While Kendrick was cutting the watermelon, Annabelle couldn’t take her eyes off him.

How strange—why did everything this man did seem so charming to her? Even slicing a watermelon looked handsome.

It was as if her brain had automatically applied a beauty filter to him.

Annabelle placed a hand over her chest, trying to calm her racing heart. But the more she tried, the faster it beat. The sweet words he had just whispered, every little expression and gesture of his, were now playing back in her mind like a movie…

Kendrick held out the watermelon to her with a grin. “Little fangirl, stop staring. This handsome guy is your husband—100% confirmed.”

Annabelle glared at him with a flushed face. “Narcissist!”

Then she lowered her head, scooping out a bite of watermelon, determined to focus on eating.

Just as she was about to take a bite, she noticed Kendrick had sat down.

The other half of the watermelon was still sitting on the small stone platform by the well.

“Aren’t you going to eat?”

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1649 Serious About It

    Naomi dumbly asked, “How are we supposed to sleep with the light on?”Jax answered by kissing her—an intoxicating, lingering kiss that said everything. That finally made her realize what he meant, and she blinked at him in disbelief. “Didn’t you say, not tonight?”“You're the one who started it,” he replied, his voice low and hoarse, kicking aside the annoying blanket.Naomi instinctively crossed her arms over her chest and blushed. “At least turn off the lights. I’m not used to this…”“No.”His response was immediate. She tried to reach for the switch again, but her wrist was still pinned under his hand. She wasn’t strong enough to fight him, and in the end, she gave in.Midway through, Jax suddenly paused, right when her emotions were peaking. “Open your eyes.”She did—but immediately shut them again, either from embarrassment or simply not wanting to see his face.“Open them,” he ordered again.She bit her lip and obeyed, though she turned her face away, avoiding his gaze.Somethin

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1648 Always Had Good Taste

    After that little head-pat from Jax, for some reason, Naomi suddenly felt shy. She looked out the window and reminded him, “You should keep driving—no long-term parking allowed here.”Jax sat back properly, restarted the car, and continued driving toward his place.Naomi snuck a glance at him. As always, his face was calm and composed—like nothing could shake him. Even after that kiss, aside from the faint sheen on his lips, there wasn’t a trace of fluster.She couldn't help but wonder: is he just emotionally numb, or secretly a slow-burning tease?Despite her internal grumbling, the corners of her lips curled up.If she had to choose someone… this guy beside her might not be a bad option after all.Soon, they arrived outside Jax’s residential complex.He pulled the car up near the main lobby. Unbuckling his seatbelt, he stared ahead in silence for a few seconds, then said, “Drive slow on your way back.”“Mm…”“Alright, I’ll get out here.”Naomi looked at him, opened her mouth to say

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1647 Just Wanted to Bite You

    Kendrick immediately picked up on the perfunctory tone in Jax's voice and asked if he was busy. If it wasn’t a good time for a call, they could talk later.Naturally, Jax replied that he wasn’t busy and could continue the conversation.Even though he was still awkwardly pressed up against Naomi, the situation was far from comfortable.But given how late it was, and considering that Kendrick was still personally following up on the matter, taking the time to inform him that the threat was gone, Jax couldn’t just hang up no matter how dire his own predicament was.So he grit his teeth and stayed on the call.Kendrick explained that the enemy's family had erupted into chaos—Second Brother and Third Brother joined forces and staged a coup against the eldest, forcing him to give up his power.This "Eldest Brother" was the scumbag who had once assaulted Jax’s younger sister and was later crippled by Jax, never able to harm another girl again.That humiliation and defeat had made the man rel

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1646 It’s a Small World

    Jax frowned slightly. “What did you lose?”Naomi told him that during the fire, she had panicked while trying to escape and fell down the stairs, hitting her head. She was unconscious for days. When she woke up, she had forgotten everything before the age of ten—even her own parents. The only thing she remembered was her name: Naomi.In fact, even the detail about injuring her head was something her parents had told her later.As she spoke, she brushed aside her bangs and showed Jax the scar on her forehead left from that fall.Jax gently traced the scar with his finger, imagining the pain she'd endured. A strange emotion stirred in his heart, as if something sharp had clawed across it—foreign and hard to define.The girl in his arms grew self-conscious under his gaze. She brushed her hair back down to cover the scar. “It’s ugly, isn’t it?”“No,” Jax said, withdrawing his hand from her forehead and resting it back on her thigh, resuming the posture he had before.His rational mind kic

  • I wish it were you   Chapter 1645 Looking at Her Without Restraint

    Naomi walked into the walk-in closet, her mind in a daze.Why did even the way Jax woke her up mirror Keith’s so perfectly? How could there be such coincidences in this world?Could two people really be so similar?They looked nothing alike, yet their behaviors and mannerisms bore so many similarities—quiet and reserved, meticulous in action, slightly germaphobic… even their way of speaking and how they addressed her were eerily alike.Could he be him?Was it possible?Her heart thudded violently as she imagined countless possibilities.Maybe Keith had parachuted out before the plane crashed and survived—but she quickly shook her head, dismissing the idea. Commercial airliners didn’t have parachutes.Maybe… he never boarded the flight at all. But then she remembered the charred passport…Could it be that Jax knew Keith and had approached her intentionally to take his place and stay by her side?But how would he know those tiny details—how Keith woke her up, what he called her during t
