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

    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

    "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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    Annabelle furrowed her brows, she and Kendrick didn't have anything going on, how did Marvin find out?"I had a good relationship with Kendrick."After finishing speaking, Annabelle turned her head to look outside the window. Regardless of how he knew, she wanted to discuss this topic again.Marvin also noticed that Annabelle didn't want to talk, so he patiently remained quiet, although his mood had already changed from before.Actually, he was just pretending earlier, but of course he had some basis for pretending.He accidentally overheard Trey and Kendrick talking on the phone, asking Kendrick to take the initiative in that aspect.He had doubts at that time, but he was not sure yet.

    Kendrick’s deep, low, and teasing voice rang in Annabelle’s ears.She suddenly lifted her head from the old fox’s arms. “It’s only been two days! How is that ‘a few days’?”“It feels like a few days.”“Didn’t we agree—no more than twice a week?”Annabelle tried to reason with him, but Kendrick wasn’t having it.He lifted her chin and kissed her lips, casually shedding his tailored jacket that was now just in the way.As she saw him begin to undo the buttons of his shirt, clearly ready to go further right there in the gym—Annabelle quickly pushed him away. “I need to shower first. I was stretching just now, and I got all sweaty.”That answer… was basically a silent green light for the old fox.Naturally, he was very understanding. With a smile, he said, “Perfect. I need a shower too.”Before she could react, he had scooped her up into his arms and carried her straight toward the en suite bathroom in their master bedroom.Once there, Kendrick gently set her down and, ever the gentl

    Annabelle turned around and looked at Kendrick, patting her chest.“You move so quietly! You scared me half to death.”Kendrick kissed the back of her neck and looked at her soft profile.“What were you thinking about? So focused.”“Nothing really… I was just thinking about what I should say when the reporters ask questions at the launch event.”He hadn’t expected that to be on her mind. After a moment’s thought, Kendrick said,“If you don’t want to do the interview, I can talk to Uncle Simon. He can skip the reporter Q&A part, or at least have them submit their questions in advance so you know what to expect.”Annabelle turned to face him, wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her face in his chest.Seeing her like this, Kendrick chuckled.“Just that was enough to move you?”Curled up in his arms, her muffled voice came out,“Kendrick, aren’t you spoiling me a bit too much?”Kendrick gently stroked her back.“No way. I’m still not doing nearly enough.”He wasn’t just being h

    Only after seeing the news did Annabelle realize that, in less than a day, she had somehow become the center of attention.It wasn’t like anything serious had happened—it was just a compilation of her training bloopers. From wobbling in high heels and twisting her ankle, to being scolded by her teacher for stiff movements and poor coordination.As lighthearted content, it might’ve just drawn a few laughs. But clearly, someone with bad intentions was trying to stir the pot.The person who uploaded the video mocked her:“This is the new brand ambassador for the the Murphy Group? Are their standards this low now?”The comment section was full of sarcasm too—“I could walk better than that.”“She’s only got the gig because she’s Kendrick’s wife. Just here to cash in.”“Pretty face, but she’s just a vase.”Annabelle was torn between laughing and rolling her eyes. Her only real reaction? Ridiculous.Seriously, did these people not think things through?If her husband was Kendrick, and he di

    Julissa took two deep breaths, trying to cool her overheated brain.Since Scott wasn’t coming home tonight, why not ask Anna out for dinner?It had been a while since the two of them properly hung out, and now Anna was dealing with all that online hate. No matter how well Kendrick handled things, she must still be feeling pretty awful inside.A dinner date, some heart-to-heart chatting—maybe it could lift her spirits a little?So, Julissa sent Annabelle a message, asking if she had time for dinner that evening.…At that moment, Annabelle was still training in the posture studio, completely unaware that she’d gone viral online.She did notice, however, that Ms. Maria was unusually gentle with her today—less criticism, more encouragement.She was a bit confused.Since when did Ms. Maria turn soft?Maybe it’s because the showcase is coming up and she doesn’t want to stress me out too much?She didn’t overthink it. Whatever the reason, she stuck to her training routine, completely tuned

    Julissa quickly finished reading the news.Once she understood the full context, she was furious. Fuming, she pounded the bed in frustration and immediately tried calling Anna.No answer.Was she in training?Five minutes later, she tried again. Still no response.A trace of worry began to creep in.Even though she believed Anna wouldn’t be too bothered by public opinion, cyberbullying was no joke. Online attacks were one thing—but sometimes they spilled into real life, and that’s what scared her the most.The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.She wanted to reach out to Kendrick to check on Anna, but… she didn’t have his contact information.With no other choice, she called Scott instead.She knew his schedule—at this time, he was likely in the middle of a meeting with a major client.But she couldn’t care less. Making sure Anna was okay came first.Thankfully, Scott answered quickly.On the other end of the line, his magnetic voice came through: “Hello?”“Mr. Nicho

    That night, that man had also been drinking.The faint smell of alcohol on his lips—so similar to what she’d just felt from Scott—not unpleasant at all.That man seemed to have the same broad shoulders… the same firm waist and toned abs… and the same fiery passion.And back then, she… had been surprisingly forward.Julissa quickly forced herself to stop thinking.How could she be thinking about another man while lying in Scott’s arms?That’s basically emotional cheating!She shook the thoughts away, refusing to let her mind wander anymore.Once everything was over, Julissa was completely drained. Curled up in Scott’s arms, she quickly drifted into a deep sleep.But even in her dreams that night—she saw him again.The man from that night.And this time… she seemed to recall more of the details.Almost like her memory had come back.But no matter how vivid the dream was, she still never saw his face.Perhaps deep down, she didn’t want to remember the face of a stranger.The next morning

    The last few words he said—were barely even spoken. Just a whisper of breath against her ear.Julissa’s ears turned instantly red. Even for someone as cheerful and unrestrained as her, she couldn’t help but cover her face in embarrassment, completely speechless.Scott pressed a kiss to her warm ear, his voice teasing, “Are you full?”“…”Julissa looked at him in disbelief. Wasn’t he just… before dinner?!And now, again?She was finally realizing—once an abstinent man breaks the seal… he becomes dangerously insatiable.“I’m full. But I need time to digest!” she said with firm resolve.Scott pursed his lips. “How long do you need?”“At least two hours.”He frowned slightly, clearly thinking that was too long, but didn’t argue. He simply nodded. “Alright. I’ll wait.”“You really are that… desperate, Mr. Nichols?”He said evenly, “You’ve read those novels, haven’t you? Once you’ve had a taste…”Julissa groaned and buried her face in her hands.At this point, she couldn’t even have a norma

    Scott raised an eyebrow. “So, being liked by Miss Hickman is the greatest blessing of my life, huh?”“Of course. I have very high standards,” Julissa said with a cheeky smile.He laughed—genuinely amused. In front of him, she was the only girl bold enough to be this confident… borderline shameless, even. But somehow, it suited her.After a moment, Julissa brought up something that had been lingering in her mind.She confessed her thoughts about what Scott’s mother had said earlier. That “let’s talk properly another day” didn’t sound like a sign of acceptance—if anything, it felt like a polite rejection. She couldn’t help but wonder… Was it because of how messy she looked today?But no, it didn’t seem that simple.Scott took a sip of red wine and replied calmly,“No matter what my mom meant, it won’t change anything between us. So stop worrying about it.”His tone was serious, even a little stern. Julissa could sense that he wasn’t pleased.He seemed… angry at his mom.As the saying go

    Scott wrapped his arm around Julissa’s waist, pulling her into his embrace.“You’re not marrying my mom, you’re marrying me. Isn’t it enough that I like you?”“Well, yes, but still…”If they were truly going to be a family, then his mother’s attitude did matter quite a bit.“Alright, let’s eat first. Don’t overthink it.”As he spoke, Scott suddenly scooped her up into his arms.Startled, Julissa cried out, “Mr. Nichols, what are you doing?”“I’ve been meaning to say—walking barefoot on marble floors, doesn’t that feel cold?”She hadn’t expected him to notice such little details. A warm feeling rose in her chest, washing away all the awkward emotions from before. She wrapped her arms around his neck with a smile.“You’re actually… kinda sweet for a cold CEO.”“Miss Hickman is just finding that out now?”He carried her over to the dining table, where she obediently sat down and waited for dinner.Scott plated the steak—perfectly seared and paired with fresh vegetables, finished off with
