Annabelle's lips glistened with soup, making them appear shiny. Kendrick's eyes deepened a shade.
I wanted to kiss her.
The moment the evil thought arose, Kendrick also thought of a way to administer the medicine.
He held Annabelle and whispered, "If you don't take your medicine obediently, I will have to resort to extreme measures."
Annabelle still kept her eyes tightly closed, with a slight frown on her forehead.
Kendrick took a sip of medicine and kissed her lips.
The first dose of medicine was successfully administered.
Kendrick pulled away from her lips. After that kiss, he felt like he was about to explode.
Looking at the little woman in my arms again, I wondered if it was because she had taken medicine, as a charming blush appeared on her pale face.
Kendrick couldn't help but chuckle. You disobedient little white wolf, you fell asleep and obediently let me kiss you. Usually, even when I hold your hand, you glare a
The one speaking was none other than Kendrick's best man, Seamus.Accompanying Seamus was his wife, Zara Xavier.When they arrived, Anna quickly stood up from Kendrick’s lap and sat beside him, her face slightly flushed from being caught.Kendrick held her hand, gently squeezing it as if to comfort her, then said to Seamus, "It’s us who should learn from you two. You've known each other for over ten years, right? Your kids are already a few years old, and yet you’re still as sweet as when you were dating!"Seamus sighed, "Yeah, we've known each other for twelve years, broke up for a few years, and the time we spent together was short."As he spoke, Seamus helped Zara pull out a chair, and they both sat down.Zara used the opportunity to greet both Kendrick and Anna briefly.Zara was very slim, with an air of cool elegance, but her demeanor was poised and straightforward. She seemed like the kind of person who was candid and unpretentious.Anna had heard from Kendrick that Zara graduat
When Annabelle focused again to take another look, she could no longer see it. She wasn't sure if she had just seen it wrong.It was supposed to be the case that guests without an invitation wouldn’t be allowed in, so Annabelle dismissed her doubts and refocused her thoughts.She turned to the two little angels and asked, "Are you ready?"Her son nodded earnestly.Alison also wanted to nod, but her father walked over.Mr. Nichols took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the cream from his daughter’s mouth, his face full of affection and tenderness.Then, Mr. Nichols straightened up and nodded to Annabelle. His little girl was ready, and they could begin.Annabelle turned around and looked towards him at the end of the red carpet.Kendrick was standing there, dressed in a white suit, so tall and handsome that it left her speechless. She couldn’t find the right words to describe him, no matter how hard she tried.At that moment, Kendrick was also looking at her. His gaze was so deep
It turned out that Briley had planted two poisonous plants in the small garden of Anna's mother. One was called Ghost Nightshade , whose fruit resembled small tomatoes, and the other was a plant commonly known as Drunken Heart Flower, which was highly toxic—its scent alone could cause hallucinations.Years ago, Briley had visited her pregnant sister, Tiffany, and intentionally picked some Ghost Nightshade fruits, mixing them into a bowl of small tomatoes to trick her sister into eating them. Just two of those fruits were enough to kill a child, as their toxicity was immense.How much her mother had consumed, Anna didn’t know. But one thing was certain: after eating the Ghost Nightshade, combined with the long-term exposure to the toxic flower's scent, her mother went into premature labor. The calming effects of both the Ghost Nightshade and Drunken Heart Flower made her mother’s contractions weak, eventually leading to a difficult labor and causing her death.Briley wanted to kill her
Annabelle glanced at her biological father and bit her lip. The whole situation felt a bit too sudden, and calling him "Dad" right now still felt a little awkward.It seemed that her father noticed her hesitation and smiled, saying, "We’ll be a family from now on. Take your time."Kendrick, smiling, patted her on the head and said, "When you’re discharged, would you like to change your name?"Anna froze for a moment, then realized what he meant. She would no longer be surnamed Sanchez but Murphy.Murphy…Wait a minute. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to Kendrick. "Your mother’s surname is also Murphy. Could it be that we're… siblings?""Well, we already have a child, so if we are siblings, it's too late," Kendrick said, casually."That can't be possible!" Anna laughed, shaking her head.Her father chuckled and reassured her, "Don’t worry. Our Murphy family and Kendrick's mother's Murphy family don’t share the same ancestor. You two just focus on living your life, and eve
Briley immediately agreed. Once the baby passed its hundred-day mark, she spent a little money to enroll in a private college. Earning a diploma wasn't difficult for her.As for Gavyn, he listened to everything his mother said. In modern terms, he was a typical mama's boy. Although he was unwilling to marry Briley, since his mother had spoken, he had no choice but to comply. He figured that an engagement wasn’t a marriage, and maybe there would be an opportunity to call it off in the future.Four years passed, and Briley, now 24, graduated from university. By this time, her second daughter, Myla, was also born, naturally conceived during her university years. Though Gavyn didn’t like her, he couldn’t resist her temptation.He made the same mistake again and again with her.That same year, they registered their marriage, officially joining the Sanchez family. Briley had finally realized her dream of becoming a wealthy wife.Meanwhile, in the year when Briley gave birth to her eldest da
But Annabelle still had many questions in her heart.Since Gauge’s mother was her maternal aunt,that meant Uncle Murphy was her uncle-in-law. The fact that he was holding her necklace to explain their relationship indicated that Uncle Murphy had known for a long time that she and Gauge were cousins.Why had Uncle Murphy never mentioned this before?Moreover, her parents were greedy and power-hungry. Why hadn’t they ever tried to get close to someone like Uncle Murphy, who was from a wealthy family? Didn’t her parents know that Uncle Murphy had married Annabelle’s aunt?Was it possible that the two families had some kind of feud, leading them to cut off contact?Annabelle also remembered what Gauge had said before—every year, his father would take him back to a small town by the South Bay seaside and stay there for a few days. And just behind her grandmother’s house, there was a mansion that Uncle Murphy had bought.The last time she and Kendrick went to the South Bay, they ran into Ga
