Chapter 299 Mr. Gregory's Patience Has Run Out
Last Updated:
2025-03-03 18:04:38Kendrick said earnestly, "Secondly, after celebrating that kid's birthday, come back immediately without any delay, I will personally pick you up at the airport."
Annabelle couldn't help but laugh. Rarely did he make such a reasonable request, so she readily agreed, "Okay, I promise you."
Actually, it was also very soon. In the second week after Kendrick left, it was Henri's birthday.
Robin held a small party for his son, dressed in a little tuxedo, looking like a handsome little prince.
The party invited his best friends on a regular basis. When the chubby boy saw Annabelle, he excitedly asked Henri, "Is this your future mom?"
Annabelle thought that Henri would say "yes" without hesitation, but she saw Henri furrow his brows and say to the chubby boy, "No, this is my aunt. She is my mother's sister. Please stop saying things randomly."
Annabelle was taken aback and looked towards Robin beside her.
Robin smiled at her and then ruffled

A few minutes later, the plane had already climbed to an altitude of ten thousand meters and the interior gradually became stable.Annabelle took the plush blanket that Jax handed to her and was about to take a rest when she unintentionally noticed the long scar on the back of his hand, causing her pupils to shrink.Three days ago, when she was shopping on Glubia Street, Jax used his hand to teach a small thug who was trying to harass her a lesson.That scene, thinking about it now, still makes Annabelle's heart race.But it was also this hand that once held a small harmonica and sat by the lake playing a tune called "Oldloch". Although the harmonica had a few notes that were out of tune, the melody was heartfelt and enchanting, leaving a deep impression on Annabelle.Throughout, in Annabelle's heart, Jax has always been the type of person who speaks few harsh words. He is tall, strong, with neat short hair and an aura of solemnity, to the extent t

Annabelle asked Jax a question that she knew he would answer, "Jax, how old are you?""28."He was actually six years older than her.Remembering how she usually called Jax so smoothly, Annabelle felt a cold sweat on her back when the thought of calling him Jax crossed her mind. If she dared to call him that, Kendrick would probably either kill her or kill Jax.Annabelle pushed away her jumbled thoughts and continued to ask, "Did your family support you running around with Kendrick?""No family.""Sorry."Jax shook his head, meaning not to worry.Annabelle sighed, wondering if Jax had been abandoned by his family like her or if something had happened at home.This was not something that made people happy, so Annabelle quickly switched to the next question."When I was at Glubia, Kendrick said there was a room for you in the villa, but I noticed you rarely stayed over. Was it because he paid you too little, and you

When I left Elfhedge, it was still autumn. But when I returned, it was already deep winter.Thinking about everything that had happened in the past few months, Annabelle felt a wave of sadness.Kendrick walked towards her and took off his overcoat, wrapping it around her."Didn't I tell you about the temperature here? Why are you still wearing so little?"Although it had only been two weeks since they had parted ways at Glubia, seeing each other now made Annabelle feel as if it had been a long time.It seemed as if this was the true reunion.Annabelle wrapped herself in a coat that still had his body temperature, and her heart gradually warmed up. She said, "Thinking that I will get in the car as soon as I get off the plane, it's just a few steps away, I won't freeze."Kendrick helped her adjust the collar of her windbreaker again and then said to Jax, "You've had a tough journey. I'll give you a ride to the parking lot first, Jaime's

Ever since she smiled and said goodbye to Jax just now, Kendrick has been feeling sour.She was kind to people, which was her advantage. Kendrick also noticed it, and even Jax, who was extremely difficult to accept others, rarely showed a smile to her.You see, Jax had been following Kendrick for so long, and Kendrick hadn't even seen him smile much.But when she started praising other men, Kendrick felt very uncomfortable. Why could she always notice the good qualities in others but not see the good in him?Annabelle glanced at the rearview mirror again and remembered her conversation with Jax on the plane. She then said to Kendrick, "By the way, there's something I want to tell you, I hope you'll agree."Mr. Gregory, who was feeling sour in his heart, at this moment, did not look away and said calmly, "As long as it is reasonable."Annabelle couldn't help but squint her eyes. This sentence sounded very familiar, as if she had said it to hi
Last Updated : 2025-03-03I wish it were you Chapter 304 If You Forget It Again, There Will Be Consequences
Annabelle was very thin-skinned. She thought he was still telling dirty jokes and wished she could plug her ears and not listen. So she didn't respond and stopped looking at him. She also didn't dare to mention anything about learning boxing from Jax anymore.Forty minutes later, the car drove into Violet Villa.The dim yellow lights on both sides of the corridor were quietly spread throughout the corridor, exceptionally tranquil and gentle.Annabelle couldn't help but roll down the car window, and the cool air seeped into the car. However, she didn't feel cold because at that moment, her heart was filled with a warm feeling of coming home.In the following period of time, I would live here, and not far away is Gauge's home, perhaps occasionally I could visit the very friendly Simon's home.With this in mind, Annabelle's mood became even more joyful, and the corners of her lips involuntarily curved upwards."So happy?""Well, it felt

Annabelle's cheeks grew warm, and she quickly looked down to change her shoes. She shouldn't have provoked him.The key is, this guy is always confessing, isn't he ever embarrassed...Afterwards, Kendrick took her to the master bedroom on the third floor by elevator and asked Annabelle to take a shower first before showing her the house.So Annabelle quickly took a hot shower and changed into the white cotton loungewear that Kendrick had prepared for her, eager to visit the residence she had fought so hard to obtain.At this moment, Kendrick had already changed into a set of home clothes. He wore a loose white knitted sweater on the upper body and light gray cotton casual pants on the lower body. Holding her hand, they started descending from the third floor.There are three floors on the ground, each with a small terrace. Standing on the terrace, you can see the scenery in the small garden downstairs, with evergreen plants distributed in a scattered and orderly manner throughout the

Kendrick was afraid that the sudden vibration of the phone would ruin her mood and didn't want to interrupt Annabelle's excitement, so she quietly left the study.Annabelle saw Kendrick's back as he left through the reflective glass, and she also saw him answer a phone call as he pushed the door open.At the moment the door closed, she also heard the first sentence he said after answering the phone.He said, "I haven't forgotten, I will come to see you after this busy period."He lowered his voice and spoke softly, causing Annabelle's fingers to slow down. The once melodious rhythm she was playing became slow and hesitant.That might have been a call from an ordinary friend...But Annabelle saw the moment Kendrick picked up his phone, the conflict in his eyes.She remembered, over two months ago, that phone number ending in 68.Kendrick hardly ever answered that call in front of her, and even claimed it was a prank call. However, when he was hospitalized due to poisoning, he answered

Kendrick couldn't help but laugh after listening. "Don't worry, I wouldn't let anyone kidnap me again, and I would try to make them kidnap both of us, so that we can take care of each other."Knowing that he was joking, Annabelle still got angry and turned around to hit him, but her little hand was caught.Then Kendrick sat up, thinking he was going to play a trick again. Annabelle got scared and tightly wrapped herself in the blanket. However, to her surprise, he got off the bed and picked her up along with the blanket."Hello Kendrick!""I'll show you the snow outside, it was already very thick."He carried Annabelle to the window, placing her on the window sill, and held her from behind.Annabelle looked out of the window and saw that the earth was covered in a silver-white blanket, completely silent and still.She quietly watched the snow, her whole self being small, curled up in Kendrick's chest."Can you accompany me to see the snow this year, but maybe not next year? You are so

The car’s interior wasn’t small, but for someone as tall and broad as Kendrick, it still felt a little cramped.The only comfortable way was for him to sit on the seat while letting Anna sit on his lap.After another round of intense kissing, both were panting heavily. Kendrick’s hand slid to her waist and moved toward the button of her jeans.Annabelle instantly understood his intention.“Not here…” she pushed against his chest firmly.This was an underground parking lot. Although it was nearly empty at this hour, Annabelle was too shy and timid about such things—there was no way she’d dare do anything here.Kendrick gently caressed the back of her neck, as if trying to ease her wariness. “You don’t want to try it in the car?”Annabelle blushed deeper. “No. What if someone sees us…”Technically, it was just the two of them in the car, and the outside was silent. Still, being curled up in the backseat like this made her instinctively whisper.The big boss's eyes darkened. “You sure?”

Kendrick headed straight to the underground parking lot, met with Jax, and handed over Anna’s car keys.Jax was there to take Anna’s car to have the spare tire replaced with a new one. He popped the hood to check the engine, then inspected the exhaust and the other three tires.“Boss, nothing stands out. You think this accident was man-made?”“Better to be cautious.”A sudden flat on a smooth road with a perfectly fine tire—too suspicious to ignore.If it *was* man-made, Kendrick’s first suspect would be Ryan. But Ryan was also the least likely person to actually hurt Anna.Still, it could be like what happened last time in North City—when Ryan had someone spike his breakfast. It wasn't intended to harm Anna, but maybe a subordinate made a mistake or took action on their own. She almost ended up poisoned.This time might be something similar.And since the car had been parked in an open lot while Anna was away in North City, it wouldn't have been hard for someone to tamper with it.

Forty minutes later, the car smoothly entered the the Murphy Group's underground parking lot.Annabelle thought Kendrick would drive her car and leave right away, but instead, he turned off the engine and got out with her."Aren't you going to your business meeting?""My wife's more important."Annabelle glanced at him amused. "I'm already here. What else could happen?"Besides, Uncle Simon and Gauge were both around—they’d look after her.Kendrick simply smiled and said nothing.Since he insisted on coming along, Annabelle didn’t stop him. After all, it was his own work being delayed. Kendrick wasn’t the type to lack ambition—she doubted he wasn’t anxious about it.They entered the elevator together.As it rose, Annabelle grew more uneasy.Because of her, the entire team’s schedule had been delayed, especially the photographer’s itinerary. Her colleagues were likely displeased with her—some might even think she was pulling a diva stunt.She couldn’t help but glare at Kendrick again—t

Annabelle bit her lip and glared at him. “So can you change the tire now?”Kendrick sighed. “But you're still mad at me.”Annabelle tried to suppress the fire in her chest—but she failed.“Kendrick, if you don’t help, neither of us can go back. You’ll miss your contract meeting too. It’s not just my schedule being messed up—it’s yours too.”Kendrick chuckled. “It’s fine. I’m the client anyway. Being late isn’t a big deal.”Annabelle nearly coughed up blood. How could someone be so shameless?!Unwilling to argue with him anymore, she marched to the back of the car and popped open the trunk.If he wouldn't help, she’d change it herself!Worst case, she’d follow the instructions step by step. She didn’t believe she couldn’t manage without Kendrick.But after a few minutes, she’d made barely any progress.The instructions were clear enough, but trying to figure it out while fumbling around meant it might take her two hours at this pace.During those few minutes, Kendrick stood on the road
I wish it were you Chapter 1056 The "Scandal-Ridden" Old Fox
Annabelle found her little white car in the outdoor parking lot.The moment she sat down, Kendrick opened the passenger door and got in too.Annabelle frowned. “Kendrick, don’t you have your own car?”Kendrick cleared his throat. “Jax drove off with it. Jaime’s car is full.”“Then get a cab. I’m going to the Murphy Group, and it’s not on your way.”Kendrick sighed. “I was wrong before. I’m apologizing. Are you really planning to ignore me for the rest of your life?”Annabelle looked at him for two seconds. Alright, this guy is being shameless again. There’s no reasoning with him. Fine, she wouldn’t speak to him at all.She started the car.Kendrick fastened his seatbelt and gently reminded her, “Babe, seatbelt.”“...”Annabelle took a deep breath, stomped the brake, fastened her belt, and then stepped hard on the gas, speeding angrily out of the lot.Why was she so mad? Because this old fox had gone too far this time. She had to set some rules with him, or he’d just keep acting howeve

Julissa practically jumped up in relief, quickly getting dressed.The two of them left the sports hall together. As she walked behind Scott, Julissa reflected on her life choices. Why couldn’t she learn to keep her mouth shut? If she weren’t so quick to speak, she wouldn’t end up getting “bullied” by him every time.She suddenly understood why Anna had decided to take self-defense classes. Honestly, it was a necessity—especially when living with such a predatory alpha CEO. One wrong move and you’re flattened like a pancake. Totally defenseless.Yeah, maybe it was time to team up with Anna and sign up for taekwondo or kickboxing classes.Grumbling to herself, Julissa followed Scott into the first-floor restaurant, where they picked a quiet corner to sit.Her stomach had been growling for a while, but when faced with the menu, she froze—everything looked so good, she couldn't decide.She looked helplessly up at Scott.He chuckled. “Want me to choose for you?”She nodded seriously. She l

Scott chuckled and couldn't help but pull her onto his lap. “Aren’t you shy, hmm?”As he spoke, he ruffled her hair.Julissa pouted and smoothed her hair, clearly displeased. “You’re the one who asked, why mess up my hair?”Looking into her eyes, Scott’s gaze softened. “Because you’re adorable.”Julissa pressed her lips together but couldn’t hide her smile. She finally laughed out loud, genuinely happy.Then, Scott asked curiously, “If I had actually gone on a blind date with another woman today behind your back, what would you have done?”Julissa blinked, then raised her fingers in a scissor gesture, eyes sharp with mock fury. “Snip you.”“…You’d really go that far?”“You won’t even sleep with me anymore, what’s left for me to be sentimental about?”Scott rubbed his forehead with a laugh. “Didn’t expect such a feisty little thing.”“Hmph! So you better watch out, Mr. Nichols. When women get ruthless, they don’t care about consequences!”Scott didn’t say anything, but his hand slipped
I wish it were you Chapter 1053 Watch Carefully, This Is How You Play
About ten minutes later, Julissa was weak as a kitten, feeling like her soul had left her body.Scott had no intention of letting her off easy—he only gave her a short breather."Now tell me, how did you sneak in?" he asked.Julissa answered in a broken, breathless voice, "Isn't it because you're so ruthless? Charging five million for a membership card! I just happened to run into Liam, so I asked him to bring me in..."The moment she mentioned Liam's name, Scott bit her lip hard, making her gasp in pain.She knew he hated hearing that name—jealous of her past with Liam."But you were the one who asked...""Next time something happens, come to me," his voice was hoarse but firm.Julissa buried her flushed face in his chest and nodded obediently.The lights in the venue finally came back on.Scott, shirtless, sat lazily on the sofa smoking a cigarette.Julissa draped in his suit jacket, picked up a bowling ball and tossed it down the lane with an elegant stance—only for it to roll stra

As Scott hoisted her over his shoulder, Julissa pounded on his back, yelping and flailing like a startled kitten as they passed a seething Heather in the hallway.Heather stood frozen, jaw clenched so tightly her face twitched. She stomped hard on the marble floor, but even that wasn’t enough. With a guttural growl, she ripped a decorative painting off the wall and smashed it against the ground.A passing male staff member rushed over in alarm. “Miss, please calm—”Before he could finish, Heather slapped him across the face with a resounding smack.“Get lost!” she barked, her eyes bloodshot.The staff member clutched his cheek, stunned and humiliated. “Ma’am, you can’t just—”Just then, three men in black suits briskly approached.“Young Lady,” one of them said respectfully, “we’re here to escort you home.”Heather exhaled sharply, adjusted her outfit, and marched forward. Two of the men flanked her like a high-security VIP. The third paused, walked over to the staff member, patted hi
