s no one in the house who understands medicine. Can you help, Mrs. Gregory?"Annabelle certainly couldn't stand by and do nothing, but this wasn't just any patient. She wasn't sure about the complexities of the situation and hesitated to agree rashly.She turned to look at Kendrick.Kendrick nodded slightly, and Annabelle, reassured, agreed without further hesitation.The two followed Damien and the butler upstairs.It suddenly occurred to Annabelle that Damien knew she was skilled in medicine. Did Kendrick mention it? But they had been talking business earlier, so it seemed unlikely.She glanced at Kendrick, who gently patted her on the back as if noticing her tension and trying to reassure her.Now wasn’t the time to dwell on such things. Saving the person

    Damien did not take the initiative to greet them, but as a junior and a guest, Kendrick politely greeted Damien first.However, Damien simply stared at him, and Annabelle found it difficult to describe the look in his eyes. It was like a bottomless abyss, concealing all obvious emotions within, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.Annabelle felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation and took a quiet breath, glancing over at Kendrick. She saw him furrow his brows as well.Damien’s silence and unwavering gaze were clearly puzzling to him, but Kendrick didn’t show any discomfort or anxiety. Instead, he met that gaze head-on, as if it didn’t matter how long the stalemate lasted.This silent standoff lasted only a few seconds before the butler reminded them, “Sir?”Damien gave Kendrick an apologetic smile and said regretfully, “Apologies. Seeing you reminds me of an old friend.”He then gave Kendrick another deep look. “You look a lot like your mother.”“You knew my mother?”

    Annabelle shot him a glare and shifted backward. Although Jax was still in the car and wouldn’t hear their private exchange, she still felt embarrassed by it.Kendrick chuckled, patting her knee.At that moment, the suited man returned to the car.Kendrick lowered the window again.The man spoke respectfully, “Mr. Gregory, your wife is welcome to accompany you inside. Please, switch to our estate vehicle; I’ll personally escort you.”Kendrick nodded.Jax stayed outside the estate, while Annabelle and Kendrick climbed into a black, stretched Lincoln sedan that drove them along the internal roads of the estate.Annabelle looked out the window at the mansion up ahead. It wasn’t so much a villa as it was a castle. She had seen similar grand houses when visiting her distant relative Tanner’s home in Milan, and later when she stayed with her friend Robin in Switzerland, who came from an aristocratic family. But those felt different from the one in front of her.The imposing structure, with

    The hotel manager informed Jax that the criminal suspect, the class-hating bellboy, had previously come into contact with one of the bodyguards from the Keller family. The hotel management didn’t want to escalate the matter and hoped to keep it quiet, so they hadn’t reported this lead.Upon hearing all this, Kendrick quickly deduced that the poisoning incident involving the hotel guests was actually a plot by Heather to target Scott and Julissa. The people working for Heather probably didn’t expect them to return to Elfhedge overnight.After ending the call with Kendrick, Scott began reflecting on the entire situation. He believed that Heather probably wasn’t trying to kill him. Perhaps after poisoning him and Julissa, she had some other plan, which remained unclear.However, this sudden event did make Scott feel a chill. The only thing reassuring him now was that Julissa was almost always with him 24/7. But, of course, this wasn't a long-term solution. He needed to come up with a way

    Right now, Annabelle’s heart was filled with a strong desire to return home, especially after walking around the campus today, which made her long for her college life even more.She had avoided going to school recently, as the reporters had been following her everywhere. After the jewelry release event, the reporters had finally lost interest in her, and she was finally able to attend her classes normally again.So, she thought that as soon as she returned, she would go to school.The car entered the main road, and Kendrick slightly increased the speed. Annabelle raised the car window halfway."By the way," Kendrick suddenly said, "When we go back, I want to have a meal with Grandpa. I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had time to visit the old house. It’s been a while since I saw Grandpa.""I’ll go with you."Kendrick glanced at her and said, "Grandpa will probably keep urging us to have a baby. Don’t take it to heart, just go with the flow."Annabelle silently nodded.Speaking

    However, Annabelle didn’t understand Kendrick’s deeper meaning. “I can still play for a while.”Kendrick glanced at her shoes and smiled. “We’ll get you a pair of basketball shoes later. You’ll hurt yourself playing with those shoes.”She was still not satisfied, pursing her lips. “Alright then.”“I didn’t expect you to be so interested in basketball.”Annabelle looked at the hoop and said, “I just want to make a shot, and it’s actually kind of fun.”While chatting, they walked over to the base of the basketball hoop. Annabelle was about to sit on the base when Kendrick stopped her, spreading his suit jacket on it. “Alright, sit here.”Annabelle knew that Kendrick was worried she’d catch a chill because the metal base was already chipped and cold.“Sit on the suit, and I’ll sit on your lap.” That way, neither of them would get cold. Perfect.Kendrick smiled at her and sat down, patting his thigh. Annabelle obediently sat sideways on his lap.She rested her head on Kendrick’s shoulder,

    Anna said, “I wasn’t, I was just worried you couldn’t hold yourself back, so I reminded you.”“Alright, it’s my fault,” Kendrick replied with a smile. “But why is it so quick this time? I remember you usually need at least five days.”Anna explained that it might be because they changed the environment, and also because she drank alcohol yesterday. In the middle of the night, she got thirsty, got up to drink some cold water, and it just ended up being over sooner than expected...Kendrick didn’t expect her to be so careless and scolded, “Dr. Sanchez, what’s wrong with you, drinking cold water during that time?”She glanced at him and fiddled with the buttons on his shirt. “There’s no thermos at the guesthouse, and I forgot to pour hot water into the thermos beforehand. I didn’t want to wake you up at night, so I didn’t heat any water.”She explained so pitifully that Kendrick couldn’t continue scolding her. Moreover, it was his fault too.After all, she fell asleep right after drinkin
