Love Knows No Bounds novel (Kendall and Dylan) novel Chapter 227

Kendall scratched her head and replied with a shy smile, "Alice, you'll break my neck by flattering me so hard."

"I'm just telling the truth."

"When I become a great woman for real, I'll give you a nice gift and treat you to dinner."

"Well, I don't really need those. How about… You know what, I'll take you up on your offer," Alice replied. She had wanted to say that she would want an adorable niece or nephew to play with, but she corrected herself in the nick of time after recalling her brother's condition.

The two ladies were having a great time chatting along.

After checking the time, Amos walked toward them and reminded Kendall, "Young Mistress Kendall, Young Master Dylan should be up by now. You should head back and have breakfast with him." Both she and Dylan had to go to work, after all.

"Already?" Kendall felt like she had just arrived not long ago, and now it was time for her to leave. After taking out her cell phone to check the time, she immediately shoved the cat in her arms into Alice's in her haste. Due to the sudden movement, the cat stretched out its paw toward the white rabbit out of reflex.

Alice released her grip on the white rabbit, which caused it to jump onto the ground after it hopped away. The person in charge of looking after the pets hurriedly came over and picked it up before putting it back into its cage.

Kendall said, "Alice, I gotta go first. Let's chat again on the weekend." Which is soon. Just another day of work and it's the weekend. Time sure flies when one is busy.

Ten minutes later, the rain had let up outside the pavilion. A hearty breakfast was served on the stone table under the pavilion as usual.

Kendall had to leave for work earlier than Dylan, so she ate more quickly than he did. Luckily, her table manners were not bad. Whenever he saw her eating with great relish, he would have a good appetite. However, his appetite would be gone the moment she finished eating and left.

"I'm going to sign the contract with Mr. Dawson today. So, let's celebrate it after that. I'll treat you to lunch at noon."

Dylan did not turn her down. "Okay."

The announcement from last night did not seem to cause any changes for the young couple.

Meanwhile, Fergus said to his wife next to him as they watched from afar, "Did you see it, darling? Our son is so relaxed and is in such a good mood when he's with Kendall. As parents, we only wish the best for our children. As long as Dylan thinks that Kendall is good for him, we shouldn't be meddling in their affairs. Dylan won't allow us to do that either; he has a mind of his own and knows how to behave."

Emily did not say a word. She was angry that Kendall held such a special place in her son's heart. Although she did not raise Dylan up herself, she had given birth to him nonetheless, so he had been quite filial to her. However, just last night, he did not hesitate to talk back to her for Kendall's sake. She already disliked Kendall in the first place. At this moment, she was treating Kendall as a thorn in her flesh who stole her dear son from her.

"Mom has told us to ask Mr. and Mrs. Parker to come over for a visit to discuss their wedding." Fergus let out a sigh. "However dissatisfied you are, Dylan and Kendall have gotten their marriage certificates. Mom has approved of them, and we've become relatives by marriage with the Parkers. Isn't this the plan that you and Mom had worked out back then?"

Emily curled her lips and replied, "Things are different now."

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. Isn't it fine as long as the kids are doing well?"

Emily muttered, "If my son hadn't been like that, Kendall wouldn't have been worthy of Dylan." With that, she turned around and walked back.

Kendall was unaware that her in-laws had been watching her from afar. After eating her fill, she hurried to work. Since she had made a trip to Pet Palace, she did not manage to prepare a gift for Dylan, so she had no choice but to promise him to give him the gift that night.

By the time she was heading out for work, the rain had stopped and Henry chauffeured her as usual.

After they traveled on for about ten minutes, the car came to a stop as there was a car blocking their way at the intersection ahead.

Once they moved past the intersection, they would find themselves in heavy traffic due to it being the city's main road. However, the car was blocking their way on purpose. It was parked horizontally, with several luxury cars parked at the curb nearby.

Staring at the car that blocked their way, Henry informed, "Young Mistress Kendall, these cars seem to belong to the bodyguards of the head of the Mendelson Family." Being sworn enemies, Frank and Dylan were so familiar with each other that they recognized the faces of their bodyguards.

Frank? Kendall knitted her brows. What is he up to?

"Please stay in the car. I'll get out and deal with them," Henry said. With that, he opened the car door and was about to get out of the car.

"Be careful, Mr. Fisher. Don't do it the hard way," Kendall urged when he was still within earshot. Frank was in one of the luxury cars. He usually came and went with several bodyguards, whereas Henry was alone. So, obviously Henry was no match for the Mendelson Family's bodyguards.

"I know." Henry strode toward the cars. He first went up to the car that blocked their way and knocked on the car window. After the car window was lowered, he maintained his composure and reminded the driver in a gentle voice, saying, "Sir, please move aside. Your car is blocking the way."

The Mendelson Family's bodyguard replied coldly, "How does that have anything to do with you? We're not at the entrance of your house, so what makes you have the right to ask me to move the car?"

Henry put up with it and replied good-naturedly as usual, "Sir, the Coleman Family paid to build the road from this intersection to the entrance of the Coleman Residence. One can say that you're parking your car on the road built by the Colemans."

However, the Mendelson Family's bodyguard left no room for negotiation as he said arrogantly, "So what? Tell the Colemans to collect the parking fee from me then."

Henry was so angry that he wanted to punch the bodyguard in the face.

Kendall stayed in the car and watched for a while. Seeing that Henry was unable to persuade the bodyguard into moving his car aside, she had no choice but to get out of the car. As soon as she did so, Frank got out of his car as well.

The man looked really attractive in his suit with his tall figure and handsome features. In Kendall's eyes, however, this guy was loathsome.

Instead of backing away, she walked toward him.

Frank came over as well.

When the cocky bodyguard saw Frank come over, he immediately got out of his car and stood aside with a respectful expression. "Master."

Kendall watched Frank walk up to her before stopping in his tracks. She found herself almost trapped in his deep eyes as she looked at them. This guy really never goes away. "President Mendelson, your bodyguard's car is obstructing my way. Please tell him to move his car aside. I'm in a hurry to go to work." She decided to play nice.

Frank stared long and hard at her for a few minutes. Then, he replied in a deep voice, "Let me give you a ride instead. My car is just over there."

"Thanks, but it's not necessary. I have a chauffeur," Kendall refused without thinking.

Frank shot a glance at his bodyguard.

The bodyguard who was standing by his side took notice of his silent order and made a move toward Henry. Realizing that something was amiss, Kendall cried out, "Watch out, Mr. Fisher!"

But, it was too late. The bodyguard knocked Henry out with a blow to the back of his neck.

Angered, Kendall took a few steps forward and kicked the bodyguard.

On the other hand, the Mendelson Family's bodyguard dared not touch her, knowing that Frank treated her specially and had a particular regard for her. Therefore, the bodyguard took a pratfall after being kicked by her.

Kendall had wanted to give him a few more kicks, but a large hand reached out and grabbed her wrist before yanking her backward. Before she could see who it was, she fell into an unfamiliar embrace.
