Chapter 121 Waiting for His Response
Last Updated:
2024-12-31 18:00:20Annabelle nodded with a smile, discreetly placed the card into the gift box, and put it in the drawer.
As he watched her overflowing joy and the hidden emotion beneath that joy, Kendrick squinted his eyes slightly, but he didn't ask further.
"Have you eaten?" he changed the subject proactively. "If you haven't eaten, come downstairs and eat. I bought shrimp dumplings."
"Thank you, I have already eaten."
"Okay," Kendrick turned around to leave.
Annabelle pursed her lips and called out to him, "Kendrick, I want to talk to you."
Kendrick saw her serious expression and had a faint feeling that what she was about to say might not be what he wanted to hear.
He took off his suit jacket and casually draped it over his arm, "I'm tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Alright, then tomorrow..."
Kendrick came to the living room on the second floor, sat on the sofa in front of the French window, lit a cigarette, and took a dee

Kendrick's brow furrowed even tighter as he said in a cold voice, "I will be away on a business trip for three days. I will give you a response after three days."The business trip was real. In the afternoon of that day, Kendrick took a private plane to Crystaliron.Sitting on the plane, he looked at the thick clouds outside the porthole and had no intention of considering the details of the upcoming meeting.It seemed that Annabelle really wanted to leave, but he didn't want to let her go. What could he do to keep her?You can't imprison someone by your side, even though he really wants to do so.Give her money? She didn't lack money and didn't care about money.Give her affection? They haven't reached that point yet, he was just wishful thinking.The plan of using the "injured meat" strategy? That is indeed a feasible solution, but not very clever. Besides, Annabelle is highly skilled in medicine. If Kendrick were to injure or make

The assistant told Gavyn that the partner had received reliable information that Annabelle and Kendrick would be getting divorced soon, and it was Annabelle who had initiated it. This news made Kendrick very unhappy.The reason why the partner chose the Sanchez Group was solely based on their relationship with the Gregory family. Since the Sanchez family offended the Gregory family, they also decided not to continue the collaboration.After listening to the assistant's report, Gavyn's head buzzed.Mr. Gregory was very unhappy about leaving because it was Annabelle's idea...It should be noted that once this news spreads, it will have little impact on the Gregory family business, but it will be enough to bring the Sanchez family down and even worsen their situation compared to two months ago."Mr. Sanchez, I am worried that other companies have also heard the news, and three of them have already stated clearly that they will not renew their contract

"Annabelle, your mother is just like that, saying whatever she wants, don't take it to heart.""What do you have to say? Please speak up."Annabelle couldn't stand her father's hypocritical facade. Although he wasn't as cruel as Briley, these two individuals were essentially the same."Ah, I know, over the years I have owed you and neglected you, but which parent doesn't want their children to be well?"Annabelle laughed. If they truly wished her well, would they have sent her, at the age of 10, to Springvale Temple without even visiting? If they truly wished for her, would they have forced her into marriage for the sake of business?Gavyn sighed, "I felt really bad when I pressured you into getting married. I thought the Gregory family could provide you with a good life, but I didn't expect you to insist on getting a divorce. Well, it's up to you now. But Dad has a request that he's not happy about.""An unwelcome request? Since when have y

Annabelle frowned and looked at her father, "How did you know he didn't want to?""I called his assistant, it's true!"This is true, Gavyn did go to Jaime to drop a hint.Gavyn hesitated for a moment and continued, "But you know, men have a bit of an ego, so it's a little difficult for them to take the initiative and reconcile. It requires you to take the initiative a bit."Annabelle pondered for a moment. Kendrick's assistant wouldn't casually discuss their boss's personal matters, so if Jaime said that Kendrick didn't want a divorce, it should be true.At the same time, Annabelle suddenly realized something.The divorce matter, which originally only Annabelle and Kendrick knew, is now known to everyone. Who leaked the news?There was only one possibility, Kendrick.He definitely knew that once this news was released, the Sanchez Group would be in dire straits, so Kendrick didn't want a divorce and wanted to use this method to

Annabelle was feeling angry and thinking about how to negotiate with Kendrick when she saw him later.Divorce is definitely inevitable, but how can we make him spare the Sanchez family?Lost in thought, Kendrick's tall figure emerged from the arrival gate.He was wearing a white shirt on his upper body, with the sleeves slightly rolled up. He had on gray trousers on his lower body, and casually draped a coat over his wrist. He looked lazy and restrained. Coupled with his cold and handsome face, he was simply a walking hormone.Sure enough, as soon as he appeared, he immediately caught everyone's attention.Several girls were exclaiming "so handsome" and some people took out their phones to snap pictures of Kendrick.The two girls closest to Annabelle were chatting boldly, saying, "Ah, I really want to sleep with him!"Another person said, "You're such a fool for him. He just glanced at you and you fainted. How can you sleep?""

Annabelle only realized at that moment that everything, including today's reporters, had all been arranged by Kendrick alone.That's why he wanted her to pick him up at the airport!Not only did he use the Sanchez Group as leverage to make her reconsider, but he also forced her to publicly retract her words.Everything Kendrick did conveyed a message to her, that if he wanted her, every step she took would be within his calculations, and she couldn't escape at all!Annabelle always thought that she was not easily bullied, but when she met Kendrick, she realized that she was no match for him. It was like a little witch encountering a big witch, or a little rabbit fighting against an old fox. The difference in strength was so great that there was no suspense about the outcome.At least this time, she lost.Annabelle turned to the reporters and smiled, saying, "We had just gotten married, we hadn't even gone on our honeymoon, how could we be ge

Annabelle blinked her eyes, how could she know his thoughts!However, Kendrick looked at her expression and wondered why it was so strange, as if she had some kind of treasure on her.Annabelle's brain raced as she wondered what exactly she had on her that Kendrick found worth pondering.It was impossible for him to pursue her wealth, nor was it about lust. After all, he was so wealthy and surrounded by beautiful women.What about her medical skills? It seems unlikely, as Kendrick's illness has already been cured and her usefulness has diminished. Moreover, the private doctor by his side is also highly skilled.After thinking for a while, I remembered what he said to the reporter today, saying that they were almost having a child.Did Kendrick want to...Annabelle looked at Kendrick with a vigilant expression, as if she was staring at a human trafficker who was about to take her organs at any moment.Kendrick was also wondering
Last Updated : 2025-01-01I wish it were you Chapter 129 Saw What Shouldn't Have Been Seen
Annabelle was going crazy, how could there be such a shameless person!Unfortunately, she was still unable to do it.After all, since the Sanchez Group was not going to buy the Gregory family, she had to withdraw her divorce request and continue living under the same roof with this old fox."Then I will make it clear to you, I don't love you now, and I won't fall in love with you in the future. If you like to give without expecting anything in return, I won't stop you, but one day I will leave you."After saying that, Annabelle pushed him away and angrily went upstairs.Looking at that stubborn figure, Kendrick, who had always been dominant in the business world, suddenly felt confused and unusually lost in his heart.She seemed to really not like him at all, as if she couldn't wait to leave his side at any moment.In the past, he had always had a natural attitude towards Annabelle. He tried his best to fulfill her desires and never f

The lighting in the home theater was dim. The plush double leather recliner could be laid flat to form a small double bed. But it wasn’t an actual bed—any movement on it caused it to creak.Annabelle didn’t dare to move much, but Kendrick was unbothered. Holding her by the waist and brushing his lips against hers, he chuckled lowly, “What are you afraid of? It won’t collapse.”She looked at him, the corners of her eyes still wet from tears shed during the movie. She was actually quite tired today. She also remembered explaining just last night that during their efforts to conceive, they shouldn’t be too frequent. But knowing he’d be leaving that night, she couldn’t help but hold him tightly—and soon stopped thinking about anything else.Afterward, Annabelle lay in Kendrick’s arms, a thin blanket draped over her.They lay in silence for a while before Kendrick gently stroked her arm and asked, “Feeling better now?”Annabelle smiled softly but then became suspicious. She half-sat up and

Annabelle nodded glumly. “Then at least message me when you land tomorrow.”“I will,” Kendrick said, patting her thigh gently. “Don’t worry. I’ll keep reporting in to my wife.”Annabelle quickly pushed his hand away. “Keep your hands on the wheel.”Kendrick withdrew his hand but gave her a long, affectionate look, a small smile playing on his lips.That night, after returning home, Annabelle stuck to the plan and made beef noodles.The beef had already been braised by Uncle Trey. All she had to do was boil enough noodles for two and pour the meat and broth on top.Even someone not too skilled in the kitchen like her could pull that off.Once the food was ready, Annabelle didn’t have much of an appetite. She only ate a few strands of noodles and sipped a bit of soup.Kendrick’s bowl, on the other hand, was much more lavish—noodles topped with generous slices of beef, two stalks of greens, and a fried egg she’d made just for him.Looking at the hearty meal before him, Kendrick grinned.
I wish it were you Chapter 1008 Becoming a Clingy Baby
“You guys actually fought before?” Annabelle asked in surprise.Kendrick chuckled. “I was the one who beat him up.”He went on to explain that Sean was Uncle Trey’s little nephew. When Sean was in elementary school, no one looked after him during summer breaks, so Uncle Trey would bring him to the Gregory residence to stay for a couple of months. Back then, Sean was like a stubborn little ox. If Uncle Trey said one thing, he’d argue right back. One time, Kendrick happened to overhear and gave him a good beating. After that, he became much more obedient.Later, when Sean started middle school, he stopped coming around. Years passed, and Kendrick only heard from Uncle Trey in passing that Sean had opened a gym.Come to think of it, it had been over a decade since he’d seen the guy—no wonder he didn’t recognize him at first.Hearing all this, Annabelle couldn’t help but marvel at how small the world was, and how fate worked in strange ways. At the same time, she felt a sense of relief.S
I wish it were you Chapter 1007 Listen to My Explanation
Just thinking about her photo being stored on that man’s phone made Annabelle feel extremely uncomfortable.Especially when he said he’d “treasure” her photo with that flirty, ambiguous expression—it made her deeply irritated.God knows what he plans to do with that picture. She didn’t even want to imagine it.“Delete my photo. Now.”“Alright, alright, I’ll delete it when I get back,” Sean dodged casually. “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. Go on and wait for your husband. I’m heading out.”He turned as if to walk into the rain, but suddenly paused and looked back at her.“Oh right—earlier this afternoon, I overheard a young model downstairs on the phone. She said something like, ‘I don’t want to go too far. After all, I have no grudge against Annabelle.’”Annabelle frowned. “Which model?”“Think her name was Dale.” Sean paused. “I don’t really know what she meant, but it didn’t sound good. Don’t you have that runway show tomorrow? Just be careful.”With that, he waved and jogged off i

“I didn’t!” Annabelle responded immediately.“Then why do you look like you just did something bad?”Annabelle didn’t expect him to see through her that easily. With no other choice, she confessed everything.“Really, it’s nothing. I just ran into the Young Master earlier, and he helped me out with something. I was afraid you’d be upset if I told you.”But she *definitely* didn’t do anything to betray him. Besides, she felt completely open and honest when facing the Young Master—nothing to feel guilty about.Kendrick’s gaze darkened slightly. “What did he help you with?”Annabelle sighed. Since she’d started explaining, she decided to tell him everything.“Some people were talking behind my back, and I overheard it. I wanted to confront them, but just then the Young Master showed up and stepped in for me.”Kendrick stared straight ahead, silent for a couple of seconds before asking, “How did he ‘step in’?”“He pretended to be my lawyer...”Annabelle recounted what happened, then cauti

Ryan lowered his hand, slid it into his pocket, and the smile at the corner of his lips gradually faded. He said calmly:"In the future, if you ever run into a situation like that again, be more careful. The corridor earlier had barely anyone around and was in a camera blind spot. If those girls really wanted to gang up on you, how could you handle the three of them alone?"Anna gave an awkward smile. "I was just too angry and acted impulsively. I didn’t think it through. Thank you for helping me earlier."Ryan gave a slight smile. "No need to thank me. We... are friends, after all."Anna nodded earnestly, then suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Young Master, I saw an old photo in a magazine just now. It was of a little kid, probably five or six years old, and he looked a lot like you."Ryan’s brows furrowed slightly. His fingers clenched tightly in his pocket, but he quickly forced a smile. "Really? Which magazine was it?""It was a finance magazine, right there on
I wish it were you Chapter 1004 Enough Is Enough
The article described Ryan, the president of the the Whitney Group, known as "Mr. Whitney"—the latest heir of the Whitney family. Due to poor health in his youth, he was once sent abroad by his uncle to recover in a sanatorium.No one expected this seemingly forgotten heir to return with massive capital and directly replace his uncle as the new president of the the Whitney Group.To this day, this capable young president has never appeared in the public eye, nor has his appearance been revealed. Some say he’s ugly, others say he’s handsome. The mystery surrounding him only fuels more curiosity.Recently, someone obtained a childhood photo of him from his uncles. Judging by that photo, Mr. Whitney was likely a good-looking child.Annabelle stared blankly at the photo after reading the description. The boy in the picture looked about five or six years old. Though he wore a smile, his eyes were melancholic, and his expression was restrained—the kind of smile that felt heavy.What shocked

After Jaime left, Kendrick picked up his phone and left a comment under the most trending post:“I actually wish you wouldn’t try so hard. Rely on me a little more, and maybe you wouldn’t fall so many times. ”He tagged Anna’s account.This was his genuine reaction after watching the video compilations.The moment he posted it, it instantly became a hot topic.Although Kendrick rarely used his social media—mostly posting formal content about events or appearances—he was still a massive influencer with a huge following.His comment quickly gained thousands of likes and drew tons of replies from fans and netizens.“In a lover’s eyes, there’s no embarrassment, only heartache.”“She’s working so hard. Shame on the brainless haters!”“So what if she’s pretty and married to a rich, handsome guy? Not jealous at all!

Annabelle turned back. "What is it?"Kendrick looked into her eyes. "Anna, you don’t need to be afraid of anything."Just that one simple sentence filled Annabelle’s heart with a warmth only he could bring.So, he had understood all those hidden feelings she hadn’t even voiced.She withdrew her hand from the door handle and bit her lip. "Sometimes I wonder… taking on such a major brand endorsement—am I overestimating myself?""Why would you think that?"Anna’s gaze drifted past the car window, through the hotel lobby’s glass facade, and onto the people inside."Look at them. All the girls sitting in there are exceptional. They’ve worked incredibly hard to get a spot at Lin’s press conference. And me… I’ve only had a little over a month of crash training..."Kendrick sighed, gently brushing his hand over her cheek. He told her those girls were excellent models. After all, only the best in the industry get to walk in a Murphy Jewelry show.But that didn’t mean they were fit to be the br
