Semua Bab I wish it were you: Bab 1421 - Bab 1430

They chatted and chatted until the sky turned light, and Annabelle’s stomach started growling.It was then she had a sudden idea and invited Seraphina and Young Master out for breakfast.After a quick change of clothes at the hotel, she and Kendrick came to this quiet little town.Thinking back on their spontaneous night, Annabelle couldn’t help but laugh.She used to be someone who loved making plans, but ever since she got together with Kendrick, who never played by the rules, she had become more easygoing.…“Still thinking about last night?” Kendrick’s voice pulled her out of her thoughts, and she shot him a glare.Kendrick grinned. “If your back hurt, you should’ve told me. At least I could’ve changed positions…”Annabelle ignored his cheeky comment and said, “Weren’t you gonna carry me earlier? Still gonna do it or not?”Kendrick stood up and sighed dramatically, “I can try, but I’m feeling a bit sore after last night’s workout.”Annabelle chuckled, “You were chasing me around a

Ever since his mother passed away, Kendrick had left the little villa in the suburbs with his father.But truthfully, a part of him had always remained in that house—never truly walking out.All these years, he had resented his father—hated him for being heartless to his mother, for being fickle in love.He had also blamed himself countless times. If only he had realized his mother was ill sooner, told his father earlier, maybe she wouldn’t have died.With this resentment and guilt, he had lived for over twenty years.Every time he saw Marvin receiving love and care from his own mother, Kendrick would always wonder—If his own mother were still alive, wouldn’t she feel distressed seeing him work overnight?Wouldn’t she bring him a glass of warm milk?Maybe she’d even ask if there was a girl he liked, and if there was, she’d want to meet her.He had always believed his mother died from an illness—That it was his father’s indifference that pushed her into depression, and eventually led

Seraphina thought the young master had really thought everything through, so she clung tighter to his neck. Then, just like earlier, she hopped up and wrapped herself around his waist.Ryan waded through the water and carried her to the small boat.She settled into the cabin and noticed a swim cap left behind by someone—proof that this part of the river was indeed suitable for swimming. That gave her some peace of mind.Still, the young master insisted on checking the river conditions first.He took off his soaked outerwear and handed it to her.Seraphina unfolded the clothes and hung them along the boat’s rail to dry. She also slipped off her trench coat, revealing only a long T-shirt underneath.Thankfully, the sun had come out, so it wasn’t cold at all.She stole a glance at the young master’s perfectly proportioned and muscular body—he was now only in a pair of swim trunks. Just one look, and her face burned hot. She quickly dropped her gaze.The young master ruffled her hair and

Seraphina pulled her phone out of her small bag, ready to contact Brother Carl for help.This time, the Young Master had come to Austria with two bodyguards and a personal assistant who also doubled as his driver—Carl.Before she called Carl, she noticed a message from Anna.The message had been sent earlier that morning—Anna said she’d received the prescription Seraphina had sent, and reminded her to double-check with the hotel, because most places in the town didn’t have air conditioning and could get a bit stuffy.Seraphina sighed to herself. At this point, they couldn’t even be sure if they could get back to shore, let alone worry about hotel AC.“What’s with the sigh?” The Young Master brushed aside a strand of her hair. “Worried we can’t get ashore?”Seraphina turned to look at the man behind her who didn’t seem the least bit concerned. “Anna said most hotels in the town don’t have AC, told us to confirm before checking in.”The Young Master nodded. “No AC? That’s no good.”Sera

After the young master spoke, he left the villa, slamming the door shut in Seraphina’s face.Barefoot on the cold agate floor tiles, she rushed to the living room window and peered out through the floor-to-ceiling glass to watch what was happening in the garden.Right now, she wasn’t the least bit interested in taking a shower, and she definitely wasn’t worried about the strands of water plants still tangled in her hair.All she cared about was—what was the young master going to do to Sid?Sid had risked his life for the young master more times than she could count and had followed him for over a decade. If the young master punished him harshly over one minor incident, how was that any different from Damien?If the young master went too far, Seraphina was fully prepared to rush out and stop him without hesitation.But until he crossed that line, she had to stay out of it and observe.By now, the young master had walked right up to Sid. They were about the same height—Sid broader and m
