"All of these are too far ahead. Let's talk about it once we have children," Dylan said in a self- deprecating manner.
Kendall wanted them to have children earlier in life, but when she considered the current state of affairs, she swallowed back her words.
Both of them had agreed not to have a child for now, but of course, if she became pregnant because of that one time last night, then she would give birth to the baby.
However, she felt that it happened during her safe period and was only one time, so she wouldn't get pregnant.
After they strolled around a little longer, they returned to the hotel to rest for the night.
The happy weekend came to an end very quickly, and when Monday came, everyone either went back to work or school, returning to their daily lives.
As Kendall wanted to visit her parents, she left the house early, and today, her husband would be accompanying her back home.
By the time they reached Parker Residence, it was only 7.00AM. So it was coincidentally time for Adam to have his breakfast.
In the past, it was always the servants who prepared breakfast, but because Kelly had hurt her adopted parent's feelings from what she said, she hadn't left the mansion for the past couple of days and was trying her best to patch up her relationship with them. Hence, she woke up early today and personally
prepared a delicious breakfast for them.
The moment she heard footsteps resonating from the staircase, she walked out of the kitchen with an apron and smiled when she saw Adam. "Morning, Dad. I just made breakfast."
"In the past, you used to hate the smell of cooking in the kitchen. So why did you force yourself to prepare breakfast for us?" Adam asked flatly.
Kelly continued smiling as she said, "People change. Now, I really like to prepare breakfast for you and Mom. Is she awake yet?"
"She doesn't have to go to work, so she's not waking up so early. So don't disturb her, and let her rest a little longer." His tone was still a little stoic. "For the past couple of days, she didn't rest well at all."
Even after they had found and acknowledged their biological daughter, they had poured out real emotions when raising Kelly as their own for more than twenty years, and now that she had hurt her feelings so badly, there was no way she could sleep well at night.
"Sir, Miss Kelly." A servant rushed over, and after seeing them, she said anxiously, "Sir, M-Master Dylan is here again!"
The servants in the Parkers' household were still terrified of Dylan's aloof attitude despite knowing that he was Kendall's husband.
A startled Adam asked, "Is he alone? Isn't Kendall with him?"
She gave him a nervous nod. "Miss Kendall is here as well."
Adam breathed a sigh of relief. As long as both of them come together, then they're not here to complain.
If Dylan were ever to hear this from Adam, he would surely inquire when he had ever appeared just to complain?
When Kelly saw Adam personally welcoming the couple, she grabbed the apron and tugged so hard at it as though she wanted to tear it to shreds.
In the past, Adam looked at her with pride and loved her the most. But now, when he heard that Kendall was here, he stepped down from his high horse as an elder and welcomed them in person.
She merely married a paralyzed eunuch, she thought. What's so great about that? So what if Kendall is now the Young Mistress of the Coleman Family? The women in that family aren't people to be trifled with. Her tough days are still ahead.
There was no way she would believe Kendall would be willing to spend the rest of her life with an impotent man.
While Kendall pushed Dylan into the house, Ronnie and the others had their hands full of other things. Those were the gifts Amos had prepared for Dylan because he thought that the couple shouldn't return to Kendall's home empty-handed.
"Hi, Dad," Kendall greeted sweetly when she saw Adam welcoming them.
"Dad," Dylan greeted solemnly as well.
Initially, Adam really wanted to hide his emotions, but he couldn't hold them back, and a smile appeared on his face. So, he decided to give up the ruse and smiled freely.
"Yeah, welcome. You probably haven't had breakfast yet. What good timing! You should join us for breakfast."
When he saw the bodyguards carrying so many things, he asked, "Just come in. Why did you bring so many things with you? We aren't lacking anything at home."
At the very least, the Parkers were a wealthy family that really didn't lack anything.
As Kendall pushed her husband and followed her father into the house, she smiled and said, "That's what I said, that we don't have to bring so many things, but Dylan kept insisting. He said that it's the first time we're returning together, so we shouldn't come back empty-handed."
Back then, she either came back alone or with Dylan's bodyguards.
"This is courtesy," Dylan said softly.
Adam chuckled. "You're too kind, Dylan."
"Dad, is Mom still sleeping?"
"Once she hears your voice, she will be downstairs in less than ten minutes."
The only comfort for the Parker couple was their biological daughter was becoming more sensible and closer to them.
"Hi, Dylan and Kendall," Kelly greeted them at the entrance to the dining room because she didn't dare to get close to Dylan.
For some reason, she was terrified of this man even though she had no argument with him. Her legs would turn into jelly and tremble whenever his icy cold eyes stared at her.
"I've just made breakfast. Both of you must not have eaten yet, have you? Let's—Ugh!"
Before she could even finish speaking, she suddenly retched and quickly covered her mouth as she dashed into the bathroom.
All of a sudden, the living room fell into pin-drop silence.
"Dad, I'm going to check on Kelly," Kendall said, breaking the silence.
Soon, she was in the bathroom, and she even locked the door while Kelly was sprawled over the washbasin, retching nonstop.
Kendall crossed her arms, leaned against the door, and watched as Kelly threw up violently. "Your reaction is really strong," she pointed out with a faint smirk. "Hasn't it only been five or six weeks?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Kelly asked in a low growl traced with hate after forcefully stopping her retching.
"Aren't you pregnant with Jackson Whittle's child? Do you think you can keep this from me?"
Kendall sauntered closer as she uncrossed her arms from her chest and placed them on Kelly's shoulders. "I'm the one who told Mom about your pregnancy," she whispered next to her ears.
Kelly wanted to shove Kendall away but she saw that coming. So, she merely leaned to the side and avoided the blow.
"Kendall Parker, so you're the one who told Mom and Dad about this!" Kelly glared at her with daggers in her eyes and wanted to strangle Kendall with every fiber of her being. Still, very quickly, her expression changed, and she started mocking Kendall instead, "You're just jealous and spiteful, aren't you? You once loved Jackson so much and thought of marrying him, but unfortunately, he didn't love you. The only reason he dated you was because I showed you courtesy. After all, I took over your position and enjoyed the love from your biological parents, and I feel that I owe you. Master Dylan and you…Hmph, both of you will never have a child. Kendall Parker, you're just jealous and spiteful."
All Kendall felt was amusement in the face of Kelly's yapping. Why does everyone think that I'm pitiful to have married Dylan when I've clearly married a wonderful man?
"So what if Jackson really loves you? He'll be having his wedding in just a few more days, and the bride isn't you, Kelly Parkson. Even if you're pregnant with his child, it's destined to be a bastard once it's born!"
In both lifetimes, it couldn't change its destiny as a bastard. Some things would remain the same even if she were reborn.
