Chapter 281 Kendrick Is Losing Control
Last Updated:
2025-03-01 18:06:50Kendrick had some acquaintance with the host of the mansion where the banquet was held, and as someone of his status, it was very easy for him to get the invitation, so he came.
And then I saw a scene where she and that Crystalironese man were incredibly harmonious and well-matched.
The man said something unknown, making her lower her head and chuckle.
Then the man unexpectedly patted the hand she had placed on his arm, and she blushed!
Kendrick felt like he was losing control. He just wanted to rush over immediately and carry the young woman on his shoulders back home.
Just at that moment, the symphony orchestra in front of the banquet hall started playing a harmonious waltz, and the opening dance officially began.
Kendrick barely suppressed his anger and took a sip of champagne.
Watching her dance gracefully with that Crystalironese man, it reminded me of the first time they danced that same dance at their engagement banquet.

Annabelle walked out of the villa and crossed a short corridor, finally arriving at a deserted place, where she breathed a sigh of relief.At that moment, someone tapped her shoulder from behind.Annabelle was startled and turned around to see a blond-haired, blue-eyed man from Welledgese.It wasn't Kendrick, she breathed a sigh of relief.Later, she heard the man say in Crystalironese, "Beautiful Coldburnese princess, what made you leave in such a hurry? There are still two hours until the clock strikes twelve. Isn't it too early to escape now? Why not dance with me again, maybe I am your prince."Annabelle had a black line on her face. This man was so clueless, spouting cheesy sweet talk that was on par with Marvin."Sorry, I wasn't interested."Annabelle said and then tried to walk around the man.I thought that the people who came here would at least have some dignity, regardless of whether they had any dignity in private.

Annabelle turned around and looked, but she didn't see Kendrick's figure either. It seemed like he didn't follow.Being in a strange place, Annabelle found herself trapped in this maze garden again. All the fears came rushing in, making her feel anxious and confused. She started wandering aimlessly, but wherever she went, there was always a wall.When her fear reached its peak, a pair of arms embraced her."Why are you running around? If you get lost, just wait in the same place, I will come and find you."Although Kendrick was blaming, his tone was gentle.Annabelle's nose tingled, and she said, "The people I was waiting for, none of them came back, you don't have to say such nice things... um..."Before she could finish speaking, Kendrick had already kissed her lips.He kissed passionately, he kissed lingeringly, conveying to her all the longing he had for her during these days through this silent way.Annabelle initially str

Torture? Annabelle sneered."Kendrick, it was clearly you who tormented me."He already had a fiancée, yet he still flirted with her. What is it if not torment?She twisted her body, trying to break free from Kendrick's embrace.But the man's hands were always tightly holding onto her, as if afraid that if he let go, she would fly away."Come back with me, we can still get along like we used to, as long as you stay by my side."Annabelle thought bitterly, how could it be the same as before.What did you stay by his side for, as a mistress?"It's impossible, let go of me."Kendrick's deep eyes grew even darker, filled with pain and confusion.He didn't expect Annabelle to be so determined.When Annabelle left him, it was because she misunderstood that he wanted to kill Lisa, and she didn't want him to commit a crime. It wasn't because she disliked him that she left.Why, after not seeing each o

Annabelle was startled, her back was sweating. She thought about how Kendrick wanted to kill Lisa before, and even gouge out her corneas. Moreover, Kendrick looked really terrifying at the moment.He might really speak and do as well...In order to temporarily avoid angering Kendrick and preventing him from hurting Robin and Henri, Annabelle had no choice but to say to Robin, "I will go with him first, don't worry..."Robin's eyes darkened, and his shoulders slumped dejectedly.Kendrick then once again picked up the person horizontally, turned around, and left without giving her a chance to speak to Robin again.Annabelle was so anxious that she slapped his chest and said, "Put me down and let me walk by myself!""Not let go.""They were all watching."At that time, there were guests in the garden, all of them were looking this way.Annabelle attended the banquet as Robin's companion, but she was taken away by another ma

The car drove through the internal corridor, with a lake on one side and presumably a flower field on the other side, but it was too dark to see clearly, only a dark shadow could be seen.When Annabelle lived in the Kirby's mansion, she had seen the buildings on this side of the lake and had been curious about this estate because in his estate, there were large fields of flowers planted along the hillside, giving the impression that he was a person who loved flowers.She had never thought that it would be Kendrick's house.Not far ahead, there stood a white building, with warm yellow lights shining through the transparent windows, reflecting on the surface of the lake, creating a shimmering and dreamlike effect.Annabelle suddenly felt very magical.I thought I would never have any intimate interaction with him again, at most just going to handle the divorce procedures and seeing him one last time when moving.I didn't expect to meet him her

"It was written in the news," Annabelle replied."Gossip news? It was fake."Annabelle blinked her eyes. She had always thought that Kendrick disliked gossip news exposing his own information, so if it was fake news, he would immediately have his people take it down, which is why she didn't suspect it.Now thinking about it, there were so many small media outlets everywhere, even though Kendrick was talented, he probably didn't have the time to personally manage each one.Well, even if the news was fake, that photo of us hugging, it couldn't be fake.Thinking about the situation where the two of them embraced, Annabelle furrowed her brow again."Is Robin really your fiancé?"Annabelle said irritably, "Didn't I say it before?""Did he ever kiss you?"When asked, Kendrick had already narrowed his dangerous eyes, but Annabelle didn't turn around and couldn't see his expression, so she fearlessly said, "Of course."

Annabelle was tossed and turned by Kendrick's kiss, with countless chaotic thoughts flashing through her mind.I haven't seen him for so many days, so it would be a lie to say that I haven't thought about him at all.But reason told her that she should reject him, at least not now.Because the doctor said so, it is best not to have sexual intercourse within three months after the surgery. After three months, one should also be very cautious.Light comes not easily; it must be made to stop.But why did both hands become soft and tender, with fingertips involuntarily slipping into his hair, even emitting an unfamiliar soft and low hum...Until Jax's voice came from outside the door."Boss, Ariana has arrived and is waiting outside the mansion gate."Kendrick paused for a moment, leaving Annabelle's lips, and that long and powerful hand, which had been sliding towards her lower abdomen, also came to a halt."What did you co

She was not in a hurry...Without waiting for Annabelle to retort, Kendrick quickly planted a kiss on her cheek and left the room.After his footsteps faded away, Annabelle blushed and sat up, regretting her earlier loss of control. She then changed into that super cute pajamas, ran her fingers through her hair, and finally went downstairs.Kendrick was sitting on the main seat of the double sofa, while Jax stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, silent and alert.Ariana sat on a solitary sofa, looking uneasy. Her fingers were constantly twisting, and she dared not meet Kendrick's gaze.Watching her unnatural movements, Annabelle wondered what play Ariana was going to perform today.As soon as Ariana saw Annabelle approaching, she immediately stood up and looked at her eyes with concern, saying, "Annabelle, Ken just said that your eyesight has recovered, that's great! I've been worried about you.""Um, thank you... please have a seat."

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

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

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! (fake smile emoji)”…Meanwhile, Annabelle was in the dressing room, waiting for the rehearsal to start.Someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned and saw one of the models

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
