Love Knows No Bounds novel (Kendall and Dylan) novel Chapter 342


Yoseph recalled how she looked as she came up to him that morning while carrying a bundle of lotus flowers. He couldn't help smiling as he said, "Jane, you're the precious daughter of the Morris Family, so can't you be more mindful of your reputation? Aren't you scared that your future husband would find you too reckless? Also, Jane, we've known each other since we were young. No matter what, we've known each other for more than twenty years now, so who exactly is your fiance? Tell me, and I can judge if he's good enough for you."

If he knew who it was that would go on a blind date with Jane, he'd definitely tell that guy all the bad things about Jane so that the guy would back off. Then, that person wouldn't dare to marry Jane!

"Why? You want to figure out my date so that you can go and talk bad about me, ruining my reputation so that the person will hate me?"

Just as expected of childhood friends.

No matter what Yoseph was thinking, Jane could see through him clearly.

"I won't tell you, then. Think about it all you want."

"If you can get married, you won't come and trouble me anymore. I'll be over the moon, so why would I want to ruin it? Don't think so badly of me. Jane, just tell me, what's the man's last name?"

Jane was all smiles. "I've already said that I won't tell you, and you can guess however much you want. Just keep picking out the lotus seeds. I'll go downstairs for dinner. I quite like the delicacies in the buffet restaurant at your hotel."

Yoseph said triumphantly, "Of course, guess who's the one managing Dynasty? Dynasty became the famous hotel it is today because of both its excellent services and its amazing delicacies, conquering guests from all over the world."

Also, his elder brother had meals at Dynasty Hotel every day, and most people came for his elder brother, hoping that they could encounter Master Dylan someday.

As Jane stood up, she gave Dylan a thumbs up.

With a boss who was especially picky and especially skilled at cooking, the chefs at Dynasty Hotel were all greatly pressured. No chef would dare to work at Dynasty without an ace or two up their sleeves.

"By the way, Dylan and Kendall should be here any minute."

Jane spoke casually.

Yoseph countered, "Are you joining them as a third wheeler?"

"Do I look that insensitive to you? Dylan is no longer our big brother; he's Kendall's one and only. We have to avoid them whenever possible."

Yoseph smiled.

Jane was a very understanding person.

Their sister, Alice, was an understanding person too. No wonder the two girls got along so well that they could share clothes.

He stopped picking out the lotus seeds.

"You're giving up?"

"Do you think I'm immortal and don't need food?"

Jane was at a loss for words.

"There are so many fresh lotus seeds here; it should be enough for both you and my sister-in-law."

Yoseph complained, "You've got me working all afternoon, so I haven't done any work."

"You picked out the lotus seeds, didn't you? That's considered work."

Yoseph opened his mouth to retort, but he felt that she had a point, so he couldn't say anything in return.

At the Parker Residence, Kelly bought her foster mother two outfits and two sets of jewelry.

As soon as she entered through the door, she called, "Mom."

From upstairs, Shirley responded, "I'm upstairs."

Kelly immediately ran up the stairs with the items in her hands.

When Shirley saw that it was Kelly, her smile faded as she said indifferently, "Oh, it's you. I thought it was Kendall."

Only Kendall would call her 'Mom' so urgently.

Kelly had been raised well by the couple, so she wouldn't act so brashly like Kendall.

"Mom, I don't have any appointments tonight, so I bought two outfits and two sets of jewelry for you. Have a look, Mom. Do you like them?"

Kelly seemed to not have heard her foster mother's words, smiles still written all over her gorgeous face. She walked over to Shirley and put down the items, then helped her foster mother take out the clothes.

Shirley said calmly, "I have too many clothes, so if you're free, you can take them back to your biological mother."

"Mom, these clothes don't suit my other mom. She works with dirt all day, so if she wears clothes like this, she'll ruin them, and she won't be able to express the clothes' extravagance."

Kelly's words were filled with contempt toward Sally.

The Woods Family was quite well-to-do by countryside standards, but when contrasted with the Parker Family, the gap was quite large.

Having grown up in the Parker Family and being spoiled by Adam and his wife, Kelly already had a concrete view of the world.

She looked down on her biological mother from the bottom of her heart.

"Also, that mom of mine doesn't need new clothes. You may not know this, but Kendall used to sneak back there to see Mrs. Woods, and she'd buy her lots of stuff every time she went back. She'd bring the stuff in cars, and she also gave them a lot of money. On the other hand, I've never seen her buying anything for you."

Shirley didn't like her foster daughter complaining about her biological daughter, so she defended Kendall instinctively. "Kendall also bought me clothes and other gifts, but you just never saw them. Kendall was raised by the Woods Family, so she feels indebted to them. Even though she's now come back to me and is living a good life, she hasn't forgotten the Woods Family; she gives them gifts and money, which means that she's a person who values affection. She is good to me and her father, and she's also good to her foster parents in the Woods Family."

Shirley didn't like to see Kendall getting too close to the Woods Family, for she feared that it would affect her relationship with Kendall she had worked so hard to build.

However, seeing how grateful Kendall was, she was even more elated.

If Kendall was a cold person and cut off ties with the Woods Family after returning to her biological family, Shirley would be upset by that as well.

Kelly said, "Mom, I don't mean it like that. Mom, why don't you try on these outfits and see if they fit?"

Shirley glanced at them, then pushed Kelly's hand away while saying indifferently, "You helped me buy those clothes, but you don't even know my size. There's no need to try them on, so just leave the clothes here."

Seeing the lack of interest, Kelly sounded a response and put down the clothes.

Soon, she smiled again and said, "Mom, come and look at these two sets of jewelry. I think they suit you very well. You'd look even more classy and elegant if you put them on, and when Dad comes back, he'll be delighted."

She opened the jewelry box.

Shirley gave it a glance, then remained nonchalant as she said, "Your dad just gave me the exact same sets of jewelry a few days ago. Just take them back. If you don't like wearing them, you can give them to your biological mother."

This time, Kelly didn't dare say anything about her biological mother not deserving those jewelry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Mom, I prepared gifts for her too. I'm waiting until the weekend so that I can go back to see her. It's been a long time since she was discharged from the hospital, so she should have recovered by now. Before she left, I gave her a sum of money and told her not to save it up. I even asked her to buy some nice food so that she can eat well and recover."

Hearing that, Shirley picked up the necklace and examined it, saying, "I already have two sets of the same thing."

"Mom, Dad gave it to you out of his own kindness, and I'm also giving it to you out of my own."

Kelly was all smiles, a little desperate to please Shirley.

Kelly was the daughter she had raised for more than twenty years, after all. The wounds Kelly inflicted on Shirley had healed halfway through.

"I'll accept them, then."

Shirley placed the necklace back into its box and closed the box. "I'll wear it when I play cards with my friends tomorrow."
