"Kelly also said Master Dylan treats that bumpkin nicely, as if he's protecting her. She does not deserve that treatment!" Yasmine said coldly, "Just wait for it. Kendall must not come to the Zorn Mansion with Kelly; otherwise, she'll suffer!"
I had already figured out how to treat Kendall.
I want to see if Master Dylan really helps her!
Kendall attempted suicide before him to reject the marriage, which seriously hurt his self-esteem as a cold-hearted person. If Master Dylan really helps her, then pigs will fly too.
Laura said with a smile, "Maybe I should pity Ms. Parker. The other day, she was here buying a dress for your birthday party on Saturday night. Alright, Yasmine. Let's not talk about those sad things anymore. You should try the dresses and see if there's any problem."
Laura quickly changed the subject.
She must be discrete if she wanted to have a pawn to do her bidding.
She couldn't pinpoint the importance of Kendall to Dylan. So, she used Yasmine to merely test Dylan's limit.
Yasmine did not want to be affected by a bumpkin.
Hence, she took the dress into the fitting room.
After changing into the dress, Laura applauded as soon as Yasmine came out of the fitting room. Laura then praised, "Yasmine, your taste is top-notch, and the dress you picked really suits you. It was like watching a fairy emerge as you came out of the fitting room."
Yasmine enjoyed Laura's praise.
"Laura, do you think I'll attract Master Dylan with this dress?"
Yasmine looked in the mirror and admired her noble and beautiful dress. She was tall and pretty, and her beauty ascended as she wore the dress.
Laura withdrew her smile and sighed. "Yasmine, there's no use even if you attract Dylan. He's… Even if you are willing to marry him, your family won't agree to it."
The Zorn Family recognized Dylan's value and hinted that they should be married before his accident. However, Dylan didn't respond to it and alienated Yasmine.
Yasmine's mood turned dark when she heard that.
She loved Dylan so much.
However, Dylan was… Even if she still loved Dylan, she couldn't convince herself to marry him regardless.
"Yasmine, I want to see you put on other dresses."
Laura changed the topic because she did not want to continue thinking about that sad topic.
Yasmine hummed and quickly put her bad mood behind her with Laura's praise.
…
When Kendall got home, she first entered her room and rummaged through the boxes.
Dylan followed her in and coldly watched her rummaging.
After a while, she found an iron box.
"I've found it!" Kendall smiled. "Took me long enough."
Dylan was uninterested in it.
He watched her wipe the tin box with a tissue and hand it to him.
"Dylan, this is a present for you."
Dylan moved his thin lips and asked, "What is it?"
Kendal smiled in response. "You should open the gift for yourself when you receive it. This way, you will be surprised. You wouldn't get any surprise if one told you beforehand."
Dylan was not in a hurry to open the iron box and he stared at her instead. He then said coldly, "Do you think you can get away from it if you give me a worthless box? Tell me, why is Frank bugging you?"
"I just bumped into him and grabbed his tie when I was about to fall. Apparently, I almost strangled him. I didn't apologize to him, so he kept bugging me for an apology."
"Kendall, there's no happy ending for someone who lies to me."
Kendall shrank back at that. "Dylan, I'm telling the truth. You can investigate it if you don't believe me. With your ability, you can find out the truth in minutes. If the results don't convince you, there's only one explanation left."
"That he fell in love with you at first sight?"
Kendall smiled. "So you agree with what I said before, don't you, Dylan?"
She touched her face, straightened her back and untied her hair. Then, she fluttered her hair with charm.
Dylan stared at her while pursing his thin lips into a straight line.
"By the way, thank you."
"Whatever for?"
She somehow thanked him.
Dylan thought that the more he knew Kendall, the harder it was to guess what she was thinking. To think that he thought she was just a naïve bumpkin.
"It's about the love letter you gave me through Mr. Miller."
Dylan was speechless for a moment before he answered, "That's not a love letter! I will never write a love letter, let alone write it to you!"
"Sure."
Kendall, on the other hand, was not disappointed and was still cheerful. "I didn't expect you to write me a love letter either."
Upon seeing that Kendall was not even the least bit angry, Dylan could feel his expression turn even more icy.
After a long while, he lowered his head and opened the iron box.
Inside the box was a wire dragon sculpture.
He was amazed when he saw this hand-woven wire dragon sculpture.
After getting the two little mice from Kendall, he knew she was skillful. Despite that, he was still surprised by her skill.
"In the past when I was bored, I would weave some crafts and sell them on Amazon. My monthly income was several thousand, and it could exceed 10,000 when I'm lucky," Kendall explained. "I didn't manage to list it on Amazon after I had woven the dragon since I had returned to the Parker Family. So, I put it in an iron box and it never had a chance to see the light. Now, I am giving it as a present to you. Dylan, you're a soaring dragon in my heart."
Dylan picked up the wire dragon sculpture and looked at it for a long time before putting it back in the box. He said in a light tone, "Kendall, you're the best at flattering."
"Come on, Dylan. You're being biased! What I said was true, and you discredit it as flattery."
After closing the box, Dylan signaled Kendall to push him out.
When Kendall pushed him, he said coldly, "There must be a phoenix to pair with the dragon. You have to make me a phoenix."
Kendall paused for a beat before she muttered, "Dylan, give me some time. It isn't easy to weave these sculptures. It's not as simple as ABC."
"I didn't ask you to give me now. You have some stock, right?"
"Yes, but I left them to Nell. My art training institution and Amazon store are taken care of by him. I didn't take many things with me."
Dylan said with dominance, "Let Nelson deliver all of your remaining stock to here!"
Everything she made must be mine, not Nelson's!
Although they are siblings, they're not related by blood.
I don't like her being too close to Nelson Woods.
