"Dylan…" Kendall called out softly.
Her voice was so soft that Dylan did not hear her. Tears started to fall as she watched the motorcade drive further and further away.
Squatting by the road, she covered her face and started to sob. He really is unpredictable!
She thought that he was treating her well and would never display such unpredictability again.
He was treating her like this just because she was stunned. Yet, she did not know how to convey it to him. If it were not for her experiencing what it was like to be reborn firsthand, who would believe such a thing?
In the past, she really did love Jackson with all her heart… Why did the God of Reincarnation not let me relive the moment 25 years ago, when I still did not know I was the real daughter of the Parker Family and who Jackson was?
If she had been reborn 25 years ago, she would have met Dylan first and might even have prevented the accident that made him a cripple.
Unfortunately, she just had to go back to the day when she slit her wrist to refuse the marriage in front of Dylan!
Sitting in the car, he was in a very sour mood that gave rise to an atmosphere that could freeze someone.
Ronnie, who kept turning around to look at him, was expecting him to order the driver to turn around. "Young Master?"
Dylan did not answer him.
"Young Master, may I say something?"
His words only made Dylan reply coldly, "It's not like I shut your mouth with tape."
Ronnie then braced himself before saying, "Young Master, even though the Young Mistress might not have really given up on Jackson, it was definitely of her own will to get married to you. Of course, we can't exclude the fact that she might have ulterior motives, but after your wedding, she has always treated you wholeheartedly. Young Master, the reason why you're getting angry is because you're starting to care about her. What the Young Mistress said was correct. A married couple should have trust, respect and understanding for each other. No matter how much she used to love Jackson, she is now your wife and I trust that she knows that too. Young Master, you should give her more time to change her thoughts and believe in her more instead of misunderstanding and chasing her out of the car. Mentioning a bride's kidnapping? Would you be happy if the Young Mistress really went ahead to do that?"
Dylan still remained silent in his sour mood. I am upset!
Forget about the bride's kidnapping; he was already green with envy just because she was stunned when she heard about Jackson wanting to take responsibility for Krystal. This was why they suddenly had a fallout.
If she really dares to kidnap the bride… I'll place her under house arrest and never let her go out again. Then, she can only stay put and be my wife! This is her retribution for wanting to get married to me no matter what! I've given her chances to mull over her decision. It was she who did not think through this properly. So, I can't be blamed, can I?
"Young Master, are we to turn back and pick up the young mistress?"
Dylan replied resolutely, "If she calls me and apologizes, I'll let someone pick her up. Otherwise, she can just walk home."
Ronnie was speechless at his behavior. A jealous Young Master is both stubborn and petty!
In the end, Kendall did not call Dylan. After crying for a while, she stood up and wiped her tears before proceeding to walk back while calling Amelia.
Even though her bag was left in Dylan's car, fortunately she had her phone on her since she had just finished speaking with Amelia. Otherwise, she really would have to walk home.
This was how pitiful she was, having a car that she could not drive.
From then on, Kendall decided to drive herself and not listen to that man again. If men could be believed, pigs could fly.
Amelia soon answered her call.
"Hey, Amelia, come pick me up. I'm at XX road right now."
"What? Did you cry, Kendall? Okay, I'm coming over now."
"Okay. I'll be waiting for you here."
Hanging up, Kendall waited at the roadside for Amelia to come pick her up.
In a jiffy, Amelia had arrived. "Kendall."
After parking, she quickly got out of the car and approached her while asking, "What's wrong, Kendall?"
Regaining her composure, Kendall replied, "Let's talk after we get in the car."
It was only until the two had gotten into the car that Kendall told her friend about the whole incident.
When she heard that Dylan and Kendall were already married, Amelia nearly crashed into the car in front of her.
"I'm sorry for not telling the truth, Amelia. He did not announce this, so I thought that he wanted our relationship to be kept secret. That's why I hid it from you too."
Now, Dylan obviously did not plan on hiding their relationship anymore. This was why Kendall told her friend.
"I'm sorry, Kendall." Amelia continued guiltily, "It's all because I told you about that gossip that caused you and Dylan to argue."
If she knew that her friend was married to Dylan and was at his side, she would not gossip about that, even if she was threatened to do so.
A sighing Kendall replied, "It doesn't have anything to do with you. It's all because of my sudden change. Excluding them, I don't think any of you all would fully believe me."
After all, she used to love Jackson so deeply.
Staying silent, Amelia admitted it.
"What we lack in our relationship is a solid base to fall back on. This is why we are quick to be divided, but he really treats me very nicely to the point that I've fallen and can't get back out."
When Dylan was treating Kendall nicely, she felt as if she was his everything.
"Kendall, I won't ask why you chose to get married to Master Dylan, but what are you going to do now that you two have fallen out so badly? I mean, who doesn't know about his temper in the whole of Orapolis?" Amelia pitied her friend.
In the first place, Dylan already had a bad temper; it only grew worse after his accident. From what the rumors suggested, even his family dared not simply enter his residence in fear of incurring his wrath.
All the servants of the Coleman Family had already been scolded harshly more than once.
So, in Amelia's eyes, Dylan was nothing more than a devil to her. She was actually in awe of Kendall's courage to get married to Dylan. Excluding the fact that Dylan was a cripple and cruel, his temper only made her unwilling to even think about this thought of marrying him even if she was forced to.
"We should calm down first. He's being very analytic right now, so he would never listen to whatever excuse I come up with. I can only talk to him after his anger subsides. Let's have something to eat, Amelia. I'm starving. Also, after the meal, can you accompany me to the Whittles?"
"You're going to the Whittles even when you and Master Dylan are at odds with each other? If he were to catch wind of this, he would just become more pissed."
Pursing her mouth, Kendall replied, "I've promised him to take back all the presents I gave to Jackson back then, but I still haven't done that even now. If I don't take them back today, I don't think I'll be able to even step into the entrance of the Coleman Family."
Nodding, Amelia agreed. "Alright then. Let's go to Jackson's house to take the gifts back after eating."
Kendall grunted in return. Remembering about work, she called her father to ask for an afternoon's leave.
Being an understanding person, Adam did not ask why she asked for a sudden leave. After finishing her conversation with her father, she stared at her phone. Should I call that envy-filled man?
