If he had known this would be the outcome, Kendrick would never have told her so much!Now that the little woman was completely reassured about him, she was leaving him behind without a second thought."Anna, I still need some company too…""I can't help you with anything here. Just focus on work, I'll see you tonight!"As Anna spoke, she had already put on her coat and grabbed her bag, ready to leave.But just as she reached the door, something crossed her mind. She quickly ran back, wrapped her arms around Kendrick’s neck, and kissed him on the cheek. "If you get tired, take a break. You need to rest well to work well."Kendrick tried to grab her hand and pull her back into his arms for some "rest" right away.But the little rabbit was too quick—he only caught the tip of her fingers before she slipped away.Watching her figure disappear through the door, Kendrick could only smile helplessly. Soon, he forced himself to shift his focus away from her and back to his work.Annabelle fir

Annabelle described the woman's appearance in detail.Julissa thought hard but couldn't figure out who she might be.If it were a friend of hers, they wouldn’t have just left without coming in.Then, hearing Anna describe the woman's expression, Julissa muttered, "Could she be Scott’s secret admirer?"Having read too many romance novels, Julissa couldn’t help but feel that the woman acted just like a love rival.There was another reason, too. Ever since she got together with Scott, she had grown more and more fond of him.She had seen many of his good qualities—his integrity, strong sense of responsibility, and self-discipline. In every aspect, he was outstanding.Though she sometimes found him annoyingly straightforward, she knew deep down that he was a dependable man.And while she often teased him for his expressionless face, she also frequently caught herself staring at him, mesmerized, as if her eyes were turning into heart-shaped peaches.On top of that, his occasional possessiv

Seraphina lowered her gaze, her voice tinged with a heavy nasal tone. "Yes, Young Master."She pulled the curtains tightly shut and carefully tucked the blanket around him.Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Ryan suddenly grasped it."A Ying, thank you."His eyes were closed as he spoke. If they were open, he would have seen how just those simple words made her eyes instantly brim with tears."… Young Master, please rest well. I’ll… head out now."Ryan nodded slightly and let go of her hand.Seraphina walked out of the bedroom, pressing the hand he had just held against her chest as tears silently streamed down her face.Ever since she learned that he had been poisoned, she hadn’t had a proper night’s sleep.She never dared to hope that he would love her the way he loved Ms. Sanchez. But as long as he could see her devotion, she was already content.Canglan Courtyard, 10 PM.Annabelle lay alone in bed. Kendrick hadn’t returned yet, and she had no idea if he would come back to

Maria was a graceful yet strict instructor.She had once been an international supermodel, but after getting married, she retired and became a posture coach.All the models participating in the launch event would undergo a three-day intensive training and rehearsal under her guidance. Since Annabelle had no prior experience, she had to start training earlier.However, after just half a day of training, Annabelle felt like she was going to collapse.Even though she put in great effort, Maria frequently shook her head. "This isn’t something you can master overnight, and you don’t have much time left. You need to focus on understanding the essence of it, Annabelle."When the training finally ended, it was already 8 PM. Annabelle dragged her exhausted legs to her car, feeling utterly drained and frustrated.She rested her head on the steering wheel for a moment, then decided to go see Kendrick.He had come home late the previous night, but she hadn't gotten the chance to see him.That aft

Annabelle's brow furrowed in a frown. "Are you spying on me again?" she asked, her voice tinged with irritation. Otherwise, how did he know she went for a morning run with Gauge? It seemed like the only explanation for how he could have found out about her activities so quickly."I wasn't spying on you," Kendrick replied. After saying this, his movements did become a little gentler, as if he was trying to prove his point. But Annabelle was still skeptical. How else could he have known about her morning run?"Then how did you know—" she began, but before she could finish, he kissed her, cutting off her words. His lips were firm and insistent, effectively silencing any further questions. He didn't like talking about other men when he was being intimate with her, and Annabelle could sense his discomfort with the topic.Annabelle wanted to explain that her leg pain wasn't from running. In fact, she hadn't even run much this morning. Her legs hurt mainly because of the intense training she
