I wish it were you Chapter 408 Becoming the Lucky Charm
How strange—she was clearly just a harmless little rabbit, yet it seemed like everyone was trying to trip her up.But Annabelle couldn’t just leave in a huff, especially now that she held the title of "Mrs. Gregory." She decided to let them look—after all, she was curious to see if the fortune the old Taoist had predicted all those years ago would actually be true.So, with Aunt Emma’s guidance, Annabelle sat down, took the coins she was handed, and tossed them six times.Aunt Emma watched intently, and after the sixth toss, she paused for a moment before saying with a serious expression, "Annabelle, your fate is very unique, quite rare."Annabelle thought to herself, "A 'Heaven's Doom Star' is unique and rare, right?"Just then, Lydia, Marvin's mother, walked into the room from a nearby sitting area, just in time to hear Aunt Emma telling Annabelle's fortune.Lydia was quite into fortune-telling herself, and she wanted to know what kind of fate the girl her son had chosen had. If her

Annabelle was still wondering how to explain their flash marriage. Technically speaking, she was the one who proposed the deal—she’d help Kendrick treat his migraines, and in exchange, they got engaged. But later, when they went to get the marriage certificate and ended up turning fake into real, that wasn’t her scheming. That was all Kendrick’s little tricks. Just as Annabelle was feeling a bit awkward, Kendrick walked in with a smile and said, “I fell in love with Annabelle at first sight. I was the one who proposed.” He had just finished chatting with a few uncles when he overheard the lively discussion on this side of the room. Glancing over, he saw his little bunny sitting inside. He was puzzled about why she hadn’t gone back to their room, but then he heard Aunt Emma talking about Annabelle’s destiny and instantly understood the situation. She had probably been dragged into this by Aunt Emma, who had a particular hobby—fortune-telling. Gregoryessing that his little bun

When Annabelle was placed on the bed, she panicked and immediately warned, “Kendrick, don’t you dare! Your relatives and friends are still waiting for you outside, and I haven’t fully recovered yet!” Kendrick merely chuckled and said nothing. The red sweater was the first to be tossed onto the soft, clean carpet, soon followed by a few more garments keeping it company. As for their little owner, she was completely at his mercy—like fish on a chopping board, left to be devoured by the cunning old fox however he pleased. Though she repeatedly protested against his actions, the old fox remained unfazed. Instead, he teased, “Anna, you might as well be a little louder. That way, anyone who’s had their eyes on you will hear loud and clear that you’re mine and give up already.” Annabelle’s face instantly paled. “Doesn’t your house have good soundproofing?” She had been resisting and whimpering just now, not exactly quietly, and her heart was now pounding anxiously. “It’s not th

Annabelle blinked. She had only glanced at Marvin a little longer, hadn’t she?She then picked up some vinegar-braised fish and placed it on Kendrick's plate. "Here, darling, this is a dish you love."Kendrick raised an eyebrow. Hmm, little bunny is getting bold, teasing him in front of everyone?He leaned a little closer to her and whispered, “Actually, right now, I feel like eating a rabbit.” Then, he lightly scratched her palm, his tone flirtatious.Annabelle’s face immediately flushed red.At that moment, Marvin entered the dining room. Annabelle decided to ignore Kendrick and focus on him.Marvin greeted everyone at the table first. Before that, Lydia had already explained to the guests that Marvin had a high fever last night and had been resting in the morning, so he arrived late, and the guests understood.In the past, if Marvin had shown up after the meal had started, Grandfather Gregory would have scolded him severely. But since Marvin saved Annabelle the night before, Grandf

Kendrick chuckled. “I said it. No takebacks.”“Good.”Annabelle was willing to endure, so she held that fish bone in her throat until the meal was finished, without anyone noticing.After the meal, the guests didn’t rush to leave. Some went to the game room to play cards, some stayed in the living room to chat over tea, and others went to the garden to admire the fish and flowers.None of them needed to be attended to by Kendrick and Annabelle.So, Annabelle quickly walked ahead, while Kendrick leisurely followed behind. The two of them headed back to their little suite.Kendrick had already noticed her red eyes, as if she were about to devour him, and now she was rushing back to the room.He couldn’t help but feel a little excited. He wondered what his little woman was planning to do to him.Once inside, Kendrick sat obediently on the sofa and said, “Now that no one’s around, if Madam wants to hit me, punish me, or take advantage of me, feel free.”Annabelle swallowed hard. “Get me s

That evening, Annabelle fed Coco a can of venison, which served as its New Year’s feast. The venison had been sent by Jaime, top-quality and tasty. Coco enjoyed the meal so much that it made Annabelle hungry just watching.She hadn’t eaten enough for lunch, so she decided to make an early dinner. After feeding the cat, she went to the kitchen, only to find that Kendrick was already cooking.It seemed like he was making soup?Kendrick was usually busy, and it was rare for him to cook. Annabelle couldn’t help but stand at the door, watching him for a while.He was focused and meticulous, carefully preparing the ingredients. Everything was arranged neatly on the counter—freshly prepared ingredients placed in dishes, seasonings in small bowls, and the kitchen counter was spotless, nothing out of place.From the amount of food, it was clear he was preparing a meal for two.Seeing this man, who was making soup for her, Annabelle’s heart warmed. She suddenly felt that the usually serious and

Annabelle was a little surprised and asked Kendrick, “It’s already after eight, where are we going?”As he entered the wardrobe to change, Kendrick explained, “Seamus and Scott invited me. We usually meet up during the holidays, chat, drink a bit.”Speaking of drinking, Kendrick asked, “Madam, may I have one less drink tonight?”The formal “Madam” made Annabelle think of a general from a novel who always asked permission before drinking.Annabelle pressed her lips together. Since it was the holiday, she decided to let him indulge a little. Besides, the poison in his system had long been neutralized, so a couple of drinks wouldn’t hurt.“I’ll allow you to have a couple of drinks,” she said.“Thank you, Madam.”The two of them finished getting ready and were at the Stellar Bar in less than half an hour.Once they entered the lobby, Kendrick handed their coats to the attendants and led Annabelle upstairs.“Are there others here today?”Annabelle had already had her fill of family and fri
Последнее обновление : 2025-03-11I wish it were you Chapter 415 Anna, Happy New Year
Annabelle had already discussed the piece with Seamus before performing. It was a famous French love song, with a lively melody perfect for the New Year. Seamus could sing it, and Annabelle could play it on the instrument. They instantly hit it off.At this moment, Annabelle wore a dress, a graceful outfit that complemented her gentle demeanor. Yet, she played a lively foreign song, blending Eastern and Western styles. Rather than clashing, the fusion gave an impression of artistic talent, as though she could master any instrument and any genre with her long fingers.In the audience, Kendrick's gaze grew deeper.Every time Annabelle performed, it captivated him. She always played with a smile, her gaze pure. When she looked at him, it felt like she wasn’t truly looking at him, but at a world only she could see—a beautiful, pristine world that no one could enter.This made Kendrick, who was always so certain, feel a bit of loss. Annabelle was his, but at the same time, not entirely his

I wish it were you Chapter 1050 Help from an Ex-Boyfriend
Julissa wondered—could it be that Scott didn’t have a membership card and had used Heather’s instead?She temporarily stepped away from the front desk and sat in the lounge area, trying to figure out what to do next.Technically, she could just call Scott and ask him to bring her in.But she didn’t want to do that. She wanted to show up unannounced, catch them off guard, and completely disrupt their rhythm.And besides, if she were stopped outside and had to wait for Scott to come out and fetch her, it would feel like she had already lost to Heather in terms of presence and pride.So, that plan was a no-go.Should she just wait until they came out? But the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she felt.Why should she waste her time waiting around like this while they got to enjoy their date?Just as she was lost in frustration, a male voice called out to her.“Julissa?”Julissa closed her eyes. She didn’t even need to turn around—the voice alone was enough to know who it was.S
I wish it were you Chapter 1049 Too Embarrassing
Julissa quickly grabbed Scott’s hand. “Don’t worry about it.”He curled his lips into a smile and obediently let go, then swept her up into his arms and carried her back to the bed…The next morning, Julissa sat up, rubbing her throbbing temples and aching body—only to find the bed empty.Sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains onto her body. She glanced at the clock on the nightstand. Eleven a.m.Crap! She was late!No, this wasn’t just being late—she’d completely skipped work!“Mr. Nichols?” she called toward the bedroom door. No response. Clearly, the big boss had already gone to the office.She reached for her phone by the pillow—then suddenly remembered she’d used it to record video last night. Scott had gone to take a shower, and she’d been so exhausted she’d fallen asleep without even thinking about it.The phone had to still be on the windowsill.Barefoot, she got out of bed and pulled back the curtain. Sure enough, the phone was still there, screen down and nearly burnin
I wish it were you Chapter 1048 Seduction, Well-Planned
After dinner, they cleaned up the kitchen together. Then Scott went to take a shower, while Julissa headed to the bedroom.She placed her phone on the windowsill, hidden behind the curtain. Only a sheer layer covered it—just enough to keep things from being too explicit. As long as his voice was clearly captured, a blurry image would actually be even better.After all, the last thing she wanted was for every man at his future wedding to see her naked on the big screen.Yes—she was going to record her night with Mr. Nichols.Just like those classic evil ex-girlfriends in dramas, she planned to send the footage straight to his future wife. And better yet—broadcast it at their wedding.Sure, this move was one of those you hurt me, I’ll destroy us both kind of deals.But whatever. She, Julissa, was just a nobody, a little shrimp in the vast sea of high society. Once she left this circle, she could go back to her own little life.Even if she couldn't return to a peaceful life, she would do
I wish it were you Chapter 1047 Definitely Hiding Something
Julissa was startled by his sudden move. She quickly turned around and smiled at Scott. “Maybe my period is coming. I’m just feeling a little low.”He paused for a second, as if just realizing what she meant by “period,” then gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.“You girls get emotional because of that?”Julissa forced a small smile. “Of course. We get moody, feel down for no reason, and crave all kinds of heavy flavors.”Scott raised an eyebrow. “Oh? So what’s Julissa craving today?”Julissa immediately sensed where this was going and shot him a glare. “Definitely not what you’re thinking.”“What am I thinking?” Scott’s gaze lingered on her lips, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.Truth be told, Julissa wasn’t in the mood to flirt, so she backed away slightly. “Mr. Nichols, behave yourself…”He didn’t answer. Instead, he leaned in and kissed her.Julissa wanted to push him away, but her hands were covered in marinade and seasoning from preparing the fish.
I wish it were you Chapter 1046 Marriage Without Freedom
That one sentence struck deep.Instinctively, Julissa glanced at the ring on her left middle finger, thinking of what Scott had said to her.That night, when he gave her the ring, he had told her it wasn’t an engagement ring—just something to wear for now, and that when the time came for a proposal, he would give her something even better.She believed his words.So even though what Mrs. Nichols just said shocked her, and even brought a momentary pang to her chest, she didn’t believe it.“How do you know he won’t marry me?”Honestly, Julissa even wanted to ask, How do you know I’d definitely agree to marry him? A girl’s got her pride too.But now wasn’t the time to nitpick. She just wanted to know where Mrs. Nichols got the confidence to say so definitively that Scott wouldn’t marry her.Mrs. Nichols didn’t seem like the type to lie, and that only made Julissa more determined to find out the truth.“Then I’ll be blunt,” Mrs. Nichols said. “Tomorrow at 7 p.m., he’s going to meet Miss H
I wish it were you Chapter 1045 Facing It Calmly
Walking beside Mrs. Nichols was another senior executive from the Nichols Group, one of the company’s veterans. The two of them were chatting and laughing, clearly in good spirits.Why is Mrs. Nichols still here? Has she been at the company the whole day?But then again, she was the former president’s wife. It was only natural for her to be on familiar terms with the old guard.Julissa quickly lowered her head, pretending she hadn’t seen anything, hoping Mrs. Nichols hadn’t noticed her either.She scrolled aimlessly through her phone, clearly distracted. She knew she should go up and greet her, but kept telling herself there was no point in exchanging a few perfunctory words. Better to stay in ostrich mode.More importantly, she was feeling guilty—her first impression with her future mother-in-law had been far from ideal. Or maybe it was just that Mrs. Nichols had such an overwhelming presence that Julissa dreaded facing her alone.She couldn’t help but wonder again—what kind of man m
I wish it were you Chapter 1044 Mr. Nichols Is Just Too Wicked
Julissa truly felt like she could never win against this man. Talking to him was like navigating a minefield—one careless step, and she’d fall right into his trap.But it was still working hours, after all. Julissa thought his sudden surge of interest was way too unexpected, leaving her flustered and completely unprepared.“Mr. Nichols, what do you take me for?” she asked, breathless.“What do I take you for?”As each button was slowly undone, Julissa felt like her face was about to combust.“I’m not the kind of woman who’d… who’d just let herself get harassed for a bonus!”“Then just pretend you’re harassing me,” Scott said casually.Julissa blinked. That’s allowed?But actually, if she flipped the roles in her mind—if she imagined herself as the one taking advantage of him—somehow, it felt a bit more tolerable.Scott’s hands didn’t stop moving. They were already at her waist. “Besides,” he murmured, “you went back on your word. There’s got to be a price for that.”Julissa was hot an
I wish it were you Chapter 1043 Just Her, No Bonus
Kendrick resumed his earlier position, leaning against the headboard. “The Nichols family still has some unresolved issues—they’re definitely in no place to plan a wedding right now.”“I see…” Annabelle nodded thoughtfully. “But Julissa’s dad also said they had to be together for at least a year before they could get married, just to prevent them from being impulsive.”Kendrick didn’t respond further. He got out of bed and walked around to Annabelle’s side, scooping her up in his arms.“What are you doing now?” Annabelle asked in alarm.Kendrick chuckled helplessly. “Time to wash up, remember? You said your legs were too weak to walk.”…The Next Morning, Times GroupWhen Julissa went to the staff lounge to get water, she overheard her colleagues excitedly chatting about their quarterly bonuses.When they saw her, they couldn't help gossiping. They said that Miss Hickman had been working overtime again and had even completed another project, so her bonus would surely be substantial.J
I wish it were you Chapter 1042 It's Not About Wanting or Not
That morning, after Agatha left the the Whitney Group, she died in a car accident that afternoon.The killer wasn’t Dereon, and it certainly wasn’t Ryan. Since he had promised to let her go, he wasn’t someone who would go back on his word.But Ryan knew exactly who did it—because right after Agatha’s death, he received a phone call.On the other end, the man said coldly, “Little Ryan, this is how you deal with traitors.”Ryan understood—this was a warning. A warning that if he dared to betray them, dared to spare Kendrick again, then whether it was Ryan himself, Anna, or anyone close to him, they’d all end up like Agatha.At this point, it was no longer a matter of wanting to kill Kendrick or not—it was something he had to do.Otherwise, the one who would die… would be him.Ryan downed his drink in one gulp.Dereon continued, “Young Master, I’m grateful you didn’t punish me and only assigned me overseas. But I still don’t think I did anything wrong. And that Sid—how could he possibly
