"Darling!" Adam called out to Charlotte. When she looked at him, he warmly said, "The Woods Family raised Kendall for us, so we can't forcefully prevent her from interacting with them. Kelly stayed with us for twenty years, so it is difficult for her to accept the Woods Family. Don't ask too much of her. I know you are doubting Kelly after what she said. To be honest, I am too. However, we raised her together and she is the successor that we cultivated. Before Kendall has the skill to be a successor, we must treat Kelly as usual and let her support Kendall."
Charlotte pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to think badly of Kelly either. However, I couldn't control myself. She doesn't really treat Kendall well and just puts on an act before us. Although her birth mother was involved in an accident, she didn't even visit her. She only went there after I made a call. It was obvious that she was acting before me earlier. Adam, although I have treated Kelly as my daughter for twenty years, I don't understand her now."
Charlotte supported and encouraged Kendall to be with Jackson as Kendall loved him. So, Kendall offended Dylan because she was chasing after her true love.
However, Dylan said Kendall forced him to marry her.
I can't even figure out what was happening in my birth daughter's mind!
No matter what, Charlotte still thought that it was Kelly's fault.
"Kelly was too busy working for us and grew up in our family, so she always thought of herself as our birth daughter. It is difficult for her to accept that she's actually the daughter of the Woods Family. It is normal to have no feelings for her birth mother." Adam was speaking for Kelly. "Remember how Kendall treated us when she just returned to us? Don't think badly of Kelly just because of this. As for Kendall and Jackson, Kelly can compensate for Kendall and let go of Jackson."
Charlotte snorted upon hearing that. "You're busy and focused only on the company daily, so you didn't notice the way your daughters get along with each other. Kendall had been careful with Kelly since she returned to us. I'm convinced that Kelly is up to no good."
As Charlotte felt in favor of her birth daughter, she felt Kelly was scheming the more she looked at Kelly.
"Okay, don't think about it anymore. If the children find out, you'll hurt their feelings. I'll go to work now."
Adam was still relying on Kelly, so he did not like to hear his wife talking bad about Kelly.
He then got up and picked up his coat, thereafter leaving.
Then, Charlotte saw him off.
"Did Kendall tell you that Master Dylan allows her to work?"
Adam asked as he walked.
"She didn't say that. I'll ask her during lunchtime. Do you want to come back for lunch? Tell me now so I can prepare for it."
After thinking about it, Adam answered, "I have an important lunch with other parties today, so I won't be back. Although Kendall is a part of the Coleman Family, she is still our daughter. I don't think Master Dylan will stop her from returning here. We will have another chance to dine together."
However, Charlotte was worried.
Kendall is trapped in the Coleman Family, which has many rules and regulations. If Master Dylan tells the elders about Kendall, will she still have a good time? I must ask her about it when she returns.
At the same time, after Robbie helped Dylan into the car, Robbie immediately took the gift that Kendall entrusted him. He then handed it to Dylan respectfully.
"Young Master Dylan, this is a gift prepared by Young Mistress Kendall for you."
It was a big envelope.
Dylan took the big envelope.
It was light and didn't weigh much. So, he assumed the thing inside it would be worthless.
She prepared gifts for him daily, but all of those were worthless.
I wonder what she gave to Jackson.
Dylan opened the envelope and took out a love card from it. It was a homemade love card.
Two hearts were next to each other and connected with Cupid's arrow. The card's background color was warm, making it look utterly cozy.
A few lines of words were written in the blank space.
To Dylan, my dear husband. I love you so much!
I hope to stand shoulder to shoulder with you to watch the sunrise and sunset until we grow old together.
After those sentences, red lips were drawn to express kissing.
After reading the content, Dylan felt it was too monotonous. He flipped through the back of the card and found a rose made of red cardboard.
Adam was still relying on Kelly, so he did not like to hear his wife talking bad about Kelly.
Is that it?
Dylan put the self-made love card back into the envelope after he had read it twice.
Then, he pressed the button to lower the window and looked at the world outside.
Standing shoulder to shoulder?
Watching the sunrise and sunset?
I'm in a wheelchair now; I can't stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
Kendall was shamelessly hiding her true meaning in the love letter—it was for him to stand up.
Then, Dylan took out his cell phone and called Kendall.
"Dylan." Kendall's sweet voice came through the phone, and the cold expression on Dylan's face softened. "Dylan, did you see the present I have prepared for you? Do you like it?"
"Have you sent these things to Jackson before?"
Dylan asked coldly to cover up his hidden thoughts.
Stunned, Kendall answered instinctively, "No. I was afraid Jackson won't like something cheap, so—"
Kendall quickly shut up.
What did I say?!
I gave something cheap to Dylan but not Jackson! With Dylan's pettiness and erratic behavior, he will surely immediately hang up the call and reprimand me.
True enough, Dylan's expression sank and he said coldly, "Kendall, you are treating me as a garbage collection station, are you?"
"No, Dylan. Those little gifts are made by myself, and it is different from what I gave to Jackson, all of which were bought. Something handmade is filled with my love compared to buying it from a store. S-So, don't be angry. Don't be mad, alright? The face you make when you're mad is scary—"
Dylan cut off the call.
There was a difference between bought and handmade goods.
However, he was still angry.
He thought that Kendall was skimping on him.
After Dylan hung up the call, he took out the love card Kendall gave him, rolled down the window, and threw the card out.
The card was blown far away.
One of the bodyguard cars behind Dylan stopped.
Then, Blake opened the door and quickly ran to the love card that had fallen on the ground. He bent over to pick up the card and hurriedly returned to the car.
