Annabelle wore a pair of blue wide-leg jeans and a white casual shirt with a high ponytail tied up behind her head. It was pleasant to the eyes.She didn't wear a mask or a veil. Marvin thought her eyes were exceptionally bewitching.Marvin came here to pay tribute to her mother. He was reluctant at first, but after he met the woman he yearned for, his mood was immediately lifted.Marvin walked toward Annabelle in big strides.He said, "Should we reintroduce ourselves?"That day, Marvin ran into Annabelle by the lake and flirted with her on purpose. Later, he found out that she was the fiancée that he abandoned in front of everyone.Marvin felt humiliated and regretted it.Thus, he made up his mind to win her back.Annabelle frowned. "I don't think it's necessary."Marvin was upset when he realized that Annabelle didn't care for it."You recognized me, but you pretended to be a stranger. Was it to get back at me?""I didn't pretend. You just didn't recognize me."Annabelle wanted to w
When Annabelle found out she was being photographed, she tensed up.If the photos of her and Marvin were posted online, there would be very nasty rumors.Even though Kendrick and Annabelle would soon divorce, she didn't want to get him into trouble for this stupid mistake.Thinking of it, Annabelle became desperate. She couldn't wait to get rid of the troublesome Marvin."Alright, I've forgiven you. Can I go now?" she asked.Marvin was smart enough to tell that Annabelle was being perfunctory. When she was about to turn around, he suddenly hugged her.It exasperated Annabelle, so she stomped on his foot and pushed him away."I'm your sister-in-law now. Please behave yourself!"However, Marvin felt like hugging her for longer.He was intoxicated by her slender and soft body and her hair that exuded some elegant herbal fragrance.And most importantly, Annabelle was unlike any other woman Marvin had ever met.Compared with Annabelle, those women were simply mediocre and vulgar.Marvin de
Kendrick just shrugged and left with his arm around Annabelle.Watching them walk away side by side, Marvin felt more indignant.But he was not powerful enough to fight Kendrick, nor could he get Annabelle back for now. He threw away the umbrella in a huff and got into the car."Let's go back. Our first stop is Stellar Bar," he said to the driver in a low voice.In the meantime, Annabelle and Kendrick walked to the parking lot of Springvale Temple, sharing an umbrella.Kendrick asked faintly, "Why did you come to the mountains?"But in his heart, he wondered, "Did she and Marvin meet by chance or by appointment? If I hadn't come, would she have taken his car?"But Kendrick was too self-conscious to ask directly. He didn't want to sound like a jealous whiny man.Annabelle waved the painting before his eyes and smiled, "I heard that Ethan liked paintings of this style, so I asked a friend for one. It's a gift for him."Kendrick narrowed his eyes and nodded.It was a bit cruel to tell he
"Not a boyfriend. Ella got it wrong," Annabelle replied.The answer didn't make Kendrick feel better.He thought Annabelle must have been in the city more than once for the same man, so Ella asked if Annabelle was there for "her boyfriend".And Annabelle didn't deny this part.It suddenly came to Kendrick that Annabelle talked about moving into her friend's apartment the day he and Annabelle went to the City Hall.Kendrick guessed "her friend" was the man Ella mentioned just now.Even if Annabelle and that man were not in a relationship, he was special to Annabelle.Kendrick couldn't help but glance at her when she was looking out the window at the heavy rain. There seemed to be many things hidden in her indifferent eyes.He once thought Annabelle was just an ordinary girl who was abandoned by her family, but as they spent more time together, Kendrick began to feel that she was complicated.Annabelle didn't go to school but, judged by the books she chose to read, she was highly educat
In the last few days after Annabelle came back from Springvale Temple, Trey had been occupied with some matters at the Gregory's mansion and didn't have time to pay attention to Annabelle.Annabelle found that a relief. She didn't have to share a room with Kendrick and had a good sleep.In the blink of an eye, it was Ethan's birthday party.Kendrick prepared a dress for Annabelle. Unexpectedly, she had already got her own dress for the party, and it was a long dress with elegant colors.Such a tight dress demanded a perfect body shape, and it could highlight even a little bit of fat on a woman's body.Of course, it would make the most flattering outfit if it fitted.Annabelle had that kind of perfect body shape.She was curvy with a long fair neck and a tiny waist. The most attractive part was her slender legs, which could be seen now and then through the slits of the dress. No man could resist the temptation to peek.Kendrick looked at Annabelle in the sexy dress and put on a serious
Kendrick brought Annabelle to his grandfather, and they congratulated Ethan on his birthday together.Ethan smiled at his grandson and lovely granddaughter-in-law and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction."Kendrick, you finally came to your senses!""It's just that I hadn't met the right person before," Kendrick smiled and glanced at Annabelle beside him.Annabelle blushed slightly, thinking Kendrick knew how to put on a show in front of the elders.Then Annabelle presented the gift.She respectfully said to Ethan, "Grandpa, I heard that you like Melvin's paintings, so I got one for you. I hope you'll like it."As soon as Ethan heard the name of Melvin, his eyes lit up.But then Ethan thought it was impossible. How could his young granddaughter-in-law know Melvin?Annabelle grew up in Springvale Temple, and Melvin had secluded himself. Springvale Temple was thriving, so Melvin would not choose to stay there.As for Melvin's works, except for a few that were auctioned off, the rest were
Lisa was just thinking about how to deal with Annabelle. As soon as she heard that Annabelle had offered a painting by Melvin, she had an idea.Even Ethan didn't know Melvin. What could Lisa do? This was ridiculous.Ethan hurriedly said, "Hey, Lisa, if you want to appreciate the painting, why not wait until after the banquet...""Lisa, you don't want us to appreciate it openly. Are you afraid that Ms. Sanchez's painting is a fake?"That was a bit rude to say. Generous as Ethan was, he didn't take it to heart, though he felt a little embarrassed.Ethan replied lightly, "Annabelle will never give a fake one.""Why don't you let us appreciate it, Ethan? You are so stingy!"What Lisa said escalated the atmosphere. The guests around were old friends of Ethan, and they joined in, saying they wanted to appreciate the painting.Kendrick frowned unhappily, wanting to protect Annabelle from trouble. But after a moment of contemplation, he dismissed the thought.If something was concealed, it o
Marvin, as if enchanted, walked towards Annabelle. But suddenly, he noticed that Kendrick's hand was resting on Annabelle's waist.Marvin stopped in his tracks, and anger surged through him.His beloved woman was being embraced by another man openly.And Marvin didn't even have the qualification to stand by her side anymore.Marvin wanted to rush over immediately, pull Annabelle away from Kendrick's embrace, and then hold her hand, taking her home. Tomorrow morning, they would go to the City Hall to register for marriage...Fantasizing about these things, Marvin couldn't help but laugh out loud and felt even more bitter.He couldn't do that. Today was his grandfather's birthday banquet.In front of so many people, Marvin couldn't do crazy things again.Marvin closed his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he clenched his fist and restrained that impulse. Then he left the banquet hall.Lisa, who was resentful about the incident just now, saw Marvin's angry departure and had a brilliant i
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the three girls immediately changed their expressions.They had only speculated that Annabelle had connections, as it had not been confirmed.When Annabelle changed her usual gentle and quiet appearance, she really showed her sharp fangs to them, and the three girls showed surprise, with two timid ones even directly showing fear."We didn't say anything about you..." the short person was about to explain, but was pulled back by her best friend."Is it impressive to have someone to rely on?" The girl with long hair raised her pointed chin, looking arrogant. "Aren't you just relying on your looks? Once men get tired of playing with you, what do you think you are? Just a pair of worn-out shoes!"Annabelle glanced coldly at the girl."Even if I attracted men with my looks, it's because I had them. You are different."After saying that, she threw the tissue she had wiped her hands with into
Annabelle typed a few words in the chat window: "Did you sleep?"When did you come back home?Annabelle deleted and edited again and again, but in the end, she gave up the idea of initiating contact.And it was 3 o'clock in the morning, even if I sent a message, Kendrick might not see it.She sighed and felt inexplicably irritated, pulling the blanket over her face.On Kendrick's side, he had just finished work and was busy deleting and editing with Annabelle. At that moment, he inexplicably opened her chat window and saw the "typing..." prompt. Kendrick's heart suddenly warmed up.Was she still awake?He waited for a long time, but Annabelle did not send a message. The "typing" indicator was also gone.It was a small matter, but it made Kendrick happy, at least, she thought of him late at night.But why did she hesitate and ultimately not say it? Could it be something like "Let's get divorced"?At the thought of
Annabelle opened the door and saw Kendrick's assistant Jaime standing outside."Assistant Gao, is there something you need?"Jaime respectfully said, "Madam, I came to help Mr. Gregory with his laundry."Annabelle paused for a moment and asked, "Hasn't he come back home yet?"Jaime was a perceptive person and he knew that there was a misunderstanding between the two of them. After listening to Annabelle's words, he understood that both of them wanted to reconcile now. Unfortunately, the president's wife was stubborn, and the president was even more stubborn.As his assistant, he naturally had to mediate more and said, "These days, there are too many things happening in the company, and the CEO is also thinking about going home every day."Annabelle blinked her eyes, is it true?How come even the clothes are now being sent back by the assistant, and she used to call her every day before, but now she doesn't even send a single message.
Kendrick let go of Annabelle, turned around indifferently, and walked towards upstairs.Annabelle watched his departing figure and chuckled self-deprecatingly.This is the fragile affection established between people.When she left home in the morning, she still believed that Kendrick was a reliable man. However, at this moment, she realized that she really couldn't have hope in anyone anymore.However, since that day, the two of them entered into a cold war mode.Kendrick would leave early and return late, even though they lived under the same roof, Annabelle hardly ever saw him.As for Kendrick's head ailment, surprisingly, Annabelle was no longer treating it.Annabelle felt uneasy for two days. Seeing Kendrick being cold towards her, she didn't want to beg him for treatment either.And Kendrick also said that they could get a divorce anytime. Annabelle wanted to wait until the next time she saw him to arrange a time to meet
Kendrick, however, took advantage of the opportunity and invaded the city, seizing the land.Annabelle couldn't stand such kisses, pushing Kendrick away with her hand while making a "wuwu" sound involuntarily.This also made him unable to help but think of the situation where she embraced that man.Annabelle bit his lip, and a sudden taste of blood filled her mouth.Kendrick felt a slight pain on his lips, hesitated for a moment, but did not let go.On the contrary, his kiss became more intense.Annabelle was picked up by him and taken directly to the sofa in the living room...Until this moment, Annabelle realized how weak her power had been.Kendrick kissed more passionately, and his body grew hotter and hotter.Annabelle's pores instantly opened up.She had experienced this scene before, although she managed to escape later, that incident of almost being insulted suddenly reappeared like a nightmare.Eve
Annabelle blinked her eyes and smiled, "So, your fans won't eat me, right?""To be honest," Fabian said earnestly, "if you still need a marriage to protect you by then, I am willing to provide you with this safe haven."Annabelle understood the meaning of this sentence, which was that if she still needed to fake a marriage with someone in the future, she didn't have to look for Kendrick anymore, she could just go directly to Fabian.So she raised her eyebrows and said with a relaxed tone, "Alright, I will come to you then. It seems that I don't have to worry about anything anymore!""If you had told me earlier, you wouldn't have to make this agreement with Kendrick now," Fabian said, lightly tapping her forehead, "making you impulsive."Annabelle stuck out her tongue, she was indeed too eager and got carried away at the engagement banquet.However, even if she had been given the chance to think it over calmly again, she would never have cons
Annabelle was not angry either, she sat down on the chair next to him and teased him, saying, "Be careful, if you cry wolf too many times, it won't work anymore."Fabian smiled and sat up straight."How have you been lately? Are you still adjusting well to life in the Gregory family?"Did Annabelle get used to the situation of being hugged and kissed by Kendrick in the morning?I don't know if life is adaptable or not, but anyway, Kendrick's rogue behavior seems to have become a norm.Thinking about this, Annabelle sighed."Did he bully you?"Annabelle shook her head, "No."She knew Fabian's personality, and if he found out that Kendrick was always taking advantage of her from time to time, Fabian was likely to go directly to Kendrick to settle the score."By the way, can you help me take a look at this dress? Can it be repaired?" Annabelle took out a little dress and handed it to Fabian, while changing the subject.
Annabelle stared wide-eyed in terror, as she was dressed scantily and could clearly feel Kendrick's scorching and rigid body.She immediately pushed his chest with force, but couldn't move him, so she opened her mouth and bit his lip.Kendrick felt a slight tingling at the corner of his lips. Although he wanted to continue, he also understood the principle of stopping while ahead. He then released her body and smiled, saying, "This is a token of gratitude."Annabelle's face turned red, feeling embarrassed and not knowing how to deal with this rascal, she turned around and ran out of the study.Watching her running out with her skirt fluttering, Kendrick couldn't help but laugh. He was on fire, and it took a long time for it to extinguish.After leaving the study, Annabelle's mood remained unsettled for a long time.Her mind was filled with the scenes of being kissed by him, and her whole body was filled with his scent. This disturbed feeling
After listening, Kendrick hesitated for a moment and said, "I happen to know a classical guitar master who can come to our house and teach you."Annabelle, however, quickly shook her head and said, "No need, I want to go to school to study."Annabelle had a longing for college, where she could also attend other courses such as literature and history.Kendrick sighed in his heart, it seemed that he couldn't stop it.Actually, it would be great if she could stay and go to school. Kendrick has been worried lately, afraid that she would have nothing to do and feel lonely staying at home, constantly wanting to go out.Just his beautiful little wife, once she went to school, he could imagine how many boys coveted her.They were all around the same age as Annabelle and were also studying art, perhaps even more so than him and her, they might have had more topics to talk about.Thinking about all this, Kendrick felt very uncomfortable.
