Hearing Elio refer to him as "your husband" made Annabelle realize that maybe he no longer had any attachments to her.She looked at the document in her hand. "What is this?""He’ll know when he sees it," Elio said.Annabelle didn’t understand their business dealings, so she didn’t ask any more questions. She thought it was just a message for her to deliver and carefully stored the contract.The two of them walked around the garden. When they were about to leave, Elio handed her a small leather pouch, about the size of his palm.Inside were the keys and access card for the garden."I originally planned for this to be our new home, but since you’re already married, consider it a wedding gift for you."He had always harbored affection for Annabelle and was deeply grateful to her. So he wouldn’t force her but would only wish her happiness. If she ever needed anything, he would always stand by her.But the gift was too grand, too valuable, and Annabelle refused to accept it.Finally, Elio

"What?" Annabelle didn’t understand what he meant.Kendrick gazed at her for a moment, then glanced at the documents on the table and asked, "How did you get the contract?""...He just gave it to me!""He didn’t set any conditions for you?"Annabelle shook her head. There were no conditions, and he even gave her a mansion. However, she could tell Kendrick wasn’t in the best mood, so she decided not to mention the mansion, worried he might overthink things."Is this contract really that valuable?"Seeing she genuinely didn’t understand, Kendrick smiled. "It’s okay, it’s worth about a billion.""..." Annabelle was thinking about how many zeros followed that one.Her math wasn’t great, and she had just woken up, so her mind was a little foggy. Forget the billion for now; she asked Kendrick, "Isn’t this the deal you two had already agreed on? Does it have anything to do with me?"Kendrick, never one to hide the truth from her, answered straightforwardly. "He wants to use the billion-dolla

Some time later.Kendrick straightened up, and Annabelle let out a long breath. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that while he had loosened his tie, she had been stripped bare, like a slippery fish.She shot him a weak glare, and Kendrick chuckled. He even deliberately licked his lips, tying his tie back up before covering her with the blanket. He kissed her cheek and said, "If you're tired, take a nap. When you wake up, we’ll go home together."Annabelle buried half of her face in the blanket, watching him walk out of the room with that wicked smile.After a while, she could hear Kendrick talking with his subordinates outside.She could imagine him, as usual, looking calm and in control, just like how he’d so skillfully handled every little detail of her body earlier. A smile tugged at her lips, and she closed her eyes, feeling both exhausted and satisfied.---A week passed, and the day she had arranged to meet with Young Master arrived.Annabelle hesitated for a moment but d

Annabelle parked her car outside the amusement park and walked to the entrance, where she spotted Julissa enjoying an ice cream."Looks like you're in a bad mood? Be careful, or you'll get a stomach ache," Annabelle teased.Julissa waved her off with a smile. "Don't worry, I’ve been tough since childhood. My body can take it!" She handed Annabelle a cup of hot orange juice. "Here you go."Annabelle opened the cup, and the warm, sweet orange juice went down easily. Looking at Julissa's cheerful face, the tension she had felt earlier melted away.Since they still had some time before meeting Young Master, Annabelle wasn’t in a hurry and decided to take a leisurely stroll around the amusement park with Julissa."Did you manage to sneak out to meet the handsome Young Master without your husband finding out?" Julissa asked mischievously.Annabelle blushed slightly. "Almost got caught."She couldn’t resist teasing Julissa. "You’ve never even met Young Master. How do you know he’s a handsome

Julissa pressed her lips together and put the handkerchief back into her bag. “Forget it, he probably won’t care about the two handkerchiefs. After all, he’s so rich.”Annabelle narrowed her eyes. “Not necessarily. Being rich doesn’t mean you’re not sentimental. Maybe he’s had that handkerchief for years and really likes it.”Julissa frowned at Annabelle. “Is that for real?”“Who knows? But it’s not like you to be this conflicted.” Annabelle observed Julissa.Julissa didn’t respond, continuing to nibble on her ice cream cone.Was she really conflicted? Why did she feel so awkward every time she thought of Scott?The two walked around for a while, and Annabelle glanced at the time. There were still five minutes until eight o’clock.“I need to meet the young master. Will you be okay on your own for a bit?”Julissa held onto Annabelle, not letting go, and pleaded, “Can I come with you? I promise I won’t get too close—just want to see him from a distance.”She had come today purely out of

Annabelle looked up at the towering Ferris wheel behind her, surprised that Young Master wanted to take her up there. Maybe he thought the noise below was too much, and the Ferris wheel would be quieter?She didn’t think much of it and followed him into one of the cabins. As the Ferris wheel started, the cabin gently rose.Annabelle quickly realized that they were the only ones on the ride, which seemed to have been arranged by Young Master. He never liked being in crowded places.When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, it stopped.Separated from the noise below, under the deep blue sky, it felt like there were only the two of them.It should have been a romantic moment, but the longer Annabelle sat with Young Master in the small, enclosed space, the more she felt a sense of pressure.She’d never felt this way before when she was with him.She had no interest in admiring the city lights. Her palms were even sweating.Seeing her nervousness, Young Master let out a bitter smile

"I didn’t mean it like that, I was just asking..." Annabelle’s voice became barely audible by the end.Young Master paused for a moment before sighing deeply."I wasn’t planning on telling you this. But since you asked, I’ll tell you the truth. The anesthesia needle that you took for him, it likely had poison in it. The toxins are still in your body, and physical intimacy will speed up your blood flow, allowing the poison to spread more quickly through your organs."He hadn’t intended to tell her about the poison, afraid it would lead her to suspect something about him. But to prevent her from having any further physical contact with Kendrick, he told her the lie that intimacy would worsen her condition.Now that he had reclaimed the Whitney family’s business, his position was still unstable. With internal and external threats looming, he couldn’t take Annabelle away immediately.He couldn’t afford to be open about their relationship either, as he feared the enemy might use her to for

The bodyguard replied, "They’re just sitting together, looks like they’re chatting."Kendrick sneered.How romantic!Was it that she trusted Ryan too much, or did she never put up any guard against her Young Master from the start? Maybe, as soon as Ryan made his move, she would immediately throw herself into his arms without a second thought."Keep an eye on them. Don’t expose yourselves.""Yes, Mr. Gregory."Kendrick hung up the phone, throwing the glass in his hand onto the stone table. The glass shattered into pieces as it hit the surface, the sound of it breaking felt like a heart shattering.**At the amusement park:**Annabelle said goodbye to Young Master and met up with Julissa again.Julissa was still full of excitement, so Annabelle reluctantly stayed with her for another half hour. After a full round of the park, Annabelle felt much better.The two took some photos, and Julissa posted them on her social media. Encouraged by Julissa, Annabelle—who didn’t usually post much—als

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
I wish it were you Chapter 998 Whoever It Is—Dinner Comes First
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
I wish it were you Chapter 997 Take It Easy
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
I wish it were you Chapter 996 A Fool in Love
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
I wish it were you Chapter 995 Sore Waist—Can I Take a Day Off?
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
I wish it were you Chapter 994 The Taste of Forbidden Fruit
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
I wish it were you Chapter 993 Any Request? Really?
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
