I wish it were you Chapter 908 She’s Too Fearless
Anna’s grandfather’s family, the Castillos, had once been a prominent household. However, after certain national reforms, they gradually declined.Even so, her grandfather’s brothers later established their own businesses in the city. Despite her grandfather’s passing, the Castillo family could have easily provided a better place for Anna’s grandmother to live.Yet, her grandmother chose to return to her hometown.Did this mean she no longer wished to be involved with the Castillo family?Perhaps Anna’s grandfather truly had done something that broke her grandmother’s heart.As for the grudges and entanglements of the past, Kendrick had never investigated them. After all, it was a story from two generations ago—likely unrelated to Anna’s later hardships.After some thought, he decided not to pursue the topic further and instead asked, "Did you visit your grandmother’s place often as a child?"Talking about her grandmother’s home made Anna’s mood lighter.She nodded at Kendrick. "I cam

Annabelle recalled how she used to bathe as a child. Walking to the well in the courtyard, she said, a little embarrassed, “Grandma never liked modern appliances. She didn’t have a water heater or anything like that. I used to just bathe here with a basin of water.” Kendrick frowned and walked over to the well. “You mean, when you were little, you just stood here in the courtyard and bathed… completely naked?” Anna nodded and spread her hands. “What else could I do? There wasn’t another option.” Kendrick glanced around. The walls were low, and there were gaps in them. If someone wanted to peek, it wouldn’t be difficult at all. Seeing him looking around suspiciously, Anna reassured him, “No one was watching. Don’t worry.” “How do you know?” “You saw it yourself when we arrived. There are hardly any young people left in this village, only elderly folks. And at this hour, everyone’s asleep. No one’s going to sneak over to peep at Mr. Gregory taking a bath,” she teased. Kendrick,

Kendrick was smoking again.Was it because he was exhausted from the long journey today and needed to relax, or was something on his mind?But he had excellent self-control—he never indulged in smoking excessively. Just an occasional cigarette or two.Through the old window from her childhood, Annabelle watched him standing in the familiar courtyard where she used to cool off on summer nights. She found herself lost in thought.After arriving in South City, Kendrick had changed into a casual summer outfit. He was now wearing a dark-colored polo shirt and a pair of relaxed shorts. With his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, he looked like a walking fashion model.Now, with a cigarette between his fingers, he took a slow drag. Even the way he flicked off the ash looked inexplicably attractive.Hiding inside the room, she secretly watched him—just like when she was a child, secretly admiring a distant, unattainable older boy.And he was a bit unattainable.His expensive casual

Kendrick sighed and obediently took off his clothes.Thus, under the moonlight, the two of them stood completely bare, using this incredibly inconvenient—almost primitive—way of bathing. It was a night they would never forget.Since there was still some hot water left, Annabelle placed the basin on a stool, bent down, and washed her hair. Kendrick helped pour water over her head, rinsing away the soap suds.Once her hair was clean, she changed into her pajamas, rubbing her damp hair with a towel as she teased, “Mr. Gregory has probably never seen a woman wash her hair like this, huh?”Kendrick replied, “If I had seen it before, wouldn’t you feel uneasy?”Annabelle didn’t bother arguing with him. Instead, her gaze swept over him.At that moment, Kendrick was shirtless, wearing only a pair of casual shorts.She glanced at his well-defined chest and abs. “Showing off, huh?”Kendrick chuckled and pinched her waist. “You’re not doing so bad yourself, Anna.”Instinctively, Annabelle touched

Located in the southern region, remained warm even at night, with temperatures still hovering around the high twenties.Annabelle was only wearing a silk nightdress, and as Kendrick held her close, tiny beads of sweat began to form on the tip of her nose.“It’s too hot, Kendrick…”She tried to shift away from him, attempting to put some distance between them.However, Kendrick hooked his fingers around her delicate nightdress strap.“Then take it off.”As he spoke, he gently slid the thin strap down her shoulder. Under the dim, golden light, Anna’s fair, delicate skin gleamed like a piece of exquisite jade.Kendrick pressed a kiss to her shoulder, then trailed kisses up her neck.Annabelle’s breathing became unsteady. “Not here…”They were still sitting in the main hall, and even though she knew no one would come, she couldn’t shake the unease.Kendrick let out a low “Alright” before picking her up and carrying her into the eastern wing.The bed was already draped with sheer white cur

Early the next morning, Annabelle heard the faint rustling of clothes. She opened her eyes and saw that Kendrick was already dressed and about to head out.The sky was bright, but the sun had yet to rise.“Kendrick, where are you going?”Kendrick paused mid-step, then returned to the bedside, lifting the canopy and sitting down beside her.“Just taking a walk. It’s still early. If you’re sleepy, go back to sleep for a while.”Annabelle rubbed her eyes and pulled the thin blanket around her chest. Still drowsy, she sat up groggily. “I want to go with you.”Though she was still sleepy, the excitement of being back in her hometown had energized her. She didn’t want to waste time in bed—she wanted to go out and explore.Kendrick considered for two seconds before smiling. “Alright, but hurry and get dressed. If we go to the pier now, we might be able to buy some fresh fish from the fishermen.”Annabelle quickly got dressed and stepped into the courtyard, where she washed her face with the

Annabelle waved at Kendrick with a playful smile. “Mr. Gregory, you’re way too slow~” Kendrick had his phone in hand and captured the moment she turned back to look at him. Perhaps it was because she had returned to the warmth of her grandmother’s home, but she seemed much livelier and more outgoing than usual. Thinking back to half a year ago, she was always on guard—like a wounded little beast, wide-eyed, quietly observing everything around her. At the slightest disturbance, she would either bristle or flee. But now, she was so cheerful. It was like she had become a completely different person. Kendrick suddenly had a rather self-satisfied thought—wasn’t he, at least in part, responsible for this change in her? By then, the little woman had already run back to him, pointing into the distance. “See that flag? The pier is over there. I used to go there with my grandma to buy fish.” Kendrick followed her gaze. Through the mist, a small red flag was faintly visible. He nodded. “

Back at Springvale Temple, Annabelle had mysteriously fainted in the mountains once as well. But unlike the dense forest of her childhood experience, the temple’s surroundings weren’t heavily wooded, nor was the air particularly thin.At the time, it was Young Master who had saved her, speculating that she might have an allergy to some plant. But that was just a guess.Since Kendrick disliked hearing her mention Young Master, she didn’t bring it up further. Instead, she joked, “Maybe I’m actually a fish—not really suited for life on land like you humans.”Kendrick took her hand, making her stop in front of him. He looked at her face seriously and said, “Let me see, where are Anna’s gills?”“You think I’d let you see them so easily?” Annabelle blinked mysteriously. “I keep them hidden.”Kendrick kissed her cheek before continuing, “Have you ever run into any other dangers?”Annabelle thought for a moment, then shook her head. “Not really.”Most of her memories at her grandmother’s hous

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

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

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

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
