Semua Bab I wish it were you: Bab 411 - Bab 420

Annabelle blinked. She had only glanced at Marvin a little longer, hadn’t she?She then picked up some vinegar-braised fish and placed it on Kendrick's plate. "Here, darling, this is a dish you love."Kendrick raised an eyebrow. Hmm, little bunny is getting bold, teasing him in front of everyone?He leaned a little closer to her and whispered, “Actually, right now, I feel like eating a rabbit.” Then, he lightly scratched her palm, his tone flirtatious.Annabelle’s face immediately flushed red.At that moment, Marvin entered the dining room. Annabelle decided to ignore Kendrick and focus on him.Marvin greeted everyone at the table first. Before that, Lydia had already explained to the guests that Marvin had a high fever last night and had been resting in the morning, so he arrived late, and the guests understood.In the past, if Marvin had shown up after the meal had started, Grandfather Gregory would have scolded him severely. But since Marvin saved Annabelle the night before, Grandf

That evening, Annabelle fed Coco a can of venison, which served as its New Year’s feast. The venison had been sent by Jaime, top-quality and tasty. Coco enjoyed the meal so much that it made Annabelle hungry just watching.She hadn’t eaten enough for lunch, so she decided to make an early dinner. After feeding the cat, she went to the kitchen, only to find that Kendrick was already cooking.It seemed like he was making soup?Kendrick was usually busy, and it was rare for him to cook. Annabelle couldn’t help but stand at the door, watching him for a while.He was focused and meticulous, carefully preparing the ingredients. Everything was arranged neatly on the counter—freshly prepared ingredients placed in dishes, seasonings in small bowls, and the kitchen counter was spotless, nothing out of place.From the amount of food, it was clear he was preparing a meal for two.Seeing this man, who was making soup for her, Annabelle’s heart warmed. She suddenly felt that the usually serious and

Annabelle had already discussed the piece with Seamus before performing. It was a famous French love song, with a lively melody perfect for the New Year. Seamus could sing it, and Annabelle could play it on the instrument. They instantly hit it off.At this moment, Annabelle wore a dress, a graceful outfit that complemented her gentle demeanor. Yet, she played a lively foreign song, blending Eastern and Western styles. Rather than clashing, the fusion gave an impression of artistic talent, as though she could master any instrument and any genre with her long fingers.In the audience, Kendrick's gaze grew deeper.Every time Annabelle performed, it captivated him. She always played with a smile, her gaze pure. When she looked at him, it felt like she wasn’t truly looking at him, but at a world only she could see—a beautiful, pristine world that no one could enter.This made Kendrick, who was always so certain, feel a bit of loss. Annabelle was his, but at the same time, not entirely his

Annabelle had just gotten into bed, still awake and a bit preoccupied, her thoughts running in circles. She was considering what to do next time she saw the young master—perhaps she should just tell him that she and Kendrick were already...Just as she was thinking about this, Kendrick climbed into bed and pressed closely against her waist in a suggestive manner.Annabelle originally planned to stay quiet and pretend to sleep, but then she suddenly remembered something and quickly turned to face him. "Kendrick, didn't we agree you wouldn't come into my bed for three days?"The three-day rule was a punishment for him leaving a kiss mark on her neck on purpose. But since she was still in his arms, her words lacked any real power.However, Kendrick, upon hearing her, relaxed his hold and said, "Oh right, I forgot. Then I'll leave now."Kendrick actually got out of bed.Just as Annabelle was wondering why he was being so obedient today, she found that he had walked over to her side, wrapp

"Why do you look so bad? Have you started losing sleep again?" Annabelle asked as she sat down.She knew that since Julissa's car accident, she had been dealing with migraines and insomnia, so she thought her condition had flared up again.But Julissa waved her hand dismissively, as if she didn’t care, and smiled. "Ah, I just had a breakup. Haven’t had much of an appetite lately, so I thought I’d come out and clear my head."Annabelle was shocked. "You broke up with Liam? Weren’t you two preparing for your wedding just a few days ago?"And as far as Annabelle knew, Julissa and Liam had grown up in the same neighborhood, attended the same schools from elementary to university, and were childhood sweethearts. They had planned to get married after graduation, but then Julissa had the accident, falling into a coma for over 20 days. When she woke up, Liam proposed to her immediately.As Julissa’s health improved, she couldn’t continue dancing and became quite depressed. She went to Tahiti
