The call was from Jax.Kendrick swiped to answer."Did you find out?""Yes, Boss. Marvin should already know that Emilia is pregnant. Coming to the island might be her way of telling Madam, hoping to shake the relationship between you two," Jax reported.That was more or less what Kendrick had expected. "Anything else to report?""No, but..."Jax, usually straightforward, suddenly hesitated.Kendrick frowned. "Speak your mind.""Boss, it's not my place to comment on your private life. But if I may be blunt, Emilia and that child’s existence will hurt Madam. You shouldn’t do this."Kendrick raised an eyebrow. "Do what?""Wanting both."Kendrick rubbed his temples, feeling both annoyed and amused.No wonder Jax had been acting strangely toward him lately—he had mistaken him for a man who couldn't make up his mind.Turns out, even Jax didn’t truly understand him.And then there was that little bunny outside the door—without even realizing it, she had turned his private security consultan

Now that Kendrick’s wounds had healed, he was, of course, able to engage in certain activities again.But for some reason—maybe because he had been abstinent for days, or maybe for another reason—Annabelle felt that this time, he was way too aggressive and domineering.It was like a raging storm, almost too much for her to bear.Afterward, he didn’t say much—just pressed a kiss to her cheek before getting up to make a call.She overheard him talking to Jax, saying, “Yes, book an earlier flight for tomorrow…”That night, Annabelle finished packing, preparing to return home first thing in the morning.Yet, an odd atmosphere hung between her and Kendrick.They weren’t exactly giving each other the cold shoulder, nor were they having a fight.Fights always had a reason, and since they hadn’t argued, there was no war between them.Besides, it wasn’t like they weren’t speaking at all. Kendrick had even helped her pack her suitcase. During dinner, when she mentioned a dish was particularly t

Annabelle hesitated.It was rare for her to take the initiative—she had overcome a massive mental barrier to do so. But now, Kendrick was staring at her so fiercely, as if he was about to reject her outright. She didn’t want to embarrass herself like that.Yet, backing down so easily felt insincere.Fine, one more try.If he still acted like this, she swore she wouldn’t bother with him again.Lifting herself slightly, she moved forward until she was practically lying on his chest. Then, she pressed her lips against his.She had been kissed by him so many times before—she had already learned by heart.Just like he did to her, she kissed him carefully, savoring every movement. Finally, she hesitantly licked at his lips, testing if he would let her in.Kendrick didn’t.His lips stayed firmly shut, completely unresponsive.At first, Annabelle had been ready to give up. But his lack of cooperation suddenly ignited something inside her—her desire to conquer him.Now, she understood why in t

The two of them spent the first half of the night at the dock, but when the rain started in the second half, they returned indoors. All in all, it was a restless night.In the morning, Kendrick went to take a shower while Annabelle lay on the bed, resting.She regretted her actions deeply, swearing to herself that she would never tease Kendrick again. The price was too high, and the consequences were unbearable.Although her body was exhausted and she was incredibly sleepy, she forced herself to stay awake since they were supposed to leave the island soon.Just as Kendrick came out of the shower, he received a phone call. Annabelle watched as his expression shifted from gloomy to cheerful.Was something good happening?Wrapped in a white sheet, she sat up and waited for him to finish the call. Then she asked, “Why are you in such a good mood?”“The airport's experiencing heavy rain, and the flights are canceled.”Annabelle flopped back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling.No wonder h
Last Updated : 2025-04-12I wish it were you Chapter 729 Confessing to the Young Master
Kendrick felt a pang of jealousy. In her eyes, Ryan really seemed perfect.She even remembered the tiny mole on his left earlobe, as small as a grain of rice. Her attention to detail was almost too much.Despite his sour mood, Kendrick didn't barge into the room. After all, she hadn’t done anything wrong.He just couldn’t shake the regret — when she needed someone the most, it was Ryan by her side, not him.After dinner, Annabelle was relaxing on the bench outside when her phone suddenly rang. The number was unfamiliar, but it was from China.She picked up the call.A familiar voice came through. “Anna, it’s me.”“Young Master?”Hearing that long-missed voice, a wave of joy washed over her.She glanced at Kendrick, who was working in the living room. Not wanting him to overhear the conversation through the open window, she decided to walk further away.The Young Master explained that the restaurant owner had informed him she couldn’t make it, so he called to check in on her.Without h

Before hanging up, Annabelle suddenly remembered something else. She quickly said, “Oh, right, Young Master! My body has completely recovered now. Thank you for the medicine you gave me!”“Is that so? That’s good to hear…”The Young Master’s voice carried a trace of warmth, and Annabelle didn’t detect anything unusual. She simply thought he was genuinely happy for her.“Anna, I have some matters to attend to. Let’s talk later.”With that, the call ended.Annabelle carefully saved his number in her phone.Having cleared the air with the Young Master, she felt a great sense of relief.For so long, she had held onto the idea that when she grew up, she would follow the Young Master forever, repaying him for saving her life.But now that she had grown up, she had a home of her own and Kendrick by her side. She could no longer follow the Young Master. The best she could do was keep her gratitude in her heart and wait for a future opportunity to repay him.The Young Master’s reaction had bee

Annabelle flashed a mischievous smile. “That’s not necessarily true. If you bully me, I might just walk away anytime. And when I do, I’ll take half of your fortune and ruin your reputation.”With that, she tossed her hair dramatically, pulling the silky strands from Kendrick’s fingers.The soft sensation slipping away left Kendrick feeling an unexpected emptiness, stirring a fierce desire to reclaim the little temptress who danced so playfully on his heartstrings.“So powerful, huh? Then I guess, to prevent you from taking my fortune, I’ll just have to treat you like a treasure.” He leaned in and playfully bit her neck.Annabelle squirmed from the ticklish sensation, her laughter ringing out.It was the first time Kendrick had seen her laugh so freely.It seemed the Young Master had indeed been a heavy weight on her heart.But now that Ryan had verbally claimed to let go, Kendrick knew better — it was nothing more than a tactical retreat.Ryan understood Annabelle’s nature.

Dereon led Seraphina back into Ryan’s office.Seraphina lifted her head to face the man she both deeply loved and deeply feared.Ryan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, backlit by the pale light. Shadows cast across his face, and his dark eyes gleamed with an icy sharpness, as though piercing straight through her.Her heart pounded wildly, and fear crept through her veins.She thought back to the years she had spent by his side. She had witnessed his transformation from a frail young man, enduring humiliation and illness, into the powerful figure that now commanded fear across the empire.She ached for the suffering he had endured and admired the unyielding strength that had brought him to this moment.If today was the day he decided to kill her, Seraphina suddenly thought, perhaps dying by his hand would not be the worst fate.With that thought, her fear dulled.Forcing herself to meet his eyes, she spoke, “Young Master, what do you need?”“Come here.”She took two steps forward.

“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
I wish it were you Chapter 1019 If You Don’t Like It, Throw It Away
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
I wish it were you Chapter 1017 Like a Dream
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
I wish it were you Chapter 1016 Not Playing Along Anymore
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.

I wish it were you Chapter 1014 Kicking Off the Heels
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
I wish it were you Chapter 1013 He Can Pamper Her However He Wants
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
I wish it were you Chapter 1012 A Pitiful Soul
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
