"Of course, I’m concerned," Annabelle muttered, feeling uneasy.

Kendrick didn’t look right. Did he find out about her meeting with Young Master?

No matter what, she couldn’t let on that she was guilty.

She added, "By the way, Julissa and I went to the amusement park. I posted a picture of the two of us, and guess what? Several of my classmates want to meet Julissa."

She quickly glanced at Kendrick’s expression to see how he was reacting.

She wanted to show that she had been with Julissa tonight, with proof in the photos.

Kendrick nodded. "I saw the photos."

"Mm! Pretty good pictures, right?"

After saying that, she realized how awkward the conversation was. Feeling guilty, she added, "I’m going to change. Don’t drink anymore."

Just as she was about to turn around, she heard Kendrick speak quietly. "Was the view from the Ferris wheel good?"

"…"

Annabelle froze, closed her eyes, and sighed. It seemed there was no need to cover it up anymore; he already knew.

She turned back around, walke

    Kendrick wasn’t cooperating like he usually did. It seemed like he wanted Annabelle to experience that feeling of desperation—where no matter how hard she tried to comfort him, nothing worked.He pressed his lips tightly together, and Annabelle awkwardly kissed him, trying to mimic how he usually kissed her, attempting to use her tongue to pry open his lips.But it felt too embarrassing, so she only gave his lips a quick lick before turning away, blushing.She had already kissed him, yet he still wasn’t giving in. What else did he want?Frustrated, Annabelle got up, determined to ignore him.But as she tried to walk away, Kendrick stopped her, pulling her back and making her straddle him."Comforting your husband isn’t done like this," Kendrick said softly, his gaze fixed on her lips. "If you don’t comfort me properly, you’re not leaving.""You won’t cooperate," Annabelle said unhappily."Let Annabelle experience what it’s like to be rejected," he continued, his voice pausing with a s

    Kendrick’s expression darkened, his anger quickly rising.How dare Ryan talk to her about something like this!And who was that Ryan to think that just because he said they couldn’t sleep together, they had to listen?Annabelle explained why they couldn’t sleep together, the consequences and all.After hearing it, Kendrick felt a bit of doubt creeping in. If sleeping together would really harm Annabelle’s body, then perhaps some restraint was necessary.But then he turned to Annabelle and said, "We’ll go for a checkup tomorrow. Traditional medicine is powerful, but let’s trust Western medicine this time."The main reason, of course, was that he didn’t trust Ryan.At this point, Annabelle had no choice. She couldn’t argue with him. Since Kendrick didn’t trust Young Master and wouldn’t believe him, going for a Western medical checkup was fine.Of course, she also wanted a full check-up.After all, she had been diagnosing herself, but hadn’t noticed anything unusual with her body. It was

    For some reason, when Julissa said this, her heart suddenly felt empty, as though she had lost something important.Zane, however, was pleased. He smiled and said, "Everything will be done the way you like."Julissa smiled back. "Okay.""By the way, here, this is for you." Zane opened the passenger side door, took an A4 sheet from the glove compartment, and handed it to Julissa."What’s this?" Julissa looked at the form, confused."This is my work schedule. From now on, you can check it to see when I'm free. As long as I'm not working, I can be with you."Julissa took the form, thinking that this person was quite straightforward and interesting. "Alright, then next time, when you're off, let’s go watch a movie.""Sure."Despite it feeling like a routine, and despite the fact that their relationship had almost nothing to do with love, wasn’t love supposed to fade away eventually?She had once poured all her enthusiasm into Liam, but now she was content with going through the motions, w

    Julian looked at his older brother as if he were a dinosaur, smiling. "Aren’t you always so disdainful of me, bro?""Less talk, go get it.""Alright, alright!"Julian went back to his room, and soon returned with one of his photos, signed by him.Scott glanced at the photo, his face dark. "Your handwriting is terrible.""…As long as I’m handsome, it’s fine!" Julian retorted.Scott sneered, clearly mocking him.Julian felt like snatching the photo back, but didn’t dare challenge his older brother.Scott went back to his room, looked at the signed photo, and casually tossed it on his desk before dialing Julissa’s number."Mr. Nichols? It’s late, is there something you need?""Your signed photo, you can come pick it up tomorrow."Julissa paused for a moment, then realized what Scott meant. She felt grateful yet a little embarrassed. "You still remember! Thank you so much."She had almost forgotten about it herself and didn’t want to get too entangled with Scott after the awkward incident

    Suddenly recalling the events of the previous night, Annabelle's face flushed, and she quickly pulled her hand out of his palm. “You eat, I’ll go change.” Watching the little rabbit run away with a red face, Kendrick couldn’t help but smile helplessly. She was still so easily flustered. About ten minutes later, both of them were ready and headed for the hospital. Outside the car window, the cold wind blew, but inside the car, it was warm. Classical guitar music played softly, light and gentle. The man beside her drove quietly, accompanying her to the hospital for her check-up. On her lap was a thermos box with the breakfast Kendrick had prepared for her. She could eat once the check-up was over. When they had just gotten married, she had thought he was arrogant and cunning, but now, she realized he was such a considerate and gentle man. Annabelle couldn’t help but smile. At a traffic light, Kendrick stopped the car and glanced at the small woman beside him. He noticed

    Fortunately, Jax had dark skin, so his blush was not noticeable. He muttered, "I don't have a girlfriend."Annabelle nodded. Jax was no longer a young man, and being by Kendrick’s side meant he probably didn’t have time for dating. His lifelong affairs had likely been delayed. She thought to herself that she needed to mention this to Kendrick—when attending social events, Jax should be given more opportunities to participate.Keeping him hidden away all the time, how could he meet any girls? Although life isn’t all about love and marriage, wouldn’t it be regrettable to grow old without ever experiencing those things?With this in mind, Annabelle asked Jax, "What kind of girl do you like?"Jax cleared his throat. "Madam, is there anything else you need to buy?"Annabelle was about to tell him not to change the subject when she suddenly heard someone calling her name."Anna!"Turning around, she saw a tall girl in a misty blue trench coat walking towards her.Wasn’t this the girl who wa

    Jax reported to Kendrick about his chance encounter with Seraphina at the market and also mentioned that Annabelle had lost her keys, asking if the lock on the gate should be changed.Kendrick was silent for a moment and then said, "Don't change the lock. Just keep an eye on the villa's security. If anyone breaks in, don’t take immediate action. Wait to see what they intend to do.""Yes, boss."Kendrick understood Annabelle well; she wasn’t someone who would be careless with her belongings, so losing her keys seemed unlikely. The fact that she had bumped into Seraphina made Kendrick suspect that the lost keys and Seraphina might be connected, though he wasn’t sure yet about her intentions.That day, Annabelle spent the whole day in her study, preparing a gift for Kendrick. By the time he came home, she was already asleep.For the next two days, they were each busy during the day, and at night they slept separately without anything unusual happening. This made Kendrick wonder, *Could i

    Julissa blinked in confusion, her face full of bewilderment."Job entry? What job?"Linda was also momentarily stunned before she smiled and said, "Miss Hickman, aren’t you the new assistant? Didn’t you attend a banquet with Mr. Nichols last time?"It turned out there had been a misunderstanding.Julissa quickly waved her hand and laughed, "Actually, I—"Before she could finish, Scott spoke up, "Linda, you can step out. I need to have a word with Miss Hickman."Linda put down the form, turned, and left the office, closing the door behind her.Now, only Scott and Julissa were left in the room. Scott stood tall, backlit, with an air of authority surrounding him that made Julissa feel small all of a sudden.The key question was: What does he want to talk about?After the office door was closed, Julissa said, "It seems there’s been a misunderstanding. Everyone really thought I was your assistant."Scott remained composed, nodding slightly. "Well, my assistant Linda is getting married and

    “Stop it, don’t say that!” Annabelle quickly interrupted him.Kendrick chuckled, “Well, you scared me first.”She had no choice but to comfort him instead. “Maybe I’ve just been too anxious lately and overthinking. Don’t be afraid.”Kendrick sighed and gently rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb. “Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”Annabelle nodded. She felt the atmosphere was getting a little heavy. Since they couldn’t change the fact that they had to part, they might as well talk about something lighter.“When you come back, can you buy me two boxes of red bean cakes? From that pastry shop in Bellingham `Alley. One for me and one for Julissa, she loves red bean filling too.”Kendrick smiled and agreed, “Anything else?”Annabelle said, “There’s also a clay figurine shop on Lawrence Street. They make really cute little clay dolls. Can you bring me a pair? I want to put them on the bookshelf.”“Sure. What else?”Annabelle tried to think hard. She had only been to North City once, b

    In truth, Kendrick had overestimated her.Five minutes later, Annabelle was completely defeated. She pushed Kendrick away and glared at him, her face red.Kendrick chuckled. “Still mad? Then how about…”“I’m not mad anymore!” Annabelle quickly interrupted.Smiling, Kendrick helped her get dressed, while he himself hadn’t even undone a single button the whole time.Annabelle sighed once more—she really was no match for the sly old fox. The moment she so much as wagged her tail at him, he had her thoroughly handled.She felt exhausted now and truly just wanted to lie down and rest.Kendrick glanced at the time and said there was still an hour before he had to leave. He told Anna to rest here for a bit—he would stay with her.So Annabelle lay on Kendrick’s lap and drifted off to sleep.Who knows how long had passed when she drowsily felt Kendrick pinch her earlobe. “Anna, I have to go. I’ll have Jax take you home to sleep.”Annabelle’s eyes flew open. “No, I want to see you off.”Kendric

    Annabelle followed Kendrick back to the sofa and nestled into his arms.“Anna, I need to confirm something with you.”“Mm, go ahead.”Annabelle was tired and slowly lay down, resting her head on his thigh.“When you suddenly took off your shoes on stage earlier, was that improvised or did something happen?”Annabelle looked at him and replied that it definitely wasn’t an improvised move. It was her first time on the runway—she wouldn’t dare be reckless. The heels had a problem, so she had no choice but to take them off.Kendrick nodded. “I see. That explains it.”“Explains what?”Seeing how serious he looked, Annabelle grew a bit uneasy—this didn’t seem simple.Kendrick hesitated for two seconds, then showed her the video Jax had given him.It was footage taken backstage while the models were getting ready before going on stage. The cameraman had been arranged by Gauge to capture some behind-the-scenes content for the post-event promo video. Annabelle remembered this and had even gree

    After Julissa left, Annabelle originally wanted to return to the dressing room to remove her makeup. But the room was packed—during the short time she was gone, her previous seat had been taken by another model.They were all touching up their makeup, preparing to showcase jewelry on stage later.Since Annabelle’s part was already done, it wouldn’t be right to fight for space, so she decided to head to the lounge and change her clothes instead. As for her makeup, she could just take it off at home.With that in mind, Annabelle headed into her private lounge.As she opened the door and stepped in, the lights were off. Just as she reached out to turn them on, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and she fell into a strong, warm man’s embrace. The man quickly shut and locked the door behind them.She let out a startled cry, but the man silenced her with a kiss, swallowing her panicked gasp.He kissed her deeply. At first, Annabelle resisted, but soon she stopped struggling.Because the scent

    Annabelle said somewhat regretfully, “My husband is on a business trip. I’ll probably just go home and sleep after this…”Truth be told, she did long for Kendrick’s praise and appreciation. Even if he only took her to grab some street food or shared a simple bowl of noodles at home to celebrate, she’d still feel completely content.But Kendrick was out of town, too busy to even attend the event, let alone celebrate.The interview wrapped up—everything that needed to be asked was asked, and things that shouldn’t be asked, Linda chose not to bring up. She ended it at the right moment.As she was about to leave, a flicker of emotion flashed through Linda’s eyes. She looked at Annabelle and said, “It’s been years since anyone cared whether I lived or died. Thank you, Ms. Sanchez.”Annabelle shook her head and looked into her eyes seriously. “I’ll be waiting for you to come find me.”Linda gave a slight nod.They parted ways—Annabelle headed toward the dressing room, while Linda told the c

    At the check-in area of the press conference, Annabelle was being interviewed.Only one reporter was present today, but microphones and recording devices from multiple media outlets had already been set up on a small podium in advance.Annabelle stood on one side of the podium to make it easier for the microphones to pick up her voice.Before this, Gauge had asked her if she wanted to be interviewed. If she didn’t, he wouldn’t arrange it.Annabelle was a little resistant, but she agreed in the end.First, she was the brand ambassador, and it was her duty to cooperate with the promotion.Second, she had been avoiding the media for a long time, which only made the paparazzi even more eager to get her story. They had been chasing her down and trying everything to interview her.Even more frustrating, when they couldn’t get a real interview, they just made things up.Since that was the case, she figured she might as well accept the interview openly.Gauge understood her personality.

    The stylist handed the shoes to the girl, who quickly walked over to Annabelle.“Thank you,” Annabelle said as she took the shoes.“No worries!” the girl replied before hurrying off—she was about to go on stage.Annabelle bent down to change her shoes.The girl looked back at her, the corners of her mouth lifting in a slight smile, then stepped onto the runway.After putting on the heels, Annabelle stood up and took a few steps to get used to them. The heels were high, but she had worn taller ones before—she wasn't worried about twisting an ankle.Time ticked by. The runway show was nearing its end.Finally, it was her turn.Taking a deep breath, Annabelle stepped onto the runway, wearing designer Malina’s signature piece for the season.Applause filled the venue as she made her entrance.It was her first runway walk. Even though she had rehearsed countless times in her mind—and practiced on-site—it still felt entirely different in the moment.So many eyes were on her. To say she wasn

    Kendrick paused for a couple of seconds—was Briley on the phone with Anna?After all, among the people going on stage today, the only one she could speak to in such an overbearing tone was likely Anna.Briley ended the call, though it sounded more like the other person had hung up on her. She came out of the stairwell with a dark expression.A male staff member happened to walk by, and she grabbed him to ask, "Hey, where's the models' makeup room?"The staff member pointed toward Kendrick and said, "Ma'am, head forward, turn right, go down to the first floor. The first room on your right is the one."Briley followed his gesture and, of course, saw Kendrick standing there.Kendrick gave her a faint nod. It was obvious from her stiff expression that she hadn’t expected to run into him.But she quickly forced a smile and walked over.They weren’t far apart, so she reached him in just a few steps."What a coincidence, Kendrick. Fancy running into you here. Have you been busy lately? How’s

    Dale said that six months ago, she suddenly received an email from a stranger.The email contained dirt on her—scandals from before and shortly after she entered the entertainment industry. That person used it to threaten her into doing their bidding.Almost every piece of negative news about Annabelle on the internet in the past six months had been spread by Dale.But she had only ever communicated with the person via phone calls—never met them in person. What’s more, it was a one-way communication: the person always called her, using a hidden number and a voice changer. Dale didn’t even know if the person was male or female.What she could confirm, however, was that the person knew everything about Annabelle’s life—including her past—and had even provided a large number of photos, both recent and from her childhood, for Dale to use in edited images.Dale hadn’t kept doing it just because the person held something over her. That person had also painted her a beautiful lie—saying that
