I wish it were you のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1491 - チャプター 1500

While they chatted over dinner, Julissa—now with food in her stomach and no longer flustered—took the initiative to talk about what had just happened.Bringing up those two old perverts still made her skin crawl, and she spoke with no small amount of indignation. Fortunately, they’d already been escorted off the train and handed over to the local police station.That was all thanks to the kind stranger who had stepped in to help.Scott took off his disposable gloves and dabbed the corners of his mouth with a napkin. He said he hadn’t planned on discussing upsetting things during a meal, but since she brought it up, he’d fill her in on what happened to those two men.He had already sent a lawyer to handle the situation. Their actions were vile and constituted a criminal offense. Even though the crime wasn’t fully carried out, it was still an attempted offense and violated the law.Through legal channels, Scott would make sure those two paid the price for what they’d done.Julissa hadn’

After another twenty minutes of driving, Scott’s car turned onto a small asphalt road lined with rows of ginkgo trees.They were the only car in sight. Julissa lowered the window to let the fresh air in.The gentle breeze rustled the leaves, cicadas chirped in harmony with birdsong, and Julissa inhaled deeply, feeling an overwhelming sense of peace.Scott deliberately slowed down, pointing ahead to a white structure in the distance. “That’s where we’re going.”Julissa followed his finger. It was a castle-like gray-and-white building built into the side of a mountain.At the foot of the slope, a vast vineyard stretched across the flat land. Clusters of lush green grapevines filled the space, and a few straw-hatted workers could be seen tending to them.Behind the hillside, a series of misty mountains loomed in the distance, with massive white clouds drifting lazily above the peaks.Julissa couldn't help but admire the view. No wonder Mr. Nichols had handed the company over to his son—l

It was the first time Julissa had seen Mr. Nichols looking so weak and vulnerable. She pressed her lips together, trying hard not to laugh. At this moment, she was the textbook definition of a smug little victor.As for whether Scott would get back at her later—Julissa wasn't afraid at all.If he dared to bully her, she'd just cry. Once she cried, her eyes would swell up, and when his father saw that, he'd scold him.At the same time, she also found Scott’s father surprisingly kind. It was their first meeting, and yet he’d sided with her so readily—it truly caught her off guard.Of course, perhaps it was because she resembled Scott’s late younger sister…But then, why did Scott’s mother dislike her so much? Could it be that she, too, saw some resemblance to Sophia, and seeing her only stirred up painful memories?After Scott got a thorough scolding, Scott’s father explained to the two of them that he had to go out for a bit and would return around 3 p.m. They would have a proper dinne

Kendrick turned slightly, “Still awake?”The petite woman softly responded, “Mhm.”“Thought it through?”She chuckled lightly. “I just didn’t want to see you suffer…”“What do you plan to do then?” His voice grew hoarse, not stopping that tender and considerate hand that was wandering.“I can help you…”Her voice was soft and gentle, almost making Kendrick lose all control.After a moment, Kendrick still held her hand in place, unwilling to let Anna exhaust herself just to make him feel better.The doctor had told her to get enough rest, and Kendrick didn’t want to get another earful from Dr. colson.He took a deep breath, turned over, pulled her into a hug, and kissed her forehead. “Be good. I can hold it. Sleep now.”“But if you’re like this… how can I sleep?”“Distract yourself. It'll pass soon.”If she kept messing around, it’d only get worse.The little woman fell asleep quickly, her breathing soon becoming steady. Kendrick watched her by the moonlight, eyes burning like a wolf s

Kendrick’s words brought a sense of ease to Annabelle’s heart.Back when they didn’t know each other, both had encountered seemingly suitable partners—but neither had been moved. Perhaps that too, was a kind of fate.Kendrick then added that if she ever met Lena in the future, she didn’t need to feel awkward, because Lena never truly liked him.Lena had chased after him only because she was deeply infatuated with Anthony. At certain angles, Kendrick resembled him. To her, he was nothing more than a stand-in.Annabelle nodded. Since Anthony and Lena had loved each other, it was hard to understand why they had separated back then.Kendrick said that was exactly what he wanted to tell her.Anthony and Lena had actually made it all the way to the wedding stage, but on the very day of the ceremony, Anthony ran away, making Lena a laughingstock.Later, when Lena found him, she caught him fooling around with another woman, having missed the wedding entirely. Once exposed, he didn’t even both
