Sally's smile appeared more natural at this point. "Have fun! I'll give Kendall a call another time."
"Mom, if there's anything you want to tell her, you can tell me too. I can pass on the message to her for you, or I can ask her to give you a call once she's awake."
"Oh, it's nothing. I wanted to kill some time by chatting with her."
Sally missed her daughter, but Dylan didn't bother to find out which one. After all, Kelly and Kendall were her daughters, so naturally, she would worry about them.
"Mom, you can talk with me too." He tried to speak more gently so as not to frighten her, as both of his in-laws' mothers had been cautious around him.
Sally stayed quiet and asked, "Is Kendall doing well these days?"
Now that he had said it that way, it would not be polite for her to hang up on him immediately. All she could talk about with him was Kendall.
"She's really doing well. She is working, taking lessons, and occasionally interfering in the affairs of others, so it is safe to say that she is as busy as a bee."
Sally sighed and added, "This girl has this temperament and enjoys meddling in other people's affairs. Master Dylan, you should speak to her nicely and try to keep her under control, so she doesn't offend others. Back then, I made sure she took self-defense classes like sanda and taekwondo so she could defend herself if necessary. Who would have thought she'd use what she'd learned to fight injustice and get involved in other people's lives?"
Dylan smiled. "It's not wrong for Kendall to do what she does as long as she doesn't hurt herself while helping others."
If she does offend others, it does not matter because she is my woman. Even if she angers everyone in Orapolis, she has no reason to worry because I am by her side, and she has me behind her back.
Sally was at a loss for words as she wished her frigid son-in-law would rein in her daughter's temper and prevent her from getting into trouble on the spur of the moment. Nonetheless, he was being permissive.
"Mom, are you feeling better now?" Dylan asked, recalling Sally's car accident. However, after leaving the hospital, a period of recovery at home was necessary.
"I'm better now, but I can't do any heavy work yet." Sally was upset because there was a lot of work in the countryside. The Woods Family owned a few paddy fields and two acres of peanut plantation land. It was harvest time for both plants, but her body was in such bad shape that she couldn't help. People like her, who were used to working, are naturally irritable.
"Mom, your health comes first; work can wait, or we can hire someone to help."
"Well, I'm not working out in the field. Saul, Nelson, and his brother are in charge of harvesting. After the harvesting work is done, Nelson will look for a job in Orapolis."
Nelson could stop worrying about Kendall. He planned to forge his path in Orapolis and became Kendall's anchor. The Coleman Family's expectations were too high, and she would be an easy target
if she did not have a supporter.
Dylan raised an eyebrow when he heard that before asking calmly, "Is Nell coming over to look for a job? Didn't Kendall let him manage the training institute? Who will take care of it if he's not there?"
Kendall has put in a lot of effort to build the training institute, and she still talks about it.
He didn't want Nelson to visit Orapolis because Nelson's feelings for her went beyond those of a brother and sister. He had to be wary of his brother-in-law, Nelson, even if her feelings for him were purely platonic.
"Roger can manage the training institute. He has so happened quit his job." Sally knew what Dylan was thinking and quickly explained in her son's stead, "Master Dylan, Nelson just thinks that he's still young and should give it a shot in the city for some experience. H-He won't bother you and Kendall."
She knew that Nelson's feelings for Kendall had evolved to a new level. Dylan had also noticed it. She was concerned that Dylan would hurt Nelson as a result of this.
"Mom, since Nell is Kendall's brother, he is also my brother. I'll make arrangements for him now that I know he's coming to the city to look for a job. Don't worry; I'll find Nell a comfortable and well-paying job."
Nelson does not have a very high level of education, so he can't work at Coleman Empire Holdings. Because of this, he has no chance of getting a job there. However, there is a job that fits him; he can be the head of security! Well, a comfortable position with a high salary should suit Nell. Dylan had already formulated a plan to counter his "love rival."
"Thank you, Dylan, but I think I'll decline your offer. I know Nelson's personality very well. He dislikes having others pull a few strings for him. Give him the opportunity to fence on his own. You do not need to assist him. This way, the path he made will truly belong to him." Sally politely declined the offer on behalf of her son.
"I'll reserve the position for Nell; he can come in any time." Dylan actually wanted to keep an eye on him so he could prevent him from meeting Kendall privately.
Nelson was a wise man who genuinely wished the best for Kendall. He had a sense of propriety. On the other hand, Dylan felt envious when he thought about Nell's love for Kendall.
"Thank you, Master Dylan."
"Mom, we're a family, so you don't have to be so formal. Soon, Kendall and I will visit you." Dylan did not forget what he said he would do. The only thing he needed to do was time.
Kendall would be unable to return home the following Saturday, making it the perfect day to exact revenge on Jackson and Kelly.
"I know you're all busy, but you don't have to rush back and forth. Just knowing how well you are is enough for me. Dylan, Kendall is a nice girl—"
"I'll take good care of her, Mom." In fact, he had over-pampered Kendall. Even she kept complaining about how he spoiled her.
The wife deserves to be lavished with love!
Sally chuckled at his satisfactory response. "You should go back to Kendall's house with her often. After all, they're her biological parents. She needs to spend more time with them to strengthen their relationship, which will benefit everyone."
When Kendall was first reunited with the Parker Family, she was not accustomed to living a wealthy lifestyle. Therefore, she did not have a close relationship with either of her birth parents. Consequently, she kept returning to the Woods Family. Charlotte's jealousy was stoked by the thought of her biological daughter returning to the Woodses. So, she went and found them and expressed her desire for them to break contact with Kendall without her knowledge.
Kendall was affectionate, and neither Charlotte nor the Woods Family could keep her from returning to her home.
Sally was worried that Kendall's behavior would cause a rift between her and her parents, which wouldn't be good for her. Also, Kelly had animosity toward Kendall.
"Alright. I will. Don't worry about it, Mom."
Sally grinned sheepishly. "Sigh, look at me nagging at you."
"I enjoy having a casual conversation with you, Mom." Telling him about essential and trivial matters demonstrated how he was perceived as a family member.
Her grin broadened as she realized her usually frigid son-in-law was acting more like a normal human being simply because he loved Kendall.
Kendall will be blessed! Sally's deepest wish as a mother was that her daughter would be content.
However, there was always a chink in the armor. She decided that in the future, she would suggest that the young couple adopt a child from an orphanage. It could help Dylan's recovery and strengthen their relationship.
