Marvin asked his mother at that time how she planned to help.

The mother did not answer him, she just said to wait and see.

In short, once he had prepared for a lifelong battle, he was no longer as impatient as before, as long as he ensured to live a healthy life, living longer than Kendrick would be enough.

Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the parking lot of the Gregory Group.

Afterwards, Marvin and Annabelle took the president's private elevator together and arrived at the floor where Kendrick's office was located.

After he planned to drop off Annabelle, he happened to meet Jaime right after getting off the elevator. He handed Annabelle over to Jaime and left to attend to his own matters.

"Was Kendrick busy? I need to talk to him."

"The president was in a meeting."

"Then I went to the office and waited."

With that, Annabelle headed towards the president's office, while Jaime hurriedly followed behind, carrying two large bags, thinking that the president must be having a meet

    He had a serious expression on his face, which made Annabelle a little nervous.And the people in the conference room behind him were also gossiping and looking at them at this moment. Although there was a glass door separating them, Annabelle couldn't help but breathe lightly and whispered, "After shopping at the supermarket, I wanted to come and have lunch with you."She didn't want to bring up the matter of learning to drive now, nor would she bring it up now.Kendrick frowned and glanced at her for a moment. Based on his understanding of his little wife, with her introverted and mildly socially anxious personality, it was impossible for her to suddenly come to his company to have lunch with him.So there must be something, maybe just not convenient to say it now?No matter what the reason was, Kendrick was very happy to suddenly see her.So he took her little hand and held it, not cold.Knowing that she was not cold, Kendrick grabbed the yarn ball on her hat and took off her hat.

    Annabelle quickly sat up and checked the time. It was already half past twelve, and she felt a bit sleepy."Did you have lunch?""No, I was waiting for you," Kendrick hooked his arm around her waist, almost trapping her on the couch."What were you doing..."Kendrick glanced at her lips and asked, "Jaime said you came with Marvin?"Annabelle nodded and said, "After coming out of the supermarket, I ran into him on the roadside. Since I couldn't catch a taxi, I asked him to give me a ride.""Did you guys have a good connection?"Annabelle chuckled, "Yeah, I think so too..."What she thought was that Ariana and I were the ones who truly had a connection.Kendrick didn't know what she was thinking, but after listening to her, he directly bit her lips."Hiss!""Do you still feel destined to be with Marvin?"Annabelle shook her head vigorously.Kendrick finally felt more comfortable and temporarily let her go."By the way, why did you suddenly come to see me?""I have made up my mind, I wan

    Because Kendrick mentioned Jax, Annabelle said, "By the way, I have something to give to Jax, but I don't usually see him much. Can you help me pass it on to him?"Kendrick was slicing the steak with a knife, then he looked up and said, "For Jax?""Hmm." Annabelle took out a small black velvet box from her bag, about the same size as a glasses case.Kendrick acidly took it over, giving her a faint glance, "What is it.""You can open and take a look." Annabelle was still a little excited.Kendrick was not polite and opened the box.It was a very delicate harmonica.Taking another glance at the little woman across from him, he saw her looking at him with anticipation, as if waiting for him to evaluate how the gift was.Kendrick's sour feeling increased exponentially, and his complexion became increasingly unpleasant."Why did you give him this?""I noticed that at least three notes on his harmonica were out of tune. It must be due to damaged reeds. I guess he doesn't have time to buy th

    This was the place where he initially practiced driving. The road was wide and there were very few vehicles. The scenery on both sides was also beautiful, with green slopes on both sides. On one side, beyond the green median strip, there was a beach, and in the distance, there was a boundless sea.The winter sea, although not as azure and bright as it appears in spring and summer, was a beautiful sight on this day. The gentle breeze and sunny weather made the sea glisten like a layer of diamonds under the slanting rays of the setting sun.But Annabelle was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, she was feeling a bit nervous at the moment."Did I go on the road directly on my first day of learning to drive?"She couldn't even tell which one was the accelerator and which one was the brake.Wasn't this joking about someone else's life?"Today, I will take you to a scenic place, talk to you about car structures, and enjoy the sea breeze. Starting tomorrow, we will go to a dedicated trainin

    In the cramped space, Kendrick's breath instantly enveloped her, his handsome face magnified infinitely, making her feel as if she had been immobilized by a spell, unable to move, her heart pounding.A few brief seconds later, he released Annabelle. "This is the tuition fee for each day, but next time you have to pay it voluntarily."Annabelle blinked her eyes and said, "Is that all?"Kendrick glanced up and asked with a smile, "So what else do you want?""No, no, just like this is fine!"Although this person took advantage of her at every opportunity, which was very dishonest, Annabelle could still accept it if it was just a kiss. After all, it wasn't the first time, and that's probably the scary thing about habits...Kendrick restarted the car and drove south along Graflet Avenue.This was not the way home; Annabelle curiously asked him where they were going next.Kendrick chuckled, "Let's go to a nice place, it's probably another half an hour away. If it gets boring, we can listen

    Annabelle took a deep breath and looked into the distance. The vast sea was covered with the warm, slanting sunlight, hiding the turbulent undercurrents beneath the water's surface. In his warm embrace, Annabelle momentarily forgot that it was still winter."Are you the one who brought me here specifically to see the sea?"Kendrick gently rested his chin on her head, "In the past, when I felt down or when the pressure was too much, I would come here to look at the sea. I remember you said you really liked the ocean, so I had wanted to bring you here for a long time."Annabelle did indeed like this place, but what surprised her even more was that Kendrick, who had always been calm and composed, would also have moments of frustration and great pressure."I thought you could handle everything with ease.""It is only through experiencing more that one becomes at ease," he paused and smiled, "But since we got married, I haven't been here."Annabelle was staring at the sea absentmindedly an

    After Kendrick finished speaking, he kissed Annabelle again.He kissed passionately, as if it didn't matter whether it was under the barrel of a gun or on the edge of a cliff, as long as he was doing this, he could give it his all...Annabelle sighed inwardly, for at that moment her heart was almost leaping out of her throat.She slightly opened her eyes and looked past his shoulder at the giant rock he was talking about.A gust of sea breeze blew over, messing up Annabelle's hair and obstructing her vision.Annabelle didn't even dare to touch her hair, afraid that it would seem unnatural and let the killer know that they had already discovered him. If she panicked and fired a shot, it would be all over.So Annabelle turned her head to the other side, unaware, truly believing that she and Kendrick were passionately and wholeheartedly kissing.After turning his head towards this side, he casually flicked away the hair that was obstructing his view.Annabelle saw clearly.There was real

    Although Kendrick was mentally tense, Annabelle took the initiative to straddle him, kissed him, and said words that made his mind wander. This made him unable to control his thoughts and think of many colorful things.Annabelle puffed her cheeks and muttered softly, "I didn't gain weight recently..."Kendrick cleared his throat and said, "Actually, there are other ways for him to separate us and then shoot me, but he hasn't done anything yet, probably for some other reason. Just stay obediently in my arms and don't move around, you know?""Is it so?""Well, trust my judgment.""Well then..." Annabelle, with an incredibly nervous heart, stared fixedly at the sea in front of her.I wondered if that person would lose control. What if Kendrick got killed?The more she thought, the more scared she became, but unfortunately, besides waiting, it seemed like she couldn't do anything else.The two of them enjoyed the sea breeze for over ten minutes. Annabelle started sneezing, and Kendrick be

    Scott looked down at her, eyes gleaming with a smile. He did look like a man who had gotten what he wanted—but more than that, he looked fulfilled, as if life itself had reached a perfect state.“Are you hungry?” he asked.Julissa had just had some intense ‘exercise’ and didn’t have much appetite. She shook her head.“Tired?” he asked again.“A little.”Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes bright like a mischievous fairy who’d just stolen a magical elixir—Scott couldn’t take his eyes off her. The desire in his gaze deepened.He flipped over, hovering above his little fairy. “Then… how about one more round?”…They 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 elixirs—more like someone who’d had her spirit energy drained.“Really tired?” asked a certain CEO with exaggerated concern.Julissa gave him a weak, death-glare.The man scratched his head and chuckled sheepis

    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 past—her 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 realized—it was really happening. She was unbelievably nervous. Her mind raced with a t

    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! She’d 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. “Why that expression? Are you

    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: “I’m fine.”Scott 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.“Why did you suddenly show up…” she asked quietly.Scott gently ran his hand down her smooth back. “I’ve been following you the whole way. You didn’t notice?”Julissa looked up at him. “If you were following me, didn’t you see how heavy that jar I was carrying was? Why didn’t you help me?”Her little complaint sounded more like she was being coquettish.Scott replied, “It was something your mom gave you. Of course, you had to carry it yourself.”Julissa shot him a look, smiling.So petty—still jealous?“I di

    Scott agreed so easily that Julissa couldn’t help but feel a wave of disappointment.But there was nothing she could say, so she sulkily repeated,“Then go ahead and move back home.”For 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 B2—the 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.“Then… I’ll get going first…”The CEO smiled and said,“See you tomorrow, Miss Hickman.”She 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 eavesdropping… That would be so embarrassing…Thankfully, Scott wasn’t that blunt.“Julissa’s busy downstairs,” he replied.“Did you need something from her?”“Not really,” Yvette said. “I 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 she’s busy, could you please pass along my apology?”“Sure, I’ll let her know.”Hearing 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 unnecessary—Scott had clearly known exactly what he was doing all along.As for Senior Yvette’s feelings toward him, they were just a projection of her longing for happiness after a failed marriage—nothing more.Thankfully, she had figured it out in the end.Julissa stopped listening to the rest of the conversati

    “It’s alright, I’m not busy right now,” Scott said.“Come sit over here.”Julissa 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:“This is the key to your family house. Julian gave it to me before. He’s not in Elfhedge right now, so I’ll return it to you.”“You’ve decided to go back to Tokyo?”“Yeah. My parents have forgiven me, but after all these years apart, living together again feels… awkward—for all of us. I can already imagine, pretty soon they’ll start trying to set me up with someone again. But I just want some peace and quiet for now, so I’ve decided to go back to Tokyo. I’m used to life there anyway.”Scott paused for a couple of seconds.“As long as you’re sure.”Yvette continued:“Oh, and… you helped me hire a lawyer, paid for my treatments—it 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,“Don’t leave yet. Yvette is here. Go wait in the lounge for a bit.”Julissa paused for a moment.Letting her stay in the lounge… wasn't that basically asking her to listen in on their conversation?“If I’m in there, I’ll hear everything you say. Is that okay?”Scott walked up to her and gave her cheek a gentle pinch.“It’s because I don’t want you overthinking things that I’m letting you stay and listen.”Julissa rubbed her cheek, muttering lightly,“Well, you’re the one letting me hear it—don’t blame me for eavesdropping later.”“Mm, I’m letting you,” Scott nodded with a soft smile, looking at her like she was a little kid.Julissa didn’t 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. “The perfumer remembers the formula. If you like it, I’ll have her make a few more bottles for you to keep. You can have as much as you want in the future.”Only then did Julissa relax.She had thought it was a one-of-a-kind custom blend, something Scott had specially commissioned—a limited edition, gone once used up.“You should’ve said that earlier, Mr. Nichols. I was worried I’d run out.”Scott smiled faintly, reaching up to pinch her soft earlobe. His voice dropped low: “And the clothes—did you wear them?”Julissa’s cheeks flushed. She gave a sly grin: “Not telling you.”Scott’s lips curled slightly. This little woman had gotten bolder and bolder. Did she really not realize how dangerous she always was around him?“Then I’ll see for myself.” 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
