It seemed like Kendall preferred a hot breakfast or noodles and such, and he had seen her enjoying those for breakfast countless times.
Even after she became the Young Mistress of the Coleman Family, her daily habits and likes didn't change despite the change in her status.
Dylan had said that she didn't have to mask herself since he had already seen her violent side.
Just then, Kelly walked in and flashed Charlotte a sweet smile accompanied by an even sweeter greeting, "Good morning, Mom."
Charlotte acknowledged it nonchalantly, and when her gaze brushed past Kelly, the delighted expression she had because of the return of her biological daughter immediately slipped off her face.
However, she didn't say anything because Kelly had declared that she would take care of her own affairs, and they didn't have to worry about her.
Whatever, Charlotte thought. At the end of the day, she's not our biological daughter, and if she wants us to stay out of it, then we'll stay out of it. After this, I should just focus on my real daughter, she consoled herself. When she didn't look at Kelly, she was able to take things better.
"Where's Kendall?"
Kelly pretended not to know that Kendall was cooking in the kitchen as she asked her parents with a smile before sliding into a seat next to Charlotte.
As she did so, she accidentally caught sight of Dylan across from her and saw him sitting there like an ice sculpture with a stoic expression. Despite that, he was still incredibly gorgeous.
As though he had sensed her gaze on him, he abruptly turned and looked in her direction, and his icy and piercing eyes startled her so much that she quickly averted her gaze, not daring to meet his eyes anymore.
Kelly was terrified of him, and he knew about it.
Once, Kendall even suspected that Kelly was suffering from a traumatic experience after she failed to seduce him in bed.
That made him so mad that he didn't even know where to begin his argument.
"Kendall said that she would like to have a hot breakfast."
The one who answered her was Adam, who turned to his son-in-law with a smile. He wanted to invite Dylan for breakfast, but earlier, he said that he had already eaten at home, yet he took a seat in front of them.
In his heart, Adam felt that he was about to go nuts. Now it made sense why Kendall cried so many times after discovering that she was forced to marry Dylan.
Simply because Dylan was a really tough person to get along with.
Even though he didn't want to eat, he still sat in front of them, making them feel uneasy as they ate.
"Dylan, I made too much food. Will you finish half of it for me?"
There was no doubt that the person who saved the Parkers from their unease was Kendall, and she left the kitchen with two plates of hot, fresh food, placing one of them in front of Dylan.
All three Parkers turned their eyes at him simultaneously.
The hot breakfast Kendall prepared was scrumptious, and just the look of it was mouthwatering.
"Don't cook so much if you can't eat so much."
Despite appearing as though he was complaining about his wife for making too much food, his hand didn't stop moving, picking up the fork and starting to eat.
His table manners were very gentlemanly, and watching him eat was a type of enjoyment that could easily lure out a person's gluttonous side.
Even though he was just having a simple plate of English breakfast, he looked like he was enjoying some delicacy.
When Kendall saw that he started eating after a minor complaint, she smirked and started on her breakfast as well.
The couple ate with so much relish that Adam couldn't help but swallow his saliva at the sight. He had tried his daughter's cooking a few times before, and they were delicious.
She only knows to prepare a portion for her husband but not for me, her father. My dear daughter, your husband is the only one in your heart after you married him, Adam grumbled silently in his heart while he ate the cold breakfast his elder daughter had prepared.
"Ugh!"
After Kelly had just finished a glass of milk, she retched again and immediately dashed for the bathroom. Those series of actions made Charlotte's face turn dark.
"Have some water, Dylan." Kendall poured two glasses of water and passed one to him, saying, "Your breakfast is usually simple and nutritious. I'm so sorry you have to help me with my food today."
Although her cooking was delicious, it tended to be a little oily. Of course, she was used to it, but she still worried that Dylan might not be used to food like this so early in the day.
When they noticed how considerate their daughter was toward her husband, the Parkers gave each other a look and didn't know what to think.
"Mom, about Kelly's pregnancy… Will she keep the baby or abort it? What is the Whittle Family's stance on this?" Kendall asked, even though she knew what was happening.
She broached this sore subject mainly because she wanted to know if her parents were as disappointed in Kelly as she wished after discovering that she was pregnant out of wedlock.
Charlotte snorted coldly. "She will take care of her own affairs. Since we're not her real parents, we don't have the right to be involved in her affairs. It's up to her whether she would like to keep or abort it, and whether or not the Whittle Family answers is also her own business."
Clearly, they were utterly disappointed in Kelly.
"What a waste of all the love I showered on her. She just… It remains a fact that she's not my biological daughter," Charlotte lamented sadly.
"Mom." Kendall got up and took a seat next to her, consoling, "Don't be mad. Kelly has a point. Everyone involved is already an adult who can bear the consequences. Since she can take care of it herself, just let her handle it. Save your worries, and you can live a happier and easier life."
Charlotte gazed at her biological daughter and knew that she would be elated if Kendall were the one who was pregnant. Unfortunately…
She sighed heavily and patted Kendall's hand gently, saying, "I know that. It's getting late and about time for you and Dylan to go to work. In the future, you don't have to come over so early in the day when you're busy with your career. It breaks my heart to see you work yourself to the bone. If you're free on weekends, come and visit us. Otherwise, the weather is hot now, and you have no reason to come here and get caught in the heatwave."
Kendall and Dylan responded warmly to Charlotte's advice and chatted a little longer with them.
As they conversed happily, it didn't take Kendall long to realize that Kelly was still stuck in the bathroom, and she reckoned that things were progressing as she wanted. In addition, she had already thrown her sarcastic remarks at Kelly. Hence, she left the Parker Residence with Dylan, exhilarated by the success of her revenge and her mother's loving advice.
Charlotte stood at the villa's entrance and watched as a group of luxurious cars left in a magnificent but low-key manner.
"If Kendall had married a regular man, I could've visited her every day, but she married into the Coleman Family instead… Until now, the Colemans haven't said anything yet. Adam, our daughter's life in the Coleman Family will be challenging."
Charlotte's heart was filled with worry because a marriage that wasn't approved was destined to be turbulent in the days after the marriage. Although Dylan had made an official announcement, there was still no reaction from the Coleman elders, and they didn't even make any arrangements to meet the couple.
"Kendall had chosen this path herself," Adam said in a low voice. "Take it easy. It will get better. Dylan is protective of her, and she's also putting in an effort. I believe that one day, the entire Coleman household will love our daughter." Then, he paused and added, "I'm going to work, too."
"In the company, take more care of Kendall. She started too late, and I wonder how long it will take her to be as independent as Kelly. Kelly is… Sigh, let's not bother about her. She has her own parents to worry about her."
Adam placed an arm around her shoulders, and the couple walked toward the garage together.
"Kendall is much smarter than we think. She picks things up quickly and has excellent memory. Give her some time, and she'll be able to handle situations independently. As for Kelly, if she decides to give birth to that bastard in her womb, I'm planning to transfer her to the branch office in Albarife so she can manage the branch and give birth there."
