"Yes, yes, yes. This is all my fault. Darling, please forgive me!"
Dylan knew that she was exhausted and repeatedly apologized.
"What time is it now?"
Kendall had already let off steam, so her anger had also dissipated. She knew what he meant by this. "It's still early. It's 7.00AM."
"What time are your parents departing?"
Dylan thought for a moment before he answered, "It should be after 9.30AM. Darling, you can sleep a little longer until it's 9.00AM. I'll get Henry to send you back."
Kendall had thought of this too, but right at this moment, her mother called her.
After she signaled for Dylan to keep quiet, she answered the phone.
"Kendall, return home earlier today. Although you and Master Dylan have already gotten your marriage certificate, you two haven't had your wedding yet. So you should stay at our place when the parents of the two families meet for the first time. When you're home, I'll help you choose a set of nice clothes to wear and put on some make-up for you. You've never dressed up on your own."
The Parkers had held the first meeting with the in-laws very highly.
Charlotte knew her daughter's shortcomings very well, so she urged her to return home earlier.
"Mom, I know. I'll return as soon as I get up."
The outsiders seemed to be more worried than the people involved. And currently, the outsiders were Kendall's parents.
As a matter of fact, she had learned how to wear makeup. She would take the initiative to wear light makeup on important occasions.
Still, she would be makeup-free at home. It wasn't like her husband didn't like her natural beauty after all.
After Kendall ended the call, she turned and spoke to Dylan in resignation, "My parents are even more anxious than I am."
Then, she poked his chest. "Look at what you've done."
With an apologetic look on his face, he took the initiative to bring her clothes to her. "I've asked Henry to make you some tonic soup. You can leave after you've had some of it."
"Okay."
"Are you going over with your parents?"
"I can accompany you over first if you want me to. If you want me to wait for my parents, I'm also okay with that. I'll do whatever you say. In this house, you have the final say," Dylan said fondly.
His very apparent attitude in pleasing her lifted her spirits as well.
Although her waist was still a little sore and her legs were still weak, it didn't affect her movements.
"You should go with your parents."
Dylan was disappointed to hear this. "Being away from you for a few hours will make me miss you like crazy."
"Aren't we apart on most days when you're working in your office while I worked in mine? Why have I not heard you say that you've gone crazy missing me?"
He didn't know what to say upon hearing that.
When Kendall noticed this, she pinched his mouth. "All men do is lie to women."
Now, he really didn't know how to answer her.
After the couple chatted for a while longer, she drank the soup and left the house with Dylan by her side. Then, under his watch, she got into her car and left for her parents' house.
There, she would wait for the arrival of her in-laws.
It was 8.00AM when she arrived at the Parker Residence.
"Kendall."
Before she left the vehicle, Kendall noticed a familiar figure coming out of the house. Surprised and delighted, she quickly got out of the car and walked over.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
It was Sally.
"Mom, are your injuries healed?" Kendall asked in concern as she reached out to support Sally.
"I'm all healed now. Nevertheless, I can't do any heavy work. Other than that, it doesn't disrupt my daily life at all."
Sally's smile was as bright as the sun because she did not expect Dylan to arrange transport for her to come over last night.
Now that Kendall had returned to her biological parents, they knew that the Parkers were a wealthy family. The Colemans were even more of a wealthy family whereas the Woods were nothing in comparison to the two other families.
Yet, Dylan still showed respect toward the Woods, and because of this, Sally's affection toward him grew even more.
"Mom, you shouldn't be doing any more heavy work. Rather, you should spend your days resting. Tell me if you need money, and I'll send some to you."
"You send me so much money every month; I don't even need that much. So, I kept all of it. When you and Dylan get married, I'll use it for your dowry."
Kendall was touched to hear this. "Mom, I don't need all that."
Her biological parents would prepare her dowry, and Dylan would definitely make sure that her dowry wasn't shabby.
"I know you don't, but it's a little something from me."
Finally, Sally took Kendall's hand and scrutinized her before saying in distress, "You ignore your food once you're busy. You look like you've lost weight. You must eat and sleep well. There's nothing more important than eating well."
"Mom, I've been eating all three meals. I think I even gained some weight."
How could she be thin if she followed Dylan around and ate all the different delicacies?
It seemed like it was a common issue for mothers who hadn't seen their children for quite some time. They would always think their children had lost weight.
"Master Dylan had arranged for someone to pick us up last night, and it's not just your dad and me. Your two older brothers are here too. Master Dylan said that today is the day when both sides of the parents meet, and it's an important day. So, he brought us here. Kendall, Master Dylan is really kind to you. He's a thoughtful man as well."
As Sally said all this, she let out a sigh.
This was the biggest surprise that Dylan had prepared for Kendall today.
Kendall murmured something under her breath, but Sally couldn't hear it.
This man can really give his all when it comes to someone he likes. He clearly displayed his affection for Kendall in everything he did.
It was no wonder so many women liked him.
It was also no wonder that Kendall had fallen for him so quickly.
Even ten of her couldn't resist his tenderness.
"Mom, let us go in." Kendall helped Sally into the house.
Alas, once they reached the entrance, Sally quickly released Kendall's hand.
Kendall knew that Sally was afraid that Kendall's biological mother would be unhappy at the sight.
As for Kelly, she didn't return from the company today.
"Daddy," Kendall called out.
The two fathers who were chatting on the couch reacted to her call at the same time.
Then, Adam and Saul looked at each other and laughed.
Compared to Charlotte's wariness of how the Woods might affect her relationship with Kendall, Adam
was more generous.
After all, the Woods raised their daughter.
The Parkers themselves were still reluctant to part with Kelly, so it was only natural that the Woods would feel the same about Kendall.
Adam knew that they should be grateful to the Woods. The Woods never abused Kendall. Instead, they regarded her as their own daughter and raised her wholeheartedly, with all the love and care they could give. Although the family's financial situation wasn't as good as the Parkers', it wasn't their fault.
Not everyone was as rich as the Parkers.
"Mommy." Kendall called out to Charlotte. She was worried that Charlotte would be unhappy that Sally went out to greet her. So, she stepped forward to hold Charlotte's arms and said coquettishly, "Mommy, I haven't seen you in two days. I've missed you so much."
Acting in this manner was a helpful trick, especially when it came to parents.
This immediately melted the sadness in Charlotte's heart as she smiled. "You're always so sweet. If you miss me, you can come home anytime. Otherwise, you just have to call Mommy, and I will go to the company to look for you."
Then, she reached out to caress Kendall's face in distress. "You must've been busy. It seems like you've lost weight. Are you not eating well?"
I guess it really is a common issue with mothers, Kendall thought.
As long as their children were out of sight for a few days, their mothers would always think their child had slimmed down and was not eating well.
Unfortunately, Roger had always been a blunt man as he asked in confusion, "Do you guys all think that Kendall had lost weight? Why do I feel like she has gained some weight?"
