Chapter 245 He Couldn't Control Himself
Last Updated:
2025-02-23 18:02:39As soon as Annabelle heard Kendrick's voice, her tightened heart relaxed a little.
"Kendrick, are my eyes... blind?"
This was the problem she was most worried about.
Kendrick's eyes darkened, then he smiled faintly and said, "No, it was washed off in time, and it will fully recover after a period of rest."
His voice was deep and gentle, as his large palm lightly caressed her shoulder, soothing her emotions.
But Annabelle felt uneasy, she smelled alcohol at that time, and it was very pungent. She suspected that Lisa had splashed something on her face, most likely something like industrial alcohol.
And that kind of thing contained formaldehyde, which could cause blindness.
"Are you comforting me?"
"Of course not, besides, how long can I deceive you with such a thing?"
Annabelle thought for a moment and realized that if she had really gone blind, she would have known soon enough. Kendrick had no reason to lie about it.

Annabelle immediately withdrew her hand and frowned, saying, "I was just curious why you, a workaholic, would be willing to not go to the office.""The company did not consider you important."Although this statement is cheesy and old-fashioned, Annabelle found it pleasing to hear and forgave him for his flirtatious behavior."You have been sleeping for two days. Are you hungry? Let me help you sit up and have something to eat."Annabelle shook her head and said, "I didn't have an appetite."However, Kendrick had already helped her raise the bed halfway so that she could sit up and eat, and he also scooped a small bowl of red date porridge from the insulated food container for her."I really didn't want to eat...""You should also eat a little more, which is beneficial for recovery."Kendrick spoke as he scooped up a small spoonful of porridge and blew on it at the edge of his mouth.Annabelle's mouth was full of bittern

After eating porridge, Annabelle felt a little thirsty. Kendrick helped her by handing her a glass of water and considerately placed a straw for her, preventing her from not being able to see it and drink properly.However, after consuming the porridge and water, it didn't take long for Annabelle to sadly realize that she needed to use the restroom.She pursed her lips and said, "Kendrick, could you please call the nurse in?""What happened?"She bit her lip again, finding it difficult to speak."You went and called, that's all."Kendrick squinted his eyes and looked at her, "Anna, did you want to go to the bathroom?"Did Annabelle blush? Was her expression so obvious?"So you quickly went to call the nurse, or the caregiver would do."Kendrick laughed and said, "Why bother someone else, I'll just carry you.""Absolutely not, absolutely not!" Annabelle shook her head quickly, how could she let Mr. Gregory attend t

When Lisa mentioned Annabelle's eyes, Kendrick's gaze grew darker.Indeed, it is highly likely that Annabelle's vision will never be restored.But he didn't want to give up, as long as there was a glimmer of hope to save her, he would definitely do his utmost.As for Lisa...If Annabelle had even the slightest mistake, Kendrick wouldn't dare to guarantee what crazy things he would do."You had better pray that Annabelle gets better soon."Kendrick's voice was faint, but the murderous tone in his voice made the dim wine cellar even colder and more terrifying.Lisa looked up and gazed at the man she had always desired.At this moment, Kendrick stood against the backlight, resembling the Grim Reaper, gazing at her.It seems that her time of death has come.And when she went to destroy Annabelle, she anticipated that this day would come.But suddenly, a wave of sadness surged up in my heart.She had put

Kendrick raised his hand, and Jax let go of Lisa."Whose phone is it?" Jax asked."I didn't know who the person was... They were using an anonymous phone... And they had a voice changer."She knelt on the ground, clutching her throat, gasping heavily and coughing violently.This secret, indeed, was told to Lisa by an anonymous person through a phone call, so she also didn't know the identity of the other party.Kendrick pondered for a moment, no longer glancing at Lisa, and instead walked away."Kendrick! You only had three days! Divorce Annabelle!" Lisa shouted fearlessly.Kendrick paused, turned his face slightly, and said coldly, "If you have the strength, recite some scriptures to yourself and transcend yourself in advance."After saying that, Kendrick left the basement. As he closed the door, he could hear Lisa's unwilling shout from inside.Kendrick said to Jax, "Keep an eye on her, we can't let her die right now."

Annabelle dreamt that Master helped her examine and then removed the gauze from her eyes. Afterwards, a cool, ointment-like substance was applied around her eyes, and icy liquid was dropped into her eyes.Annabelle instantly felt much more comfortable, and her eyes didn't hurt as much.Afterwards, Master seemed to have personally applied medicine on the back of her hand. The ointment had a faint fragrance. After finishing the treatment, Master gently held her hand and then left the ward.Annabelle shouted anxiously, "Master, don't go."Until her shoulder was gently grasped, Kendrick's voice came through, "Anna, wake up.""What did you dream about?" Kendrick asked with a smile.He was busy all night and came to the hospital early in the morning to visit Annabelle. He pretended that he hadn't heard her calling "Master"."I dreamt that Master applied a kind of ointment on me and also put eye drops, and then I felt much better," she remai

"Anna, why haven't you been replying to my messages?" Fabian's voice leaked out from the receiver.Kendrick said, "I am Kendrick.""What about Anna? Why is it you answering the phone?""She was still sleeping."Fabian's voice became angry, "What I asked was, why was it you who answered the phone.""Because she was sleeping next to me, I didn't want to wake her up, so I answered the phone. Is there a problem?""You..." Fabian took a deep breath. "Kendrick, why is she sleeping next to you? What did you do to Anna?""It's exactly the kind of thing you were thinking."Annabelle on the side had black lines all over her head, and her cheeks were unnaturally flushed.She is now very regretful, why did she let that Kendrick help her answer this call!She decided to get her phone back, but Kendrick picked up the phone and went to the balcony.Annabelle couldn't hear Fabian's voice anymore; she could only faintly hea

As soon as Annabelle heard these words, her face flushed again.Not to mention that her hand was already much better, she could take care of herself even when the wound was more severe the previous day. When did she ask him for help in taking off her pants...Kendrick was clearly teasing her."If you keep making a fuss, I will really get angry.""Okay, just kidding. Don't get so worked up, I'll just leave."Kendrick smiled, left the bathroom, and closed the door for her.Annabelle sat on the toilet seat, her hands wrapped in bandages, covering her face.She knew that her emotions were on the verge of collapsing and could also sense that Kendrick was trying his best to cheer her up.But she was still very scared and upset.When she first woke up, she could still perceive light through the gauze, but this morning, upon waking up, her perception of light had become very weak.Furthermore, during the day yesterday, sh

Kendrick gave a bitter smile and said, "It's not like it was some century-long puzzle that needed so much consideration."Annabelle thought to herself, it was difficult... she had no experience..."Alright, I won't ask anymore. Don't feel pressured," Kendrick rubbed her head, "You don't want to hear about how I became the CEO, right?""Well, you said it, I want to listen."Annabelle was full of curiosity about Kendrick's life, which she had never experienced before.Afterwards, Kendrick began to speak. When he mentioned that he had left the Gregory family for two years and returned as the CEO two years later, Annabelle keenly caught a key piece of information.Because Fabian had said that Kendrick's past had many mysteries, including two years when he left the Gregory family, and the events that occurred during those two years could not be investigated at all.Annabelle couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go those two years?"

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
