"You're too kind, Master Dylan and Mrs. Coleman. The honor belongs to our institute for having Mrs. Coleman as our student."
As though he could see all the wealthy families in Orapolis and its neighboring cities sending their daughters to his institution to learn etiquette, Kerry grinned from ear to ear. That's all money! he thought with the urge to pay respects to Dylan and Kendall as if they were his gods.
When they were out of the institute, Dylan peered at his pretty wife and asked, "Are you going back to work at the office or visit your mom at the hospital?"
Checking the time, Kendall answered, "I'm going back to work. After work in the early evening, I can visit Mom at the hospital."
As she was a new employee, she felt uneasy to ask for leave all the time.
"Okay, I'll send Ronnie to pick you up after work, and I'll go to the hospital with you."
Kendall blinked, and he chuckled in amusement as he pinched her petite nose. In response, she sulked playfully, which made him want to pull her into his arms because he really loved the way she acted coquettish.
With that thought in mind, he did as he wanted, pulling her into his embrace.
Her nose bumped into his chest, and she deliberately gasped in pain. Anxiously, he pushed her aside and asked in concern, "Kendall, did I hurt you?"
"Your chest is so firm." Patting his chest, she said with a giggle, "I did bump into you, but it didn't hurt because I did it on purpose."
"Are you really okay?"
"I'm fine."
Cupping her face with his palms, he scrutinized her and was only relieved when he was sure that she was fine. However, he couldn't help but punish her by biting her lips. "Don't do this again. I can't take the scare," he chided.
"Okay." Hugging his waist in bliss, Kendall leaned on his chest and said, "Master Dylan, are you really going to the hospital with me to visit my mom?"
"Why? You don't want her to meet her ugly son-in-law?"
Her mom, Sally, was not her real mother, but she raised her, and their relationship had always been close. Hence, Dylan was willing to treat her just the same as he would for his mother-in-law.
"That's nonsense. You're the most good-looking man in the world. My admiration for you is like the surging waters of the Thames, flowing endlessly. And it's also akin to the ocean, too deep to measure."
After that, she stopped and lifted her head to meet his smiling eyes.
"Why did you stop? I'm listening."
"My knowledge is limited, and I can't think of more beautiful phrases."
Dylan burst into laughter. "That's all you say every time. If you say it a few more times, I can even recite it already."
"At least I've said it, but what about you? I would like to hear those three words."
All of a sudden, he pursed his lips tightly.
I love you!
But he couldn't say it out loud because a person like him wasn't good at sweet-talking.
Seeing the look on his face, Kendall knew that he was so proud and arrogant that she could forget about hearing 'I love you' from his lips in the short-term.
In spite of that, she didn't want to force him as she could feel how well he was treating her.
If he had no feelings for her, he wouldn't treat her so well to the point that he was spoiling her.
Some people were more reserved with their feelings, and they displayed it through their actions instead of words.
"Hubby, I'll lean on you and take a short nap so that I don't fall asleep at work later."
"Sure."
Stiffening his shoulders, Dylan allowed her to take a rest on his shoulder, and she fell asleep very quickly. Watching her fall fast asleep, he was incredibly envious.
This girl could fall asleep so easily, unlike him, who was always disturbed by that dream and couldn't sleep well.
…
At the Zorn Residence, Yasmin went straight upstairs the moment she returned without even taking lunch.
Kelly chased after her, but she was locked outside her bedroom door. Equally hungry, Kelly refused to give up and kept knocking on her door for quite a while before Yasmin finally let her into the room.
At that moment, Yasmin had already instructed the servants to send the food into her room, and she would eat together with Kelly.
"Yasmin, I know that you're angry, but you still have to eat. You'll hurt your body by starving yourself. Kendall won't feel sorry for you, and she'll even gloat about it," Kelly said after finishing a bowl of soup.
In her heart, she had already berated Kendall thousands of times. Despite the fact that she had made the arrangements for Kendall to go fishing with Leonel, Kendall was still able to almost start a fight with Yasmin. With Yasmin's background, that scene earlier was an embarrassment for her, and she wondered if any of it was captured by someone else.
If this made it into the entertainment tabloid, the feud between Yasmin and Kendall would only get deeper.
Even though Kelly wanted the both of them to be enemies, she didn't want Yasmin to take her anger out on Parker Corporations because it belonged to her.
"Kelly, before I finish eating, you shouldn't bring up that b*tch because it affects my appetite."
Right now, just hearing Kendall's name was enough to leave her boiling with anger, and besides cursing and scolding her with the worst things she could think of, there was nothing else she could do to her.
She had thought that she could beat Kendall until her face swelled up, but she didn't even get to touch her face in the end.
If she had known this earlier, she would have gone with her bodyguards.
That's right, I'll bring my bodyguards with me the next time and make sure she loses all her teeth, she decided. How dare she provoke me! If I don't teach her a lesson, I'll drop my last name!
"Okay, okay. We won't speak about her now. Actually, I'm very angry with her as well. Instead of doing something proper, she's always getting into trouble with other people."
Yasmin was quiet. Usually, this time of the day was the time for her afternoon rest, but because of Kendall, she was just having her lunch now, and she was famished.
After they filled their bellies, Yasmin called the internal line and instructed the servants to clear up upstairs.
Getting up, she paced to the couch and took a seat. Unintentionally, she caught sight of the vase Dylan gave her as a present, and her anger flared up again.
For her birthday, all he gave her was a worthless vase. Despite that, she placed the worthless vase, which also satirized her, in her room where she could see it any time.
Regardless, this was Dylan's only gift for her, and at least he showed up that evening, which showed how much he valued her.
Recalling how good he was to Kendall, she wanted to smash the vase to pieces, but of course, it was just a thought because she couldn't actually bring herself to do it.
"Kelly, your father asked you to follow me, didn't he?"
"Yes, he did, but I wanted to do it as well. You're a good friend of mine, and I can't be at ease when I see how mad you are because of Kendall. Only god knows how worried I was when I was behind you and saw how fast you were driving. Yasmin, don't do this in the future. It's not worth it over someone like Kendall."
After Yasmin heard the words of concern from her good friend, the look on her face softened a little.
"Kelly, it's been a while since Kendall joined the company. Why didn't you force her out yet?"
"Yasmin, she's my parents' biological daughter after all, and she hasn't been there long either—it's only been two weeks. In the beginning, she followed my dad, but now she's following me to learn from me. That's why she's helping me to seal the order with one of Coleman Empire Holdings' subsidiaries, Prestige Electronics. I've already made my move. Leonal Dawson from Prestige Electronics has taken
a liking for her, and if she doesn't make a sacrifice, the deal won't happen."
The light in Yasmin's eyes danced as she said viciously, "You can give Mr. Dawson a hand and give Kendall something that will make her excited so that she's… You know what I mean."
