2024-12-22 18:04:54Thinking about the person she called "young master," Kendrick's expression darkened, but it quickly disappeared.
He tapped her forehead and said, "You heartless little thing, I braved thick smoke and flames to rush into the mall, almost died inside, and finally rescued you. And you have already forgotten."
The smoke was real, the big fire was not, but it didn't matter anyway, because Mr. Gregory was determined to take credit at that moment.
Annabelle was feeling a bit flustered at the moment because when she mentioned being trapped in the fitting room, she remembered that she was only wearing a set of underwear at that time...
She quietly pulled back the covers and glanced at herself, put on a nightgown, but...
She wore only a nightgown!
It seemed like he guessed her thoughts, Kendrick chuckled softly, "When I took you to the hospital, I made you wear my coat. When we came back, I helped you clean the stains on your body and also changed you

"President... President, are you saying that all people called 'Young Master'?"As an assistant, Jaime had indeed helped Kendrick investigate various matters, but it was the first time he had to investigate all the "young masters" of Elfhedge, and he was completely clueless about it."Yes, find out all the people who are called young master or have names that sound similar to young master. Then investigate if any of them might know Annabelle."Although Jaime didn't know exactly what had happened, Boss's instructions were already very clear. Despite the immense difficulty, the purpose of his existence was to help Boss solve various troubles and difficulties."Yes, President, I will go and check right away."After hanging up the phone, Kendrick took another deep look at the photo taken in the morning.Annabelle nestled trustingly in his arms, not because she trusted him.He treated her as if she were another man.What was her rel

After listening, Kendrick hesitated for a moment and said, "I happen to know a classical guitar master who can come to our house and teach you."Annabelle, however, quickly shook her head and said, "No need, I want to go to school to study."Annabelle had a longing for college, where she could also attend other courses such as literature and history.Kendrick sighed in his heart, it seemed that he couldn't stop it.Actually, it would be great if she could stay and go to school. Kendrick has been worried lately, afraid that she would have nothing to do and feel lonely staying at home, constantly wanting to go out.Just his beautiful little wife, once she went to school, he could imagine how many boys coveted her.They were all around the same age as Annabelle and were also studying art, perhaps even more so than him and her, they might have had more topics to talk about.Thinking about all this, Kendrick felt very uncomfortable.

Annabelle stared wide-eyed in terror, as she was dressed scantily and could clearly feel Kendrick's scorching and rigid body.She immediately pushed his chest with force, but couldn't move him, so she opened her mouth and bit his lip.Kendrick felt a slight tingling at the corner of his lips. Although he wanted to continue, he also understood the principle of stopping while ahead. He then released her body and smiled, saying, "This is a token of gratitude."Annabelle's face turned red, feeling embarrassed and not knowing how to deal with this rascal, she turned around and ran out of the study.Watching her running out with her skirt fluttering, Kendrick couldn't help but laugh. He was on fire, and it took a long time for it to extinguish.After leaving the study, Annabelle's mood remained unsettled for a long time.Her mind was filled with the scenes of being kissed by him, and her whole body was filled with his scent. This disturbed feeling

Annabelle was not angry either, she sat down on the chair next to him and teased him, saying, "Be careful, if you cry wolf too many times, it won't work anymore."Fabian smiled and sat up straight."How have you been lately? Are you still adjusting well to life in the Gregory family?"Did Annabelle get used to the situation of being hugged and kissed by Kendrick in the morning?I don't know if life is adaptable or not, but anyway, Kendrick's rogue behavior seems to have become a norm.Thinking about this, Annabelle sighed."Did he bully you?"Annabelle shook her head, "No."She knew Fabian's personality, and if he found out that Kendrick was always taking advantage of her from time to time, Fabian was likely to go directly to Kendrick to settle the score."By the way, can you help me take a look at this dress? Can it be repaired?" Annabelle took out a little dress and handed it to Fabian, while changing the subject.

Annabelle blinked her eyes and smiled, "So, your fans won't eat me, right?""To be honest," Fabian said earnestly, "if you still need a marriage to protect you by then, I am willing to provide you with this safe haven."Annabelle understood the meaning of this sentence, which was that if she still needed to fake a marriage with someone in the future, she didn't have to look for Kendrick anymore, she could just go directly to Fabian.So she raised her eyebrows and said with a relaxed tone, "Alright, I will come to you then. It seems that I don't have to worry about anything anymore!""If you had told me earlier, you wouldn't have to make this agreement with Kendrick now," Fabian said, lightly tapping her forehead, "making you impulsive."Annabelle stuck out her tongue, she was indeed too eager and got carried away at the engagement banquet.However, even if she had been given the chance to think it over calmly again, she would never have cons

Kendrick, however, took advantage of the opportunity and invaded the city, seizing the land.Annabelle couldn't stand such kisses, pushing Kendrick away with her hand while making a "wuwu" sound involuntarily.This also made him unable to help but think of the situation where she embraced that man.Annabelle bit his lip, and a sudden taste of blood filled her mouth.Kendrick felt a slight pain on his lips, hesitated for a moment, but did not let go.On the contrary, his kiss became more intense.Annabelle was picked up by him and taken directly to the sofa in the living room...Until this moment, Annabelle realized how weak her power had been.Kendrick kissed more passionately, and his body grew hotter and hotter.Annabelle's pores instantly opened up.She had experienced this scene before, although she managed to escape later, that incident of almost being insulted suddenly reappeared like a nightmare.Eve

Kendrick let go of Annabelle, turned around indifferently, and walked towards upstairs.Annabelle watched his departing figure and chuckled self-deprecatingly.This is the fragile affection established between people.When she left home in the morning, she still believed that Kendrick was a reliable man. However, at this moment, she realized that she really couldn't have hope in anyone anymore.However, since that day, the two of them entered into a cold war mode.Kendrick would leave early and return late, even though they lived under the same roof, Annabelle hardly ever saw him.As for Kendrick's head ailment, surprisingly, Annabelle was no longer treating it.Annabelle felt uneasy for two days. Seeing Kendrick being cold towards her, she didn't want to beg him for treatment either.And Kendrick also said that they could get a divorce anytime. Annabelle wanted to wait until the next time she saw him to arrange a time to meet

Annabelle opened the door and saw Kendrick's assistant Jaime standing outside."Assistant Gao, is there something you need?"Jaime respectfully said, "Madam, I came to help Mr. Gregory with his laundry."Annabelle paused for a moment and asked, "Hasn't he come back home yet?"Jaime was a perceptive person and he knew that there was a misunderstanding between the two of them. After listening to Annabelle's words, he understood that both of them wanted to reconcile now. Unfortunately, the president's wife was stubborn, and the president was even more stubborn.As his assistant, he naturally had to mediate more and said, "These days, there are too many things happening in the company, and the CEO is also thinking about going home every day."Annabelle blinked her eyes, is it true?How come even the clothes are now being sent back by the assistant, and she used to call her every day before, but now she doesn't even send a single message.

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.

“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

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

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

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
