Chapter 141 Entered the Police Station

2025-01-08 18:00:37Annabelle's body was pressed tightly against the back of the chair, biting her lip.
Regret.
What were you blabbering about just now, talking about brothers and sisters!
How can I say such cheesy things out loud?
However, Kendrick approached a little closer, which scared Annabelle so much that she had to grit her teeth and admit defeat.
"Good brother... Good brother! Are you done?"
At this moment, she felt both embarrassed and annoyed. Her small face, the size of a palm, turned pink, and her eyes shimmered with watery light, making her look even more pitiful.
Kendrick's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but kiss her lips.
Annabelle quickly reacted as soon as she realized his motive, she turned her head and, in the end, Kendrick's kiss landed on her cheek.
Kendrick chuckled and whispered in her ear ambiguously, "Good girl."
Annabelle blushed and avoided looking at him, wishing she could become invisible.

After Annabelle finished giving her statement, she was taken to a temporary holding room.She opened her big eyes and quietly looked at the silent surroundings, fear gradually spreading from the bottom of her heart...The small window and bare walls made Annabelle feel increasingly oppressed in the past. Time seemed to stretch infinitely, and many painful memories resurfaced.She seemed to be back to when she was eight years old, back when she was still at the Sanchez's place. It was because she had broken her mother's beloved plate, and her mother locked her in a small dark room for a full two days and nights, until her younger brother Raphael quietly let her out.She also remembered the cold winter when she first arrived at Springvale Temple, with the mountains covered in heavy snow. Her face was wrapped in bandages as she lay on a stiff wooden bed, forgotten by everyone, until the young master appeared.Those past moments came back to Annabelle'

The police politely escorted Kendrick and Annabelle to the gate, and Annabelle's face had turned red all the way to her neck."Put me down quickly, my leg isn't injured..." she grumbled as she slapped Kendrick's chest.Kendrick then put her down, thinking to himself, "What a little white-eyed wolf you are. Just a moment ago, you were so scared that your face turned pale. I thought you couldn't walk because your legs were weak, so I held you. And you still hit me."Annabelle remembered what had happened at the police station and asked, "By the way, was it you who asked the police to be a little nicer to me?"Although she was scared just now, she also knew that it was her own psychological factor. Because in the previous two hours, no one had troubled her, and that so-called detention room seemed to be just a duty room."No." Kendrick's face looked a bit unpleasant. "It was a classmate of yours who asked someone to take care of you. And he is a Murph

That day, Kendrick came home and happened to overhear Annabelle making a phone call.She told Marvin not to send flowers anymore recently, as there were too many for her to trim.Kendrick immediately caught the crucial keyword, which Annabelle used as "not recently."In other words, after these flowers are used up, can Marvin continue to send them?Does accepting Marvin's gift also mean that her heart is gradually being opened by Marvin?Kendrick reflected on his performance during this period and silently compared himself to that kid Marvin in his mind.It seems like he has been too busy with the affairs of the company recently and neglected his own rabbit...It was Saturday when Annabelle received the vinyl record Marvin had sent her early in the morning. She sighed helplessly.Marvin's enthusiasm lasted longer than she had imagined.Recently, Annabelle has also been refusing his gifts, but Marvin said that he only see

Kendrick knew that beneath this thin layer of silk was Annabelle's soft and graceful body.He was a man, not a saint, and he would also have impure thoughts, especially when she lay there defenselessly in front of him, sound asleep.But usually she was as cautious around him as she would be around a thief, yet now he was suddenly sitting by the bed and she could still fall asleep.Did she trust him too much?Or perhaps, in Annabelle's heart, she had already accepted him long ago?Kendrick slightly bent down, his palm caressing her cheek, and whispered, "Anna, if you don't get up soon, I'll wake you up in a different way. Want to give it a try?"The little woman sniffed and turned her back.Kendrick lowered his head and kissed her on the back of her neck.Annabelle suddenly opened her eyes, wrapped in a blanket and sat up, belatedly exclaiming, "Kendrick, how did you get in!""...This is my house, which room do you think

Annabelle hesitated, feeling a bit guilty inside, but she didn't want to go along with him."You could just move around by yourself."Kendrick sighed and didn't force her. He tried to move his shoulders, but as soon as he turned, he gasped in cold air."What's wrong?" Annabelle frowned as she looked at him."It seems like a cramp, Dr. Sanchez. Do you have any solutions?"Kendrick called Dr. Sanchez repeatedly, just to ensure that Annabelle wouldn't feel burdened and could simply treat him as a patient.Then he could enjoy his wife's massage.Annabelle sighed in frustration, but eventually gave in.So he stood up, stood behind him, and began to massage his shoulders and back.As Annabelle's small hand came up, Kendrick felt completely relaxed and couldn't help but close his eyes, fully enjoying the massage.Although her hands were soft, they were not weak in strength. When she squeezed his trapezius muscle, Kendric

Since he didn't say anything, Annabelle decided not to ask anymore.Anyway, since I had already come, I decided to treat it as a trip regardless of what he was going to do.After Kendrick saw her fascination with everything, he asked, "Shall I take you for a walk?""Okay."Annabelle had enough sleep on the plane and wasn't in a hurry to go back to the hotel. She wanted to go shopping.This was her first time coming to a foreign country, while it was exciting, she also felt very insecure.Especially when the locals stared at the two of them, she felt even more uncomfortable.In fact, people were just admiring their beautiful Eastern looks.Kendrick then grabbed her hand and deliberately scared her, saying, "Hold on to me, or else we won't be able to go back home if we get lost."Annabelle really tightly held onto his big hand.Kendrick's lips curved slightly, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being relied upon.

This time, Kendrick didn't get angry, instead, he couldn't help but laugh.When Yolanda mistook her for Ariana just now, Kendrick noticed that she was unhappy.Did he care about his performance?After the two of them left, Yolanda was left confused.If Kendrick's wife was Ms. Sanchez, what was Ariana?Ariana was introduced by Kendrick. At that time, Kendrick did not explicitly say that they were lovers or in a romantic relationship. However, Yolanda, assuming one-sidedly, thought that Ariana was his girlfriend because Kendrick rarely had female friends.Later on, while communicating with Ariana online, Yolanda asked Ariana more than once about when she and Kendrick would get married.Recalling Ariana's reaction, it was indeed subtle. Although she never admitted to their relationship, she also never denied it, which made Yolanda even more certain that they were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.Now that I think about it, I

Kendrick drove and brought Annabelle to the hotel, where they checked in.When checking in, Annabelle noticed that he had only registered for one suite, so he frowned and glanced at Kendrick."In a foreign land, do you want to sleep alone?"Annabelle pursed her lips and didn't raise any objections, she really didn't want to.Just because we live in the same room doesn't mean we have to share a bed. There will always be a sofa in the room, so she can just make do with the sofa for one night if necessary.However, when the two of them arrived in the room, Annabelle was dumbfounded.The only place to sleep was a clean and soft double bed in the inner room, which enticed people to lie on it. There was no two-seater sofa at all."Come on, we've slept together before, it's not like it's a big deal," Kendrick said calmly.Annabelle thought to herself, "How can I not be nervous? Who knows what tricks this old fox has up his sleeve."And it seemed

No one knew how long had passed before peace finally returned to the bedroom.Sunlight slipped through the curtains, casting soft rays across their bed.A thin blanket was draped over Annabelle, her bare shoulders and arms exposed.She had just woken up, already drained of energy, and now her entire body felt sore and weak—as if all strength had left her.Passion could make one forget their troubles for a moment, but once it faded, all those nagging worries returned, one by one.She lay quietly beneath the faint sunlight, watching the play of light and shadow on the bed, lost in thought.“Still upset about breaking the clay doll yesterday?” Kendrick murmured against her shoulder, planting a soft kiss there.Annabelle gave a slight nod, then shook her head.The doll, with its auspicious meaning, had been shattered—it felt unlucky. But more importantly, the incident made her realize something:She and Kendrick had been together for so long, yet they still didn’t have a child.“Why haven
I wish it were you Chapter 1039 Uncle? Sister?
Annabelle shook her head at the little boy. She could tell he hadn’t done it on purpose, so of course she didn’t blame him.At that moment, the boy’s mother arrived. She scolded her son for misbehaving—how could he run off like that before he’d even learned to stop properly?Then she turned to Annabelle and Kendrick, thanking them and apologizing for the broken item. She asked how much the figurines had cost so she could compensate them.Annabelle didn’t want to fuss over it. “It’s fine,” she said. But the woman insisted—her child had broken someone else’s things and she had to pay for it.The clay dolls weren’t cheap. Kendrick glanced at the mother and son, then casually quoted a price: “One hundred fifty.”The woman immediately transferred the money and even pressed her son’s head down, making him apologize.The boy then said again, “Sorry, uncle… sorry, sister…”The corner of Kendrick’s mouth twitched, and he replied coolly, “It’s okay.”Afterward, Annabelle and Kendrick crossed th
I wish it were you Chapter 1038 Wifey's Shy Face
Annabelle suddenly realized that all those rapidly increasing follower counts on her social media—each number represented a real person. And the red bean cake vendor standing in front of her was clearly one of them. This unexpected kindness from a stranger warmed her heart, though it also made her feel a bit embarrassed. No matter what, she decided to pay for the cakes. But no matter what she said, the vendor firmly refused to take her money. There was a line of customers behind her, so she didn't want to keep holding up the queue. Instead, she quickly scanned the QR code, estimated a fair price, and transferred the money to the vendor before leaving with peace of mind. Yet before she’d walked a few steps, the young vendor chased after her, insistently stuffing two extra portions of red bean cakes into her hands. His face was even redder than before. He wanted to look at her, but didn’t dare, scratching his head as he said shyly, “I said I’d give my goddess a freebie, and I me

Linda paused. Marvin couldn’t help asking, “And then?”She snapped back to the present and continued, as if telling someone else’s story.“Luckily, my brother came back. He was a sophomore in college and had just returned home for summer break. He saw that bastard trying to hurt me, grabbed a kitchen knife, and slashed his neck. Blood sprayed all over my face.“He kept hacking at him until the guy couldn’t move anymore. Then he held me and said, ‘Linda, it’s okay now. He’ll never hurt you again.’“After that, my brother was sentenced to death. I was sixteen.“The day he was executed, my grandfather had a stroke and didn’t survive. After the funeral, my stepmother asked for a divorce, and my dad agreed.“The night before their divorce, my dad opened the gas valve. He and my stepmother died of carbon monoxide poisoning.“I spent a month in the hospital but survived. After that… I was on my own. I didn’t really ‘struggle’ in society—I just drifted.

“No way!” Marvin spat out, his voice tight with disbelief. “Anna just finished a jewelry event last night—there’s no way she could be in North City!”“Maybe she flew over after the event?” the reporter offered weakly, desperation creeping into his tone. “Mr. Gregory, if your brother finds out I tried to dig into this… you’ve got to protect me.”“Enough already. I get it.” Marvin snapped, the edge of impatience slicing through his words.“Alright, alright. No time to chat—gotta push the story out before someone else scoops it.” The reporter hung up in a hurry.But he was already too late.Another outlet had already dropped part of the exclusive interview, cleverly holding back the juiciest bits to keep viewers hooked. Within twenty minutes, the full conversation with Kendrick and Annabelle was everywhere.In a private hospital room in Elfhedge, Marvin stared at the news reports, fury radiating off him like heat from asphalt. His phone met the floor with a sickening crack, screen shatte
I wish it were you Chapter 1035 Because She Has a Slim Waist
Annabelle had long known that the reporters were fixated on this topic and would eventually bring it up again.Even though they were blocked from interviewing her at yesterday’s press conference, here they were today.She was just thankful that she wasn’t facing them alone.As for the real reason behind her and Kendrick’s flash marriage, it was simply because she didn’t want to marry a perverted old man, and Kendrick had agreed to marry her because she claimed she could help treat his headaches.Neither of those reasons could be made public. Otherwise, people would assume Kendrick was just a backup plan, and the fact that she knew medicine would be completely exposed.Kendrick might not mind being teased, but if people found out she had medical skills, things would get very complicated.Just imagining it—every time one of Kendrick’s friends or business associates (especially the ones she didn’t like) met her, they'd stick out their wrist without a word and ask for a diagnosis. That wo

After ending the call with Kendrick, Annabelle felt much better.Regardless of how her parents acted, her future was her own. With Kendrick by her side, always considering her needs, she already felt content with her life.Still feeling drowsy, she lay on the bed for a while and ended up falling back asleep. When she finally woke again, it was hunger that roused her.She planned to get up and find something to eat.Looking around, she couldn’t see where her clothes had gone. A white T-shirt, clearly Kendrick’s, was draped over the sofa beside the bed.She got out of bed barefoot and slipped the oversized T-shirt over her head.Kendrick was tall, so the shirt was long enough to cover her hips. Loose and casual.She walked to the dining area and spotted the lunch Kendrick mentioned. She was about to warm it up in the microwave when she suddenly heard commotion outside the door—lots of voices.She vaguely made out someone calling, “Mr. Gregory…”Was he back? She didn’t dare open the door

Annabelle's personal social media account was gaining followers at an explosive rate—so fast it could give someone high blood pressure.For her, this kind of media exposure was obviously a great thing.You could say that Alice had practically sacrificed herself to boost Annabelle’s popularity.Not only did the incident showcase Anna’s personal capabilities, but it also unintentionally promoted Murphy Jewelry—an unexpected wave of free publicity.Under this trending topic, netizens began checking out the pieces shown at Murphy Jewelry’s latest press conference.Many even tagged her: “Supporting Anna! Already bought it!”Similar comments were flooding in.Out of curiosity, Annabelle checked the e-commerce platform authorized by Murphy Jewelry.To her surprise, 80% of the newly released items from the previous night were already sold out.No wonder that last time, when she was being slammed online, Kendrick didn’t suppress the news but instead flipped the narrative and gained popularity

Actually, Kendrick had already grown suspicious when breakfast was delivered.The strange eye contact between the two servers caught his attention, especially the male server who looked somewhat familiar.Previously, when Kendrick was negotiating business with an important partner at a hotel in Elfhedge, Ryan launched a surprise attack. That was also when Anna took a tranquilizer dart for him.During that confrontation, Kendrick vaguely remembered a face just like this—handsome, with thick brows and big eyes. He looked honest and trustworthy, which was exactly the kind of appearance that lowered one’s guard.But Kendrick couldn’t be sure if it was the same person.The call he made to Jaime was to have him investigate the people who had just delivered the food.If it was the same person, then Ryan was making another move against him.As for whether the breakfast was actually poisoned, Kendrick had only suspected it at the time—he wasn’t certain.He also thought, if Ryan really wanted t
