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.

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1695 Still Beautiful

    Do you regret it?Yes, he did.If he hadn’t cared so much about money, he wouldn’t have accepted that gold watch, wouldn’t have made that phone call, wouldn’t have gone poaching, and there wouldn’t have been a story after that.Even if he made a mistake, if he had stopped in time, if that man had come to him again to hunt, and he had confessed everything to Lily and refused to go to the wilderness, he wouldn’t have encountered danger there, and he wouldn’t have lost Lily.Even if he still went to the wilderness, if he hadn’t been driven by jealousy and inferiority, and hadn’t almost forced Lily into a relationship with him, she wouldn’t have gotten pregnant...If Lily hadn’t gotten pregnant, she wouldn’t have had to marry Colten for the sake of the child, and she could have waited for him to come back...And more...Even if she had already married Colten, if he ha

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1694 Sudden Wealth

    Their wedding date was set for the end of the year, and Damien didn’t have much time left to prepare.To quickly become rich, he thought about many different ways, weighing all the options.But the safer options were too slow, and in order to make money fast, he knew he had to take risks.As the saying goes, "Fortune favors the bold, while the timid starve."He kept repeating this to himself in his mind, encouraging himself to take the plunge. Eventually, he decided to take the risk.He contacted a man he had met during his travels.This man was in his forties, a burly guy with a beard, his eyes wide with a menacing glare that made you sweat when he looked at you. He had joined their group midway during their trip to the desert.During their journey, Damien noticed that the man had injured his leg, and the wound seemed to have been carelessly bandaged. It wasn’t properly treated, and the wound had started to fester.

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1693 Countless Sins

    But the true identity of Aron’s biological father remains a mystery.The Gregory family is not a single-line descent; Colten has an older brother, who passed away, and several paternal cousins. Any of them could be Aron’s biological father.Why Damien chose the Gregory family bloodline, perhaps only he himself knows.Colten had no intention of delving further into Damien’s thoughts, nor did he want to continue investigating who Aron’s real father was.Colten’s older brother had passed away many years ago and had been frail and sickly during his lifetime, so it was highly unlikely that Aron was his child.Moreover, his paternal cousins all had families of their own. If an unexpected son suddenly appeared, it would undoubtedly disrupt their families. Aron would likely be impacted as well.Some truths, perhaps, are best left unrevealed, as revealing them might do more harm than good.As long as he knew Aron

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1692 We Could Have Had a Son

    Damien’s words didn’t scare Colten, nor would they ever.If Damien truly wanted to kill him, he might have succeeded long ago. But Damien was never content with letting him die quickly; he enjoyed tormenting his prey like a cat playing with a mouse. He wanted to make him live in fear, to make sure he died in agony, only then would he feel satisfied.Recently, Colten often wondered why Damien had become so psychologically twisted, so cruel and cold. Was it because he had to watch the woman he loved marry another man?If that was the case, then the wronged party should be Colten, not those around him. Why be so cold-hearted toward everyone? He had sacrificed the happiness of his own children, using them as mere tools to expand his power. He beat his wife and was even more brutal to his subordinates.How much pain must a person endure to derive such pleasure from torturing others?As he aged, Colten’s mindset had gradually changed. H

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1691 No Winner

    “Damien was willing to let go?” Kendrick asked.His father shook his head, tapping the ash from his cigarette, and continued, “Of course, he didn’t accept it. He always believed your mother was forced to be with me, thinking she stayed by my side only because she was pregnant with you at that time. Even now, he probably still thinks that.”There was bitterness on his father's face as he spoke.“Actually, I thought the same back then,” his father continued. “I thought your mother accepted me because she knew Damien had already married, and since she was carrying my child, she had no choice but to accept reality and be with me.”“Of course not!” Kendrick quickly interjected.His father was momentarily taken aback, then smiled softly. “You were still young back then, you didn’t understand anything. How can you be so sure?”Kendrick explained to his father that w

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1690 Never Regret

    As Kendrick listened to his father tell the story, he had already guessed what would come next.“You stopped Damien from meeting my mother, didn’t you?”“Yes,” his father answered, his gaze drifting toward the old greenhouse downstairs. His eyes grew distant, as if peering through the long river of time, back to the past.After a pause, his father continued, “At that time, your mother and I were already legally married, but if she had met Damien, I wasn’t sure if she would still want to stay with me. I offered him a sum of money to make sure he would disappear from our lives forever.”“Did he accept?”His father shook his head. “No. He insisted on meeting your mother and hearing her reject him in person before he would give up. But I couldn’t allow that. I decided to temporarily control him, have my men watch him, and tell him everything would be discussed after the wedding...&
