I wish it were you Chapter 28 Slow Down
Marvin, as if enchanted, walked towards Annabelle. But suddenly, he noticed that Kendrick's hand was resting on Annabelle's waist.Marvin stopped in his tracks, and anger surged through him.His beloved woman was being embraced by another man openly.And Marvin didn't even have the qualification to stand by her side anymore.Marvin wanted to rush over immediately, pull Annabelle away from Kendrick's embrace, and then hold her hand, taking her home. Tomorrow morning, they would go to the City Hall to register for marriage...Fantasizing about these things, Marvin couldn't help but laugh out loud and felt even more bitter.He couldn't do that. Today was his grandfather's birthday banquet.In front of so many people, Marvin couldn't do crazy things again.Marvin closed his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he clenched his fist and restrained that impulse. Then he left the banquet hall.Lisa, who was resentful about the incident just now, saw Marvin's angry departure and had a brilliant i

"Don't flatter yourself." Annabelle turned her head away and stopped looking at Kendrick.From Annabelle's expression, Kendrick could tell that she was putting up a tough front.Kendrick really cared about his opinion.Realizing this, Kendrick couldn't help but smile."When Lisa was giving you a hard time, it wasn't because I was afraid you would humiliate me, but rather her actions annoyed me."After a pause, Kendrick continued patiently, "Besides, I don't know if you know Melvin or if you can tell authentic paintings apart. If you brought a fake painting, it was probably because you were deceived. In that case, I would say it was a painting I arranged and had nothing to do with you."Annabelle looked at Kendrick in front of her, her eyes flickering.It turned out that when Annabelle thought she was alone and helpless, Kendrick was not only standing up for her, but he had also thought of how to help her out.As for whether Annabelle knew Melvin, it seemed that Kendrick didn't care.

Lisa chatted with Annabelle for a few moments and then casually found an excuse to leave.Soon, Annabelle felt a wave of dizziness hit her.This was strange. She didn't drink alcohol. Why did she feel like she was drunk?Could it be too stuffy here?At that moment, a waiter approached Annabelle and said, "Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Gregory is waiting for you in the garden. He wants you to go over now."Did Kendrick finish talking with his friends so quickly? Why did he want her to go to the garden?Annabelle was feeling extremely dizzy and wanted to get some fresh air in the garden, so she left the banquet hall and headed toward the hotel's rear garden.Annabelle walked along the path and arrived at a secluded spot, but she failed to see Kendrick.A stronger wave of dizziness came over Annabelle, causing her to stagger and fall.Just when Annabelle thought she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of men's arms caught her shoulders."Are you drunk?"Annabelle lifted her head at the sound of t

Kendrick put his big hand on her wrist and let her lean on him.Annabelle looked at Kendrick's face in a careful manner. Kendrick looked cold, and she had no idea what he was thinking.But Annabelle felt wronged. Honestly, wasn't it because Kendrick annoyed Lisa? Then Lisa became jealous of Annabelle. And then it happened."It's not what you think," Annabelle whispered.Annabelle was innocent. Even though she only had an agreed marriage with Kendrick, she had to explain it.Kendrick did not respond and directly carried her up.Then he said to Marvin, "Now, Annabelle is your sister-in-law. If you don't want outsiders to laugh at you again, don't do such a misleading thing."With that, Kendrick strode out of the banquet hall.Marvin hated it when he saw his beloved woman being picked up and taken away by another man.Besides, this man was his elder brother, whom he had hated and never surpassed since childhood."Ken!" Lisa called anxiously.Kendrick didn't stop.She shouted to Kendrick'

They finally got into the car.As soon as Annabelle sat in the passenger seat, she began to look for something to drink. Kendrick had already handed over a bottle of water and the lid of the bottle had been unscrewed.Annabelle said thanks and took over the water. She took two pills out of her bag and swallowed them with the water."What is that?" Kendrick asked doubtfully."What?" Annabelle stared at Kendrick, "Oh, well, the sobering antidote. It was prepared for you."Kendrick laughed, "Did you think I would get drunk?"In fact, Kendrick had been so obedient lately that he didn't drink at all, even at his grandfather's party just now.But Annabelle obviously didn't believe him."I don't know. You love to drink so much," Annabelle muttered, pulling her seat belt. "Who knows what you scoundrel will do to me when you're drunk?"As Annabelle said that, she inserted the seat belt into the slot. But somehow, her head was dizzy, and her hands were out of control. So she didn't make it.Ken

Kendrick was surprised by this answer. It turned out that the proud Annabelle was afraid of being left behind."Just this?""Hmm..." she murmured and then gradually closed her eyes.Kendrick looked at Annabelle beside him again. He shook his head and thought she fell asleep so quickly.Then, he turned down the air conditioner.On the third day after Ethan's birthday banquet.Kendrick held a morning meeting in the company. The marketing director was reporting on the project of a newly developed resort.The marketing director said that the feature of this resort was that they had special services for pets. The customers could bring their pets to have a vacation here.Thus, those people who had pets but felt it was inconvenient to bring pets out, would not worry about it.On the screen, it was a picture of a man playing with a white kitty.Kendrick was in a trance and suddenly thought of Annabelle.That day, he drove the drunk Annabelle home. She woke up as she got out of the car. She kn
Last Updated : 2024-12-18I wish it were you Chapter 34 Buying Roasted Chestnuts
In the evening.Kendrick drove to leave the company. When he stopped at a red light, he noticed a roasted chestnut store on the street.He recalled that last time in Springvale Temple, someone gave Annabelle a bag of roasted chestnuts. She seemed to like it very much.Then he remembered his employee saying that if you wanted to gain a cat's trust, you should feed her a meat pack.Maybe for Annabelle, roasted chestnuts were like the meat pack.Kendrick thought for a while. When he passed the crossroad, he parked the car alongside the street and was ready to buy the roasted chestnuts.He got out of his Pagani. His sports car and his long legs attracted people's attention.He had a good figure and wore tailored suits, just like a model.A woman screamed in her heart and secretly took a photo of him. She posted the photo on her Timeline and Twitter.If people like Kendrick appeared in front of a small roasted chestnut store, it was rare.Soon, Kendrick's photo became a trending topic on T

There were only four people in this group, Kendrick, Seamus Morse, Scott Nichols, who was the present of the Nichols Group, and Ariana Murphy. They knew each other from childhood.Kendrick parked the car in the garage and glanced at his phone.Seamus was surprised. "Did I see wrong? The busy Mr. Gregory was waiting in line to buy roasted chestnuts? @Kendrick"Kendrick replied, "Are you jealous?"Seamus was speechless and replied, "Please be nice to singles."Scott asked, "Ken, when will you hold a wedding? I've prepared a big gift for you."Kendrick replied, "No plan right now."Ariana replied, "Ken, when will you lead Annabelle to see us?"Actually, Kendrick wanted to bring Annabelle to see his friends. Last time, his grandfather's birthday banquet was a good occasion. However, Lisa suddenly appeared and then Annabelle got drunk. They had to leave early that day.And only their family members knew that they had registered. They didn't tell the public, and even his friends didn't know

"Tomorrow, go buy Anna's car." The young master's voice was thick with the haze of alcohol."The one that exploded?""Yes."A flicker of confusion rose in Seraphina's heart. "Is young master planning to investigate the method behind the explosion?"The car had already been towed away by the police, and the official conclusion was: damage to the fuel line had caused a fuel leak, which eventually led to the fire and explosion.Coincidentally, Ms. Sanchez’s car had a flat tire the day before. The police suspected that the blowout might have damaged the undercarriage, which then caused the fuel line issue.But Seraphina knew very well—those were just superficial explanations.In reality, it was the opponent’s skillful method that had left no trace, no loophole for the police to detect.She and Sid had looked into it thoroughly, even going so far as to inspect all of the young master’s vehicles for safety risks, afraid that the enemy might target him next.But while Seraphina had thought s
I wish it were you Chapter 1079 Late Return
Annabelle pressed her lips together. “Kendrick, I’m already yours—body and soul. Why are you still jealous every day? Do you really not trust me that much?”Their relationship was already intimate, but they rarely spoke like this.The room was very quiet, with only the faint sound of water trickling from the fish tank outside. It was this silence that made Annabelle open up to him.She wished Kendrick would do the same—open up his heart to her. Why was it that, even after all they’d been through, he still seemed afraid she’d leave? As if the whole world of men were lining up to take her from him.Kendrick stared at her for a long moment, then kissed the corner of her lips. “I trust you. But that young master of yours… he’s not so trustworthy.”Annabelle knew. That young master carried a lot of secrets. Maybe that was exactly what made Kendrick wary.But… how could she ease Kendrick’s heart?Before she could think of a solution, her stomach growled.Slightly embarrassed, she buried her

“I meant nutritional supplements,” Kendrick said, amused, “Anna, are you always thinking about tonics for my kidneys?”“I…”Annabelle sighed. Ever since being with Kendrick, she had somehow started developing a mind full of those kinds of thoughts…—In the kitchen, Marvin finally found the half-eaten plate of strawberries in the microwave.He held it up and glared at Linda. “Don’t you know the state your body’s in? And you still dare to eat strawberries?”Linda pouted, her eyes turning red. “I’m already dying anyway. Can’t I enjoy just a little something? You won’t even let me eat one strawberry—how unjust if I die like this!”“Then don’t die!” Marvin roared.Linda looked up at him, stunned.After a few seconds, he took a deep breath. “I’ve been doing everything I can to keep you alive, and you just keep destroying your own body. Do you think that’s fair to me as your friend?”Linda didn’t reply, lowering her head to stare at her toes.“I just… got tempted. Couldn’t resist…” Her voic

So the two of them went up together to the walk-in closet on the third floor. Technically, Annabelle's own closet was in the next room, but she still followed him in.Once inside, Kendrick began changing clothes, unbuttoning his shirt as he took the lead in speaking.“If there's something you want to ask me, go ahead.”Annabelle looked a bit awkward—nothing ever got past this sly fox.“You two… were talking about pimping someone out?”Kendrick raised an eyebrow. “You heard that?”“Just one sentence. And something about Linda. But I swear I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”Kendrick replied, “Help me pick out an outfit and I’ll tell you.”So Anna began choosing his clothes while Kendrick gave her a brief rundown of Linda’s situation.As he talked, Annabelle stopped flipping through the wardrobe altogether and just stood there listening intently.By the end of it, Annabelle was stunned, her mouth hanging open in disbelief—and admiration for Linda.That girl really had guts. She had always see
I wish it were you Chapter 1076 What’s Gotten Into You?
Kendrick and Marvin’s chopsticks reached for the same dumpling at the same time.The two of them were at it again.Annabelle rubbed her forehead, got up, and went into the kitchen. She came back with two small plates and divided the dumplings from the main plate into two smaller ones, placing them in front of the two brothers.Now with one plate per person, there was no reason to argue.Marvin ate his dumplings while watching Kendrick and Annabelle sitting across from him.She reached for a glass of water, and before her hand even got there, Kendrick had already handed it to her.When Kendrick wanted a specific dish, she would quietly move it to his side without him even asking.Watching their effortless chemistry, Marvin realized he no longer felt as upset as he used to.He seemed to have gotten used to it.Used to seeing Anna sitting beside Kendrick.Used to her distance from him.That passion he had once vowed to pursue for a lifetime—at some point, it just didn’t burn so brightly
I wish it were you Chapter 1075 Crashing a Meal?
When Marvin walked into the living room, Annabelle was still lying on the sofa, plucking petals off a flower, trying to decide whether or not to have a baby dumpling.Because she was lying on her stomach and wearing a fitted outfit, her curves were quite noticeable.Kendrick immediately stepped in front of Marvin, not wanting him to get any wild ideas from seeing Anna like this.He cleared his throat and called out, “Anna.”Without looking back, Annabelle huffed, “I haven’t fully forgiven you yet. You’d better not talk to me.”Kendrick: “…”Marvin let out a soft chuckle and gave Kendrick a look that clearly said: So, now you know what it feels like.Kendrick’s face darkened slightly as he glanced at Marvin’s shoes. “Change into slippers at the door.”Marvin didn’t argue and backed up to the entryway to switch shoes.Kendrick then entered the living room and sat on the sofa, casually resting a hand on Anna’s back.She immediately turned and glared at him.“Marvin’s here. He wants to se
I wish it were you Chapter 1074 A Hug from the Old Fox
Kendrick clearly hadn't realized what she was about to say and asked, “Grandpa came to the hospital too?”“He’s probably here for orthopedics,” Annabelle replied blandly.Kendrick nodded. “Grandpa has an old leg injury. He does come in for regular consultations.”He paused for a moment. “So why are you mad at me after seeing Grandpa?”Annabelle looked into his eyes. “Grandpa didn’t see me just now, but I overheard his conversation with a friend.”She glanced at him after she finished speaking.Sure enough, Kendrick's pupils contracted slightly.Even though he tried to hide it well, it didn’t escape her notice.That was the guilty look!“Oh? And what did you hear?” Kendrick kept his tone light.Seeing that he was still pretending, Annabelle frowned and stared at him. “Grandpa isn’t terminally ill, is he?”Kendrick sighed and gave a wry smile. “Didn’t think you'd find out so soon.”“Was this your idea, or Grandpa’s?”“Of course it was the old man’s idea,” Kendrick immediately sold out h
I wish it were you Chapter 1073 The Gregory Family Is Really Too Much, Huh
Grandpa’s friend asked, “Hey Gregory, why are you looking up this illness if there’s nothing wrong? You’ve been having headaches or something?”“No, of course not! I’m doing perfectly fine. Do I look like someone who’s sick?”The old gentleman studied him for a moment. “You don’t.”“I just needed some information on that illness, so I looked into it a bit. Anyway, we’re getting older. It doesn’t hurt to stay informed…”…As Grandpa Gregory continued chatting, he and his friend walked away from the hallway corner and didn’t head toward Annabelle.She remained quietly seated, her thoughts a tangled mess.It was possible that Grandpa had just concealed his condition from his friend.But judging from his energy and glow, he didn’t seem ill at all. He even said he played golf a few days ago.Things were clear now—Grandpa Gregory wasn’t sick. He’d faked an illness just to push her and Kendrick to have a child sooner.Knowing Grandpa was healthy let Annabelle finally breathe a sigh of relief
I wish it were you Chapter 1072 He's Pretty Good at Guessing
Just then, Anna gently took his hand and gave it a little shake, pulling Kendrick out of his thoughts.“He got hurt because of me, and yes, I was really worried and felt guilty. But it wasn’t the kind of concern you’re thinking of. That kind of worry, the one that comes from the heart—I’ve only ever felt that way for you… Do you understand now?”The little woman looked up at him, as if scared he’d misunderstand.Kendrick’s heart softened in an instant. He kissed her on the forehead and said, “Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore.”Then he led her over to the seats by the hallway.Her waist was injured—standing would only tire her out, and there was no rush to get the X-ray done. After the explosion and fire yesterday, she was clearly terrified and needed comforting.“Does your waist still hurt badly?” he asked.Anna nodded, but quickly added seriously, “I didn’t let him treat me!”Kendrick sighed, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her hair. “Silly girl, I never blamed
