"Somehow I feel that being your wife is very stressful, Dylan," Kendall said.
"Don't be bothered by them. They can't do anything to you as long as I am around. If they make things difficult for you, we can just move out. I have a lot of properties available."
Kendall's heart warmed when she heard that.
For a married woman, her in-laws' attitude toward her was determined by her husband's attitude.
As long as her husband was on her side, the in-laws wouldn't dare to go too far as well.
That was exactly what Kendall enjoyed now. Dylan was always on her side. Even Tilly couldn't do anything to Kendall when the latter did not follow the Coleman Family's rules.
This was her husband's attitude.
Even though Tilly and Kendall's mother-in-law were displeased, they could not change anything.
"Dylan, did your mother previously send someone to follow me?"
After a brief moment of silence, Dylan answered, "Yes. But after my dad stopped her, she did not do it again. I will not allow her to do it again as well."
"Did anyone else follow me besides those under your mom's instruction? Frank's men, for example?"
Dylan turned his head to look at her, saying, "You have asked Ronnie the same question before, and he had answered you."
"So Frank really didn't do it? That all of his encounters with me were purely coincidental? Or did he trail Amelia?"
But in fact, Kendall was secretly taken aback by how well Dylan knew everything about her.
Luckily, she was his wife and not his adversary during this lifetime.
Otherwise, with such an adversary, she would die without knowing what happened.
And it was no surprise that everyone in Orapolis feared Dylan Coleman. He could truly know anything he desired to know.
"I'll send someone to keep an eye on him. He's not going to have any more such coincidences," Dylan coldly replied.
"His men are skilled, Dylan. Ask your guys to be cautious."
"Well, they'll just fight them if they find out," he responded fearlessly.
Truth was, his men and Frank's men frequently clashed.
Frank and Dylan were competing in business terms, while their bodyguards were literally fighting each other privately.
That was how their bodyguards gained their practical experiences.
"You're so domineering, Dylan! I love it!"
"Not as domineering as you are, of course. You're the only person in my life who dares to tear off my shirt, leave a mark on my body, and arrogantly say you're taking me as your husband," he ironically replied.
Kendall laughed at that. "That was in the past, Dylan! It's surprising that you still remember it all."
His memory is really good.
"Everything you did to me is fresh in my mind. If you dare to betray me in the future, I'll count our scores one by one."
To that, Kendall fawningly responded, "Don't worry, Dylan. That will never happen. I'm a responsible person. Since you're mine now, I'll definitely be responsible for you for the rest of our lives. I will never abandon you!"
There's no one better than me in Orapolis anyway, Dylan confidently thought.
Delicious breakfast was served on the stone top table beneath the pavilion.
Most of the food was Kendall's favorites.
Everyone in the kitchen knew now that their Young Master's meals needed to be changed to accommodate Young Mistress Kendall's preferences.
Hence, whenever both Dylan and Kendall ate together, the food was prepared to Kendall's liking.
Just as they were enjoying their food, Ronnie approached Dylan after receiving a call. "Young Master, Miss Evans is here," he said respectfully as he stood beside Dylan.
Evans? Laura Evans?
Kendall was alerted when she heard this name.
Laura was one of her love rivals.
And to be exact, Laura was one who competed with her in the dark.
Yasmine was another of Kendall's rivals, but at the very least, Yasmine was someone who expressed her feelings for Dylan publicly and openly despised Kendall. Kendall found her easier to deal with.
The tough nut to crack would be like Laura, who acted as Dylan's friend when facing Kendall.
"Why is she here?" Dylan questioned coldly.
At the same time, he placed some food on Kendall's plate as he noticed her slowing down.
His expression shifted to one of gentleness. "Eat more," he said.
"You too."
Kendall, too, placed some of Dylan's favorite food on his plate.
She was a natural foodie with a big appetite. Of course, she would eat more even without him saying so.
Whenever the two of them ate together, Kendall was always the one who ate the most.
Luckily, he did not dislike her for eating too much.
"Miss Evans said she had prepared two sets of summer clothes, and thus she's here to give the clothes to Young Mistress Kendall in light of the current hot weather."
What a good time to come over, eh? Kendall grumbled.
Dylan, on the other hand, merely let out a light hum and instructed, "Send someone to get the clothes from her."
"Noted."
Ronnie straightened up and turned to leave the pavilion.
Shortly after that, he appeared at the entrance of the mansion.
Laura was sitting in her car, waiting for the Coleman Mansion's gate to open for her.
In fact, she was a regular guest to the Colemans as all of the women in the house adored her designs.
It was just that she still had to report to the family whenever she arrived, and she had to wait until someone inside was willing to attend to her before she could enter.
The Colemans were the prominent family with the most cumbersome house rules.
But Laura truly envied those women who could freely enter the Coleman Mansion.
If she could marry into the Coleman Family, she was more than willing to follow whatever rules they had.
However, it was a pity that Dylan couldn't perform a husband's duty now, and he didn't love her. Laura, too, was unable to express her feelings for him.
When she saw Ronnie coming out, she got out of the car and took a few steps forward, waiting for him to approach her.
"Hello, Ronnie."
She smiled widely at him.
Dylan's bodyguards, especially Ronnie, had to be treated with respect.
He was Dylan's right-hand man, the one Dylan trusted the most.
"Miss Evans."
Despite being confronted with Laura's cheerful smile, Ronnie's composure remained unchanged. "Our Young Master instructed me to bring Young Mistress Kendall's clothes in," he said respectfully.
Laura's smile froze when she heard that.
"I'd like to personally deliver it to your Young Mistress Kendall and see if any changes are required."
"Young Master merely instructed me to take the clothes in, Miss Evans. I have no say in anything else."
Ronnie's unkind response annoyed Laura a little.
Dylan's man is just as obstinate as he is!
After a brief pause, Laura inquired, "Ronnie, is it that I arrived too early and disrupted his schedule?"
But I might not be able to see him if I am late!
"Young Master is having breakfast with Young Mistress Kendall. You indeed would interrupt him if you enter, Miss Evans,."
Laura was upset with what she heard, but she maintained her smile and continued, "Please contact Master Dylan and inform him that I would like to personally deliver the clothes to Kendall. If there is an issue with them, I will know how to fix it right away."
"Miss Laura, since you've sent the clothes here, they're deemed to be completed. If there's any further problem with them, you may not be able to deal with Young Master's anger," Ronnie replied bluntly.
Then, he added, "Furthermore, with your capability, I believe there won't be any issues with the clothes."
Laura had taken Kendall's measurements before. If there were any problems with the clothes, she would be destroying her own reputation.
All his words rendered Laura speechless.
How can Ronnie be this stubborn?!
