I wish it were you Chapter 1220 Awaiting Judgment
“Aren’t you curious why I fell into the sea?” Annabelle asked.Back in the cave on the island, Kendrick hadn’t asked her a single question about it—perhaps because she had been too disoriented at the time. But now that she was mostly recovered and they had talked about so many things, he still hadn’t brought it up. That made her curious.Kendrick wiped his mouth with a napkin, then patted his thigh. “Come sit over here.”Annabelle obediently sat on his lap, resting her hand naturally on his shoulder.Kendrick said, “It’s not exactly a pleasant memory. I figured you wouldn’t want to talk about it, so I didn’t ask. Either way, I already know what happened.”“You do?”There was no surveillance on the yacht, and when she fell into the water, the only one with her was Leo. How could Kendrick know?“Yesterday afternoon, that Leo came to confess.”After Kendrick’s explanation, Annabelle finally understood. Leo had panicked as soon as he heard she’d been found. Realizing the truth would inevi
I wish it were you Chapter 1219 The Most Sinister Intention
The second piece of information Jax uncovered was that a small yacht had once passed by the island and even stopped there.At that time, the sea was still calm, and Anna had yet to send out any distress signals.Coincidentally, just as the wind picked up at sea, Anna sent out her SOS—and at the same time, the yacht departed from the island.Jax hadn’t been able to identify the owner of the yacht, but he believed it belonged to Damien, because footage from a pier surveillance camera showed that among those who disembarked from the yacht, one person bore a strong resemblance to Uncle Wesley, the Knight family’s steward.Kendrick found that if Damien were involved, everything started to make sense.Damien’s son, Aron, had been actively involved in the search and rescue for Anna these past couple of days. All of Aron’s resources came from his father, which meant those helicopters and speedboats were surely backed by Damien.Even though Aron had to withdraw from the search due to illness,
I wish it were you Chapter 1218 Smoother Than Before
Kendrick told her that he had also prayed to the sea birds, dolphins, and even the sea god.Hearing that, Annabelle's hairs stood on end. At the same time, she felt a bit disappointed."So it wasn’t because I’m amazing... it’s because you are. Whatever you pray for, it just comes true..."Kendrick chuckled, "Then you better stay close to me from now on. If you ever dare run off with some other little guy, don’t blame me if my curses come true."They joked for a while. Looking at Kendrick’s face and listening to his deep, magnetic voice, Annabelle couldn’t help but hug him tightly."I really missed you.""Not as much as I missed you."Annabelle laughed. "Are we really going to compete on that too?"Kendrick nuzzled her cheek, "For you, I was ready to never return to shore. What do you think?"It felt like honey melted in her heart—sweet to the extreme, with a faint touch of sourness. Her eyes went misty.She hugged Kendrick even tighter, feeling like this man had filled every inch of h
I wish it were you Chapter 1217 Likes Being Coaxed by Her
Kendrick’s question caught Annabelle off guard.Yeah… if it really had been the Young Master, he would’ve never left her there without saving her.He wouldn’t have just dumped her on a beach and left her to wait for Kendrick.So… the medicine and water she thought she’d been given—were they just hallucinations?Worried she had truly lost her grip after drifting for so long, she quickly asked, “When you found me on the island yesterday, I remember you kissed me. Do you remember the taste in my mouth? Did it taste like medicine?”“It was the day before yesterday.”“…” Oh. She hadn’t realized she’d been out that long.Kendrick lightly brushed her lips with his finger, locking eyes with her. “Why ask me? Just call him and ask if he was the one who left you on the beach and decided not to keep you.”Annabelle instinctively reached toward the pillow for her phone—but sensing how irritated Kendrick was, she withdrew her hand and shook her head.No need to ask. Whether it was the Young Master
I wish it were you Chapter 1216 If There Are Gods
By now, Annabelle had already come to terms with the fact that she might never make it back to shore. She believed she was destined to drift endlessly across the sea…But judging from how she’d managed to survive the past three days, it seemed death wasn’t coming for her anytime soon. When she was hungry, there were fish to eat. When she was tired, there were “beds” to rest on. If she was lucky, she could even hear dolphins chattering happily. It wasn’t exactly a dull existence.Still, nothing could soothe the ache of her growing longing for Kendrick. Just thinking about how he might not be able to handle losing her left her feeling hollow and in pain.But the moment she saw those two enormous, beautiful tails gliding through the water, everything else faded from her mind. She only wanted to catch up to them.She imagined herself growing fins and scales, swimming faster than she ever had in her life. If Gauge were to race her now, he’d lose without a doubt. She could practically leave
I wish it were you Chapter 1215 The Old Fox and the Lop-Eared Bunny
Annabelle even believed that even if she died, Kendrick would still find her body in the end.But she didn't want to appear before him swollen and decayed, scaring him into psychological trauma—so that every time he closed his eyes at night, all he could think of was her face, gnawed and ruined by fish.She thought of Kendrick’s expression the first time he saw her without her veil.Love at first sight? More like the old fox was drawn to her face and lusting after her body the moment he saw her clearly.But Annabelle didn’t blame him.Who doesn’t love beauty?Two strangers meeting for the first time, exchanging three sentences before practically sprinting to the marriage registry—if it wasn’t because the other party had a face that pleased the eye, then it would’ve been straight-up insanity.To be honest, she also loved his face. Back then, Kendrick was definitely the most handsome man she’d ever seen—just a tiny bit more handsome than her young master.Actually, before meeting Kendri
I wish it were you Chapter 1214 He Hasn't Held Her Enough Yet
As the sky slowly lightened, the dim little cave gradually brightened as well.Kendrick opened his eyes.The fire had long burned out. From outside came the crisp and ethereal cries of seabirds, and the ferry's deep, prolonged whistle echoed faintly across the sea. Though it was still raining, the wind had died down.He looked down at the small woman in his arms—she was still sound asleep, her breathing steady and soft.Kendrick let out a long breath and tightened his arms around her just a little more.Honestly, last night’s sleep had been the most restful he'd had in the past four or five days—even in this cold, damp cave.Thinking again of the cave’s poor conditions, his gaze drifted to the words written in blood on the wall.Blair, Henry McClinton... How desperate were the two of you to escape worldly constraints, to come to such a godforsaken place for a secret meeting?And in what kind of despair, with what kind of heart, did you choose to die together?Hopefully, this Blair was
I wish it were you Chapter 1213 An Indescribable Object
Kendrick gently woke up Anna, gave her some water, and opened a can of ready-to-eat food. He also managed to eat a little himself.Though both of them were starving, neither had much of an appetite. After quickly replenishing some energy, Kendrick helped her out of her wet clothes, towel-dried her hair and body, and finally wrapped her in a dry towel, letting her rest in his arms.There wasn't much firewood—soon the fire would die—but a little warmth was better than none. He held her hand, rubbing her palms and arms to keep her warm.As he held her like this, actually feeling her presence, Kendrick finally began to believe she was really here, that this wasn’t a dream. The burden that had weighed so heavily on his heart slowly began to ease.Perhaps it was the warmth of the fire, but Anna gradually came to. Kendrick wasn’t sure how clear her consciousness was, but she opened her eyes slightly and started calling his name—"Kendrick... Kendrick..."Each time she called, he responded gen
I wish it were you Chapter 1212 A Long-Awaited “Hubby”
Annabelle kept her eyes closed.Left with no other choice, Kendrick gently kissed her cold lips, tenderly prying them open.There was a subtle medicinal fragrance in her mouth, light and clean, mingled with the bitterness of seawater.Kendrick kissed her with utmost gentleness—it was the only way he could warm her up.Slowly, she responded.Her tongue moved slightly, and then Kendrick tasted a salty flavor—he knew it was the taste of her tears.He pulled away from her lips and saw tears streaming endlessly from her eyes.A surge of joy and heartache overwhelmed him.“I thought I’d never see you again…” Her voice was even hoarser than his.“Me too.” Kendrick smiled and kissed her eyelids.She looked around with hazy eyes and murmured, “Did Young Master leave?”A sharp pang pierced Kendrick’s heart.This heartless woman… I searched for you for three days and three nights, risked my life to find you, and the first thing out of your mouth is asking about him?Didn’t you already cut ties w
