Dylan had a feeling that Kendall was running back into the room after she saw him.
He couldn't help the curling of the corners of his mouth into a smile.
Soon, he heard the door open.
"Dylan!"
The moment he heard the voice, he suddenly thought that his wife had a beautiful voice.
Dylan turned around and walked back into the room. Seeing her walking toward him, he asked with a smile, "Why don't you hang out with them for a little longer?"
"I came back since you've woken up. We will all hang out together later anyway."
Kendall then came over to help him back to the bed to sit down. After she carefully examined him, she concluded, "You are in good spirits. It seems that you didn't have any more dreams in the second half of the night. Let me go get your clothes."
She then started to leave, only to have Dylan pull her back. With his forceful tug while she was caught off-guard, she clumsily fell into his arms, and he swiftly threw his arms around her.
"For my wifey to jump into my arms so early in the morning, you must really like your husband, huh?"
Hearing that, Kendall fumed, You are the one who pulled me back!
Her eyes then shone as she playfully had a banter with him. "My husband is my favorite man. Hubby, is there a reward for me? How about you pamper me a little?"
After saying that, she made a move to kiss him.
He was looking forward to it, only for her to turn out to be teasing him. Right as he was full of hope, she suddenly let out a giggle as she slid out of his embrace and turned around to get him his clothes from the cloakroom. Her crisp voice then rang out. "Why is your cloakroom full of only dress shirts and suits? Don't you have anything else, Dylan?"
"I can't ride a horse now. Please grab me a shirt."
She followed his words and brought him a black short-sleeved shirt and black trousers.
It wasn't that she specifically chose black clothes for him; he only had black clothes.
"The clothes in your cloakroom are too boring. I will add a few more sets of clothes for you when we get back from the vacation."
"Okay." He chuckled good-naturedly.
"Do you only like the color black?"
"I will wear anything you give me, no matter the color."
Kendall's eyes met his, and a smile appeared on her face as well. "I am glad you said that."
After passing him the shirt, she asked thoughtfully, "Do you need my help with changing?"
"There's no need."
"I bet you are scared I will eat you up."
"You already did last night," he deadpanned.
"I want to relish the taste."
He glanced at her and reminded, "You said that you don't want it to affect your riding today."
That was why their consummation last night seemed to have gone by in a blur.
Kendall mumbled something under her breath, but he couldn't make out her words despite perking up his ears.
Ten minutes later, the couple both came to the first floor.
Dylan was still dressed in his usual black outfit.
Kendall, on the other hand, was wearing a black-and-white striped T-shirt with black cropped pants. Not one to like wearing high heels and definitely not sneakers on such a hot day, she opted for sandals instead.
It was such a simple outfit and yet, she looked ravishing in it to Dylan.
After all, beauty did lay in the eyes of the lover.
On the other hand, Amos thought that Kendall's get-up was too ordinary. She might have a good outlook, but what she had on did nothing to show off her identity as the young mistress of the Coleman Family.
However, Amos couldn't possibly say anything when even Dylan hadn't made a comment about it.
Young Master Dylan is bringing Young Mistress Kendall to the horse farm for horse riding. It is not like they are attending a banquet. Whatever floats Young Mistress Kendall's boat, I guess.
"Young Master Dylan, Young Mistress Kendall," Amos smilingly greeted them. "Breakfast is ready. It is at the gazebo."
"Where are Alice and Jane?" Kendall asked.
"They have returned to the main house to have breakfast with Old Madam Coleman. They will follow along once you both are ready."
Dylan hadn't been out to have fun even since his accident more than a year ago. None of the other young masters had successfully persuaded him to go out and take a breather.
However, Dylan was the one who took the initiative to invite everyone to go to the horse farm for horse-riding together this time around. Those who didn't have business to attend to would naturally follow along. As long as the other young masters did not go on business, they all followed. In a way, the trip today could be considered a grandiose one.
Kendall hummed in acknowledgement before she started moving Dylan out the building.
As they were passing by Amos, Dylan suddenly said, "Good job. Your bonus this month shall be doubled."
Amos immediately understood that Kendall was happy with the swing that he had someone install in the backyard.
His salary from working with the Colemans was by no means low. He could even compare with the top management of big companies. Still, no one ever complained about having money. Hearing that his bonus was to be doubled all of a sudden immediately brought a grin to Amos' face as he gave his gratitude. "Thank you, Young Master Dylan."
It seems like Young Mistress Kendall is gradually becoming more important to Young Master Dylan.
My bonus doubled just because I made Young Mistress Kendall happy!
Kendall didn't understand the conversation between Amos and Dylan, but neither did she ask about it.
Dylan would automatically let her know anything she needed to know without her asking.
Dylan soon added an instruction that made Kendall turn bright red upon hearing his words.
"Change my bedsheet into fresh ones."
Amos, who didn't know there was a surprise waiting for him, only respectfully acknowledged the instruction.
He went to the second floor after the couple went out.
As no one else was allowed to enter Dylan's bedroom without his permission, Amos usually was the one who cleaned up the room whenever it required cleaning.
When Amos was about to change the sheets, he was stunned when he saw the flower-like dried stain on the sheets.
He thought that Kendall woke up early to check on Dylan this morning when he saw her coming down from the second floor.
He wondered why he didn't consider the possibility that Kendall had spent the night in Dylan's room.
D-Does this mean that… Young Master Dylan can do it?!
Amos was taken aback at first, but joy soon took over his shock.
Young Master Dylan is fine!
Young Master Dylan is finally healed!
Amos' excitement made it seem as though Dylan was a completely impotent man who had suddenly been treated.
Young Mistress Kendall really is Young Master Dylan's lucky star!
Ever since Kendall came to the Coleman Mansion, Dylan had become more approachable, even though he was still cold and sometimes spat venomous words. Furthermore, he was willing to do rehabilitation and could even perform properly now. These were all thanks to Kendall.
Amos quietly swore then that he would worship Kendall like she was a goddess from now on.
Now that Dylan was fine and he had even done the deed with Kendall, Amos then wondered if Kendall would get pregnant in about a month's time.
Just the thought of there being a little young master or mistress made the old man erupt with joy.
Kendall had no idea that Amos would be so ecstatic. All she could think of was how embarrassing it was to have Amos change the sheets and see the evidence of their activity the night prior. She should have changed the sheets herself just now. It was her fault for not considering this earlier.
"Amos doesn't overstep lines. You don't have to feel embarrassed about it."
"Dylan…"
"Now that Amos knows, he will be our witness as well."
"Witness?" Kendall was smart enough to understand what he meant instantly. "Will they suspect me of infidelity if I get pregnant?"
"My grandmother and mother aren't satisfied with you. I am sure they will have their suspicions."
Dylan's mother had even hired people to tail Kendall.
It was obvious that they were trying to get evidence of Kendall 'cheating' and kick her out of the family with the evidence when Dylan regained his mobility.
