His eyebrows grew very well, thick but not messy, and his eyelashes were really long, said to be a symbol of intelligence. Kendrick is indeed quite smart.

Annabelle thought carefully and, although in the eyes of most people, her greatest skill was in business, she actually had many other talents.

He could cook, although not as good as a chef, but better than many people. Anyway, Annabelle, who was not proficient in cooking, felt inferior.

She had also looked at Kendrick's bookshelf, and all the books on it, he must have read them all, because there wasn't a single book that was completely brand new. Philosophy, history, military... perhaps that's why he was smarter than others?

As for sports, swimming, diving, and golf were all above the level of amateur players. It seemed like he also knew free combat and kickboxing, as I had seen a medal in his study.

He also had knowledge of music theory, although not as much as her. However, Annabelle had also heard him play the piano, and it was

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 326 He's Becoming More and More Outrageous

    Annabelle was taken aback and nervously smiled, "Oh? Are you awake?""It seems like the illness has completely healed?" Kendrick looked at her ambiguously, while his hand gently squeezed her slender waist.Annabelle's face turned red. "Don't misunderstand me, I was just... just...""Hmm?" Kendrick looked at her with a half-smile, "Just what?"Annabelle bit her lip, thinking that if she confessed to stealing the phone, it would be like giving herself away.But if not telling the truth, then what to say, should I say I want to give him a morning kiss?No way, no way, if she dares to make up stories like that, Kendrick would definitely go ahead and make it a done deal right away."I wanted to delete the photos you secretly took of me, but I only unlocked your screen without looking at any of the content on your phone or touching your photo album. That's it."Annabelle was about to leave him as she spoke, but Kendrick felt that this perspective of her was refreshing and it felt good, so h

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 327 As Always

    Kendrick couldn't help but laugh, "Jax is just avoiding suspicion. When I am around in the future, you can go and treat him, and he won't shut the door on you."Sure enough, with Kendrick's company, Annabelle went to treat Jax again, and Jax became more cooperative.Annabelle didn't blame Kendrick, but she also felt that she should be more careful in the future. After all, she was not just a doctor, but also Kendrick's wife in Jax's eyes. She should avoid suspicion so as not to make others feel uncomfortable.After recovering from her illness, Annabelle thought about learning to drive and also about returning to school for classes.So I called Kamila and asked about the progress of the course and if there were any changes to the schedule.Kamila said that the classes for this semester had already been finished, and this month was basically for review. At the end of the month, the official exam week would begin.Annabelle was very frustrated. Was she already going to fail her first sem

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 328 Like Raising a Daughter

    The next day, Annabelle put on a big sweater and went out.Just as she took a couple of steps forward, Kendrick, who was behind her, pulled her back into the house. Then Mr. Gregory put a coat on her, placed a hat on her head, and tied a scarf around her neck. He satisfiedly adjusted the pom-pom on her hat and said, "It's perfect.""Just two steps away, there's no need to wear so much..."Annabelle looked reluctant, she had planned to visit Simon looking beautiful, but now her fluffy hair from the morning breeze would definitely be flattened by the hat."You just healed the scar and forgot the pain; did you forget how uncomfortable you were when you were sick a few days ago?"Kendrick sighed in his heart as he trained her, feeling like he had raised a daughter.I thought she was quite an independent girl, but sometimes she was not as careful as he thought.She is not just an expert in long-term illness, she simply doesn't take long-term illness seriously.Annabelle pouted, knowing he

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 329 Delicious Food

    When Annabelle arrived, it was not yet mealtime, so the two of them followed Simon to the small living room.Housekeeper Kim had already packed up the prepared items and handed them over to Annabelle, saying they were specially prepared for her.It was a small bamboo basket, and the contents inside were clear at a glance - several boxes of blueberries and two boxes of coffee.Simon said to Annabelle, "I heard that blueberries protect eyesight. Luckily, I have a small blueberry orchard in the south. I had someone pick some for you just yesterday afternoon. Although they're not anything special, the blueberries here should taste better than the ones you buy at the supermarket. I have already asked Kim to put the contact information of the orchard staff in the box. After you finish eating, you just need to send a WhatsApp message to them, and someone will continue to deliver them to you."Then I told Annabelle that herbal tea could cleanse the liver and improve eyesight, so I prepared tw

    Annabelle was in a cheerful mood, and her eyes curved into a smile. "Hmm, it reminded me of the taste of my grandma's cooking."Simon was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, saying, "That's quite a high praise for me.""Hey? Is this... made by you?""Not like?"Annabelle only just noticed that Simon was indeed dressed comfortably and casually today. When they had greeted them earlier, his sleeves were slightly rolled up, and he even reminded Kim to be careful with the stove while speaking.I didn't think much about it before, but now I realize that Simon cooked this meal himself.Annabelle's good impression of Simon was steadily increasing. How could one not like such a refined and handsome middle-aged man who not only managed a large corporation but also excelled in culinary skills?At the same time, Mrs. Murphy and Stacy became even more curious, wondering what kind of woman could be so lucky to marry Simon and have such a handsome and talented son.Kendrick glanced

    With that, Simon quickly added, "Regarding the signing fee, the Murphy Group will definitely come up with a price that satisfies Annabelle. Although money is certainly not a determining factor in your eyes, this does represent our sincerity as the Murphy Group."As Annabelle listened to Simon's earnest invitation, she could feel how highly he regarded her. Whether or not she would accept this invitation, she knew she had to take it seriously.Annabelle asked what the requirements were for being a spokesperson and what things she needed to comply with.Simon took out the drafted contract and handed it to Annabelle directly. "The contract includes some requirements, but they are all just procedures and formalities. Everything can be adjusted according to your situation. Take a look first, and if there are any parts you don't understand, I can explain them to you."Annabelle had never dealt with this type of contract before. Although she knew Simon wouldn't include any unfair terms, she

    Upon hearing Annabelle's affirmative response, Simon immediately smiled and said, "Annabelle, if you have any requests, feel free to speak up.""I wanted to start endorsement activities after the exams were over. Because I had fallen behind on some courses, I wanted to catch up as soon as possible."Simon secretly admired, in the face of external disturbances, he remained calm and focused on his studies. Young people should be like this, prioritizing their academics.Although Simon wanted Annabelle to start endorsing immediately, he then chuckled and said, "No problem, the previous spokesperson's contract hasn't expired yet. You can focus on studying and have a good rest during the winter vacation, and then come to endorse later.""Thank you, Mr. Murphy," Annabelle said, glancing cautiously at Kendrick again.Although he appeared calm on the surface, Annabelle could already sense that Kendrick would probably have a serious talk with her later.After all, she made this decision a bit q

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 333 Weak Legs

    Although Annabelle was wealthy and powerful, she took it upon herself to accept endorsements, which indeed affected Kendrick.Therefore, Annabelle took a deep breath and continued, "Actually, I used to have a necklace that was very similar in style to Simon's latest jewelry collection. It was the only thing my grandmother left me, so when I saw those catalogs, it felt very familiar and I really wanted to endorse them next."She patiently explained, seemingly genuinely hoping that he would understand.Kendrick's anger had long dissipated by now, and for him, her earnest explanation was already enough.Anyway, I never intended to stop her from the beginning.Just hearing her mention the necklace, Kendrick's attention shifted to this matter as well."Which necklace, why have I never seen you wear it?""The necklace had long been taken back by my mother," Annabelle frowned as she spoke of it."Wasn't it given to you by grandma?"Annabelle pursed her lips, her mother wanted to claim her th

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1060 Someone’s Coming

    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

    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

    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
