Chapter 204 Can You Curl a Firework?
Last Updated:
2025-02-09 18:00:02Before Annabelle could say much, Kendrick had already hung up.
Annabelle returned to Davin, feeling frustrated. By that time, he was already sitting on the sofa, with the manager nodding and bowing beside him.
Gauge walked over anxiously and asked her what was going on.
Annabelle shook her head and said to Davin, "Someone will come to compensate you in a while, but you may have to wait a little longer..."
She was very unsure when she said these words.
After all, if Kendrick was in the city at that time, it would take him at least two hours to get here.
I hope Davin won't cause any more trouble.
Davin finished listening and smiled faintly, then lit a cigar.
"Miss, I didn't have so much time to wait for you, to be honest, I didn't really need that money. But now I have an idea that can not only exempt you from compensation but also help me save face."
He took a puff of his cigar, blew a smoke ring, and continued, "After al

Kendrick's temples throbbed, he wiped away the tears on her face, and said, "Go sit over there for a while, don't look this way."Annabelle felt the coldness emanating from Kendrick, her scalp tingling, as she stood frozen in place."Be good, go quickly."His tone was gentle yet firm, like a command, directing Annabelle to involuntarily move her legs and turn towards the distant booth.Did Kendrick want to kill that person?She had just thought of turning around to look when suddenly there came a loud crack behind her, as if the sound of a joint breaking, and at the same time, Davin let out a scream like that of a slaughtered pig.Annabelle shivered all over and wrapped Kendrick's coat tightly around herself. Finally, she didn't dare to look back and slowly sat down on the sofa, with her back turned towards Kendrick.I could only hear Davin pleading in pain, "Mr. Gregory, Mr. Gregory, I really didn't know she was your girl. Are you re
Last Updated : 2025-02-09I wish it were you Chapter 206 When Did She Plan to Take Action?
Annabelle had been living with Kendrick for over three months, how could she not tell that he was jealous?Based on past experiences, when Kendrick gets jealous, the next step is to definitely make her jealous as well.So Annabelle quickly changed the subject."By the way, why did you come here too?""Soaked in hot springs."Kendrick said as he carried her into the house and headed straight to the bathroom.Annabelle tutted in her heart; Kendrick is really good at pretending. When could he not go to the hot springs, but had to come on the same day as her, obviously it was intentional.Wasn't he very busy with work? How does he still have time to stare at her so closely?Muttering to himself, Kendrick had already put her in the bathtub, taken off her large suit jacket, and started helping her untie her bathrobe.Annabelle was taken aback and held his hand, saying, "I can handle it myself."Kendrick was taken aback;

Before going to bed that night, Kamila had already learned from her classmates that the man who picked up Anna every day in a low-key Audi was actually Kendrick, the CEO of the Gregory Group.Then she and her classmates searched online, and they knew everything.What Anna? It's Annabelle, Mr. Gregory's flash-married wife. This kind of idol drama plot only happens around them.So Kamila considerately packed Annabelle's luggage and delivered it to her.After all, since the CEO's husband arrived, how could Anna possibly sleep with her?Annabelle opened the door for Kamila and took everything she stuffed into her arms. She looked at the angry Kamila and awkwardly smiled, "I hid it from you guys because I was afraid of being treated differently.""Hmph, go back and help me lose two kilograms, and I will forgive you."Annabelle laughed and said, "Okay, okay."Kamila finally laughed and said, "By the way, we are going mountain climbin

Annabelle's smile froze instantly. Baby? What baby?Immediately, she looked at Kendrick and saw him taking the cushion handed to her by her grandmother, with an innocent expression on his face, as if saying, "It's not related to me at all."Seeing that he didn't clarify, Annabelle asked, "Grandma, how did you know?"Grandma smiled and said, "A while ago, didn't Kendrick tell the reporters that your children were about to be born?"Annabelle sighed inwardly, knowing at that moment that Kendrick had set a trap for her, but she never expected it to explode like this.She glanced at Kendrick again, and this time Kendrick spoke."Every summer and autumn, Grandma used to come and live in the mountains. Even though she lived in the mountains, she would still go online by herself."Annabelle observed the old man in front of her. Her grandmother had a graceful demeanor, dressed simply but with good taste. Clearly, she was not an ordinary farme

Kendrick hesitated for a moment. His grandmother asked him to help carry something heavy, and it was this small bottle?"Grandma, what is this?"Grandma smiled mysteriously and said, "I had prepared this for you and my daughter-in-law a long time ago. It can enhance fertility and make the child stronger. Both of you should take one small pill before bedtime every day. In less than two months, you will definitely conceive."Kendrick rarely blushed, but his grandmother managed to make him do so."Grandma, this medicine, does it have any side effects?""Of course not, would grandma give you bad things? Back then, when your mother had been married for three years without a child, I made her eat with your dad, and look, she gave birth to such a healthy and smart child like you."Grandma's approval made Kendrick happy. "Okay, then I will eat with Anna."Although Kendrick is not sure now whether he will continue to be with Annabelle, since h

Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain where the cemetery was located.Kendrick parked the car and the two of them walked along a stone path, heading towards the mountain.The mountain was not high, but the stone steps were steep. Annabelle climbed with some difficulty, and Kendrick wanted to hold her hand, but Annabelle shook him off."No need, I can do it."Kendrick shook his head helplessly and didn't insist on it anymore.However, just as Annabelle finished speaking, not even a minute had passed when her foot slipped on the slippery moss and she fell to the side.She exclaimed and finally fell firmly into Kendrick's arms."Rely on me a little, and I won't let you lose any weight."Annabelle, her heart pounding after nearly falling, casually said, "The people I have relied on, none of them have come through for me in the end."So everything had to rely on oneself.Kendrick glance

Annabelle was stunned. "Why would Master kill you? Besides, Master doesn't kill people."She had witnessed Master's mercy and gentleness, a man who would release even a mouse trapped on a wooden board. How could he possibly be capable of killing someone?"Kendrick, do you have persecutory delusion?"Kendrick suddenly laughed, never before had he been so happy after being completely shut down by her.Because of her candid gaze and all of her reactions, he could be certain that Annabelle didn't lie.Perhaps, Annabelle did intend to go with her Master, but she neither knew Master's identity nor knew that Master had once planned to assassinate him, nor had she been involved in Ryan's assassination.She was innocent, it was a misunderstanding on my part."Annabelle, actually he...""If you speak ill of him again, I won't go to the mountains with you," Annabelle said angrily.Kendrick pursed his lips and swallowed the second h

Kendrick hurriedly comforted, "What are you afraid of? The thunder is still far away, it won't strike you."However, as soon as the words fell, another lightning bolt struck, followed by the sound of thunder.The thunder and lightning came closer this time...Kendrick's face darkened as he silently glanced at his mother's tombstone, thinking to himself, "I am your own son, are you really going to betray us?"But there was no time to think further, as at that moment the two of them were on the top of the mountain, which was indeed very dangerous.If struck by lightning, tomorrow's news will be lively: the president of the Gregory Group, accompanied by his wife, was struck by lightning and died instantly..."We quickly descended the mountain."After Kendrick finished speaking, he took Annabelle's hand and walked quickly downhill.However, before reaching the foot of the mountain, a heavy rain poured down.The rain kept pou

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.

“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
