Dylan let out a loud and prolonged hum when he noticed that Kendall was unable to reply to his question.
Kendall immediately snapped back to her senses and promptly flattered, "In my heart, you are the best man in the world. You are capable in everything you do. You are one of a kind."
However, Dylan merely snorted at her flattery.
"Darling, I'm telling the truth."
"How true are your words?"
"They are as true as steel."
"How do I know if that steel is real?"
At once, Kendall was rendered speechless by his sharp retort.
"I have written you a love letter today."
She felt her scalp tingling when she heard his words. Although she knew that she was jumping from the frying pan and into the fire, she still took the initiative to suggest, "Darling, I will write you a love letter too, okay?"
"I didn't ask you to do it." Regardless, the prideful Dylan refused to admit that he would love to receive a love letter from her.
When Kendall sensed the jealousy in his words had pretty much diminished, she breathed a sigh of relief as she smiled and said in a gentler tone, "It is me who wants to write a love letter to you. No amount of words can ever describe my love for you. How about this? I will write you a love letter every week from now on, and I will keep writing until your hands are cramped from receiving them."
"I wonder who was the one who said she would send me gifts to the point my hands are cramped from receiving the gifts back then?" She has not prepared any gifts for me recently. Since I am used to receiving gifts from her, now that she did not give me any presents, I'm unused to the sudden lack of it.
When Kendall heard his complaint, she stammered, "B-But I have given you all of my valuable treasures." I had given him the several horoscopes statues that I brought with me when I got married into the Coleman Family. Not only that, I even gave him the wire dragon sculpture. Now that I am busy again, I really don't have any time to spare to make small gifts for him by myself.
"Wash yourself up well and wait for me on the bed tonight. I will reward you with something else to make up for today's gift."
The ambiguous tone in Kendall's words made Dylan's heart palpitate for a while. As husband and wife, we only had s*x for once. In fact, the night was way too dark when we first had s*x, and since it was our first time, we could not enjoy it much. I have long thought about it, but I held my desire back, thinking she still needed time to rest and recover her body.
"Which day have I not waited for you in bed?"
Kendall giggled, "I know you are the best! Besides my parents, the person whom I love the most in my life is you! I love you so much that I'll even prioritize you over our future children."
"You sure know how to cheer me up with flattery."
"What's the matter? Do you not like it? I cannot even hear you sweet talk me even if I want to." Dylan is used to being cold. Although he would occasionally say loving words to me, he would not express them as sweetly as others. Other ladies would probably be bored to death by now, but not me. I am someone who is easily satisfied. Honestly, I am not expecting too much from Dylan since it is already very rare for a man like him to be willing to write a love letter for me.
After he heard her, he remained silent for a while before saying, "Go ahead and get back to work. I'll be in a meeting soon, and I also have to attend a dinner party in the evening. So, I cannot send you to class. You ought to be more careful."
"Okay, Dylan. I will let you get back to your work. What a pity that I cannot accompany you to the dinner party."
Dylan let out a low chuckle. "Such a foodie you are. Fret not, for you have plenty more opportunities to attend dinner parties with me in the future." I have not attended a dinner party for a long time, and I am now socializing with people again, not just for business needs but also because of Kendall.
"Here! Let me give you a kiss," Kendall said coquettishly to the man over the phone. Shortly after, she made a loud lip-smacking sound on the phone.
Dylan's face beamed with joy.
After they ended the call, he was instantly full of drive and motivation to finish up his work for the day.
As for Kendall, she immediately replied to her best friend's text, 'Amy, Dylan is too busy, so he cannot spare his time, but I can. Also, Dylan cares about me, so he requested Ronnie to follow me and protect me. From what I think, he just worries too much. With my combat skills, ordinary thugs are not my opponents.'
Presently, she was still unsure whether Amelia had other thoughts or feelings about Ronnie. Nonetheless, she still needed to find a plausible reason to bring Ronnie along in order to not prevent Amelia from discovering that she was playing matchmaker.
Since Kendall felt that her life was fulfilled and every day was joyful, she also hoped that the people around her could also be as happy as she was.
Amelia smiled and said, "I am very much content to hear Master Dylan is willing to let you have dinner with me." What a domineering man! I cannot believe that he would even get jealous of me. Right now, I am delighted that I am a woman. If I were a man, I would probably be warned to keep a distance of three meters away from Kendall.
"Then, I'll meet you at our usual place?"
"Sure. See you then."
…
Meanwhile, in Goldlake Villa area, a car slowly drove into a manor. As soon as the vehicle stopped, Jackson got out of the car with a stern and gloomy-looking face.
Soon, he pulled Kelly out of the car as well.
"Mr. Whittle. Miss Parker," Amy, the maid, immediately greeted them.
"No one can enter the house without my permission!" After he instructed Amy, Jackson immediately dragged Kelly into the house.
As for Amy, she looked at their back silhouettes in bewilderment.
Jackson dragged Kelly into the house, pulled her to the couch, and pushed her to sit on the couch. However, he did remember that Kelly was pregnant. Therefore, he ensured his actions would not hurt her, even if they were harsh. In the meantime, Kelly looked like this was the norm—not the slightest hint of apprehension could be seen on her face.
Jackson wanted to reprimand her when he saw that she was giving him such an attitude, yet he found himself tongue-tied. In the end, he could only pace around the living room.
He continued to pace back and forth for several minutes before suddenly turning around and returning to Kelly's side. Then, he squatted down, grabbed her hand with both hands, and said seriously, "Kelly, trust me, okay? Everything that I do now—I am doing them all for our bright future. Do not kid around using our child ever again. This is our child. You love me, and I love you too, so this child is the product of our love."
Unfortunately, Kelly shook off his hand and sneered when she heard his declaration, "Product of love? You have no right to mention anything about the product of love! You let me conceive your child, yet you want to marry another woman! Jackson, I can't stand such humiliation! Also, I cannot let this child affect my future. Because of you and this child, I have made my parents more and more disappointed in me. Kendall wished for me to give birth to this child so badly. In fact, she was the one who informed my parents about my pregnancy. She is now the Young Mistress of the Coleman Family. It is easy for her to learn about other people's secrets. Jackson, I am jealous. I am envious. I hate her! How is it possible that Kendall, a bumpkin, can rise so high in the social ladders and live better than me?!"
Once again, Jackson held her hand tightly and said helplessly, "Kelly, this is only temporary. It is really just temporary. You trust me, so you must believe in yourself too. We all know Kendall's true capability. She only gets to live so well simply because she rode Master Dylan's coattails. When Master Dylan is sick of her, not only will he not hold us accountable, but he would be grateful that we helped him deal with her even if we tear her to pieces."
Kelly replied agitatedly, "Master Dylan only treats her better and better as days pass now. How can he be tired of her? I am really annoyed. Do you know that Kendall wants to kick Cameron, my most trusted secretary, out of Parker Corporation? I have always thought that it would be easy for me to get hold of her, but reality seemed to tell me otherwise. My Dad still thinks I cannot retain my composure and is disappointed with me."
Whenever Kelly brought up the topic of her losing to Kendall, her facial expression would twist in hatred.
Finally, she added resentfully, "If I am to keep this child, my Dad will only rely more and more on Kendall at work and despise me. Actually, he may even transfer me away from the headquarters. I cannot let that happen. I have finally achieved my goals and worked hard to obtain the social standing that I have today, so I cannot admit defeat. I will never surrender everything I have to Kendall submissively!"
