Jackson said somewhat reluctantly, "Kelly, I can't eat or sleep well without seeing you every day." Having gotten his thrills from sleeping with Kelly, he became addicted to it and could not resist the temptation to find an opportunity to make love to her.
Kelly replied nonchalantly, "I'm going to miss you too. By the way, Jackson, did you see the trending topics on the internet? My mom said that Master Dylan and Kendall have officially announced their marriage. They actually registered their marriage a long time ago, yet we have known nothing about it! They really got us good." Her words were filled with hatred and jealousy toward Kendall.
He was stunned on the spot upon hearing. "Kelly, is what your mom said true?" He was unwilling to believe that Kendall, who was infatuated with him previously, had married Dylan instead.
"My mom said that their marriage was officially announced on the Twitter account of Coleman Empire Holdings. The artists under contract to those subsidiary companies of Coleman Empire Holdings also retweeted the announcement, after which the announcement became trending on Twitter," Kelly explained in jealousy. "Jackson, I think Kendall probably married Master Dylan to contend with me for the Parker Corporation. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dumped you and married him instead. Who doesn't know the state Master Dylan is in? She must've married an impotent husband for a purpose."
If it's true, then there's still hope for me to have Kendall all to myself and let her continue to bring more prosperity until I seize the right to inherit Whittle Holdings, thought Jackson. However, after recalling how cold-hearted Kendall was toward him, he started to doubt that the marriage was only an act of hers. Or maybe, she was doing that to protect me, so that Master Dylan won't sort me out. Regardless of his health condition, he is too proud to believe that his wife would have dealings with other men. Wait, that's wrong; Whittle Holdings has been given a hard time by Coleman Empire Holdings these days. Many of Whittle Holdings' business partners have terminated their collaboration with us and
embraced Coleman Empire Holdings, whereas those who failed to get a collaboration with Coleman Empire Holdings have turned to us instead. Luckily, Zorn Holdings intends to help us, or it'd be pointless for me to marry Krystal.
"Jackson, are you still listening?"
"Kelly, rest early. I'm gonna check out Coleman Empire Holdings' official Twitter account, so I gotta go," Jackson said before hanging up. He did not want to believe that Kendall sincerely wanted to marry Dylan. No matter how great Dylan was, he was impotent. Kendall used to love me very much and always did whatever I said. Is she really willing to let go?
"Jackson! Jackson!" Kelly was rather angry; she felt that he was not completely indifferent to Kendall.
In any case, many people were so angry that they could not sleep that night.
On the other hand, Dylan and Kendall slept very well.
Kendall was roused from sleep by the sound of the rain pattering against the window. "Dylan, is it raining?"
"Uh-huh," Dylan mumbled as he stretched out his arm and enveloped her in a hug. He held her tight in his arms for a moment before finally releasing her. Then, he turned over and got out of bed.
Kendall was reluctant to part with him, though; no sooner had she felt his affection, he had let go of her. She liked to lay in his arms and listen to his heartbeat while getting a whiff of his scent. Whenever she was in his arms, she felt at peace, as if time had stopped and she did not have to worry about anything.
She wondered if Dylan felt the same way as well. "Dylan?" she called out to him.
"I'm going to the washroom," Dylan said without letting her notice his strange behavior. He was most easily aroused in the early morning.
She mumbled a reply before watching him stagger his way to the washroom. Not wanting to go back to sleep after waking up, she got up and checked the time. It was only 6:30AM, which was still early. She walked to the window and pulled the heavy curtains apart before pushing the window open. She shuddered as she was greeted by the fresh and chilly air.
The temperature in the room was quite low. Dylan liked to turn down the temperature and cover himself with a blanket while sleeping.
Seeing that the residual heatwave from yesterday had long since been washed away by the cool weather outside, Kendall decided to turn off the air conditioner.
Since the room was on the first floor, as she looked through the window, she could see the small backyard where evergreen trees were grown. There was also a sizable lawn, which was green as far as the eye could see. Having been washed by the rain, it looked even greener.
"Why are you standing by the window?" After Dylan came out of the washroom, he went over to her side. Then, he closed the window and drew the curtains.
"It's not that cold. Besides, I've turned off the room's air conditioner." Kendall turned around and naturally put her arms around Dylan’s neck as he was much taller than her when he stood. "Dylan, how tall are you?"
"Not so tall. Around 185 centimeters, I suppose."
"Not so tall, you say? You're putting those men who are around 160 centimeters tall to shame!"
Hugging her around the waist, Dylan asked in a gentle voice, "Would you like to sleep for a while longer?"
Kendall breathed in his face while looking at him with seductive eyes. In a coquettish manner, she said, "If you can carry me back to bed, then I'll sleep with you for a while longer."
As soon as she said so, Dylan scooped her up in his arms.
She never thought he would actually carry her up. She hurriedly struggled to get down. "Dylan, I was just joking! Hurry and put me down!" Your legs haven't healed completely yet!
"Don't move, Kendall! Or else you’d fall onto the floor," he said in a deep, husky voice while slowly moving toward the bed with her in his arms. "I may not be able to walk more than a few meters, but I'm still strong enough to carry you in my arms."
Kendall dared not move about, fearing that she and Dylan would fall over if she did so. She did not mind falling over herself, but she feared that his legs' injuries would worsen.
The bed was only several meters away from the window, but it took Dylan a few minutes to reach the bed. He bent over and settled the pretty woman in his arms down onto the bed, watching how her beautiful hair fanned out over the pillow as she laid on her back with her fine and delicate features on full display. She looked very seductive this way.
She found herself blushing under his intense gaze.
When he saw her face flushing, he was dumbfounded for a moment. The next instant, he got amused and teased her, saying, "I never thought you'd blush too, Kendall. I thought you were as bold as brass."
Kendall tried to sit up, but Dylan pushed her back onto the bed before sitting down next to her. "Sleep with me for another while." Then, he lay down. "I slept very well last night. I didn't even have a single dream."
She snuggled up to him while blowing her own trumpet, saying, "It's definitely because I gave you a goodnight kiss to wish you sweet dreams before we went to sleep last night."
"I know I've just said that you're as bold as brass, but now I think you're bolder than that."
Kendall let out a chuckle. "Shouldn't I be given credit for that? Fine then, tonight I won't be giving you a goodnight kiss or wish you sweet dreams anymore."
As soon as she said that, the man next to her grabbed her chin and raised it, forcing her to meet his dark eyes. She heard Dylan say imperiously, "Not only do I want a goodnight kiss, I also want to be kissed in the morning and at noon. From today onward, you have to kiss me at least three times every single day."
