Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 142

Toddy paused momentarily before reciprocating, "Your wife is really skillful with her hands."

Looking at Dylan's soft gaze, he clicked his tongue with commendation toward Kendall for being able to waver the heart of a cold-blooded man.

"I agree. Though she lived in the countryside, she's a talented one for sure." Dylan joined the complimentary conversation as he genuinely thought that he and Kendall made the perfect couple.

"Any news about Parker Corporation?" He suddenly steered the subject.

Toddy flashed a smile. "Board circuits production has been their main division and they only branched out to different industries recently. So, I don't see how they could possibly pass up this opportunity, but Mendelson Group is pestering them for a partnership. It's just that Adam… That sly fox keeps holding up his decision."

"That's because I'm his son-in-law. Or else, he would've cooperated with them ages ago."

Who would be able to resist the temptation when Frank was the one offering the deal? Parker Corporation was indeed notable, but it was not on the same level as the prominent companies like the Coleman Empire Holdings and Mendelson Group. All Adam had was a few branches under the company, unlike the Mendelson Group, which had achieved hard-won achievements in various fields.

"Rumors have it that Adam is going to have the sisters to take on the project this time—it's your wife and her stepsister."

Dylan responded, "I reckon Kelly volunteered herself while Kendall is just following Adam's order."

Toddy elaborated his own surmise he had in mind, "He's desperate to nurture Kendall as a qualified successor. After knowing that your very own successor is not of your own blood, it's human nature to want to support your own child. Kelly can't blame anyone for it unless Miss Parker refuses to work hard for it."

Noticing Dylan's dim face, he added hastily, "But with a supportive husband like you, she'll be able to win the game in the end."

Dylan pursed his lips. "Contact the best etiquette school in the city for Kendall. Since she's only available at night, check whether the school is willing to accept her application or not."

Toddy blinked his eyes in confusion. "The renowned Mrs. Coleman is going to an etiquette school? Why don't you seek help from your grandmother? She's the best tutor you can search for, anyway."

From the day that she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Old Madam Coleman had spent her whole life in the beau monde, rendering her the epitome of etiquette itself.

Dylan pinched his Aries toy as he explained, "She doesn't like Kendall. If I ask her for help, Kendall will only end up having a hard time. She is my grandmother, someone whom I revere the most, while Kendall is my wife. They are the ones I'll be spending my whole life with. No matter which side I stand on, one of them is bound to be hurt. So, an etiquette school will be the best option for now. Kendall has the elite blood in her. It's just that she grew up in a different environment. During the one year spent with the Parker Family, my mother-in-law felt guilty and had overindulged her instead of teaching the customary decorum that she needs to know. That's why she still has many bad habits to change. Give her some time. She'll be a brand new person after that."

In his opinion, Kendall was a diamond that was yet to be polished and had a huge space for improvement.

"Fine, fine. I'll help you. She's your wife; I'm sure any school will vie just to accept her enrollment even if she can only attend midnight lessons. With Mrs. Coleman as one of their students, I bet they won't have to worry about the student count for eternity."

However, Toddy was curious about something. "But aren't you going to do anything when your wife meets Leonel with her sister? He is a man of capability but with a shortcoming of liking young girls. I have a bad impression of your wife and I know that she's a gorgeous young woman."

Dylan could easily read between the lines and Toddy knew he was worried about Kendall when he accidentally pinched the toy too hard, causing the toy to squeak.

"She won't want that. Even though I can protect her for life, Kendall wouldn't want to stay behind my shadows for her entire life."

Dylan knew Kendall's character very well. Though she had many secrets hiding from him, he could sense her strong yet inexplicable resentment toward Jackson and Kelly. Right now, it was a true fact that Kelly was more competent than Kendall was. However, she would not allow herself to be an ignorant novice for long, so she needed to gain more experience by building the stack little by little to climb the ladder higher.

"Leonel does like young women, but he won't force himself on them as he stays true to his principles. Besides, do you think that Kendall would fancy someone like him after seeing me every day? He'd be digging his own grave if he was to force upon her."

Even the bodyguard from Mendelson Family had tasted how it felt to be flipped over the shoulder by Kendall. Dylan believed that she could punch a pervert like a walk in the park.

"You're so cool about your wife."

"What other choice do I have? Chain her up so that she would stay by my side? I'm happy to do so, but she won't agree." He actually enjoyed spending time with her; times always passed quickly whenever they were together.

Toddy was speechless for a moment. "I feel like we're talking about two completely different Kendall right now."

"I am talking about her. It's just that her way of dealing things is different from what you may have known."

After shifting his hand away from the toy, Dylan said, "I've fed you answers to appease your curiosity, so please leave unless you have something important to talk about. If you're dying of boredom, I can gladly give you more work."

Toddy came to his senses immediately upon hearing the sinister words. Right when he was going to broach something serious, he recalled something with a smile. "You finally agreed to rehab."

Dylan gave him an eye roll, but he did not mind as he exclaimed, "The power of love is indeed beyond our imagination. I'm very sure that it's because of Kendall. Miss Finley has been waiting for you all these years. When are you going to give her an answer?"

Toddy was caught off-guard by the sudden topic. "I didn't ask for her to do that and I'm not interested in

her. If she's not going to marry someone else, she'll be a spinster in the end."

He was vexed by the intense gaze from his boss. "Dylan, you know that I'm a misogamist."

Silence dawned upon both parties before Dylan piped up, "I hope you won't regret one day and come asking me for help."

Toddy was assaulted by a sudden sense of franticness when he heard that, but he figured he would not regret his decision as he remembered Emma's obsession over him.
