Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 29

"I'm sorry," Toddy apologized.

After a short silence, Dylan signed off another document before suddenly telling Toddy, "I'm married."

Toddy looked at Dylan in shock while contemplating whether he had misheard the news.

"These two mice are the first gift my wife has given me."

Finally, Toddy understood why Dylan cherished them so much and won't let anyone touch them, but then realized he didn't know who Dylan's wife was.

Pleading with his eyes, Toddy looked at his boss and best friend closely, as he wanted to know the identity of the courageous woman who dared to marry Dylan.

However, Dylan acted like he didn't see Toddy's plea and continued to sign the documents.

The news he gave was like a bomb that exploded and blasted Toddy into smithereens, but Dylan still acted like nothing had happened and left Toddy with a cliffhanger.

Even if Toddy was curious, he didn't ask Dylan who his wife was because he knew that he wouldn't be able to get Dylan to say her name.

Meanwhile, Kendall had no idea what Dylan was doing at his company. She was waiting for Dylan to leave so she could head home, but she wasn't expecting her mother to visit her first.

However, Charlotte was blocked from entering the Coleman Mansion.

As there were countless rules and heavy security at the Coleman Mansion, anyone who came to visit needed to have the approval from a Coleman before they were allowed to enter. Then, a maid would bring them to where the person they were visiting lived. The guests weren't allowed to walk around the whole mansion. This was to avoid them snooping into other people's privacy.

Charlotte was here to see Kendall, who was living with Dylan, so she had to get Dylan's approval before she could enter Coleman Mansion. However, Dylan was not at home and Kendall didn't have his contact number.

As Kendall thought about it, she found it funny that they had gotten their marriage certificate and were lawfully wedded, but she didn't have her husband's contact number.

On the other hand, Dylan knew her number and her past. While she knew nothing about him, he knew everything about her, which Kendall felt was rather unfair. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Since Charlotte couldn't enter the mansion, she had no choice but to call Kendall. Once Kendall knew that her mother was outside, she quickly went out but as she hadn't familiarized herself with Coleman Mansion, it took her quite a while and some help from the maids to get to the mansion's entrance.

"Mommy!"

"Kendall!"

When Charlotte saw Kendall, she hurriedly went up, grabbed her daughter's hand, and checked to

ensure that Kendall wasn't hurt before releasing a relieved sigh.

Then, she scolded, "Kendall, why didn't you tell me you left home? I was so scared when I didn't see you at home when I returned. After your father told me, I wanted to call you, but he said it was late and we shouldn't disturb your rest. I couldn't sleep well last night, you know?"

"Mommy, I'm sorry. I should have called you," Kendall apologized.

She was so busy battling wits with Dylan that she forgot to call her mother.

"Did Master Dylan make things difficult for you? How could your father watch him take you away?" Charlotte accused her husband of not cherishing his daughter.

"No, Mommy. He won't do anything to me, so you don't have to worry about that."

"Kelly said Master Dylan wants you to take responsibility for something. What did you say that day that made him come to our house and demand that you leave with him?"

After hesitating, Kendall decided not to tell her mother the truth. She had lost her marriage certificate, and Charlotte wouldn't believe her without proof.

"Mommy, I'll tell you when the time is right, but you don't have to worry about me for now. I'm doing fine." A short pause later, Kendall continued, "Mommy, you came at just the right time. I'll follow your car home and drive my car back here."

Although the Coleman Family wasn't short of cars, Kendall was Dylan's secretly married wife, so she wasn't given a car. In order to make things easier for her when she needed to go out, she had to return

home and drive her car over.

"Kendall, can you stay at home with me?"

As Charlotte led Kendall into the car, the former worriedly asked, "If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask you, but I think it's not appropriate for you to stay at the Colemans. They might still remember that you refused to marry into the Coleman Family, and Master Dylan is not an easy person to get along with. I'm afraid…" Charlotte stopped for a bit before continuing, "Kendall, before I came, I received a call from Mrs. Whittle. She said she has chosen a date for your engagement party, which will be on the sixth of next month."

After buckling her seatbelt, Charlotte asked, "Did you mean it when you said you don't want to marry Jackson anymore? If you mean it, I'll refuse Mrs. Whittle and tell her the engagement is off."

"Mommy, please refuse her. I'm never going to marry Jackson."

Charlotte was dumbfounded.

Was the one who refused to eat, ran over to the Colemans to find Master Dylan, and attempted suicide to refuse his marriage proposal, not her daughter?

"Kendall, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Mommy, I'm awake and know what I'm talking about. I used to like Jackson, but then I felt he wasn't the person I could rely on for the rest of my life. I've been recuperating at home for a long time, yet he hasn't even called, let alone visited me. He doesn't like me, so I definitely won't be happy if I marry him."

Relaxing, Charlotte took Kendall's hand in hers before driving away and comforting her, "Kendall, I'm happy that you're able to think this through. It's difficult for you to take on a cunning family like the Whittles. Although Jackson is an excellent person and seems to treat you well, just as you said, he doesn't seem to treat you as well as how he shows us on the outside. Alright, then. I'll help you refuse Mrs. Whittle, so you won't need to marry him." Then, she lovingly caressed Kendall's cheek before she praised, "My daughter is such an excellent girl, so she will be able to find a husband that is even better than Jackson."

Kendall had already found him and married the best man in all of Orapolis. However, since they were secretly married, she wasn't allowed to call him her husband.

The two left the Coleman Mansion but halfway home, Kendall changed her mind and decided to head to the Parker Corporation.

"You want to go to the company?"

Shocked at Kendall's decision, Charlotte glanced at her daughter before looking back on the road. "What made you decide to go to the company? You refused our offer to enter the company and help Kelly with the company affairs by saying you don't know anything about managing a business."

Since then, Charlotte and Adam stopped asking Kendall to enter the company, and they began to rely even more on their adopted daughter, Kelly.

However, Charlotte felt unhappy about that. When she saw that the two sisters were getting along well and Kelly took good care of Kendall, Charlotte decided that she and Adam would give Kelly once they had grown old and could no longer support the company. That way, Kelly would still have the drive to

work hard, but the one with the most authority would still be their biological daughter, Kendall.

With Kelly managing the Parker Corporation, Kendall could live a good life.

Thinking she had paved the way for her daughter, Charlotte stopped asking Kendall to take over the company. She wasn't expecting Kendall to say she wanted to go to the Parker Corporation.

"Mommy, that's our family's company. Can't I, the real daughter of the Parker Family, go there?"

Laughing, Charlotte replied, "Of course you can. I'm just surprised! When I asked you to visit the company, you'd rather become someone else's piano teacher than enter our company."

When Kendall heard that, she felt rather guilty. She had let her parents down because she refused their offer to enter the company. This was due to Kendall not understanding anything about managing a business.

During this lifetime, though, she had to learn about managing a business because if she was knowledgeable, she would be able to grow stronger and take over the Parker Corporation so that it would not fall into the hands of Kelly and Jackson.
