Chapter 168 Did he refuse to accept me?
최신 업데이트:
2025-01-13 18:02:39Because Annabelle just said that the man used to visit her every night, Kendrick is particularly sensitive to this kind of sentence.
Annabelle thought for a moment, were her relationship with the young master considered close?
During the time when she was sick, the young master could only visit her at night because it was inconvenient during the day.
The young master personally changed her medicine, held her in his arms, spoon-fed her bite by bite, and also helped her move her fingers and supported her to get out of bed and walk...
This kind of contact should be considered intimate, right?
"Yes..."
Upon hearing this answer, Kendrick felt a mixture of bitterness and sourness in his heart. Suddenly, he became overwhelmed with anger and started coughing violently.
He had originally wanted to hear her talk about those happy things, to alleviate the long and painful waiting time. Little did he expect that it would stir up her longing for a

Jax did not report immediately, but instead looked cautiously at the sleeping Annabelle.He was a cautious person, holding a guard against anyone, even the boss's favorite.Kendrick nodded at him and said, "Go ahead, speak."Jax began to speak: "The person who kidnapped the lady was bribed by Lisa, with the intention of killing her. Lisa was able to act in the mansion because..."Kendrick frowned and said, "Just say it.""Because she had a relationship with your uncle, but your uncle...""What uncle, Tanner," Kendrick clenched his fist, veins bulging on his forehead out of anger.Jax then changed his tone: "Tanner didn't know Lisa's specific intentions, and he probably didn't expect that Lisa wanted to kill his wife, so he just did as she said and helped her. As for the person who later shot at you, it shouldn't be related to Lisa. I haven't found out their identity yet, but the footage retrieved from the dock shows that they all have

Kendrick stared out of the porthole, recalling every detail from before.Looking back on the past few days' itinerary, Annabelle did indeed display many abnormalities.In the concert hall, she was absent-minded. When she arrived at Witchport Manor, she was even more restless and almost mistook someone.No matter what, he needed to investigate these matters thoroughly.After a moment of contemplation, Kendrick said to Jax, "Investigate the identities of the guests in the second-floor VIP room during the concert that night, and see if there were any suspicious individuals.""Okay, I went to deploy immediately.""Wait," Kendrick called out to Jax again, "investigate all of Annabelle's previous experiences before she came to the Gregory family, including everyone she had ever been in contact with.""Yes. So, Tanner, how would you like to handle it?"Kendrick considered for a moment, "You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle

When Kendrick entered the bedroom, Annabelle had already tucked herself back into the blanket, with only half of her head exposed, watching him approach the bed.He was wearing a camel-colored casual shirt, his complexion wasn't great, but he walked steadily, seemingly without any major physical issues, which made her slightly relieved."Your injury..." Annabelle hadn't finished speaking when Kendrick came to her bedside and gently kissed her lips.Okay, no need to ask, it seems like there was nothing wrong."Where are my clothes?""Wet, washed."Annabelle felt uncomfortable as Kendrick stared at her. She could feel his intense gaze burning two holes into her."Did you... undress me?""Come on, I've seen you without clothes before, why are you so afraid of me looking?" Kendrick teased her.Annabelle's face turned even redder as she puffed out her cheeks and tucked half of her face under the blanket, leaving only her two

After speaking, Kendrick's kiss landed on her neck.Annabelle didn't seem to be lying, and Kendrick no longer cared about the truth. Since she claimed not to know Ryan, he hoped she would never admit it and would always keep her distance from Ryan.Annabelle had no idea about Kendrick's thoughts. She was tense all over, feeling as if her throat was being bitten by a lion, and she even forgot to push him away.But suddenly she thought of something else, very important."Tanner was not a good person, it was him who helped Lisa kidnap me!" she pushed Kendrick's shoulder.Kendrick looked up and bent down to look at her, "Why do you say that?"Although he already knew that Tanner was involved, he was curious about how Annabelle found out.So, Annabelle used aromatherapy in the room to try to sedate both of them, as well as sharing her suspicions about Tanner letting Lisa go with Kendrick.As she analyzed meticulously and astutely no

Annabelle chuckled and thought to herself, "Isn't she naughty?"She was clearly an innocent little white rabbit, but she fell into Kendrick's trap and couldn't escape from the marriage. She was constantly harassed and taken advantage of by him.Now, Mr. Gregory shamelessly claimed that he wouldn't do anything to her."I wanted to get up, give me my clothes!"Kendrick saw her suddenly get angry, but he didn't argue with her. He turned and went into the wardrobe, and brought her a set of clothes, from underwear to pajamas.Blushing, Annabelle said coldly, "Just leave it there, you can go now."Kendrick pressed his tongue against his gums, was the rabbit's tone a bit too arrogant?Relying on his affection for her, she actually treated him as a servant."Shall I assist the lady in dressing?"His slightly mocking tone made Annabelle break out in a cold sweat. How could she forget? This person is both cunning and vengeful, and

Annabelle noticed that the bandage she had just tied was wet, and fresh blood had seeped through the gauze."Didn't you avoid the wound?"Quite a grown man, how can he still not handle such matters properly? Is it intentional?But considering the fact that he had risked his life to save her before, Annabelle decided not to argue with him.She sighed and approached Kendrick. Without looking away, she picked up a towel next to her and wrapped it around his waist, then rebandaged him.This operation was smooth and seamless, Kendrick didn't make any mistakes, yet he still felt a bit disappointed."Could you help me pour half of the hot water? I will sit in the bathtub and wash myself, so that the wound won't get wet."Annabelle was annoyed by his pestering and agreed.After emptying the water, Annabelle bent down to test the temperature and caught a glimpse of him undoing the towel.Annabelle closed her eyes and looked strai

Kendrick was already waiting for her outside the villa, standing by the car door, wearing a pair of dark gray sunglasses, and talking on the phone.Annabelle glanced at him and, to her surprise, the old fox looked quite stylish in his outfit.Then she looked at their clothes again, both wearing Polo shirts, with the same style and brand, one black and one white, surprisingly matching couple outfits.Is this his little trick? I didn't expect this grown man to be quite childish.At this moment, Kendrick finished his call and looked at the refreshing little girl in front of him. He felt happy and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her pretty ponytail."Get on the car."Annabelle furrowed her brows and tidied her hair.Although only her braid was touched, she suddenly felt her face getting hot for some reason.She patted her cheek, suppressing the discomfort in her heart, and got into his car.Silent all the way, the two

Annabelle noticed Ariana's uneasiness and asked, "What's wrong with Ariana? Not feeling well?""I was just scared," Ariana said, her eyes turning red. "I heard that my sister-in-law was unconscious for two days, it was really terrifying. Is she okay now?"Annabelle smiled and said, "It's not serious, I've just been feeling tired lately. I spent a long time swimming in the sea that day, so I was a bit exhausted."She realized that Kendrick didn't want to bring up the topic of Milan in front of their friends, so she also tried to downplay it as much as possible.Kendrick pulled her hand and held it in his palm."However, my dog Anna is really good in water. Thanks to her, I was able to escape that day. I owe Anna my life now."Annabelle pursed her lips and thought to herself, "You cunning fox, you should be grateful. I risked my life that day to pull you out of the sea level, and even in that situation, you took advantage of me. Just thinking

I wish it were you Chapter 1000 The Ultimate Comfort
Kendrick’s deep, low, and teasing voice rang in Annabelle’s ears.She suddenly lifted her head from the old fox’s arms. “It’s only been two days! How is that ‘a few days’?”“It feels like a few days.”“Didn’t we agree—no more than twice a week?”Annabelle tried to reason with him, but Kendrick wasn’t having it.He lifted her chin and kissed her lips, casually shedding his tailored jacket that was now just in the way.As she saw him begin to undo the buttons of his shirt, clearly ready to go further right there in the gym—Annabelle quickly pushed him away. “I need to shower first. I was stretching just now, and I got all sweaty.”That answer… was basically a silent green light for the old fox.Naturally, he was very understanding. With a smile, he said, “Perfect. I need a shower too.”Before she could react, he had scooped her up into his arms and carried her straight toward the en suite bathroom in their master bedroom.Once there, Kendrick gently set her down and, ever the gentl

Annabelle turned around and looked at Kendrick, patting her chest.“You move so quietly! You scared me half to death.”Kendrick kissed the back of her neck and looked at her soft profile.“What were you thinking about? So focused.”“Nothing really… I was just thinking about what I should say when the reporters ask questions at the launch event.”He hadn’t expected that to be on her mind. After a moment’s thought, Kendrick said,“If you don’t want to do the interview, I can talk to Uncle Simon. He can skip the reporter Q&A part, or at least have them submit their questions in advance so you know what to expect.”Annabelle turned to face him, wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her face in his chest.Seeing her like this, Kendrick chuckled.“Just that was enough to move you?”Curled up in his arms, her muffled voice came out,“Kendrick, aren’t you spoiling me a bit too much?”Kendrick gently stroked her back.“No way. I’m still not doing nearly enough.”He wasn’t just being h
I wish it were you Chapter 998 Whoever It Is—Dinner Comes First
Only after seeing the news did Annabelle realize that, in less than a day, she had somehow become the center of attention.It wasn’t like anything serious had happened—it was just a compilation of her training bloopers. From wobbling in high heels and twisting her ankle, to being scolded by her teacher for stiff movements and poor coordination.As lighthearted content, it might’ve just drawn a few laughs. But clearly, someone with bad intentions was trying to stir the pot.The person who uploaded the video mocked her:“This is the new brand ambassador for the the Murphy Group? Are their standards this low now?”The comment section was full of sarcasm too—“I could walk better than that.”“She’s only got the gig because she’s Kendrick’s wife. Just here to cash in.”“Pretty face, but she’s just a vase.”Annabelle was torn between laughing and rolling her eyes. Her only real reaction? Ridiculous.Seriously, did these people not think things through?If her husband was Kendrick, and he di
I wish it were you Chapter 997 Take It Easy
Julissa took two deep breaths, trying to cool her overheated brain.Since Scott wasn’t coming home tonight, why not ask Anna out for dinner?It had been a while since the two of them properly hung out, and now Anna was dealing with all that online hate. No matter how well Kendrick handled things, she must still be feeling pretty awful inside.A dinner date, some heart-to-heart chatting—maybe it could lift her spirits a little?So, Julissa sent Annabelle a message, asking if she had time for dinner that evening.…At that moment, Annabelle was still training in the posture studio, completely unaware that she’d gone viral online.She did notice, however, that Ms. Maria was unusually gentle with her today—less criticism, more encouragement.She was a bit confused.Since when did Ms. Maria turn soft?Maybe it’s because the showcase is coming up and she doesn’t want to stress me out too much?She didn’t overthink it. Whatever the reason, she stuck to her training routine, completely tuned
I wish it were you Chapter 996 A Fool in Love
Julissa quickly finished reading the news.Once she understood the full context, she was furious. Fuming, she pounded the bed in frustration and immediately tried calling Anna.No answer.Was she in training?Five minutes later, she tried again. Still no response.A trace of worry began to creep in.Even though she believed Anna wouldn’t be too bothered by public opinion, cyberbullying was no joke. Online attacks were one thing—but sometimes they spilled into real life, and that’s what scared her the most.The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.She wanted to reach out to Kendrick to check on Anna, but… she didn’t have his contact information.With no other choice, she called Scott instead.She knew his schedule—at this time, he was likely in the middle of a meeting with a major client.But she couldn’t care less. Making sure Anna was okay came first.Thankfully, Scott answered quickly.On the other end of the line, his magnetic voice came through: “Hello?”“Mr. Nicho
I wish it were you Chapter 995 Sore Waist—Can I Take a Day Off?
That night, that man had also been drinking.The faint smell of alcohol on his lips—so similar to what she’d just felt from Scott—not unpleasant at all.That man seemed to have the same broad shoulders… the same firm waist and toned abs… and the same fiery passion.And back then, she… had been surprisingly forward.Julissa quickly forced herself to stop thinking.How could she be thinking about another man while lying in Scott’s arms?That’s basically emotional cheating!She shook the thoughts away, refusing to let her mind wander anymore.Once everything was over, Julissa was completely drained. Curled up in Scott’s arms, she quickly drifted into a deep sleep.But even in her dreams that night—she saw him again.The man from that night.And this time… she seemed to recall more of the details.Almost like her memory had come back.But no matter how vivid the dream was, she still never saw his face.Perhaps deep down, she didn’t want to remember the face of a stranger.The next morning
I wish it were you Chapter 994 The Taste of Forbidden Fruit
The last few words he said—were barely even spoken. Just a whisper of breath against her ear.Julissa’s ears turned instantly red. Even for someone as cheerful and unrestrained as her, she couldn’t help but cover her face in embarrassment, completely speechless.Scott pressed a kiss to her warm ear, his voice teasing, “Are you full?”“…”Julissa looked at him in disbelief. Wasn’t he just… before dinner?!And now, again?She was finally realizing—once an abstinent man breaks the seal… he becomes dangerously insatiable.“I’m full. But I need time to digest!” she said with firm resolve.Scott pursed his lips. “How long do you need?”“At least two hours.”He frowned slightly, clearly thinking that was too long, but didn’t argue. He simply nodded. “Alright. I’ll wait.”“You really are that… desperate, Mr. Nichols?”He said evenly, “You’ve read those novels, haven’t you? Once you’ve had a taste…”Julissa groaned and buried her face in her hands.At this point, she couldn’t even have a norma
I wish it were you Chapter 993 Any Request? Really?
Scott raised an eyebrow. “So, being liked by Miss Hickman is the greatest blessing of my life, huh?”“Of course. I have very high standards,” Julissa said with a cheeky smile.He laughed—genuinely amused. In front of him, she was the only girl bold enough to be this confident… borderline shameless, even. But somehow, it suited her.After a moment, Julissa brought up something that had been lingering in her mind.She confessed her thoughts about what Scott’s mother had said earlier. That “let’s talk properly another day” didn’t sound like a sign of acceptance—if anything, it felt like a polite rejection. She couldn’t help but wonder… Was it because of how messy she looked today?But no, it didn’t seem that simple.Scott took a sip of red wine and replied calmly,“No matter what my mom meant, it won’t change anything between us. So stop worrying about it.”His tone was serious, even a little stern. Julissa could sense that he wasn’t pleased.He seemed… angry at his mom.As the saying go
I wish it were you Chapter 992 Just How Great Is He?
Scott wrapped his arm around Julissa’s waist, pulling her into his embrace.“You’re not marrying my mom, you’re marrying me. Isn’t it enough that I like you?”“Well, yes, but still…”If they were truly going to be a family, then his mother’s attitude did matter quite a bit.“Alright, let’s eat first. Don’t overthink it.”As he spoke, Scott suddenly scooped her up into his arms.Startled, Julissa cried out, “Mr. Nichols, what are you doing?”“I’ve been meaning to say—walking barefoot on marble floors, doesn’t that feel cold?”She hadn’t expected him to notice such little details. A warm feeling rose in her chest, washing away all the awkward emotions from before. She wrapped her arms around his neck with a smile.“You’re actually… kinda sweet for a cold CEO.”“Miss Hickman is just finding that out now?”He carried her over to the dining table, where she obediently sat down and waited for dinner.Scott plated the steak—perfectly seared and paired with fresh vegetables, finished off with
