Kendrick smirked, "If it happens this time, then we’ll keep it."
"Who’s going to have a baby for you?"
Annabelle blushed and pushed him away, heading for the bathroom. Kendrick followed her in, shamelessly trying to crowd under the shower with her to fight for the warm water, still asking, "Is it going to happen?"
Annabelle answered firmly, "No!"
She was well aware of her own menstrual cycle, and that's why she had allowed Kendrick to not take any precautions.
Kendrick pursed his lips in disappointment, "Then I'll try harder next time."
"..."
That night, Annabelle was exhausted. After a shower, she quickly fell asleep.
By the light of the moon, Kendrick stared at her peaceful and beautiful face.
He had really wanted to tell her about Emilia earlier, but he wasn't sure how she'd react—whether she'd get angry or upset.
Annabelle had been abandoned by her family before, and she was always cautious a
Gauge told Kamila everything that happened a month ago, everything Anya had said to him in the bar.Honestly, he hadn’t planned to explain it in such detail, especially not now, when he just wanted to be with Kamila. He had spent years in torment, finally making up his mind to come to her. Then, he had that incident with Anya, and after breaking off the engagement with her, he had planned to come to Kamila. But because of a business trip, he had to wait for over a month.Now, finally seeing her, Gauge actually didn’t want to say a word. He just wanted to hold her tight—of course, it wasn’t just holding her...But Kamila insisted on him explaining.If he didn’t tell her everything, she wouldn’t believe him, so he had no choice but to recount it all.As Gauge spoke to Kamila, his thoughts drifted back to the night Anya had proposed breaking up with him.At the time, he had planned to suggest breaking off the
The weather in South City was pleasant—warm during the day, cool at night, with a gentle breeze that brushed against their faces, making it a comfortable evening.Anya seemed to enjoy the moment, her lips curled into a faint smile. Though he couldn’t tell what she was thinking, he knew she was in a good mood.Gauge wanted several times to bring up their relationship but held back each time. They walked in silence, side by side. It was their first time walking together like this.Inside, Gauge felt a rising sense of guilt toward the girl beside him.In the past, whenever he thought of Anya, his mind always went back to the time when she had nearly harmed Anna with her scheming. It happened back when they were still in college. The class had gone on a trip to Sliversand Resort, where they encountered a lecherous boss. When Anna entered a bar, only the boss was there. Anya knew he had bad intentions but didn't warn Anna, only waiting to see her f
Kamila froze, staring at him in surprise.He glanced back at her: “Do you feel like you don’t recognize me anymore?”Kamila opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.It finally dawned on her that the man in front of her was no longer the same young man she had known.He chuckled bitterly: “Don’t say that. I hardly recognize myself either.”“Is it because of work pressure?” she asked.Gauge looked at her deeply and replied, “No.”“Then… what is it?”Before she could finish speaking, Gauge was already standing in front of her.Kamila tilted her head up, gazing at the man in front of her, confused. What had happened? Did it have something to do with Anya?Kamila had heard some gossip about Gauge and Anya’s engagement. She knew Gauge hadn’t been willing, but after everything that had happened, he had no choice but to take

As for the Vice President Li, he had already been fired by Scott.After reuniting with Zara, Seamus was determined not to let her go. He immediately brought her son to live with him. People often say that children are the glue that holds a couple together, and in this case, it was true. Once Seamus won his son’s heart, the rest of the relationship naturally fell into place.After moving to Seamus’s home, the little one was very happy and enjoyed spending time with him.

Ultimately, for her son’s sake, she compromised and stayed with Seamus.They say love grows over time, and given that they already had feelings for each other, this reunion felt like a rekindling of old love. This rekindling
The one speaking was none other than Kendrick's best man, Seamus.Accompanying Seamus was his wife, Zara Xavier.When they arrived, Anna quickly stood up from Kendrick’s lap and sat beside him, her face slightly flushed from being caught.Kendrick held her hand, gently squeezing it as if to comfort her, then said to Seamus, "It’s us who should learn from you two. You've known each other for over ten years, right? Your kids are already a few years old, and yet you’re still as sweet as when you were dating!"Seamus sighed, "Yeah, we've known each other for twelve years, broke up for a few years, and the time we spent together was short."As he spoke, Seamus helped Zara pull out a chair, and they both sat down.Zara used the opportunity to greet both Kendrick and Anna briefly.Zara was very slim, with an air of cool elegance, but her demeanor was poised and straightforward. She seemed like the kind of person who was candid and unpretentious.Anna had heard from Kendrick that Zara graduat
When Annabelle focused again to take another look, she could no longer see it. She wasn't sure if she had just seen it wrong.It was supposed to be the case that guests without an invitation wouldn’t be allowed in, so Annabelle dismissed her doubts and refocused her thoughts.She turned to the two little angels and asked, "Are you ready?"Her son nodded earnestly.Alison also wanted to nod, but her father walked over.Mr. Nichols took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the cream from his daughter’s mouth, his face full of affection and tenderness.Then, Mr. Nichols straightened up and nodded to Annabelle. His little girl was ready, and they could begin.Annabelle turned around and looked towards him at the end of the red carpet.Kendrick was standing there, dressed in a white suit, so tall and handsome that it left her speechless. She couldn’t find the right words to describe him, no matter how hard she tried.At that moment, Kendrick was also looking at her. His gaze was so deep
