Chapter 197
Why and when did Kendall marry Dylan? None of the Woods received any news about this. Is it because Kendall dislikes us and doesn't want us to attend her wedding?
Sally couldn't help but think that way.
"Mother, Kendall and I haven't held our wedding yet. Other than telling the people closest to us about our marriage, we haven't made it public to the outside world yet."
Dylan was like a mind reader. While Sally was having wild thoughts in her head, he had already explained the situation to her.
Now that Sally understood, she felt even more distressed.
"You and Kendall married in secret? Are you not sincere to Kendall? Dylan, I know that you are a very powerful individual. Our Kendall may not be worthy of you in all aspects, but to us, she is the apple of our eye, and we can't bear to let her suffer any grievances. If you don't want others to know that you married a wife who grew up in the countryside, please don't make Kendall suffer and leave her as soon as possible. In fact, you should leave quietly before everyone knows about it. This way, it won't affect you or Kendall."
Sally knew that it was difficult for her daughter to assimilate into the upper-class circle after returning to a wealthy family. Even if the Woods Family gave her the best education they could afford and never made Kendall suffer, it remained a fact that they were a family from the rural countryside.
After all, people of different social classes had their own circles. It was often difficult and tiring for people outside a certain social class to truly assimilate.
Sally clearly knew what kind of family the Colemans were.
Considering Kendall's identity, she was indeed not qualified to be the Eldest Young Mistress of the Coleman Family.
However, as usual, Dylan only had to say one sentence to make Sally speechless.
"Kendall forced me to marry her."
"She forced you to marry her?"
Sally felt her face redden. She thought that Dylan had wronged her daughter, but it turned out that her daughter took the initiative to do so.
"Mother, it's all in the past now. I don't want to repeat what happened either. Since Kendall has married me, I plan to live with her for the rest of my life."
Dylan explained patiently, "It's not that we don't plan on making it public; I'm still working on several things. Once the arrangement is done, the marriage will be made public. Don't worry, Mother. I will definitely give Kendall a wedding and not let her secretly marry into the Coleman Family just like this."
He was reluctant to let Kendall be wronged. No matter whether others had it or not, his woman needed to have everything.
Hence, what more could Sally say? She could only answer, "Alright, alright."
In the end, she built up her courage and said, "Dylan, Kendall is an innocent and kind girl. Although sometimes she likes to act violent, she has a pure and good nature. I heard that wealthy families all have their own troubles, so Kendall's temperament makes me worry about her. You should protect her. If you are really tired of her one day, don't beat her up or scold her. Just tell us, and we'll come and pick her up immediately. We won't let her rely on you."
Dylan said solemnly, "Mother, no matter how bad I am in other aspects, I will still be able to protect my wife. No matter how apathetic I am, I won't beat and scold my woman. The things you worry about will never happen."
"Thanks."
"Mother, don't be so polite to me. I'm here today as a son to visit my mother-in-law. You have been in the hospital for so long, yet I haven't come to see you. I'm the one who's at fault."
Sally was terrified as she replied, "Don't say that, Dylan. Kendall's biological mother and your real mother-in-law should be Mrs. Parker. I'm just an old woman from the countryside."
Dylan was quite helpless.
For Kendall's sake, Sally even dared to persuade him to divorce her right there and then. Once Kendall was not involved, she was just like Charlotte, appearing terrified before him.
"Kendall is very lucky since she has two fathers and two mothers. Although you are not her biological mother, you will always be her mother because you raised her as your own. Since she addresses you as such, I will follow her lead. You will be my mother-in-law too."
Sally was at a loss for words, but what Dylan said made her feel very satisfied. Such a powerful man was able to humble himself to talk to her with such a sincere and respectful attitude. First, it was clear that he had a good and proper upbringing, and second, it was obvious that he cared about Kendall. If he didn't love her, he couldn't be so humble as that.
As he said, Sally had been hospitalized for a long time, but he hadn't visited her before today. It wasn't that he didn't have time, but he didn't love Kendall back then. Now that he did, he attached importance to the people Kendall cared about.
Meanwhile, Nelson pulled the woman out of the ward and started questioning her.
Kendall didn't say anything about her rebirth or her dreams; she merely said that she was frustrated with Jackson, so she had gone on to marry Dylan instead.
No matter what, Nelson was Kelly's brother.
"Kendall, y-you really are too... What am I going to do with you? Even if you are frustrated with Jackson, don't take your future lightly. Dylan is indeed better than Jackson, but he...”
He looked at the door of the ward vigilantly, making sure no one came out, then lowered his voice to say, "He is physically disabled now, and there are rumors that he is incapable of producing children. You are still young, but you've already given him your life. Are you muddled in your head? Unless you marry him in your seventies, I'd have no problem with that."
Kendall laughed, "Nell, if I'm in my seventies, am I supposed to be his grandma?"
Nelson replied, “Anyway, you are just muddled. You didn't discuss such a big matter with us, and you kept it from us for so long."
"I'm sorry, Nell."
Nelson looked at her, feeling distressed, reluctant, and bitter.
The little girl who had grown up with him was now someone else's.
"Don't be angry, alright? There are many reasons why I didn't tell you about this beforehand. Now that I'm able to, aren't I telling you right away?"
Kendall grabbed Nelson's arm and swung it, pleading with him like she did when she was a child.
When she was little, her brothers wanted to go out to play and didn't want to take her with them. She always pleaded like this with Nelson, so he would be reluctant to leave her and would take her out.
"What's the use of me being angry? You've gone and done it anyway."
Nelson poked at Kendall's forehead with his finger, and Kendall deliberately cried out in pain.
Feeling distressed, Nelson reached out and stroked her forehead, then said indulgently, "You're still the same. It's just a light jab, but you're screaming in pain."
"Nell, I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm twenty-six years old, you know."
"Yes, yes, my Kendall is twenty-six years old and married, so you no longer need me."
Nelson's words were full of loneliness.
"Nell, you will always be my big brother."
Nelson looked at her deeply for a while before smiling. "Yes, I will always be your big brother."
He suddenly pulled Kendall into his arms, gave her a hard hug, then quickly pushed her away and said earnestly, "Kendall, you must be happy. If you are not happy, don't force yourself. Just divorce him and come back. I will take care of you."
