Annabelle nodded lightly, indicating that she didn't mind.

She never intended to integrate into Kendrick's circle of friends, after all, they were bound to go their separate ways sooner or later. Therefore, she was very relaxed and had no psychological burden, treating it as just going through the motions.

Kendrick pushed open the door and led Annabelle into the dimly lit private room.

When the two entered, Ariana was the first to see Annabelle.

She was standing on the small stage in front, singing. She happened to be singing a high note, which was her specialty. However, her voice suddenly stopped and the accompaniment awkwardly continued when she saw Annabelle and Kendrick holding hands.

The crowd was initially stunned, but then they were also captivated by Annabelle and Kendrick.

Excited cheers and screams immediately followed.

The first one to come over and say hello was Seamus, the youngest of the Morse family.

"No wonder Kendrick kept hiding her from us. With such a beautiful wi

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 45 I Had to Listen to What She Said

    The young master of the Shi family, who was sitting alone in the corner, couldn't help but squint his deep eyes. He exchanged a glance with Seamus, who was Kendrick's best brother. Obviously, they had never seen such a scene before.In this way, the looks towards Annabelle gained an extra layer of amusement.How amazing this girl must have been, making Kendrick disregard the opinions of others. First, he directly married her at his brother's engagement banquet, and now he showers her with such affection.And those women who had coveted Kendrick were instantly struck, suddenly losing all their enthusiasm.Ariana had long since stepped down from the small stage and couldn't help but tease Kendrick, saying, "Ken, I told you not to drink too much, why didn't you listen?"Annabelle glanced at the sweet and well-behaved little girl with a lovely appearance and a melodious voice.Judging by their age, the two of them are probably only a couple of years apart.From her tone of voice and the w

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 46 He Was Drunk

    Annabelle smiled faintly and said, "I didn't love singing."When she entered the room just now, she heard Ariana's singing. It was high-pitched and clear, with a unique tone. Any sound that accompanied her would be completely overshadowed, just like a harmony.Annabelle didn't know her well, so there was no need for her to accompany her.Miss Song smiled and said, "Ariana, aren't you making things difficult for others? Everyone knows how talented you are in singing. Singing with you would only embarrass ourselves!""Where did you guys say that I was so amazing?" Ariana laughed cheerfully, "I just saw that my sister-in-law was bored here, so I wanted to go sing with her."Miss Song, however, laughed and said, "I heard that Ms. Sanchez has been living in the mountains for ten years, so she probably won't be able to sing those familiar songs of yours."Annabelle took another sip of hot water and subtly curled her lips.The rich young lady of the Song family understood the implicit meanin

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 47 That Wild Man!

    "Okay."Kendrick's lips curled into a smile, and he didn't know what was happening to him. The person who hated being controlled the most, he only wished that this little woman would control him more.Annabelle got up and walked towards the piano.Ariana smiled and said, "Ken, I didn't expect you to have this side.""Huh?" Kendrick didn't understand what she meant for a moment."Listen to your wife!" she said sourly.To put it bluntly, it's because of fear of my wife.Ariana thought that Kendrick might be somewhat chauvinistic, so he probably didn't want to hear such words directly.Kendrick watched Annabelle's figure and smiled, saying, "Shouldn't I listen to my wife?"Ariana's face stiffened, she nodded in agreement, picked up her glass and took a big sip, putting an end to the conversation.Kendrick's gaze remained fixed on Annabelle, once again marveling at how much talent she still possessed that he didn't know about.When Kendrick first met her, he thought she was a girl who gre

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 48 A Wall Slam at the Slightest Disagreement

    Deven, with a hint of drunkenness, gazed at Annabelle's profile and lamented, "She's like a goddess descended to earth, but unfortunately, Kendrick got to her first."Kendrick was in a bad mood, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him.Deven chuckled, "Just kidding."But Kendrick knew that what Deven said was actually the voice of another man.The thought of my delicate wife being exposed to the gaze of other men like this.Kendrick was unhappy, very unhappy. He shouldn't have let her perform just now.Finally, Annabelle finished her performance and Kendrick walked over, coolly patting her hair and saying, "You played well."Annabelle, who received praise, was still a little happy, "It's been a while since I played, so my hands are a bit rusty."Kendrick still had a cold face and said, "Let's go home.""Hello, Annabelle nodded happily as she returned home."She had no idea that the man in front of her was already at the boiling point of his emotions and had a belly full of questions.

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 49 Everyone Saw Them Kissing

    The person taking the photo was a journalist. As soon as they saw Kendrick coming out of the private room with a girl in his arms, they immediately started taking pictures. They also captured the subsequent wall slam and kissing moments.The journalist was initially hesitant about exposing Mr. Gregory's scandal, considering that people in the news industry were well aware of Mr. Gregory's personality. Anyone who dared to spread his scandal would be risking their livelihood.But later, the journalist discovered that the girl who was pinned against the wall by Mr. Gregory was none other than Annabelle, the third Miss Sanchez from the Sanchez family, who had previously been engaged to Kendrick. Instantly, he felt that this news could possibly be exposed.He immediately gathered up his courage and released this exclusive news.This kind of high-profile marriage often appeals to the masses who enjoy watching from the sidelines. Within half an hour, photos of Kendrick and Annabelle spread l

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 50 Mr. Gregory, Please Stop Pretending

    At this moment, Kendrick had already served breakfast and there was a plate in front of each person.Annabelle glanced at her breakfast plate and it seemed that there was more than just one fried egg.It was an avocado sandwich, a fried egg, a few blueberries, half an orange, and a glass of soy milk on the side.Although she was a doctor, she should have known how to take care of her health. However, in reality, her meals were very simple and plain, sometimes even perfunctory.Looking at the breakfast on the table, Annabelle suddenly felt hungry.But it couldn't be eaten now.Eating someone's breakfast, they could no longer confidently negotiate.Therefore, Annabelle did not move.Kendrick was also puzzled.He was busy with numerous tasks, handsome and charming as he was. He cancelled the morning video conference and personally cooked breakfast, wearing a white T-shirt that showcased his figure and made people feel at ease. Why was she so indifferent?"Not to one's taste?""No," Annab

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 51 Self-Restraint

    Annabelle was not an insensitive person who didn't know how to measure her words. The sentence she just said hurt Kendrick, and she could feel it too.After a moment of contemplation, she said to Kendrick, "You are different to me, of course, from that dirty old man. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to get engaged and married to you. I just don't want our relationship to become complicated."Received love, then abandoned.Liked and disliked.She had already experienced this feeling deeply and did not want to go through it again.Kendrick pondered over Annabelle's words.She didn't want things to get complicated, that is to say, she felt that their relationship had become something more than ordinary.So, she came early in the morning with two dark circles under her eyes to set boundaries with him."Did you not sleep well last night because I kissed you yesterday?"When Kendrick asked this question, his eyes were fixed on her face, not wanting to miss any subtle expression from her.H

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 52 Anna, You Really Outsmarted Me

    The car window rolled down, and Annabelle caught sight of Marvin's handsome face, full of wildness and arrogance."Anna, get in the car, I'll give you a ride."He spoke very naturally, as if the two of them were very familiar.Since Annabelle already knew his feelings for her, she naturally wouldn't get in his car. Anyway, she could always hail a taxi in ten minutes."No need."After finishing speaking, Annabelle moved the flowerpot towards the back of her car and continued to hail a taxi.Marvin got off the car directly.He came to Annabelle's side, smiled at her stubborn face, and without saying a word, he picked up the flower pot she had placed on the ground and walked straight to the car."Hey, Marvin!"However, Marvin, who was tall and had long legs, had already placed the flowers on the car in just two steps."I didn't need you to give me a ride."As she spoke, she was about to take the flower down, but Marvin stood in front of the car door."Anna, you don't have to hide from me

  • 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?”

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1059 The Bull Needs to Eat First

    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.

    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
