Wilson thought for a moment and said, "The young master is strong and healthy, so he doesn’t really need any supplements. But since he works so hard, taking some extra nourishment could help. This recipe is mainly to strengthen his body, boost his immunity, and keep both him and the young lady in good health—it won't harm their bodies."Trey took the prescription and promised to deliver it.After Annabelle fell asleep, Kendrick quietly left the suite. He went to his grandfather’s room.Staying up on New Year's Eve was a tradition for his grandfather, and with everything that had happened tonight, he certainly wouldn’t be going to sleep.When his grandfather saw Kendrick enter, he was holding a small set of polished rosewood prayer beads. He came into the living room of the suite.“How is Annabelle?”“She’s asleep. She’ll be fine.”“That’s good. Lisa is in the basement nanny’s room; her condition is stable for now.”After a pause, his grandfather looked at Kendrick and said, "What are y

“Mom, can we not bring that up again?”Talking about the night he got Annabelle drunk gave Marvin a headache. He regretted his moment of impulsiveness, which had completely wiped out all the goodwill he had painstakingly built with her.But Lydia insisted. She earnestly explained to her son that for women—especially conservative ones like Annabelle—once they had shared intimacy with a man, their perception of him would never be the same. Physical closeness created emotional ties, making it impossible for her to see him as just a friend again.And if he left behind some evidence, Annabelle would have no choice but to listen to him.The first time was always the hardest, but after that, things would naturally fall into place. The more time they spent together in such an intimate manner, the stronger their bond would become—so much so that even if she wanted to leave him, she wouldn’t be able to.And once her relationship with Kendrick fell apart, wouldn’t that mean she was his for the ta

Annabelle thought to herself, *I've already given myself to you, and you're still asking me this question? You're really getting a bargain and still acting coy.* In the past, she had thought she shouldn't accept these red envelopes as a fake daughter-in-law, and she planned to return them all when they divorced. But after being so intimate with Kendrick, she had unknowingly accepted the role of the Gregory family's young mistress. Her mindset changed, and for issues that weren't major, she no longer cared too much. For example, the New Year red envelopes… "You did say that what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine," Annabelle said with a smile. "Ugh—why didn’t I notice you’re such a little money grabber?" "I’m just curious," she replied. She still hadn’t told him that she really wanted to buy a little wooden box to store her favorite jewelry in. She was afraid that if she told him, he'd just buy it for her—after all, that amount of money meant nothing to him. But Annab

Hmm? She has no intention of compensation at all. This guy is just looking for reasons to tease her...Annabelle muttered to herself, giving him a glare, whispering, "Did you grow four kidneys or something?"Kendrick chuckled softly. "If you really think that way, Annabelle, you might just turn into a bad girl.""..."Annabelle inwardly sighed in exasperation. Why is she always being teased, no matter the situation?Just when she thought most of the guests had arrived and were chatting in the living room, Annabelle planned to sneak back to her room. But just as she was about to enter the elevator, a middle-aged woman, whose exact relation to the family was unclear, grabbed her wrist."Annabelle, come, come, don't go yet! Let me tell your fortune! The first fortune of the new year is always the most accurate."As she spoke, she tried to pull Annabelle towards the sitting room.This enthusiastic woman, plump and dressed in a purple dress, with her hair elegantly styled and heavy makeup,

Annabelle was still wondering how to explain their flash marriage. Technically speaking, she was the one who proposed the deal—she’d help Kendrick treat his migraines, and in exchange, they got engaged. But later, when they went to get the marriage certificate and ended up turning fake into real, that wasn’t her scheming. That was all Kendrick’s little tricks. Just as Annabelle was feeling a bit awkward, Kendrick walked in with a smile and said, “I fell in love with Annabelle at first sight. I was the one who proposed.” He had just finished chatting with a few uncles when he overheard the lively discussion on this side of the room. Glancing over, he saw his little bunny sitting inside. He was puzzled about why she hadn’t gone back to their room, but then he heard Aunt Emma talking about Annabelle’s destiny and instantly understood the situation. She had probably been dragged into this by Aunt Emma, who had a particular hobby—fortune-telling. Gregoryessing that his little bun
