I wish it were you Chapter 710 Another Side of Kendrick
Annabelle and Gauge were in the third group, so they still had to wait.Watching Kendrick step into the center with another girl, Annabelle pursed her lips unhappily, lowered her head, and simply decided not to watch.Gauge glanced at her and sighed. “If you didn’t want him to dance with someone else, you shouldn’t have acted so generous earlier.”Annabelle didn’t respond. She just lowered her head and played with the sand, her mind buzzing—maybe from the strong sea breeze.Just as Malina was about to play the music, Kendrick’s voice rang out.In a calm tone with a hint of apology, he explained to the crowd that he had accidentally cut himself while surfing two days ago, and since the wound hadn’t fully healed, it wouldn’t be suitable for him to engage in intense movement. Fortunately, his partner, Ellie, was skilled in solo dance, so he proposed that instead of dancing, he would play the accompaniment for her performance.Annabelle lifted her head, her eyes shining as she looked over

His gaze was deep, with a hint of satisfaction, as if he had seen through all of her thoughts just now.Annabelle’s face suddenly grew hot, and she quickly lowered her head.That sly fox was definitely laughing at her for being infatuated...The voting results for this round came as no surprise—Kendrick and Ellie were undoubtedly the best performers.While Annabelle had been completely engrossed in Kendrick’s guitar performance, Ellie had won over the audience with her dance.She performed a jazz routine. Though she looked like a sweet and innocent girl, her dance was wild and full of energy, incredibly captivating.So, their victory was well deserved.Annabelle’s eyes were still on Kendrick—not because she was mesmerized by him, but because she had noticed something when he stood up earlier.His expression had been a little stiff.Had he pulled at his wound while playing?After all, playing the guitar meant holding it close to his body, which could have strained the injury on his che

Having lost first place, Ada was reminded of another painful defeat—losing the endorsement deal for Murphy Jewelry.She looked over at Annabelle.Everyone was congratulating Annabelle on winning third place, which meant she could stay on the island for five more days with her husband.Some people even urged Kendrick to make sure he kept his promise.Ada clenched her fists.That woman had stolen all the attention from her.As a famous model, she was now being overshadowed, treated like an insignificant nobody.She was fuming inside, wanting to throw a few mocking words at Annabelle, but with both Willie and Kendrick around, she had no choice but to hold back.All she could do was grit her teeth silently.Honestly, Annabelle also felt like her prize was a bit unnecessary.It was sponsored by Kendrick—five extra days on the island.The money was coming out of his pocket anyway, so wasn’t this just shifting funds within their own household?But the real issue was that she didn’t even want

“I… just… stepped on something…” Annabelle spoke in broken sentences, struggling as she hopped along.“I’m injured myself, so I can’t carry you,” Kendrick said coldly.Annabelle glanced at him.His tone was icy, clearly intentional—he was still upset about Gauge carrying her earlier.But she could tell that, beneath his annoyance, he was more worried about her than anything else.It wasn’t that he didn’t want to carry her—he simply couldn’t because of his own injury.“It’s just a small wound, it’s fine. I don’t need to be carried,” she reassured him.“Oh? But you had no problem letting Mr. Murphy carry you?”Annabelle wanted to bite her own tongue. “I meant… you don’t have to worry…”Kendrick didn’t respond. Instead, he suddenly stopped walking.“Lift your foot. Let me see.”“No need, let’s just hurry back. The rain’s getting heavier.”Annabelle tried to hop forward again, but Kendrick pulled her back under the umbrella.He shoved the umbrella handle into her hand, then bent down and

Annabelle opened her mouth, wanting to ask if he was okay.But she knew—no matter how many times she said, Put me down, I can walk by myself, Kendrick wouldn't let go.Unless he passed out.Forget it. She decided to stay quiet and let him carry her peacefully, not wanting to distract him.But why did this path feel so long?Would they ever get there?Could Kendrick really hold on?Just as a flood of emotions surged in her heart, he spoke first.“How did you even get hurt?”Annabelle replied, “Mm… I wasn’t wearing shoes on the beach and stepped on broken glass.”“Why weren’t you wearing shoes?”“Sand gets inside. It’s uncomfortable…” She glanced at him worriedly. “You should put me down.”“No.”His chest wound ached, but he refused to show weakness in front of her.He didn’t want her to think that Gauge was more reliable than him.To distract himself from the pain, he decided to keep talking.“When you saw someone else trying to dance with me… were you jealous?”Annabelle’s first insti

The two continued walking for a while before Kendrick patiently said,“Someone like Ada—she apologized and admitted her mistake. Besides, you already got back at her when we were filming on the cruise. As long as she doesn’t cause you trouble again, I won’t waste my time paying attention to her.”Annabelle then asked, “What about Willie? I noticed your attitude toward him was quite good. Are you planning to work with him in the future?”Kendrick glanced at her and replied, “No. I was just being polite, considering he’s your best friend’s husband.”So that was it…Annabelle couldn’t help but smile. She found Kendrick both principled and deeply considerate.She had always been the type to hold grudges, knowing that showing weakness only invited more bullying.But Kendrick was different.He punished the cunning and the wicked, yet he also knew when to let things go.Like how he would fiercely deal with those who bullied her—but after that, he never pursued them to the point of no return.

Annabelle kept nagging at him as she hurried into the bedroom.Watching her retreating figure, her back completely soaked, Kendrick felt a dull ache in his heart.This foolish girl… He had carried her on his back so she wouldn’t get drenched in the rain, yet in the end, she was the one who got completely soaked.He hadn’t planned on telling her about his injuries. He figured he could just rest for a couple of days and recover on his own—no need to let her see it and scare her.But now that the secret was out, there was no point in hiding it anymore. He might as well enjoy the care of his little wife.In the bedroom, Annabelle rummaged through her suitcase and pulled out her small medical kit.Whenever she traveled far, she always carried one with her. She had almost left it behind this time, thinking she wouldn’t need it in the Maldives—but thankfully, she packed it in the end.Inside, she had her own specially formulated hemostatic powder, which was highly effective, along with other

Kendrick didn’t respond to her words. Instead, he simply wiped away her tears.Ryan was indeed a ruthless man. He had merely hidden that side of himself from her, showing her only his gentler facade.If she found out that the person she had trusted and admired so much was actually as terrifying as a demon, would her beliefs crumble? Would her trust in others shatter once again?Kendrick didn’t mind if she kept a special place in her heart for “Young Master.” But he couldn’t bear to let her discover a truth that would overturn everything she knew.And now, a new worry had surfaced—if he told her that Young Master was actually Ryan, would she naively try to confront him?The price of making a deal with the devil was something neither of them could afford, Anna…A thousand unspoken thoughts swirled in his mind, but he couldn’t voice any of them. Instead, he turned to gaze out the window.The night was pitch black, obscuring everything from view. Only the sound of the torrential rain and

I wish it were you Chapter 1000 The Ultimate Comfort
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
I wish it were you Chapter 999 The Young Master Wants Some Attention
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
I wish it were you Chapter 992 Just How Great Is He?
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
