Kendrick knew that Eleanor was a woman of high principles. She was straightforward, and she would never stoop to sabotaging someone else’s marriage. If she really had an interest in him, she wouldn’t have waited until tonight to show it, nor would she have used such a low tactic.

Eleanor met his gaze for a moment before suddenly laughing, letting out a long sigh. “Fine, I’ll be blunt with you. I’m just testing you for Annabelle, or rather, I’m testing you for my brother.”

Kendrick was taken aback by the mention of Annabelle. Eleanor was testing him for her? Annabelle didn’t even know her—why would Eleanor care about her so much?

When she mentioned her brother, Kendrick became even more wary.

“Testing me for loyalty, for your brother?”

Eleanor, naturally straightforward, had already grown tired of pretending to be a delicate woman for her brother’s sake. After seeing Kendrick’s reaction earlier, she felt her brother was overthinking it.

Eleanor went on to explain how her br

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1640 “Pretending It Didn’t Happen?”

    Naomi’s request brought an involuntary smile to Jax’s lips.He turned over and slid one arm under her neck, wrapping the other around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.She curled up quietly against him, like she was cold.Jax gently moved the hand that had been resting outside the blanket back under the covers, his arm still draped around her waist.But after a moment, she shifted her hand outside the blanket again.“If you’re cold, keep the blanket on,” Jax said.She paused, then turned her head slightly. “I’m not cold. I’m just used to sleeping like this.”Then she added with a faint smile, “You’re actually kind of thoughtful.”There was still a trace of alcohol on her breath, but it was faint now—and for some reason, it smelled vaguely sweet, like she’d just snuck a bite of a flower.For a second, Jax forgot what he’d been about to say. All he could feel was his heart thudding against his chest.Naomi had turned back around, her body pressed tightly against his.He took a de

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1639 “I’m Not the One Losing Out. You Better Think This Through.”

    Jax didn’t know why Naomi had gotten up—only that drunk people often lost control of their actions and could easily get hurt. So he stayed still, straining to listen for any sounds outside.After a while, he heard the sliding door of the outer bathroom open—its track made a soft noise. The guest room didn’t have its own bathroom, so she’d likely just gotten up to use the toilet.A few minutes later, Naomi came out.Knowing she was fine, Jax let himself relax and tried to fall back asleep.But just as he closed his eyes, the master bedroom door creaked open. He turned around, surprised to see the girl quietly walking toward him.In the dim room, her figure was only a blur. She approached the bed without a word.He opened his mouth to ask what was wrong, but before he could say anything, she’d already climbed into bed and slipped under the covers. Without any hesitation, she rested her head on his arm.Jax froze.Then he realized—she must be completely out of it from the alcohol. After

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1638 Go Left, Go Right

    Seraphina could feel Jax’s concern—he was worried about her, probably afraid she wouldn’t be able to handle the truth.Everyone hopes their parents are honorable and upright, that they’ve never done anything wrong or hurt others. She had hoped the same.But no one is perfect. In a lifetime, it’s impossible not to make mistakes. So Seraphina could accept that her father had made some in the past.And after she arrived at the orphanage, from the director’s attitude and the way others treated her, she had already started to suspect the truth—that her parents had taken their own lives out of guilt. So she had mentally prepared herself.The only thing she hadn’t expected was fate’s cruel twist—that the child of the ones who had destroyed her parents would turn out to be the man she loved deeply.Seraphina gave Jax a small smile. “I’m okay. Don’t worry.”Jax was just about to say something when Seraphina’s phone rang.He held his words back as she pulled out her phone and answered.A famili

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1637 Destined by Fate

    Jax shared with Seraphina all the findings from his investigation.Despite Seraphina being mentally prepared and suspecting that the reason Ryan had avoided using Bennett as a lead was to conceal some truths—likely the dishonorable cause of her parents' deaths—she never imagined that her parents and the master's parents had actually known each other. The truth exceeded her expectations and left her somewhat stunned.Everything seemed as if it had been predestined…Seraphina’s father came from a banking family, originally starting a pawnshop before later opening a private bank and an auction house. Seraphina's mother was from a scholarly family, a true noblewoman and lady.Before Seraphina was born, her parents had been very close friends with the master's parents. At the time, the master's father wanted to invest in a major business project, and Seraphina’s father acted as the guarantor, taking out a large loan from the bank. The project operated well for a time, until the master's pa

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1636 A Secret Meeting

    Seeing that Naomi was fast asleep, Jax glanced at the time: 12:30 AM.He couldn't stay any longer. He had to leave quickly because there was something else he needed to do tonight.He tucked the blanket around Naomi and said, "I have to step out for a bit. I left a cup of water on the nightstand, drink it if you're thirsty."Naomi murmured in response, barely opening her eyes.Jax left a small hallway light on and quietly exited the room.Tonight, he was meeting Seraphina at the airport, but the trip was already delayed by more than forty minutes. Even once he reached the airport, there was still a bit of walking to do to get to the departure hall, so time was tight.Earlier, when waiting downstairs for Naomi, Jax had planned to finish his cigarette, and if he couldn't reach Seraphina, he would use his connections to search for Naomi’s whereabouts. He’d then take a cab directly to the airport.But he hadn’t finished the cigarette before receiving a call from Naomi, and all the time sp

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1635 We Didn’t Have It Before, But We Will From Now On

    Naomi froze for a moment, her heart tightening. The words felt strangely familiar.In the past, they would always be followed by, "Call me when you get there."She turned to look at Jax, but he was still focused on his work, not even lifting his head. Naturally, he didn’t say the second part of the sentence; after all, he wasn’t Keith...Naomi, however, responded as she always did: "I know, stop nagging!"Jax raised an eyebrow and looked up at her.She smiled at him, grabbed her car keys, and walked out the door.When the door closed behind her, Jax’s gaze returned to the screen of his tablet.He tried to focus on his work, but his mind kept drifting.The words Naomi had said, the "stop nagging" comment, echoed in his ears, bringing back countless memories.When his younger sister was still alive, because she was blind, she couldn’t go anywhere alone without Jax constantly reminding her to be careful.But his sister had always been independent, and since birth, she had been used to th
