"What kind of spell did Kendall cast upon you and Dylan to the point that you two are standing up for her like this?!"
Although Emily wanted to flick her daughter's forehead so badly, she couldn't bear to bring herself to do so.
After giving birth to three sons, Alice was her precious daughter. For that reason, she had never once raised her voice at Alice.
Alice refuted upon hearing Emily's words, "Mom! Kendall didn't cast any spell on me. All I know is that Dylan's mood has improved while he has an appetite for food now. He's also willing to go for rehabilitation after Kendall has entered his life."
As every word spoken by Alice was nothing but the truth, Emily found herself tongue-tied.
"That's enough." Tolly suddenly voiced her opinion. "Since they have already registered their marriage, just let them announce it officially to the public."
Presently, it was Dylan who held the most authority in Coleman Empire Holdings.
"Emily, invite Mrs. Parker over tomorrow. Since she's now our in-law, the least she can do is to visit us."
After being silent for a while, Tilly sighed. "Emily, don't be angry. Just as Ally said, although Kendall grew up in the countryside, she has never done anything shameful. So, don't keep insulting her by calling her a bumpkin in the future and lose all your years of mannerism."
Later, she added again, "Think on the bright side. For better or worse, Kendall is still a young daughter of the Parker Family. If it's really someone from the rural area—well, we can only accept as long as Dylan likes her."
Thinking of Dylan's temperament, Tilly changed her way of approach.
Despite being extremely upset, Emily still replied to Tilly with respect. "Yes, I understand."
Those sisters-in-law ought to laugh at me behind my back. My eldest son whom I took so much pride in actually married a wife like Kendall!
There were a total of five brothers during Fergus' generation. Although all five wives of the Coleman brothers seemingly interacted with each other harmoniously on the surface, each one secretly had their own little tricks up their sleeves.
Since Fergus was the eldest son, that made Emily the eldest among all wives of the siblings. Her three sons had occupied an extremely important position in the Coleman Family. Not to mention, she had given birth to Alice, the only daughter of the Coleman Family in this generation. As such, her status had automatically surpassed that of several sisters-in-law in the Coleman Family.
For that reason, the marriage between Dylan and Kendall made Emily feel that she had lost to those sisters-in-law.
Apart from Dylan's immediate family members, there was also dissatisfaction among the other elders in the Coleman Family when he officially announced his marriage with Kendall. As for everyone else, they, too, had different reactions.
Women who once admired Dylan were envious, jealous, and hateful. Yet, they despised Kendall at the same time, thinking that Kendall would simply marry Dylan because she wanted to latch onto his wealth and power.
After all, everyone in Orapolis knew Dylan was disabled and lacks his sexual ability.
However, some women didn't mind as Dylan was wealthy and powerful.
When the official announcement was made, Yasmine smashed a lot of items at her home in a fit of anger.
The same went for Laura. She also accidentally damaged an unfinished dress and had to do it all over again the moment she discovered the news.
Besides Yasmine and Laura, there were also love rivals whom Kendall didn't know and couldn't name. It made people wonder what their reactions would be.
Anyhow, Kendall not only became the most honorable young lady in Orapolis overnight, but she also became the target of jealousy and hatred of most of the female compatriots.
Even those who didn't envy her couldn't be happy for her either.
One of the examples was Amelia. After learning about the announcement, she was concerned about Kendall. However, Kendall didn't answer despite her calling several times.
In the meantime, Frank's reaction was rather calm.
In truth, he had mentally prepared himself for news like this since the day he encountered them at the entrance of the hospital. It's good that they're married too. In this way, I will give Dylan an even greater blow when I snatch Kendall over. It will be best if Dylan never recovers from it.
As for Kendall, she didn't know and didn't bother to care about everyone's reactions.
Since she only started her class tonight, she had finished it earlier.
Dylan still hadn't arrived, but Henry was already waiting for her outside. "Young Mistress Kendall."
As soon as Henry saw Kendall, he hurriedly left the car to greet her.
She instinctively looked around, but she was a little disappointed inside when she didn't see Dylan.
Seeing this, he explained, "Young Mistress Kendall, you came out ahead of time. Young Master Dylan didn't know about it, so that's why he hasn't come over yet."
"It's fine. We can return by ourselves. Dylan is already busy and tired with work during the day. I originally didn't want to let him come and pick me up either."
Kendall entered the car with a smile and took out her phone at the same time. Seeing that there were many missed calls, she didn't rush to look at them and instead called Dylan first.
"Hubby."
As soon as Dylan answered the phone, Kendall called him hubby sweetly.
The tinge of allure in her sweet tone cheered Dylan's mood a little.
Emily had nagged him for quite a while earlier when he returned home for rehabilitation, and it seriously affected his mood.
She was particularly bothered by the fact that he had officially announced his marriage with Kendall.
She even went as far as to make it clear that if Dylan had kept his marriage with Kendall a secret, he could quietly divorce Kendall and marry a woman of the same status once his health returned to normal.
Sure enough, this enraged Dylan to the core.
Seething with fury, he thought he would have ordered someone to tie Emily up and feed her to a pack of wolves if she wasn't his biological mother.
That was also the very first time the mother and son fell into a heated argument.
Emily felt that she nearly fainted with rage while Dylan wasn't in a good mood either.
In a fit of panic, both the father and daughter, Fergus and Alice, came in a hurry and dragged Emily away. They were afraid that the conflict between Emily and Dylan would grow more serious if they didn't stop the fight in time.
"Is your class over?"
"Yeah. I'm already in the car. Hubby, you haven't left the house yet, right? You don't have to come here. Just wait for me at home."
After hearing that, Dylan hummed. "Okay. I'll wait for you at home."
"Good boy."
He was silent for a moment before he said, "Kendall, I'm not a child."
With that, Kendall giggled. "Yes. Yes. Yes. You're not a child. I would've been a beast if you're a child."
Dylan let out a hearty laugh. I'm really powerless against her.
After informing him not to pick her up, only then did Kendall have time to look at those missed calls.
She replied to the calls from her parents and Amelia.
Since Kendall's parents knew about her and Dylan a long time ago, she didn't need to do much explanation. It was Amelia whom she needed to explain in detail.
"Amy, don't be angry. I really didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just… Are you free this weekend? Let's go to the horse farm owned by the Coleman Family for a vacation. We can ride the horses on the big lawn. By that time, I'll tell you the story of me and Dylan."
"Sure. Since it involves Master Dylan, I'll let you off the hook this time as I believe you have difficulties that you're reluctant to mention. You must not hide anything that you can let me know in the future, though."
Amelia was a little lost when she felt sorry for her friend at the same time. Seeing that Kendall didn't even inform her about important occasions such as her marriage, Amelia felt that Kendall didn't take her as a true friend.
However, she understood why Kendall kept the truth from her after she remembered that the man whom Kendall married was Dylan, the man who made her tremble with fear at the mere mention of his name.
I guess it's Master Dylan who decided to keep it a secret.
Who would dare to announce that Dylan is married without his consent?
"My dear Amy, thank you for your trust and concern. I promise you that I will not hide anything that I can tell you from you in the future."
Kendall cheered her friend up. "My dear Amy, do you want to head to the stud for a weekend escapade together?"
"I'll be an idiot if I decline the opportunity to visit the Coleman Family's stud to ride horses. I heard that the Coleman Family also has a private island. If you ever head on a vacation to their private island in the future, you must also bring me with you. I've long thought of taking a glimpse of the island's beautiful scenery in person."
There were too many estates owned by the Coleman Family.
Apart from that, they invested a lot in tourism as well.
However, what attracted others the most was their private vacation spots.
In addition to the stud and private island, there were also summer resorts suitable for summer. It was said that their summer resort retained the beauty of nature to a large extent. The scenery was picturesque, and everything was sufficient there. The houses in the summer resort were all wooden houses. Of course, they were villas made of wood as well.
