Marvin walked toward the front door.

Kendrick didn’t say a word, just silently watched him leave.

Annabelle wanted to fetch an umbrella for Marvin, but Kendrick stopped her by placing a hand over hers.

Just as Marvin reached the door and was about to open it, Kendrick’s cold voice rang out.

“Stop.”

Marvin froze mid-step.

“It’s pouring outside. Where do you think you’re going?”

Marvin turned his face slightly. “I have a place to stay.”

“Your cards are frozen. The house is gone. Where could you possibly go?”

Marvin spun around. His eyes were red, his expression a mixture of anger and shame—as if furious not just at the situation, but at being exposed.

He forced out a few words from deep in his chest. “I can stay at a friend’s.”

“And which friend would you dare go to like this?” Kendrick scoffed. “Let’s be real, how many of your so-called friends are actually sincere? Weren’t they just drawn to you like flies because you were a gullible rich kid with money to burn? Now that you’re broke,

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1490 A Very Clean Refusal

    This wasn’t the first time Mr. Nichols had protected her joy.She had shared many things with him—things he’d already seen, tasted, or experienced. But Scott never dismissed her enthusiasm, never interrupted her with a casual “I’ve done that already.”As she thought about this, Scott glanced up at her. “Why are you staring at me like that?”Propping her chin in her hand, Julissa gazed at him like a fangirl. “Just thinking... Mr. Nichols has such refined character.”To protect someone else’s happiness—that is a kind of refinement, isn’t it?He chuckled and flicked her forehead. “Suddenly putting me on a pedestal—what do you want now?”“Can’t I just genuinely admire you from the heart?”He gave a dry laugh. “You always butter me up when you need something. Or when you’ve messed up.”“That’s a serious misjudgment!”Scott still didn’t look convinced and shook his head with a grin.As they chatted, he finished mixing a white Negroni and slid it in front of her. “Try it. See if it tastes li

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1489 Can’t Stand Anymore…

    Scott picked up the bottle for her and poured exactly 22 grams of liquor into the small glass—no more, no less, precisely right.Julissa's heart was practically leaping out of her chest. She stammered nervously, “Mr… Mr. Nichols…”“Hmm?” His low voice slipped into her ears, making her mind buzz.At the same time, his hand tightened slightly around her waist.Her body grew even more rigid. Her breathing quickened, and her temples throbbed in sync with her pounding heart.“Lost your mind?” he murmured.Julissa shook her head.“Can you handle the rest yourself?”She nodded quickly.Only then did Scott let go of her waist. The warmth behind her vanished instantly.That’s when she finally snapped out of it. She quickly grabbed his sleeve and said softly, “Mr. Nichols… help me with the next one too. My hands are too shaky.”He looked at her for two seconds, then returned to stand behind her. Wrapping his arms around her like before, he pulled her into his embrace again.“Help you like this?

    The bartender spoke gently. “I swapped the gin for purified water when mixing the drink—so it’s non-alcoholic.”“Why did you swap it?”“A slight buzz is the sweet spot. But for a girl drinking out alone, safety comes first.”Julissa couldn’t help but smile. If the bartender from her last outing had been this thoughtful, she wouldn’t have gotten drunk and lost her virginity—even if it had been to Scott…Later, she asked the bartender to help her pack a bottle of orange liqueur and a bottle of white vermouth. He set the bags on the bar and went back to serving other customers. Once he was gone, she ordered a beer from the waiter.She felt confident letting loose—after all, Anna and Kendrick were there. Even if she got drunk, they’d make sure she got home safe.And eventually, she did get drunk.The world was spinning, her mind foggy, head pounding. She vaguely remembered draping one arm around Anna’s shoulders, clutching the paper bag with the two bottles of alcohol in the other, stagge

    Julissa stood by the roadside, watching the rush hour traffic flow endlessly in both directions.Her man, Mr. Nichols, was really something—while everyone else was getting off work, he was still buried in it.But the problem was, he wasn’t acting like himself today. Normally, when she asked him anything, he’d tease her with something like, “Missed me after just one day?” But tonight, his responses were all formal, totally not his usual style.“Are you still mad… about the wedding invitation thing?”“No, I’m not. Don’t overthink it,” he paused before adding, “And don’t wait up tonight—I’m not sure what time I’ll be back. Go to bed early.”“Oh…”Then, Scott ended the call.Staring at her phone’s screen after the call ended, Julissa pouted and turned around.Anna was watching her. “Well? Is he coming?”She shook her head. “He’s still busy. Said he won’t be joining us for dinner.”“Still sulking?”“I don’t know. He’s just being kind of distant.”Kendrick clicked his tongue. “He’s throwing

    Later, the two started talking about Julissa and Scott's official announcement of their relationship, and how Kendrick kept pestering them for wedding sweets.Julissa then said, “Back when you two got married, you didn’t have a ceremony. If you’re going to make up for it, why not do a joint wedding with us?”She blurted it out without thinking, but Anna fell into a moment of silence, seemingly troubled.Julissa asked, “What’s wrong, Anna? You two hit a snag?”Anna said that Kendrick had also mentioned making up for the wedding they didn’t have, but she wasn’t really into the idea. Even if they did hold one, it wouldn’t be a grand event—just a small dinner with close friends at most.Julissa thought for a moment, then cautiously asked, “You don’t want to run into your family, is that it?”Anna gave a helpless expression and nodded, finally voicing her concerns.If they held a traditional wedding, they’d have to invite both sides of the family. But after everything her parents and older

    In the Lavender Villa, Annabelle sat on her bed, chuckling as she spoke into the phone, “Sounds good! Get ready, I’ll be at your place in about half an hour.”“Okay! I’ll be downstairs waiting for you by the road.”After hanging up, Annabelle turned to Kendrick beside her and said, “With Julissa going with me, you can relax now, right?”Julissa had once risked her life for Annabelle. Going to the hospital for a prenatal check-up with bodyguards in tow—there really was no reason for Kendrick to worry.Kendrick held both her hands, looking helpless as he sighed. “With the bodyguards and Julissa, of course I’m relieved. But I still want to be there with you.”“Don’t worry, I know my own body.”She understood his concern—what if something happened with the baby while he wasn’t by her side?But after resting these past few days, Annabelle felt her body was back on track.Her goal today was simple: confirm that everything was fine so she could go have fun with Julissa and the others at the
