I wish it were you Chapter 469 You Make Me Hungry
Julissa ate the fish contentedly, looking like a mischievous cat.Once a person is full, their body warms up, and when the body warms up, the heart feels less cold. Life feels a bit more joyful.This was always Julissa’s logic.Scott, who wasn’t that hungry to begin with, found his appetite stimulated by her."Do you like fish?""Mm, I love both seafood and freshwater fish."Scott squeezed lemon juice onto her fried fish and sprinkled some pepper on his own, saying, "I know a small seafood restaurant in Elfhedge. I'll take you there next time.""Next time?" Julissa chewed on a piece of fish and, with the word "next time" still lingering in her mind, she turned to Scott. "Mr. Nichols, why are you being so nice to me?"It was normal for him to care for her as she was Annabelle’s friend, but now, his care seemed to exceed the normal boundaries.Scott fell silent for a moment before meeting her gaze. "Maybe it’s because you make me hungry."Julissa paused, then laughed loudly. "I love tha

Scott’s face immediately darkened. "My younger brother?""Mm-hmm, your third brother from the Nichols family, Julian!"As she spoke, Julissa took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and showed Scott a picture of Julian.In the photo, Julian looked handsome in a deep blue denim shirt, his hair neatly styled, with sharp features and a bright, sunny smile that exuded warmth and vitality.Scott pursed his lips. "He’s just a bit more handsome, not as perfect as you all think. When he’s home, he just plays with his phone all day, useless at anything, and even grinds his teeth while sleeping."Julissa was stunned. "Is that true?"Scott smirked. "I’m his older brother. Would I lie?"Julissa silently compared herself, realizing that wasn’t too different from her own habits. She wasn’t exactly a model of discipline either—always playing on her phone and talking in her sleep!She nodded seriously. "Then we’re a perfect match…"Scott gave her a sidelong glance. "He’s also a flirt and quite boring

The way Annabelle looked was both cute and alluring. Kendrick walked over and hugged her.“Let me have a sip.”Annabelle quickly dodged, “No, the milk tea has caffeine. Aren’t you already excited enough?”Kendrick then hugged her from behind and kissed her neck, whispering, “It’s always excited. What should we do? Maybe we should go for another round?”Annabelle was startled and quickly broke free, handing him a bottle of water. “How about another bottle of water?”Kendrick sighed silently and took the bottle. Since he arrived at the hotel, he had been drinking water non-stop to speed up his metabolism. He felt like if he kept drinking this much, he’d risk electrolyte imbalance and water intoxication.Thankfully, the medicine arrived just in time after about ten minutes. Annabelle made him take the western medicine first, then she put on her coat and prepared to use the hotel kitchen to make soup medicine for him.Just as she was about to leave, Annabelle remembered something and remi

Annabelle quietly pulled out the knife and gripped it tightly, just as she thought the man would discover her. But then, his phone rang.The man answered the call, “Big Brother, okay, I’ll go now.”He hung up, turned around, and left the kitchen without approaching Annabelle any further.When the kitchen was silent again, only the faint bubbling sound from the medicine pot remained. Annabelle sighed in relief and put the knife back. Her palms were slick with sweat.She was worried the man might return, so she quickly turned off the heat and poured the medicine into a thermos before heading upstairs.The two men’s behavior was clearly suspicious, and she decided to return to her room first to tell Kendrick what she had seen, so he could notify the hotel staff.She picked up her pace, anxious that if she was too slow, the victim might already be harmed.Just as she exited the elevator, she saw Kendrick.It seemed like he had been waiting for her.“You came out?” Annabelle asked in confu

Kendrick said it was likely someone high up who had just been transferred from the headquarters. After the major reshuffling of the company, Kendrick had managed to secure his position and stabilize his standing within the organization. However, in the process, he had inevitably made a few enemies. As for who exactly, they would only know once Jaime caught the two people who had poisoned him tonight. Until then, it was all speculation.Annabelle, who had been listening intently, couldn’t help but feel a lingering sense of dread. The thought that someone had tried to harm Kendrick—and had come dangerously close to succeeding—was enough to send shivers down her spine. She knew that whoever was behind this wouldn’t stop at just one attempt. If they had failed this time, they would surely try again, and the next time, they might not be so careless. The realization made her heart race, and she felt a cold sweat forming on her palms. She glanced at Kendrick, her expression pale and uneasy.

Kendrick’s voice resonated in her ears, sending a strange sensation through her body, making Annabelle feel weak and unable to push him away.As they swirled together, Annabelle felt her rationality slipping away, leaving behind only sweet, intoxicating feelings.Would there be a baby tonight?Annabelle felt a mix of unease, fear, and a subtle sense of anticipation...The room fell into quiet again.Kendrick leaned against her shoulder, breathing heavily for a moment before chuckling quietly, “Still on cloud nine?”Annabelle opened her eyes and smacked his shoulder lightly.“Want to wash up?”Annabelle shook her head, her voice soft and exhausted, “No, I’m too tired.”Seeing her weariness, Kendrick felt a twinge of guilt. After all, he was the cause of her fatigue.Looking at the clock, it was nearly 2 AM. Seeing that her eyes were nearly closing, he kissed her forehead gently. “Then I’ll carry you.”Annabelle obediently let him carry her to the bathroom, and they showered together be

Kendrick used the remote to open the curtains, allowing the moonlight to bathe her.He propped himself up, looking down at her on the bed.Annabelle was only wearing a cream-colored silk robe, the sash loosely tied around her waist.With a gentle tug, Kendrick loosened the belt, revealing her chest and shoulder as the robe fell slightly.The ruby on her chest reflected a faint light, her long hair slightly curled, soft and spread over the pillow. A few unruly strands lay on her pale shoulder, while she looked like a little girl who had found a treasure. Her eyes sparkled, brighter than the gems themselves.Kendrick’s fingers slid from her chin down to the pendant on her chest. He thought she looked like a little enchantress.“Annabelle, you really are a little demon, aren’t you?”His gaze deepened, and he leaned in to kiss the corner of her lips. Annabelle immediately realized what he was about to do next and quickly stopped him.“If you want to keep your body healthy... you’ll need t

Kendrick narrowed his eyes. “Alright, what kind of gift do you want to give me?”Annabelle smiled mysteriously. “Since it’s a gift, I can’t tell you in advance. But it’ll probably take about a week.”“It’s fine. I’m willing to wait.” Kendrick kissed her forehead.He could sense that the relationship between them had changed.There was no more awkwardness or distance. He cherished this new feeling.Though deep down, he still felt a vague unease, as if there was a time bomb buried under their seemingly peaceful life.When it would explode, he didn’t know.Annabelle also had a little worry on her mind.In a week, the Young Master would want to see her to personally deliver the next round of medicine to help her body recover.She wasn’t sure whether she should tell Kendrick.If she told him, he might not be happy. If she didn’t, it might seem like she was hiding the fact that she was meeting another man.When this thought crossed her mind, she was startled.When did the Young Master becom

Ten minutes later, Annabelle finally finished getting dressed and walked out of the bedroom, then followed the young master out of the suite.This was the young master’s private suite at the hotel. Annabelle wasn’t sure if it was where he stayed regularly. She only knew that the last time she was poisoned in South Lake City, she was brought here by him—so it felt somewhat familiar.They headed slowly toward the elevator.The young master was clearly aware her back was hurting, so he walked at a leisurely pace to match hers.As they walked, he asked casually, “You've been with Kendrick for a while now. Tired of him yet?”Annabelle glanced at him, but he wasn’t looking at her. His expression was calm, unreadable.She lowered her head and replied softly, “...No.”“Has he ever bullied you?”“Bullied... uh, no. He hasn’t.”Annabelle almost answered instinctively—Kendrick had “bullied” her too many times, though not in the way the young master meant. Realizing her slip, she instantly regret

Annabelle called back, and the call was picked up before the first ring even ended."Anna, where are you? Are you okay?" Kendrick's anxious voice came through."I'm fine, don’t worry. I’m at the Young Master's place..."Kendrick was silent for two seconds. "What’s wrong with your voice?"Annabelle didn’t think there was anything wrong with her voice. But since she had just woken up and was still lying down, her tone wasn’t as clear as usual. Kendrick must’ve noticed."I just woke up... still lying down.""Is that so."His voice was hoarse, as if he was trying to suppress some emotions.Annabelle quickly explained, "It’s not what you’re thinking.""I know," he paused, "When can you come back?""I’ll come now—ow..." Annabelle said as she tried to sit up, but pain in her waist forced her to lie back down."What’s wrong?""My back hurts."Kendrick went quiet again. "Can you come back today? I can take you to the hospital.""I can. Meet me at Central Hospital, I’ll ask the Young Master to

Ryan replied, “My plan is underway. You all promised not to interfere with my pace.”“Unless your pace is too slow,” the man said with a pause. “Consider this a warning. If you keep stalling, your Anna might not be so lucky next time.”He hung up.In the blink of an eye, the man had vanished from Ryan’s view.Ryan clenched his fists. Blood from the wound on his arm dripped down to the ground.He hadn’t dared contact Anna publicly, precisely to avoid this kind of situation—afraid she’d become his weakness and be used to threaten him.And now, what he feared most had still happened.Kendrick had to die—whether to reclaim Anna or for his own reasons.But he hated being forced like this.Especially when they used Anna to push him.Glancing at the unconscious Anna in the back seat, Ryan calmed himself, got in the car, and drove away quickly.Annabelle didn’t know how long she’d been asleep.When she opened her eyes, the room around her gradually came into focus.She recognized this place.
I wish it were you Chapter 1067 He Really Cares About Her
Annabelle still wanted to go forward to help, but Seraphina grabbed her arm.“If you go over there, the young master will have to save you too.”Hearing this, Annabelle snapped back to her senses and finally didn’t step forward, only watching anxiously in the young master’s direction.As he passed the gate, the young master grabbed a fire extinguisher and rushed to the car door. He smashed the front passenger window hard twice, shattering the glass.The trapped driver, Barry, immediately crawled out through the window.By then, security guards had also rushed over, each holding a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.The young master quickly walked back toward them.Just when Annabelle thought the danger had passed—Boom!A loud explosion burst from the car!The blast shockwave seemed to hit the young master. He staggered forward from the impact.“Young master!”Both Annabelle and Seraphina cried out at the same time.Annabelle endured the sharp pain in her waist and forced down her d
I wish it were you Chapter 1066 Anna Is Afraid of Him
What was Young Master doing at the Whitney Group?He had said before that he didn’t know much about Ryan. Running into him here today—could it be that Young Master was doing business with the the Whitney Group?Annabelle noticed that Seraphina was standing on Young Master's left side, while on his right was another man in a suit, holding documents and reporting something as they walked. Three more suited men followed closely behind.It seemed clear—this was a business visit.Seraphina inadvertently turned her head and glanced in Annabelle’s direction. She seemed to have spotted her and said something to Young Master.Annabelle saw Young Master turn and look toward her, where she sat in the car.Since he had seen her, Annabelle decided to go say hello.Ever since their phone call in North City, she hadn’t spoken to Young Master. This was a good chance to thank him in person for warning her and Kendrick that their breakfast had been poisoned—if not for that call, the consequences would’
I wish it were you Chapter 1065 Back Pain
Scott held Julissa by the shoulder and gave her a light pat. “You should count yourself lucky it was me you met.”“What do you mean?”“If you’d run into a real scumbag, you’d probably get played in circles without even knowing it.”“Mr. Nichols, why are you saying that all of a sudden…” Julissa pouted. “You’re really good at hitting where it hurts.”Scott paused, rubbing his brow. She had already met a scumbag before.That brat Liam had completely fooled her—planning a wedding with her on one side while sleeping with another woman on the other. Julissa might be easy to deceive, but she had one redeeming quality: once she saw through someone, she left immediately, no second chances, no regrets. Even if she and Liam had been childhood sweethearts for over ten years, it didn’t matter.“Alright, I won’t bring it up again,” he said, kissing her on the forehead. The most urgent matter now was dealing with the Keller family and the massive trouble they posed.—Elsewhere, Annabelle and Kendr

Looking at the wound on her face, Julissa instantly panicked.Would it leave a scar?But then she quickly comforted herself—it’s fine, Anna would definitely help her heal without a trace. After all, Anna had suffered serious injuries before and still fully recovered.Soon, Scott came out carrying a first-aid kit.Seeing how well-stocked it was, Julissa was a bit surprised. “Wow, this thing’s fully loaded. Why do you even have surgical scissors?”Scott glanced at her. “Why do you ask so many questions?”“I’m just curious.”He didn’t answer and started cleaning her wound first to prevent infection.Only then did Julissa start crying out in pain.“Just hold on for a bit.”“But I really hate pain! When I was a kid, I could only get shots after I fell asleep—so I wouldn’t see it coming.”As Scott moved in with a cotton swab to apply medicine, she screamed before he even touched her.He was speechless. “Weren’t you just smiling a moment ago?”“I hadn’t seen my wound yet, so I wasn’t scared.
I wish it were you Chapter 1063 Payback in Double
The wound was about an inch long, right on her cheek, and blood had already started to seep out.Julissa wiped her face, hissing slightly, and when she saw the blood on her fingers, her eyes widened in shock.Annabelle quickly figured it out—when Heather slapped Julissa earlier, she must have twisted her diamond ring around. So when her hand struck Julissa’s face, the ring cut into her cheek.By now, Heather had already climbed to her feet, screaming hysterically at Annabelle, “Even my parents never hit me, and you dare to slap me?!”Julissa let out a cold laugh. “Maybe that’s exactly why you’re so spoiled and uncivilized.”That one jab hit a nerve. Heather lost it. “Say that again! Who are you calling uncivilized? Who?!”Screaming, she lunged at Julissa, aiming to grab her hair.But before she could touch Julissa, her wrist was caught in a firm grip.“If you dare lay another finger on her, you won’t need this hand anymore.”With that, Scott yanked Heather away from Julissa.Heather s
I wish it were you Chapter 1062 Coming Straight to the Door
"So you'd better figure out how to deal with them as soon as possible. If you need my help, just say the word."Scott thought back to the look of rage on Heather’s face that day at the club when she saw Julissa. His mood grew heavier.Heather had an extreme personality, and her father was cunning and ruthless. The father-daughter duo was capable of anything.Regardless, he was genuinely grateful for what Kendrick had said today—and the investigation he’d quietly done on his behalf.“Looks like I need to find Samuel’s weak spot fast. Still, thank you, Kendrick.”Kendrick waved it off. “Actually, I should be thanking you. And this—this is my token of appreciation.”As he spoke, he pulled a contract from the briefcase he carried—this was the file he’d asked Jaime to deliver earlier during lunch.Kendrick’s newly developed property project came with fully furnished apartments, and among the amenities, he had incorporated a smart home system that happened to align perfectly with the Nichol
