I wish it were you のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1351 - チャプター 1360

Back then, when she lost her virginity under the influence of alcohol, it was all thanks to Mr. Nichols. His behavior at the time couldn't be called gentlemanly—it was downright rogue.Otherwise, Scott wouldn’t have kept it from her for so long.Now that everything was in the past, and their relationship had blossomed from it, Julissa certainly didn’t blame him. But it was definitely something she could hold over him for a lifetime—something to tease him about endlessly.Dinner went smoothly. Both Julissa and Scott had a few drinks. By the time they finished, it was already past nine in the evening.Her parents said it was too late to head back—they’d have to call a driver, which was troublesome—so they suggested staying the night.Julissa had no objections work-wise. Deep down, she also wanted to stay, but it depended on what Scott thought.If he had things to do the next morning, staying would be inconvenient—he’d need to head home just to change clothes.She looked at him and asked

On the phone screen, Kendrick was leaning shirtless against the headboard, half-asleep, his hair slightly messy. He looked like he had just woken up and hadn’t gotten out of bed yet—there was a lazy, seductive air about him.As soon as he saw her, Kendrick said, “I was just dreaming about you, and then your message came through.”“What were you dreaming about?”Kendrick grinned. “What else? Dreaming about making babies with you.”“…”Thank goodness she had her headphones in. Otherwise, his habit of spouting dirty jokes out of nowhere would’ve caught her totally off guard—again.Annabelle cleared her throat and changed the subject. “Why are you up so late today?”Normally, he woke up at six. But she had quickly done the time zone math—it was already around 8 a.m. where he was.Kendrick said he’d been up late thinking about company matters and couldn’t sleep. Since he had nothing scheduled for the day and it was raining outside, he decided to turn off his alarm and get some proper rest

Anna paused for a moment, then nodded. “Yeah, I finished watching it.”“Did you like it?” Aron asked again.“It was pretty good.”“Mm… that’s good.”And once again, an awkward silence descended. Aron suddenly felt a little ridiculous.He struggled to breathe, wanting to retreat back into that dark corner that belonged to him—lonely, yes, but at least safe.But he forced himself to take a deep breath. He couldn’t retreat anymore.Everything he had done recently—including holding art exhibitions in Germany and elsewhere—was all part of his effort to overcome his antisocial and reclusive nature. He had been forcing himself to step out, to connect with people.Those things that seemed easy for others—like naturally standing in front of someone and greeting them with a smile—had taken him tremendous effort to learn. But now, he could finally do it without fainting or suffering a seizure.And all of this, he had done so he could stand in front of her like a normal person.Now that Anna was

Annabelle pursed her lips and said softly, “Mm, I’m listening…”On the other end of the line, Kendrick suddenly chuckled. “Don’t overthink it—he’s a man.”Annabelle’s cheeks warmed slightly. She didn’t expect that even over the phone, without seeing her, Kendrick could still guess what she was thinking.Being seen through made her a little embarrassed.Since Kendrick was still having dinner with the gentleman, Annabelle didn’t want to hold him up any longer. She said, “That’s all I wanted to say—just letting you know I’m safe. Go finish your dinner.”“Okay. Be careful on the road. See you soon.”His gentle voice came through the receiver, sounding as if he were right beside her.Geographically, they were indeed close now. From Frankfurt to Vienna was just over 700 kilometers—closer than the distance from Elfhedge to the North City.Even though she knew she would be seeing him soon, her heart was filled with even more impatience and longing.Annabelle exhaled and tried to calm her emot

The guy with the braid was so angry he started cursing.Annabelle, on the other hand, was both shocked and delighted—Kendrick was actually in Frankfurt? And right outside the door?How was that even possible?How did the kidnappers recognize Kendrick? Oh right, he had called her earlier, and his photo showed up on the caller ID. So he really did come!But wasn’t he supposed to be in Vienna? Had he been joking with her all along? That sly fox had played tricks on her before.There were times he’d tell her he had to work late and wouldn’t be coming home, only to show up minutes later with a bag full of her favorite snacks. Once, he even told her his business trip wouldn’t end for another three days. She was so disappointed, going to bed alone that night, only to wake in the middle of the night to the bed dipping beside her and Kendrick crawling under the covers, pulling her into his arms. She was startled at first, and once she realized it was him, she scolded, “Didn’t you say you
