I wish it were you Chapter 758 Call Him Kendrick
Kendrick said to Jaime, “Since that’s the case, let’s handle it officially. Organize the collected evidence and file a lawsuit against Susie for slander. Also, find a lawyer for Ada and sue Susie for invasion of privacy and violation of personal image rights.”“Understood, Boss.” Jaime agreed but didn’t leave immediately.Having worked by the CEO’s side for so long, he could tell that his boss wasn’t done talking.Kendrick leaned back, resting his arm on the sofa behind Annabelle. His fingers idly played with a strand of her hair, gently twirling it.“In private, arrange for Susie to get a job at one of our branch offices in another province. It won’t be anything glamorous, just enough to keep her afloat. Whether she takes it or not is up to her. But as for the entertainment industry… she’s done. That place is messy enough without her adding to the chaos.”Annabelle stiffened slightly at his words.Noticing her unease, Kendrick didn’t shy away, even with Jaime present. He asked direct

That soft “Kendrick” made the big boss go completely weak. It was even more powerful than calling him “husband.”This was the first time she had ever called his name so intimately in private.So, he quickly returned the gesture, giving the little woman a kiss. “You’re welcome, Anna.”They exchanged a smile.Suddenly, Annabelle realized—oh no! Jaime was still here! How embarrassing!“You two continue chatting. I’m leaving,” she said, blushing as she stood up, ready to flee the living room.Kendrick grabbed her hand, stopping her.Jaime, with the knowing smile of a single man, said, “Madam doesn’t have to leave. I’ve finished my report. You two carry on. I’ve had my fill of PDA today, so I’ll be heading out.”Kendrick shot him a glare. Tsk! This guy’s getting cheeky now?Smirking, he picked up an orange and made a throwing motion toward Jaime.The assistant bolted immediately, not giving his boss the chance.Annabelle hadn’t expected Jaime to be this amusing, and she doubled over laughi

The call was made to Tokyo. A landline.After four rings, a voice came from the other end—Scott’s.Kendrick closed his eyes briefly. “So, you are there.”“There was an issue. I told you before.” Scott’s voice was low, carrying a hint of strain.“Are you coming back or not?”Before he could answer, Kendrick continued, “It’s up to you whether you return or not. I’m just calling because Anna mentioned that before Julissa’s accident, she told Anna she was still waiting for you. And it was you who told her to wait.”“She’s waiting for me?”“You can ask her yourself. Since Julissa is Anna’s friend—and also a good girl—I’m calling to remind you: if you haven’t figured things out, don’t toy with her feelings. Know who’s worth cherishing and who isn’t. Make sure your priorities are clear.”There was silence on the other end before Scott chuckled.“Kendrick, do you really think I’m that foolish?”“Heh.”“Or do you see me as that much of a jerk?”“Who knows.” Kendrick deliberately jabbed at him.

The night before, when Julissa was rushed to the hospital, Annabelle had already given her a quick pulse diagnosis.At the time, her pulse showed signs of severe vitality depletion—a harbinger of death. That was why Annabelle had been so terrified.After hours of emergency treatment, Julissa’s condition had finally stabilized, though she remained extremely weak due to blood and energy deficiency.Even though she had survived the night and was out of immediate danger, she still needed careful care. A serious illness, if not properly nursed, could leave lasting complications.Annabelle planned to prepare a medicinal formula to help replenish Julissa’s energy and blood, aiding her recovery.However, some of the necessary ingredients were not available in her current stock, and the rarer ones weren’t commonly sold in regular herbal medicine shops.She decided that once Julissa woke up and her condition was more stable, she would make a trip to the mountains to collect the herbs from Uncle

Seeing the disappointment on Julissa’s face, Annabelle could easily guess—she must have been waiting for news from Scott. It seemed she truly cared about him. But with her low spirits and weak body, Julissa soon drifted back to sleep. Around 8 PM, Liam arrived. Annabelle told him that Julissa had just fallen asleep, and there was no telling when she would wake up. “It’s fine. I’ll just stay with her for a while. If she’s still asleep by nine, I’ll leave.” Annabelle sighed inwardly but didn’t say anything more. When Liam had arrived earlier, he had seemed visibly excited—perhaps because he knew Julissa had regained consciousness. However, he kept his voice low, not wanting to disturb her. Now that he had confirmed Julissa’s condition was stable, he let out a noticeable sigh of relief. He pulled up a chair beside her bed and sat quietly, simply watching over her. Seeing the way he looked at Julissa, Annabelle started to believe Kendrick’s theory. Kendrick had once said that Li
Last Updated : 2025-04-14I wish it were you Chapter 763 The Man Who’s Cold Outside but Warm Inside
After waking up, Julissa found herself thinking—if she had really died, her biggest regret would have been all the words left unsaid.All the unspoken feelings that could never be answered, especially those concerning Scott…Did he know she was in the hospital? He probably did, right?As soon as Anna requested leave for her, the company would have been informed. And if Scott didn’t receive her reports and emails, he would have asked about her.But Anna hadn’t mentioned anything about him. And there were no messages from him on her phone.He was still in Tokyo. Probably busy…A wave of disappointment washed over her.How could he say he liked her, tell her to think carefully before giving him an answer, and then act so indifferent afterward?Could it be that Scott was really such a straight-laced man that he expected her to quietly contemplate for a whole month before deciding whether or not to be with him?“How does he treat you?” Liam suddenly asked.Julissa thought for a moment. “He

From the man’s travel-worn appearance and anxious gaze, Liam instantly deduced that this must be the "Mr. Nichols" Julissa had mentioned.No wonder she was drawn to him—this man was indeed exceptional.For someone as proud and competitive as Liam, it was a rare moment of defeat. An unspoken sense of inadequacy surfaced within him.“Anna, is that you?” A weak voice came from inside the hospital room.Scott’s brows furrowed.Was this really the same lively, chatterbox Julissa? She looked so fragile—she must have suffered quite a bit.He set down his suitcase, which still bore the airline’s baggage tag, and gave Liam a slight nod before striding inside.Approaching the hospital bed, he took in her pale complexion, and his brows furrowed even deeper.He rubbed his palms together to warm them before gently wrapping his hand around hers.“Does it hurt?”As he spoke, he reached out to touch her forehead. He wasn’t a doctor, but as long as she didn’t have a fever, things shouldn’t be too bad.

Julissa’s lips curled into a smile as she nodded eagerly.Though neither of them had mentioned the confession from before, she could feel that something between them had subtly changed.This time, after his business trip, the invisible barrier between them had thinned to the point where it was like a fragile cicada’s wing—so delicate that even a gentle breeze could shatter it.The anticipation of this budding relationship felt completely different from anything she had experienced before.For the first time, she could genuinely feel Scott’s affection for her.Even though he had a sharp tongue, never uttered sweet words, and had never made any promises, she just knew.It was something she had never felt before—not even when she was with Liam.Had her past relationship been a joke? Well, there was no need to question it—it truly had been.Speaking of Liam… why was he still here?Scott had gone to fetch her gifts, so Julissa turned to Liam and said, “You should go home now. My friend is

I wish it were you Chapter 1040 A Matter of Position
No one knew how long had passed before peace finally returned to the bedroom.Sunlight slipped through the curtains, casting soft rays across their bed.A thin blanket was draped over Annabelle, her bare shoulders and arms exposed.She had just woken up, already drained of energy, and now her entire body felt sore and weak—as if all strength had left her.Passion could make one forget their troubles for a moment, but once it faded, all those nagging worries returned, one by one.She lay quietly beneath the faint sunlight, watching the play of light and shadow on the bed, lost in thought.“Still upset about breaking the clay doll yesterday?” Kendrick murmured against her shoulder, planting a soft kiss there.Annabelle gave a slight nod, then shook her head.The doll, with its auspicious meaning, had been shattered—it felt unlucky. But more importantly, the incident made her realize something:She and Kendrick had been together for so long, yet they still didn’t have a child.“Why haven
I wish it were you Chapter 1039 Uncle? Sister?
Annabelle shook her head at the little boy. She could tell he hadn’t done it on purpose, so of course she didn’t blame him.At that moment, the boy’s mother arrived. She scolded her son for misbehaving—how could he run off like that before he’d even learned to stop properly?Then she turned to Annabelle and Kendrick, thanking them and apologizing for the broken item. She asked how much the figurines had cost so she could compensate them.Annabelle didn’t want to fuss over it. “It’s fine,” she said. But the woman insisted—her child had broken someone else’s things and she had to pay for it.The clay dolls weren’t cheap. Kendrick glanced at the mother and son, then casually quoted a price: “One hundred fifty.”The woman immediately transferred the money and even pressed her son’s head down, making him apologize.The boy then said again, “Sorry, uncle… sorry, sister…”The corner of Kendrick’s mouth twitched, and he replied coolly, “It’s okay.”Afterward, Annabelle and Kendrick crossed th
I wish it were you Chapter 1038 Wifey's Shy Face
Annabelle suddenly realized that all those rapidly increasing follower counts on her social media—each number represented a real person. And the red bean cake vendor standing in front of her was clearly one of them. This unexpected kindness from a stranger warmed her heart, though it also made her feel a bit embarrassed. No matter what, she decided to pay for the cakes. But no matter what she said, the vendor firmly refused to take her money. There was a line of customers behind her, so she didn't want to keep holding up the queue. Instead, she quickly scanned the QR code, estimated a fair price, and transferred the money to the vendor before leaving with peace of mind. Yet before she’d walked a few steps, the young vendor chased after her, insistently stuffing two extra portions of red bean cakes into her hands. His face was even redder than before. He wanted to look at her, but didn’t dare, scratching his head as he said shyly, “I said I’d give my goddess a freebie, and I me

Linda paused. Marvin couldn’t help asking, “And then?”She snapped back to the present and continued, as if telling someone else’s story.“Luckily, my brother came back. He was a sophomore in college and had just returned home for summer break. He saw that bastard trying to hurt me, grabbed a kitchen knife, and slashed his neck. Blood sprayed all over my face.“He kept hacking at him until the guy couldn’t move anymore. Then he held me and said, ‘Linda, it’s okay now. He’ll never hurt you again.’“After that, my brother was sentenced to death. I was sixteen.“The day he was executed, my grandfather had a stroke and didn’t survive. After the funeral, my stepmother asked for a divorce, and my dad agreed.“The night before their divorce, my dad opened the gas valve. He and my stepmother died of carbon monoxide poisoning.“I spent a month in the hospital but survived. After that… I was on my own. I didn’t really ‘struggle’ in society—I just drifted. Took life one day at a time.“This job

“No way!” Marvin spat out, his voice tight with disbelief. “Anna just finished a jewelry event last night—there’s no way she could be in North City!”“Maybe she flew over after the event?” the reporter offered weakly, desperation creeping into his tone. “Mr. Gregory, if your brother finds out I tried to dig into this… you’ve got to protect me.”“Enough already. I get it.” Marvin snapped, the edge of impatience slicing through his words.“Alright, alright. No time to chat—gotta push the story out before someone else scoops it.” The reporter hung up in a hurry.But he was already too late.Another outlet had already dropped part of the exclusive interview, cleverly holding back the juiciest bits to keep viewers hooked. Within twenty minutes, the full conversation with Kendrick and Annabelle was everywhere.In a private hospital room in Elfhedge, Marvin stared at the news reports, fury radiating off him like heat from asphalt. His phone met the floor with a sickening crack, screen shatte
I wish it were you Chapter 1035 Because She Has a Slim Waist
Annabelle had long known that the reporters were fixated on this topic and would eventually bring it up again.Even though they were blocked from interviewing her at yesterday’s press conference, here they were today.She was just thankful that she wasn’t facing them alone.As for the real reason behind her and Kendrick’s flash marriage, it was simply because she didn’t want to marry a perverted old man, and Kendrick had agreed to marry her because she claimed she could help treat his headaches.Neither of those reasons could be made public. Otherwise, people would assume Kendrick was just a backup plan, and the fact that she knew medicine would be completely exposed.Kendrick might not mind being teased, but if people found out she had medical skills, things would get very complicated.Just imagining it—every time one of Kendrick’s friends or business associates (especially the ones she didn’t like) met her, they'd stick out their wrist without a word and ask for a diagnosis. That wo
I wish it were you Chapter 1034 A Bit Under-Dressed
After ending the call with Kendrick, Annabelle felt much better.Regardless of how her parents acted, her future was her own. With Kendrick by her side, always considering her needs, she already felt content with her life.Still feeling drowsy, she lay on the bed for a while and ended up falling back asleep. When she finally woke again, it was hunger that roused her.She planned to get up and find something to eat.Looking around, she couldn’t see where her clothes had gone. A white T-shirt, clearly Kendrick’s, was draped over the sofa beside the bed.She got out of bed barefoot and slipped the oversized T-shirt over her head.Kendrick was tall, so the shirt was long enough to cover her hips. Loose and casual.She walked to the dining area and spotted the lunch Kendrick mentioned. She was about to warm it up in the microwave when she suddenly heard commotion outside the door—lots of voices.She vaguely made out someone calling, “Mr. Gregory…”Was he back? She didn’t dare open the door
I wish it were you Chapter 1033 Who Told You to Do It?
Annabelle's personal social media account was gaining followers at an explosive rate—so fast it could give someone high blood pressure.For her, this kind of media exposure was obviously a great thing.You could say that Alice had practically sacrificed herself to boost Annabelle’s popularity.Not only did the incident showcase Anna’s personal capabilities, but it also unintentionally promoted Murphy Jewelry—an unexpected wave of free publicity.Under this trending topic, netizens began checking out the pieces shown at Murphy Jewelry’s latest press conference.Many even tagged her: “Supporting Anna! Already bought it!”Similar comments were flooding in.Out of curiosity, Annabelle checked the e-commerce platform authorized by Murphy Jewelry.To her surprise, 80% of the newly released items from the previous night were already sold out.No wonder that last time, when she was being slammed online, Kendrick didn’t suppress the news but instead flipped the narrative and gained popularity
I wish it were you Chapter 1032 Am I That Scary?
Actually, Kendrick had already grown suspicious when breakfast was delivered.The strange eye contact between the two servers caught his attention, especially the male server who looked somewhat familiar.Previously, when Kendrick was negotiating business with an important partner at a hotel in Elfhedge, Ryan launched a surprise attack. That was also when Anna took a tranquilizer dart for him.During that confrontation, Kendrick vaguely remembered a face just like this—handsome, with thick brows and big eyes. He looked honest and trustworthy, which was exactly the kind of appearance that lowered one’s guard.But Kendrick couldn’t be sure if it was the same person.The call he made to Jaime was to have him investigate the people who had just delivered the food.If it was the same person, then Ryan was making another move against him.As for whether the breakfast was actually poisoned, Kendrick had only suspected it at the time—he wasn’t certain.He also thought, if Ryan really wanted t
