It feels really nice to be trusted by her. Dylan was in a better mood as a result. "Kendall, stay with me for the rehabilitation a little longer."
Kendall nodded and stood back up before she made another gesture for him to keep up the effort.
Seeing that their young master had been pacified by their young mistress, the bodyguards heaved a sigh of relief. After Dylan was well-rested, they returned to their original position far away from the couple in order to ensure their presence would not disturb the two.
Due to Kendall's support and encouragement, Dylan managed to last for several hours of physical rehabilitation this time. "Dylan, it's late. Let's go back into the house," Kendall reminded Dylan—who was serious with his physical rehabilitation—that it was time to go back into the house and rest. Throughout the rehabilitation, Kendall had reminded Dylan countless times to go back into the house and rest but to no avail, as when Dylan was serious, he would be very headstrong as well.
Dylan took a glance at his watch and realized that it was already past nine. In the past, he would think that it was still early, as he usually slept at around midnight. However, ever since he lost the use of his legs, he stopped going out late at night, which made the time he slept earlier than before. "Alright."
Kendall came to his side and wiped off the sweat on his face with the tissue she had in hand.
Looking at the delicate beauty in front of him, Dylan softened his gaze and lowered his head to make it easier for her to wipe his sweat.
"Dylan, you're so tall." After Kendall finished wiping Dylan's sweat, she proceeded to pat his chest. "Although I'm considered tall as a woman, I look so frail and helpless standing beside you. Plus, your chest is so firm." He was the perfect ten for her. She then took two steps back and further observed him. "Yup, graceful and handsome. Definitely a sight to behold."
Dylan then asked impishly, "Satisfied?"
Deliberately placing one of her hands on Dylan's shoulder, Kendall slapped his chest lightly twice while smiling. "Definitely looks good." She gave a witty remark. After all, one could look at it in another way—that he only looked good.
Regrettably, Dylan took what Kendall meant the other way. He reached his hand out and pinched her face without any explanation before he said indifferently, "Can you help me get the wheelchair over here?"
Kendall immediately went over and pushed his wheelchair over. She then helped him over to his wheelchair before she wheeled him into the house.
Meanwhile, upstairs on the balcony on the highest floor in the main house. Tilly—who was wearing her presbyopic glasses—stood by the railing as she kept her gaze fixed in one particular direction for a very long time. Tilly remained standing here watching over Dylan the entire duration he was doing his physical rehabilitation; she was quietly accompanying her beloved grandson during his rehabilitation in her own way.
"Grandma." Alice came over before she said gently, "It's late, Grandma. You should go downstairs and rest now." However, when Tilly remained silent, Alice followed her grandmother's gaze, only to see a few vague figures moving about. "Grandma, Dylan is done with his rehabilitation."
Although Alice couldn't clearly see the figures of her brother as well as her sister-in-law, she knew that her grandmother had been watching over her brother in his rehabilitation. Although the place where her brother was going through his physical rehabilitation was temporarily closed off, it was still open air. Hence, her grandmother had chosen to stand in such a high area, so that she could catch a glimpse of her brother.
Truth be told, with how far the distance was, Tilly could only make out the vague figure of Dylan even though she was wearing her presbyopic glasses. Nevertheless, even though she couldn't see Dylan clearly, she still liked to stand here silently watching over him.
Tia had told Alice that Tilly had been standing here for a few hours. Considering her grandmother's age as well as the fact that she had been standing for so long, Alice was worried that her grandmother would feel pain in her knees, which was why she quickly came up here to persuade her grandmother to come down.
"I'm only appreciating the beauty of the night scenery here. It's peaceful and tranquil, yet its beauty calms those that would look upon it." Tilly indirectly denied that she was watching her grandson go through his rehabilitation.
This prompted a smile from Alice. "There is a unique beauty to our home at all times. No matter the moment, it would always be peaceful and tranquil."
Due to how huge the place was, there was a certain distance between the various courtyards and rooms. Hence, even if someone was being noisy in a certain area, it would not reach the other places in their home.
Furthermore, the employees here were familiar with the rules and regulations of the Coleman Family. Thus, they would not be loud to maintain the peace and quiet of the Coleman Mansion. If there weren't people walking around often, one could easily mistakenly assume that it was an empty mansion.
Tilly held her hand out to her granddaughter. Fortunately, her granddaughter was around, as she felt slightly tired as she started walking.
"You must've been standing for a long time. I'll ask Steward to build and install a tall chair here tomorrow and to have an umbrella canopy set up here. This way, you'll be able to sit here and appreciate the view of our house."
Steward Carter was the head butler of the Coleman Mansion. He was in charge of all the other butlers and was also in charge of everything in the other courtyards.
Tilly agreed and said, "I want it with one of those outdoor benches and tables. That way, I can enjoy the view with drinks and food as well."
Smiling, Alice replied, "Then I'll draw up the design and bring it over to Steward tomorrow. So he'll know what to do." Although Alice studied design, she was best at architectural design. Nevertheless, she knew a thing or two about furniture designs as well.
"Ally."
"Yeah?"
"What do you think is good about Kendall Parker? How did she manage to calm Dylan's tantrum?"
Tilly had seen how Dylan threw a tantrum just a little while ago. Although she couldn't see the details clearly, she saw how Dylan was hitting his own legs violently. At the time, she felt anxious and was about to jump down from the top floor to be by his side. However, she chose to remain where she stood when she saw Kendall calming Dylan down.
Not knowing what Kendall did or said to Dylan, Tilly only knew that Kendall was able to calm Dylan down when he was throwing a tantrum. Reasonably speaking, she should be happy that someone could step in and calm her grandson down during one of his tantrums. However, that wasn't the case. Instead, she felt as though something precious to her was taken away from her and that her throne in his heart was overthrown by another.
To Tilly, Dylan was the grandchild that she had single-handedly raised. Although she had other grandchildren as well, Dylan and Alice were her favorites, as they were the ones by her side the longest. Perhaps it was due to Tilly personally raising Dylan, the lines between a mother and grandmother blurred for her, as her affection for Dylan knew no bounds. Nonetheless, that affection of hers was laced with a particularly strong desire for possessiveness.
"I don't know her well enough yet, so I don't know what's so good about her unfortunately. However, she is a straightforward person, and I do like interacting with her, as I do not need to worry about what she wants from me. She would never deliberately try to please me, and only treated me as any other ordinary girl." Alice was the only granddaughter of the Coleman Family; she was the pearl of the Coleman Family. Although she was the object of everyone's attention in Orapolis, she disliked being treated as such, which was why she felt that Kendall was a good person based on how Kendall did not deliberately try to please her.
Looking at Alice sideways, Tilly said, "Still, I do not like that woman."
"Grandma, are you still thinking of kicking her out the moment Dylan recovers? Since the two of them had already registered their marriage certificate, Dylan will be furious if you kick Kendall out." Alice tensed at the thought of her brother's fury.
Tilly replied indifferently, "As the head of the Coleman Family, your brother must not spare his attention on a woman like that. He must be ruthless and cold-blooded in order to be at the top of the business industry, and to lead Coleman Empire Holdings to the top of the world."
