Semua Bab I wish it were you: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Annabelle hesitated for a moment, was she really that obvious?Looking into the reflective glass, Annabelle felt her heart inexplicably flutter at the bottomless depths of Kendrick's eyes.Whenever he looked at her with that kind of expression, trouble was bound to follow.Annabelle turned around busily and broke free from his embrace."I washed first."After saying that, Annabelle escaped like a fugitive and darted into the bathroom.When Annabelle came out of the bathroom, after changing into the silk nightgown prepared by the maid in advance, she realized that Kendrick had already fallen asleep, and there was a strange fragrance filling the room.Annabelle understood medicine and was also familiar with the smells and effects of various herbs.This scent resembled a kind of hallucinogenic spice, made by blending several herbs together. When burned, it emitted a unique fragrance that could calm the mind in small amounts.

Annabelle looked at Kendrick in despair. Kendrick, being backlit, had eyes that appeared pitch black. Annabelle couldn't make out the expression on his face, but she could sense a murderous intent emanating from his silence.Actually, I really wanted to say thank you to him. Thank him for helping her at the engagement banquet several months ago.She also thanked him for working so hard for her tonight.But because her mouth was stuck with adhesive tape, she couldn't even say a word of goodbye, only tears welled up.At that moment, the sound of a speedboat engine could be heard in the distance.Kendrick said coldly, "My men will soon surround this ship. If you release her now, I can give you a way out.""Shut up! Get out! Go to the deck!" The scarred man instantly became tense, gasping urgently, "Otherwise, I'll kill her right here!"Annabelle speculated that the criminal might have known that he couldn't escape, so he decided to take

Although Kendrick always acted like a rascal and sometimes his bossiness annoyed her, Annabelle never wanted to see him get hurt.Is it really true, as my mother said, that she is a jinx and anyone who gets close to her will have bad luck?Annabelle thought more and more, and finally burst into tears."Don't cry... I'm not dead yet..." came the hoarse voice of a man, followed by a violent cough.Annabelle instantly woke up and looked at Kendrick, who was lying on the driftwood."Kendrick, you scared me to death just now!" she said, as more tears welled up.He forced out an ugly smile and wiped away her tears."How could I bear to let you become a young widow?"At this point, I was still in the mood to joke with her. Was it really not that serious, or was I just trying to comfort her?"I didn't want to, you just pushed me away!"Annabelle couldn't help but feel scared when she thought about the decision she had mad

Kendrick didn't expect Annabelle to do this, and this deep kiss really ignited his cold body.This was a good thing, and also a bad thing.Because the blood circulation accelerated, his wound also bled more.Finally, Kendrick gently pulled away from Annabelle's dutiful kiss."Alright, silly.""Do you feel better?"Annabelle didn't know how much impact her kiss could have, but there wasn't much she could do now."Much better," Kendrick buried his face in her neck and whispered hoarsely, "I just wanted you too much, it's like my blood is flowing faster."The explicit sweet talk made Annabelle's face flush, and she anxiously looked towards the wound on his shoulder, and sure enough, a lot of blood was oozing out again."Kendrick, you were really crazy."He gave a bitter smile and said, "It's good enough to be able to kiss you before dying."At such a time, he still had the mood to say such things!Anywa

Jax did not report immediately, but instead looked cautiously at the sleeping Annabelle.He was a cautious person, holding a guard against anyone, even the boss's favorite.Kendrick nodded at him and said, "Go ahead, speak."Jax began to speak: "The person who kidnapped the lady was bribed by Lisa, with the intention of killing her. Lisa was able to act in the mansion because..."Kendrick frowned and said, "Just say it.""Because she had a relationship with your uncle, but your uncle...""What uncle, Tanner," Kendrick clenched his fist, veins bulging on his forehead out of anger.Jax then changed his tone: "Tanner didn't know Lisa's specific intentions, and he probably didn't expect that Lisa wanted to kill his wife, so he just did as she said and helped her. As for the person who later shot at you, it shouldn't be related to Lisa. I haven't found out their identity yet, but the footage retrieved from the dock shows that they all have
