The mother-in-law did gaze at her son-in-law, and the longer she gazed, the happier she became. Even her own daughter had to take a step back.
"Miss Kendall is only interested in your new car, Mrs. Parker," the servant smiled.
This meant that Charlotte would be ignored when Kendall, the daughter, saw the new car. As a result, Charlotte did the same to her daughter.
Kendall elaborated, "Well, I'm just taking a look at the new car. By the way, when did my mother buy a new car?"
Kendall was so envious because she secretly planned to purchase a car worth more than 100,000, but her mother threatened to reveal her plans to Dylan. However, since her mother had bought a car worth more than a million, there would be no harm for Kendall to purchase one.
"This was not purchased by Mrs. Parker; rather, it was given to her by Master Dylan."
The servant only knew that Dylan had sent the car over in the morning, but she had no idea it was for compensation.
Kendall then proceeded to the main house.
After entering the room, she saw Dylan already seated at the dining table while even Ronnie and other bodyguards were at the other end of the table.
It wasn't because Charlotte wanted to split the table, but because they were used to the rules of the
Colemans and didn't dare to sit at the same table as Dylan.
Kendall, who looked annoyed, came over, pulled the chair next to Dylan with a big movement and sat down. She then locked her gaze on him with her hand on her chin.
Dylan appeared to be at ease because Kendall's gaze indicated that he was very attractive.
After a while, Charlotte and the two servants delivered the prepared meals.
Charlotte placed the dish and patted Kendall when she noticed her expression. When Kendall looked at her, she softly said, "Kendall, hurry up and wash your hands. It's time to eat, so please assist me in serving the food."
Dylan was the guest whereas Kendall was not.
"Mother, please take a seat. I'll leave the dishes to Ronnie and the others."
Following Dylan's instructions, Ronnie and the other bodyguards stood up in unison, walked into the kitchen in order, and served the dishes one by one.
Charlotte didn't show preferential treatment, so the dishes prepared on both tables were identical.
Dylan's bodyguards were also well-treated because they had distinct characteristics that earned Dylan's trust while serving alongside him.
Throughout the meal, she did not dare to serve Dylan food; instead, she kept asking him to eat more.
Despite the fact that Kendall was her daughter, Charlotte never refilled her bowl.
Kendall, on the other hand, was completely silent as she ate.
At this moment, Dylan placed a piece of fried cod, her favorite dish, into her bowl. "Mother did it all by herself, so it must be delectable. Eat more."
Kendall didn't look at him or thank him; she simply picked up the fish and ate it.
Seeing this, Charlotte frowned at Kendall and scolded her, "Kendall, what's the matter with you? Who offended you that you were enraged when you walked in? Don't bring your rage to the table, even if someone has offended you. It's your problem if you don't want to eat; don't ruin my son-in-law's appetite."
"Dylan gave Mommy a new car and now you're siding with him."
Her words were bitter.
Charlotte anticipated Kendall's envy when she saw the new car. She wanted to tap Kendall on her forehead, but she couldn't stand up because she was sitting across from the young couple, so she glared at Kendall and asked, "Do you want to discuss the car right now?"
"I can't even touch the steering wheel," Kendall grumbled, looking at Dylan beside her, "and he gave you a new car to please his mother-in-law."
"If you want to get your hands on the steering wheel, you can sit in my car for the entire night and touch
it for as long as you like."
"Dylan…"
"Eat more, and when you're full, you'll have the strength to touch the steering wheel all night," Dylan said as he placed some vegetables in her bowl.
Charlotte wanted to burst out laughing when she saw Kendall was speechless. Dylan was indeed very powerful, as evidenced by his ability to easily shut Kendall's mouth.
"I thought you were flying a plane every time I saw you driving. You might be able to fly the car like a plane if it has wings! When did you say you wouldn't race? You sped again today, excluding previous times."
"I... I thought the road was designed to be spacious and calm, and the traffic flow was light, so I wanted to press the accelerator harder. However, I did not anticipate losing control of my strength and speed..." Kendall explained.
Under Dylan's piercing gaze, she fell silent.
"Kendall, Master Dylan didn't give me the car, and it's actually a compensation for me on your behalf. Didn't you damage the front end of my car by crashing it into the road curb? My car is being repaired and has not yet been returned, so Master Dylan sent me a car as compensation," Charlotte elaborated, lest Kendall remained grumpy. "Master Dylan is doing this for your own good. Would he treat you this way if you aren't so presumptuous?"
Kendall was taken aback.
Dylan, she assumed, had sent her mother a new car in order to please his mother-in-law. Despite this, she felt a sense of sweetness in her heart. For someone like Dylan, eagerness to please others showed how much he valued the other person.
It was out of Kendall's expectation that Dylan would compensate her mother for a new car on her behalf.
This was him cleaning up the mess she had made.
Kendall was moved by Dylan's act but also ashamed of her own actions.
Dylan would never explain something clearly before doing it, and he was notorious for catching people off guard. Kendall was obviously taken aback and moved.
"Thank you very much, Dylan."
"Eat up."
Kendall hummed quietly before eating, after which she began putting food in Dylan's bowl.
Charlotte, who was watching the couple interact, could sense their happiness.
Dylan and Kendall lingered at the Parker Residence after the meal and were ready to leave around 8.00PM.
Before they left, Charlotte took Kendall aside and warned her in hushed tones. It was nothing more
than a wake-up call and reminder of her marriage to Master Dylan. This was the path Kendall chose as well.
"I get it, Mommy."
"Master Dylan treats you well, so you must cherish him. Even though… you were already aware of it and prepared for it. In fact, as long as you both don't mind, you can be happy for the rest of your life," Charlotte said.
"I understand, Mommy. By the way, Mommy, I might not return the next time. Tomorrow night, I'll begin etiquette classes at the etiquette school."
She would be extremely busy, working during the day and recharging herself at night.
"Learning proper etiquette? Is this what Master Dylan is saying? Is he under the impression that you don't understand proper etiquette?"
Charlotte taught her daughter proper etiquette after Kendall was criticized. Nonetheless, under normal circumstances, Kendall's words and actions would not be considered heinous.
As Charlotte thought of the Coleman Family and Dylan's identity, she realized Kendall might not be able to carry the weight of being the Young Mistress of the Coleman Family.
"It's not that he dislikes it. Rather, I believe I should learn it as well. Anyway, everything I learned is mine, so I'll head to class at night to recharge myself."
Kendall had assumed Dylan disliked her at first, but she was now convinced otherwise.
She noticed a shift in his attitude toward her.
Charlotte hummed in agreement with Kendall upon hearing her words. "Then, you must pay close attention to your health. You don't need to work too hard because we have enough food and clothing."
