Love Knows No Bounds novel (Kendall and Dylan) novel Chapter 54

Toddy entered the president's office at Coleman Empire Holdings.

"President Coleman."

"I managed to gather information about him."

Dylan did not even raise his head.

Toddy then approached Dylan and handed him the few papers in his hand, saying, "I've gotten every detail about him."

"Put them down. I'll check them out later when I'm free."

Toddy then placed the papers on Dylan's right side, where the latter could easily pick them up when he had the time.

Then, Toddy noticed that the two little mice were displayed at an eye-catching position.

He knew that Dylan's wife gave these to him. Given how highly Dylan regarded them, the man must adore his wife as well.

"You don't have to look at them. I'm not going to distribute them."

That rendered Toddy speechless, but he added, "I can buy ten boxes of them," he said in reply.

"Well, the ten boxes can't compete with my pair."

Toddy had the impression that his superior was showing off his wife to Toddy, who was a single man.

"We have a business relationship with Whittle Holdings, right?" Dylan inquired, his voice solemn. He continued without waiting for Toddy's response, "Make something out of it and subject them to losses. Then, spread word that Whittle Holdings have offended the Coleman Empire Holdings."

"Okay."

Toddy was intrigued by the reason for such instructions, but he did not inquire further and would unconditionally follow his superior's orders.

"That's all."

"Okay. I'll get back to work now. Do you want to hang out this weekend?"

"My legs can't function well. I can't tag along with you all anymore. Just go with them; I don't want to ruin everyone's mood."

Dylan was emotionless when he said these.

But Toddy noticed Dylan tightening his grip on the pen he was holding. Toddy knew that Dylan was, in fact, upset about his disability.

However, he refused to follow the doctor's advice for physiotherapy despite the doctor's assurances that if he could stick with the physiotherapy, he would be able to stand and walk like everyone else in a couple of years.

"Dylan."

When Toddy addressed Dylan by name, he was assuming the role of Dylan's friend.

"Simply follow the doctor's advice and seek physiotherapy. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to recover? It's been a long time since you've joined us for golf, hiking, horseback riding, or surfing!"

Dylan simply pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

"You now have a wife and a family. Even if it's not for yourself, you must consider your wife! I'm sure she'll want you to go shopping with her hand in hand."

Hearing that, Dylan put down his pen and raised his head, thereafter looking at Toddy.

After a brief moment of silence, Dylan responded, "I can go shopping with her in my wheelchair."

"If you can walk, you can take care of her. But now it's the other way around; she's got to look after you. Dylan, even though you don't say who your wife is, the fact that you placed the two little mice in such a prominent location indicates to me that she is important to you. Given that, you must be hoping that you will be able to bring her happiness, right? But now, instead of looking after her, your situation will only make things worse for her. Will she be happy?"

Dylan's expression turned to an awful one.

Kendall had stated unequivocally that she did not mind his disability. She was even willing to be a widow for the rest of her life.

"Think about it yourself. I'll leave now."

Toddy was tactful enough to know when to stop.

After he left, Dylan took the investigation results given by Toddy.

The papers were regarding Jackson and Kendall.

When he finished reading them, he tore them all up and threw it in the garbage can next to him.

…

Kelly's car stopped in front of the Goldlake Villa, but she did not immediately get down from the car. Instead, she looked around to make sure there were no other cars before putting on her sunglasses and a cap and exiting the car with her Hermès bag.

When she arrived at the villa's entrance, she took another look around and only pressed the doorbell after ensuring that no one was nearby.

Within seconds, a servant opened the door for her.

"Miss Kelly."

The servant immediately recognized Kelly and put on a fawning smile. "Would you like to drive your car in?"

"That's not necessary. I will be leaving soon."

While entering the villa, Kelly opened her bag and took out a small red box. She then handed it to the servant and gently said, "Amy, this is for you. I bought it earlier during my work trip, but I was so busy that I didn't have time to come earlier."

Amy's smile brightened even more when she saw this. She said shyly as she took over the box, "Thank you very much for this present. Our young master is waiting for you inside."

"I'll go in now."

This was Jackson's villa, where he frequently met with Kelly privately.

Kelly then went inside the house by herself.

Unlike in the Whittle Family where they had a large group of servants, Amy and Zoe were the only ones here. Amy was in charge of housekeeping, while Zoe was in charge of the cooking.

When Kelly entered, she was surprised to see that Jackson wasn't around. She paused for a moment before raising her legs and making her way upstairs.

She quickly arrived at the room facing the east and knocked on the door.

"I'm here, Jackson."

However, there was no response from him.

She was a little doubtful. Hence, she raised her hand and knocked once more.

Suddenly, the door flung open, and she was drawn in by a pair of arms. Her lips were sealed as she felt herself pressed against the door.

After a series of passionate kisses, Jackson stroked her face and said, hoarsely, "I love you, Kelly."

Kelly raised her head and looked him in the eyes. Due to the kisses earlier, she was now panting heavily. With a flirtatious expression, she cuddled in Jackson's embrace. Her demeanor enticed him to kiss her again, but she covered his mouth with her hand.

"I love you too, Jackson."

"Do you really love me?"

"Do you want me to show you my heart?" she asked, her eyes welling up with emotion.

Jackson then pried open her hand which was covering his mouth, and kissed her on the lips lightly. Grudgingly, he said, "But you requested me to marry Kendall! Who knows how difficult it was for me to put up the show."

"Aren't you having a good time? Look, you're not used to Kendall being uninterested in you now."

"I was just acting in front of your adoptive parents."

Kelly was not interested in continuing the conversation. Hence, she asked, "Where's your injuries? Let me have a look."

Jackson then yanked her from his embrace and grumbled, "There are claw marks all over my hands and feet! The dogs in the Coleman Family are simply too frightening. They didn't bite me much but when they tried to tear my clothes, they left a lot of claw marks on my limbs and even my neck. Fortunately, the marks on my neck aren't visible. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to reveal myself."

Then, Jackson stroked his own face and continued, "If they dare to scratch my face, I will definitely kill them."

He was, obviously, pleased with his own looks.

Following his words, Kelly checked on his injuries and said dearly, "Are the dogs insane? How can they cause you such injuries?"

"It was Kendall!"

Jackson was still terrified whenever he remembered the incident.

Kendall saw him being chased and bitten by the dogs, but she did not save him or even ask anyone to get the dogs away from him. Jackson would have been bitten or scared to death if it hadn't been for the fact that someone from the Colemans happened to come out.

It was just too terrifying!
