I wish it were you의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1221 - 챕터 1230

Annabelle had thought it through—Lydia was, after all, Kendrick’s stepmother, and between them stood Kendrick’s father. If she told Kendrick directly, who knows how he’d punish Lydia in a fit of rage? That would only further strain his relationship with his father. And the grudge between Kendrick and Marvin would deepen too, which was exactly what Annabelle didn’t want.But she also couldn’t just let it go. Lydia had become increasingly shameless, and if Annabelle kept swallowing her anger, she’d only be the one to suffer in the end.So, she decided to bring the matter to the most authoritative person in the family—Grandpa. Let him stand up for her and deliver justice. What’s more, if Grandpa knew, then Kendrick’s father would know too. With the two elders stepping in, they could keep Lydia in check while sparing Kendrick the trouble of choosing between her and his family.Kendrick narrowed his eyes slightly. “It has to do with Lydia, doesn’t it?”“Don’t ask. I don’t plan on telling y

Reluctantly, Seraphina pulled her phone out again under the table and tapped on the new message.It was from Rial—a picture of a table full of delicious food. Underneath it, a message: “Once the meeting’s done, I’ll take you to eat this.”Seraphina was speechless. But she had to admit, Rial was more amusing than she’d expected. She was about to reply when—A large hand suddenly reached over and landed on hers.Seraphina’s heart skipped a beat. She jerked her head up to look at Young Master beside her, and in the span of just two seconds, she’d already imagined an entire scene—him secretly holding her hand under the table in front of everyone.But in the next second, he simply took her phone and slapped it onto the table.Just like a student caught daydreaming in class.Seraphina’s face went up in flames.She glanced around—some colleagues had clearly seen what happened, but they were all seasoned professionals. Even if they had noticed, they acted like they hadn’t.

Seraphina wanted to cry—how could it be the same? Letting the pill melt on her tongue was bitter as sin...Fortunately, after the young master spoke, he left the room. He didn’t turn off the lights, so he probably wasn’t going to bed elsewhere.Whatever the case, Seraphina forced the pill down and continued her act, pretending to stay unconscious. She figured once the young master had gone to sleep, she could sneak back to her own room.But she'd underestimated him.He returned quickly. Through barely opened eyes, she saw him walk in carrying a set of her pajamas.Was he going to change her clothes?Her mind went blank. It wasn’t too late to "wake up" now—but what if he got angry again? And deep inside her heart... there was an unspoken longing to be cared for by him.Clutching that little flicker of selfish hope, Seraphina stayed still, playing dead.The young master approached the bed, first removing her rain-soaked outer shell—a windbreaker. Then, ever so carefully, he draped a bla

Seraphina saw everything clearly—Young Master hadn’t done anything inappropriate. There wasn’t even a single woman by his side. In this crowd, he stood out like a refreshing breeze in a smoky room.She just couldn’t understand why he was even here, mixing with this bunch.These spoiled rich kids who only knew how to party, the sleazy businessmen who chased women as soon as they made a bit of money, and the flashy, gold-digging women with perfume thicker than their morals.The Young Master had always despised indulgence and moral decay. So why was he attending this kind of shallow gathering?But thinking about it now was useless.For the second time that night, Seraphina wished she could turn back time—just a minute would do. If she could, she’d press Sid harder. Ask exactly what the Young Master was busy with. If there were any women with him…“Sorry for disturbing you.” She instinctively took a step back.She recognized about 80% of the people in the room by name, but none of them kn

Young Master wrapped his arm around her, smiling at everyone present. “My Seraphina did great tonight. Not a single loss. Looks like I’ll follow her lead next round.”Seraphina still couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. All she knew was, if she wanted him to drink less, she had to keep guessing right.The game continued.Seraphina made her call first, and the Young Master followed her lead—so did most of the others.The dice cup was lifted.Seraphina lost…The room filled with groans—now everyone had to drink.Seraphina felt annoyed. She’d hoped to help him avoid a drink, but ended up making everyone drink instead. Maybe she just wasn’t cut out for games.The Young Master chuckled and ruffled her hair. “No big deal. Just a drink.”With that, he downed a shot.Seraphina was about to drink hers as a penalty, but he took her glass and said to the others, “Seraphina has a sensitive stomach. I’ll drink for her.”Just as he lifted the glass, George pressed down on his wrist.George gri
