2025-03-03 18:06:31Annabelle 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

I wish it were you   Chapter 302 He Seems Quite Gentle Too
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
āļāļĢāļąāļāļāļĢāļļāļāļĨāđāļēāļŠāļļāļ : 2025-03-03I wish it were you   Chapter 303 Dirty Talks
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

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

Annabelle looked at Kendrick with a puzzled expression on her face."When did you use my card? How come I didn't know?"The key is, she didn't have that much money anymore, it had all been drained by Kendrick.Kendrick no longer hid from her and explained everything honestly.Before, she and Fabian were photographed on their way back to the apartment by someone. Actually, the photographer didn't blackmail them because the person taking the photos was Jax. At that time, Jax made Annabelle transfer 80 thousand dollars to him as a warning punishment.After hearing his words, Annabelle, who had always been a woman of words rather than actions, became so angry that she clenched her fist and turned around to hit Kendrick."You clearly had so much money, did you not feel guilty for bullying a young girl?"This time, Mr. Gregory didn't dodge and took a solid little punch, although it didn't hurt much."I was also reminding you to be cautious in your words and actions in the future. If those k

Annabelle is now clever; she avoids confronting Kendrick directly and instead employs indirect tactics.After a while, Kendrick said, "As for boxing, let's wait until your eyes are better, but I can be the one to teach you.""..."Is this the legendary, damn possessiveness...Annabelle didn't achieve her wish, so she silently deducted five points from him in her heart.After chatting for a while, Annabelle had already recovered from her unpleasant dream and her mood had returned to calm. However, tiredness quickly came over her.In no time, she couldn't open her eyes in Kendrick's arms.Kendrick put her back on the bed, and that night, she slept soundly in Kendrick's arms.I slept until nine o'clock in the morning, so soundly that I didn't even realize it.There was a message from Kendrick in the phone. He had already gone to the company. Breakfast was in the microwave in the kitchen, so she could heat it up and eat it when she woke up.He didn't come home at noon, but he will come ba

Scott looked down at her, eyes gleaming with a smile. He did look like a man who had gotten what he wantedâbut more than that, he looked fulfilled, as if life itself had reached a perfect state.âAre you hungry?â he asked.Julissa had just had some intense âexerciseâ and didnât have much appetite. She shook her head.âTired?â he asked again.âA little.âHer cheeks were flushed, her eyes bright like a mischievous fairy whoâd just stolen a magical elixirâScott couldnât take his eyes off her. The desire in his gaze deepened.He flipped over, hovering above his little fairy. âThenâĶ how about one more round?ââĶThey started on the couch and ended in the bedroom.After this round, Julissa was completely wiped out, lying boneless on the bed. She no longer looked like a fairy who stole elixirsâmore like someone whoâd had her spirit energy drained.âReally tired?â asked a certain CEO with exaggerated concern.Julissa gave him a weak, death-glare.The man scratched his head and chuckled sheepis
I wish it were you   Chapter 989 A Blissful Little Bird
Seeing the bright, playful light in her eyes, Scott instantly understood her answer. A slow smile spread across his face, and he didn't bother to banter anymore. With a swift, fluid motion, he lifted her into his arms, cradling her close to his body. The warmth of his touch sent shivers down her spine, and she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness wash over her.He kissed her deeply. The world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the intensity of their connection. The bedroom suddenly felt too far away, so they stopped in the living room, where the sofa beckoned with its wide, soft cushions.As Scott gently laid her down on the sofa, Julissa felt a surge of panic. That one time in the pastâher memory was too fuzzy. She could barely recall anything. This felt much more like her first time.And when Scott took off his shirt, revealing his healthy tan skin and well-defined muscles, Julissa realizedâit was really happening. She was unbelievably nervous. Her mind raced with a t
I wish it were you   Chapter 988 A Visual Shock
Julissa's heart raced as she met Scott's gaze. She knew exactly what he was asking, and the weight of his question pressed down on her. In the past, she would have replied without hesitation: Of course not! But now, the balance in her heart had already tipped. She knew how much she liked Scott. She also knew she longed for a deeper, more intimate connection with him. The thought of being closer to him, of sharing that level of intimacy, was both thrilling and terrifying.However, there was a promise she couldn't ignore. She had made a blood oath to her mom! Sheâd sworn that if she ever slept with Scott before marriage, she would lose her sense of taste and never enjoy food again. The memory of that promise was a heavy burden, and the fear of losing something so fundamental to her daily life was daunting. If that really came true, what joy would be left in the rest of her life?Scott looked at her, a bit anxious. His eyes searched hers, seeking an answer. âWhy that expression? Are you
I wish it were you   Chapter 987 Love at First Sight
Julissa was on the verge of tears. She wanted to get up but, considering the state she was in, she felt too embarrassed. She forced out two words: âIâm fine.âScott held her by the shoulders, helped her up from the ground, and pulled her into his arms.Because she was wearing so little, she shivered from the cold. Scott held her even tighter.Julissa buried her flushed face into his chest, feeling the chill of his body but also catching the fresh, masculine scent from his embrace.âWhy did you suddenly show upâĶâ she asked quietly.Scott gently ran his hand down her smooth back. âIâve been following you the whole way. You didnât notice?âJulissa looked up at him. âIf you were following me, didnât you see how heavy that jar I was carrying was? Why didnât you help me?âHer little complaint sounded more like she was being coquettish.Scott replied, âIt was something your mom gave you. Of course, you had to carry it yourself.âJulissa shot him a look, smiling.So pettyâstill jealous?âI di

Scott agreed so easily that Julissa couldnât help but feel a wave of disappointment.But there was nothing she could say, so she sulkily repeated,âThen go ahead and move back home.âFor the rest of the workday, Julissa remained in a listless, melancholic state.When it was finally time to leave, she clocked out as usual and headed to the elevator with Mr. Nichols.She pressed the button for the first floor.Scott, meanwhile, pressed B2âthe underground parking level.Julissa really wanted to cancel her floor selection and go with him, but she held herself back.When the elevator reached the first floor, she turned to look at Scott.âThenâĶ Iâll get going firstâĶâThe CEO smiled and said,âSee you tomorrow, Miss Hickman.âShe gave him another glance, puffed out her cheeks, then walked out of the elevator with her head down.Since her apartment was close to the office, she could just walk home.Clutching a jar of salted eggs in her arms, Julissa trudged down the sidewalk. The jar felt rid

Julissa suddenly heard her name mentioned and instantly sat up straight.Please, please, let Mr. Nichols not say I was eavesdroppingâĶ That would be so embarrassingâĶThankfully, Scott wasnât that blunt.âJulissaâs busy downstairs,â he replied.âDid you need something from her?ââNot really,â Yvette said. âI came to see her a while ago and said some inappropriate things. I feel really sorry about it. I was hoping to apologize in person, but since sheâs busy, could you please pass along my apology?ââSure, Iâll let her know.âHearing this, Julissa finally felt a sense of relief.She understood Senior Yvette better now. And she understood Scott even more.All her worries had been unnecessaryâScott had clearly known exactly what he was doing all along.As for Senior Yvetteâs feelings toward him, they were just a projection of her longing for happiness after a failed marriageânothing more.Thankfully, she had figured it out in the end.Julissa stopped listening to the rest of the conversati
I wish it were you   Chapter 984 My Destination Is Myself
âItâs alright, Iâm not busy right now,â Scott said.âCome sit over here.âJulissa kept her ears trained on the sounds outside.She could tell that Senior Yvette and Scott had moved over to the sofa area and sat down.Then she heard Senior Yvette speak first:âThis is the key to your family house. Julian gave it to me before. Heâs not in Elfhedge right now, so Iâll return it to you.ââYouâve decided to go back to Tokyo?ââYeah. My parents have forgiven me, but after all these years apart, living together again feelsâĶ awkwardâfor all of us. I can already imagine, pretty soon theyâll start trying to set me up with someone again. But I just want some peace and quiet for now, so Iâve decided to go back to Tokyo. Iâm used to life there anyway.âScott paused for a couple of seconds.âAs long as youâre sure.âYvette continued:âOh, andâĶ you helped me hire a lawyer, paid for my treatmentsâit was a lot. I went through all the expenses and put the total in this card. The PIN is the last six digi

After hanging up the phone, Scott turned to Julissa and said,âDonât leave yet. Yvette is here. Go wait in the lounge for a bit.âJulissa paused for a moment.Letting her stay in the loungeâĶ wasn't that basically asking her to listen in on their conversation?âIf Iâm in there, Iâll hear everything you say. Is that okay?âScott walked up to her and gave her cheek a gentle pinch.âItâs because I donât want you overthinking things that Iâm letting you stay and listen.âJulissa rubbed her cheek, muttering lightly,âWell, youâre the one letting me hear itâdonât blame me for eavesdropping later.ââMm, Iâm letting you,â Scott nodded with a soft smile, looking at her like she was a little kid.Julissa didnât care about that look.Honestly, she did feel a bit uneasy about how close Senior Yvette and Scott seemed. So if she could listen to their conversation, why not?With light steps, she walked into the lounge and gently closed the door behind her, leaving it slightly ajar.Ever since Yvette

Scott chuckled helplessly. âThe perfumer remembers the formula. If you like it, Iâll have her make a few more bottles for you to keep. You can have as much as you want in the future.âOnly then did Julissa relax.She had thought it was a one-of-a-kind custom blend, something Scott had specially commissionedâa limited edition, gone once used up.âYou shouldâve said that earlier, Mr. Nichols. I was worried Iâd run out.âScott smiled faintly, reaching up to pinch her soft earlobe. His voice dropped low: âAnd the clothesâdid you wear them?âJulissaâs cheeks flushed. She gave a sly grin: âNot telling you.âScottâs lips curled slightly. This little woman had gotten bolder and bolder. Did she really not realize how dangerous she always was around him?âThen Iâll see for myself.â As he spoke, his arm tightened slightly.Julissa found herself pressed against him, and what really made her heart race was that his hand had already landed on the second button of her blouse.His fingers toyed
