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

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 914 I Won’t Lose You

    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. “

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 915 Which “Brother” Is This Now?

    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

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 916 Careful, You Might Really Become My Brother

    Anna nodded regretfully after hearing that. "I see..."Vincent glanced at the fish she was carrying and chuckled, "Why did you buy so little? Wait here, I’ll get you a couple more.""Hey, no need, bro—"Before Annabelle could finish, Vincent had already sprinted off in his rubber fishing boots.The next moment, Anna felt someone squeeze her hand."Hm?"She turned to look at Kendrick, thinking he had something to say.With a smile on his lips—but a hint of gritted teeth in his tone—he said, "I’m older than you by a few years, yet you never call me by my name?"Annabelle was momentarily stunned before realizing—this guy was jealous.The key issue was that this wasn’t the first time he had demanded to be called closely. There was even a time when he insisted she call him that—which was so disgustingly cheesy she couldn’t handle it.So she decided to mess with him. "You keep making me call you brother… Be careful, or we might actually become real siblings."Kendrick let out a chuckle. "Re

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 917 Thank You

    Although it felt a little rude to decline, Annabelle still thought it over and said to Vincent,“I might have something going on tonight. Maybe next time, when I get the chance, I’ll visit your place.”She and Vincent were just childhood playmates. When they bumped into each other at the dock earlier, she hadn’t even recognized him right away.To say they had a deep bond—well, not really.Most of those childhood memories had already faded, leaving behind only a few amusing fragments.Plus, Anna wasn’t the type who liked dropping by people’s houses. This time, she’d come to visit her grandma’s, and all she wanted was a peaceful couple of days with Kendrick.And more importantly—Kendrick was already jealous.If the roles were reversed and Kendrick bumped into some childhood little sister and insisted on bringing her home for dinner, Annabelle wouldn’t be thrilled either.So, nope. She wasn’t going over to that "little brother’s" house for dinner.Vincent’s eyes dimmed for a second, but

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 918 Mistaken Identity?

    After returning home, the two of them started cleaning the fish they had bought.Annabelle thought Kendrick wouldn’t be good at such tasks and was ready to teach him. But to her surprise, he was even more skilled than she was. In the end, she became the young master’s assistant.At the same time, she couldn’t help but wonder: Was Kendrick’s experience with daily life too extensive?By all rights, he was a privileged young master—he probably never had to do any chores growing up. Later, as a CEO, he likely had no time even if he wanted to do them. But the way he handled things now made it seem like he had lived this kind of simple life before.A sudden image popped into Annabelle’s mind: Kendrick with another woman, helping her dress warmly, cooking for her…She suddenly realized that Kendrick seemed to know everything about her now, while she still only had a hazy understanding of his past.Her cheeks puffed out slightly as she brooded.Kendrick needed her help scooping water to rinse

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 919 Fated Encounter

    When Kendrick saw the person in the distance, his pupils shrank.Earlier that morning, he and Anna had taken a detour down the mountain and rested halfway. At that time, they’d seen an off-road vehicle, and the man who got out had looked familiar. Kendrick had thought he resembled Gauge, but since he hadn’t seen clearly and figured Gauge wouldn’t show up in a place like this, he didn’t give it much thought.Now it seemed he hadn’t been mistaken—it really was that guy.But the real question was—why was Gauge suddenly here?Had he come chasing after Anna?Anna was also quite surprised to see Gauge and muttered to herself, “Gauge came too?”“You didn’t tell him?” Kendrick asked with a slightly jealous tone.Anna shook her head. “Only Julissa knew I came back to my grandma’s house. I didn’t tell anyone else.”Kendrick nodded and said nothing more.Gauge had obviously spotted them as well and was now making his way through the crowd toward them.Just as he was about to greet them, the ecce

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 920 Her Emotions Easily Affected Him

    Annabelle took a moment to process. “You… saw us?”Last night, she and Kendrick had taken a bath in the courtyard.At the time, she had even joked with Kendrick that most villagers were elderly and went to bed early, so no one would be watching.Who would've thought Gauge had also come to the village yesterday—and happened to be staying somewhere higher up where he could see down?Kendrick had turned off the courtyard light, but the moon was so bright last night, like a giant lightbulb hanging in the sky. Who knew how much Gauge had seen?Annabelle felt utterly mortified. Her whole being was overwhelmed with awkwardness.Gauge’s expression wasn’t exactly natural either. He stiffly explained, “I didn’t watch the whole time!”Annabelle twitched at the corners of her mouth and glared at him.“What do you mean, didn’t watch the whole time?”Gauge cleared his throat and casually said, “At first, I noticed the courtyard light came on, so I glanced over. Then I saw it was you and Kendrick—I

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 921 I’m the One Who Bullies Him

    Annabelle actually wanted to have lunch at Gauge’s place.Her grandmother’s old stove wasn’t very convenient to use, and she was also curious about where Gauge’s house was and what it looked like.After all, this was her hometown. And when Gauge mentioned he also had a home here, it gave Annabelle a sudden sense of closeness—like two people from the same village.They were already quite familiar with each other. Gauge had been her classmate, her driving instructor, and her co-star in a commercial. Now, he was even the vice president of the company she had signed with. And now, to top it off, they were also “hometown folks.”It was like… how to put it? Like adding one more bond on top of many.She wasn’t sure if her “lemony” young master (Kendrick) would be willing to go, so she glanced at him.“How about… we eat at Gauge’s place?”Kendrick looked at her, letting out a silent sigh. All he wanted was a few days of peaceful countryside life with his little wife. Why was it so hard?But w

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1000 The Ultimate Comfort

    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

    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
