Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 22

The building that Vivian pointed to was a hundred meters away. It was the tallest and most luxuriously decorated building located at the center of the Coleman Mansion while being a property that was always occupied by the head of the Coleman Family.

However, Dylan was an exception because he disliked having many people around.

Therefore, the main house was occupied by Old Madam Coleman, whose name was Tilly Neilson, Dylan's parents, and Alice.

While touching her red cheeks, Kendall asked, "Can I say that it's not a convenient time?"

Taking a look at Kendall's face, Vivian explained, "Ms. Parker, Old Madam Coleman is hoping you can head there now."

After a moment of silence, Kendall decided that since they didn't care about her swollen cheeks resembling a risen dough, she wouldn't mind it either. So, she answered, "Alright."

Vivian nodded in satisfaction at Kendall's cooperation as she said, "Ms. Parker, follow me."

Thus, Kendall left the pavilion and walked behind Vivian.

Once Kendall stepped into the main house, she was shocked by the ancient design of the house. If it weren't for Tilly and the others wearing modern clothing, Kendall would have thought she had been transported into an ancient palace.

The luxurious interior of the Coleman Mansion could be compared with that of a palace.

Although Tilly had passed her eighties, she still had a strong and healthy body.

She had five sons, with the fourth and fifth sons being twins. After she gave birth to three sons, she had aimed for a daughter but received twin sons instead.

Now, her five sons had given her dozens of grandsons and only one granddaughter, Alice. Among all of her grandsons, Dylan was her favorite and also the heir she and her husband had raised personally.

In the Coleman Family, Tilly was the queen dowager, and besides Dylan and Alice, it was rare for others to have the guts to defy her.

Although Tilly looked like a benevolent goddess, Kendall didn't believe that Tilly was a genuinely kind senior. How could a kind person raise a cold and heartless person like Dylan?

Meanwhile, Tilly sat on a chaise longue while a young girl kneeled in front of her, massaging her legs.

On the other single couches sat several women in fashionable clothing adorned by several expensive jewelry pieces.

A maid led Kendall in and stopped before Tilly, announcing, "Old Madam Coleman, Ms. Parker has arrived."

The young girl massaging Tilly's legs was the young lady of the Coleman Family, Alice. She turned her head to look up at Kendall.

When she saw Kendall's swollen cheek, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately rose to her feet and questioned Kendall, "Who slapped you?"

While Alice was questioning Kendall, Tilly and the other women didn't even spare a look at Kendall.

Kendall answered honestly, "My father."

A Shocked Alice couldn't figure out why some parents would hit their children.

After that, the maid introduced Kendall. "Ms. Parker, this is Old Madam Coleman, and this is Miss Alice."

Then, the maid also introduced the rest of the women as they were all wives of the Coleman Family.

However, one of them had been looking at Kendall with an unfriendly gaze since she walked in. After the maid's introduction, Kendall knew that the woman was Dylan's mother and the wife of Tilly's eldest son.

Out of courtesy, Kendall greeted each of them, but they ignored her, except for Alice.

Tilly waited for Kendall to greet her before glancing over and saying warmly, "Sit."

"Thank you."

Dropping the formalities, Kendall found a place to sit and openly welcomed Alice's unbridled gaze, waiting for Tilly to start questioning her.

Tilly's idea was to bring her and Dylan together since there were rumors that Dylan could no longer do the deed. Dylan had never publicly denied the story, either. Even the Coleman Family didn't know if he still had that ability.

Tilly felt anxious and wanted to find someone to take care of Dylan as she thought that no matter how many bodyguards Dylan had, they weren't as meticulous as a woman. So, she wanted to help Dylan bring back a wife, and it would be even better if she could stop the rumors and prove that Dylan was still capable in that aspect.

If Dylan couldn't do the deed… He also had a free nanny to take care of him, so it wasn't something terrible.

However, she had looked through all the wealthy families in Orapolis but still couldn't find a young lady willing to marry Dylan. That was why Tilly had no choice but to fix her target on Kendall, who was the true heiress of the Parker Family.

In Tilly's heart, she looked down on Kendall. Although Kendall was the real young lady of the Parker Family, she was raised in the countryside and didn't fit any requirements to be Dylan's wife.

"I heard that Dylan had brought you back and let you live with him. I'm curious, so I asked you to come to meet me." Then, Tilly asked gently, "Did Dylan say why he brought you back?"

After Kendall heard Tilly's words, she was sure that Dylan had done the same as her and didn't tell his family they were married. Perhaps only Dylan's bodyguards knew that she was his wife.

Without Dylan's approval, not even the Colemans who lived under the same roof would know about this.

Kendall couldn't help but praise her husband's ability to keep a secret.

"I've offended him. So, he brought me back to punish me."

Since they both agreed to keep their marriage a secret, Kendall decided to lie to them.

It wasn't so much of a lie, either. Didn't he bring her back to play tricks on her? He wouldn't let her bear the responsibilities of being his wife, right? Was he even able to do the deed?

Then, Kendall thought of a wicked idea. Once she was free tonight, she would head over to tease Dylan. To be able to see his usually cold face crack was also a kind of amusement for her.

As she was dissatisfied with Kendall's answer, Tilly didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at her second daughter-in-law, Julie Hughes.

Once Julie got Tilly's signal, Julie snorted. "Miss Parker, you've slit your wrist to refuse being married to Dylan and hurt his dignity. It's normal for him to get back at you." Then, she quickly changed the topic and said, "I heard that you fell in love with the young master of the Whittle Family at first sight. You threw a fit and even stopped eating just to marry him. Also, he is the reason you slit your wrist to refuse being married to Dylan."

Kendall wasn't angry and said, "Mrs. Coleman, just as you said, you heard about that. There are many times when you can't trust what you've heard. I've never said I fell in love with Jackson at first sight, nor did I throw a fit to get married to him."

After that, Julie sarcastically said, "You didn't refuse the marriage with Dylan because of him? It's notContent is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

hard for us to find out about your thoughts."

Kendall didn't bother with further explanations as she felt there was no need to explain what she had done in her previous life. All she had to do was ensure she wouldn't marry Jackson in this life.

"Ms. Parker, humans need to be self-conscious. If Dylan hadn't been in that car accident, you wouldn't have been able to marry into the Coleman Family with your identity. The Coleman Family agreed to the joint marriage between our families because we think highly of you. Not all families have such a generous heart as we do. You can't even crawl into the Whittle Family!"

Kendall smiled as she retorted, "Thank you for your advice, Mrs. Coleman. I might not have much, but I do have self-awareness. I don't even want to walk into the Whittle Family, let alone crawl inside."

Julie merely sneered as she asked, "Since you didn't do it for Jackson, why are you afraid of marrying Dylan?"

Kendall focused her gaze on Julie as she replied, "I'm not even afraid of death. So, why would I be afraid of marrying Dylan?"
