Chapter 355
While Kendall sensibly stayed by her parents' side, Kelly pouted and complained to herself in murmurs of whispers. Deep down, she was jealous of Kendall for marrying a decent man like Dylan. Although she knew Kendall would be no different from a widow after marrying Dylan, Dylan managed to make Kendall proud with his decency and grand arrival, which was something Jackson couldn't have done. When Kelly thought about Jackson, she became annoyed because he had been giving her excuses lately to avoid meeting her.
As Kelly was aware that there were only two more days until Jackson and Krystal's wedding, she quickly scrolled through Yasmine's social media news feed, believing that the man she loved had been accompanying Krystal for the past few days. Then, when she saw the wedding pictures they took, she was amazed at how lovely and beautiful they seemed. Nonetheless, her jealousy was slowly gnawing at her mind and taking over her as she couldn't stand seeing the man she loved hugging another woman. Despite her strong urge to sabotage the couple, she did her best to keep a cool head by suppressing her anger. After all, she was sure she would embarrass herself and lose Jackson forever should she succumb to her impulsiveness. Fine, I'm going to just swallow it. Soon, Kelly was suddenly overwhelmed by strange wave of nausea as she covered her mouth and ran into the bathroom.
Seeing that, Nelson and Roger looked at each other in shock. "What's wrong with Kelly, Nell?" Roger expressed his concern.
"God knows what's wrong with her. Maybe she caught a cold or something. In fact, you could tell from her face that she hasn't recovered at all." Nelson added calmly, "She doesn't like us to be busybodies, so you'd better not ask her anything about what you saw, or she is going to start complaining again."
Since Nelson had spent some time with Kelly before, he knew that she was in a relationship with Jackson, which led him to believe that she was pregnant. However, he didn't want to be involved in
Kelly's business since she didn't appreciate him as her brother at all. Thinking Kelly wouldn't be happy if he stepped in, Nelson reckoned he was better off minding his own business. Well, I don't think I should poke my nose in that woman's affair. In fact, why would I do that? It'd only ruin my day.
"Nell, do you think we should go out there and check it out? I've always heard stories about Master Dylan but never really seen him in person." Roger stood up, telling his brother his desire to see Dylan in person.
"So what? He is just a normal human being like us, anyway." Nelson made his way to the door despite his disapproval of Dylan, while Roger followed right behind him. "When you see Master Dylan later, just greet him politely and say nothing more. That man is pretty scary, to be honest. We don't want to be Kendall's liability even if we can't help her." Nelson reminded Roger, worried that his younger brother would blurt out something he shouldn't and ruin Kendall's reputation in front of her parents-in-law.
Although Nelson lived in Woods Family Village, which was far away from the city, Dylan was well known across Orapolis. Therefore, it wasn't hard for him to learn more about Dylan through the news and interviews on the internet. In fact, Nelson stumbled upon some news that reported Dylan was already a married man, which was why the Coleman Family had not paid their in-laws a visit. Because of that, the netizens were all speculating and guessing that Kendall was not liked by Dylan's parents. Upon reading that news, Nelson was mad and angry, tempted to argue with the netizens to stand up for his sister. My little sister is going to live a happy life.
"Alright, I heard you, Nell. You guys have been telling me that since we left home. Come on, man. I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore," Roger said helplessly. The next moment, the two brothers stepped out of the house shortly before they were greeted by Dylan and his family, who happened to exit from their car.
In order to show how important Kendall was to him, Dylan told his brothers and sister to put everything aside just to accompany him. Although Emily was initially reluctant to listen, she eventually gave in and went along with her son, thinking she should embrace the unpleasant truth and respect Dylan's wish to be with Kendall. After all, Kendall was the only person who was able to convince her son to accept his therapy. Because of that, Dylan could now take more than ten steps without the use of his wheelchair.
Therefore, Emily begrudgingly approved of Kendall for her credit in that regard, which was why she agreed to come along with her son to visit Kendall. Upon arrival, Emily seemed to lighten up a little when she saw all of the Parker Family members waiting to welcome them, thinking they must have valued the occasion a lot. I guess my husband is right. Who are we to complain about Kendall's humble origin since the Parker Family doesn't mind accepting our 'disabled' son as their son-in-law? No! Our son is a normal man. This is a complete steal for Kendall, and she should consider herself to be lucky. At the thought of that, Emily's grudge and hatred instantly got the better of her.
"Mom." Alice called out to her mother.
Emily snapped out of her trance, seemingly lightening up a little as a smile appeared on her face. She then put herself in Adam and Charlotte's shoes, thinking she wouldn't like to see her in-laws unhappy when her daughter got married in the future.
"Mom, Kendall looks like an absolute beauty today. Take a look at Dylan. He's never taken his eyes off Kendall at all as if his eyes are glued to her." Alice tried to light up the atmosphere with a joke after noticing the gloomy look on her mother's face because she didn't want Emily's bad mood to ruin Dylan and Kendall's day.
"Yasmine was pretty that night during her birthday celebration, wasn’t she?" Although Emily didn't
attend Yasmine's birthday celebration, she knew Kendall dressed herself up beautifully. Besides, she subsequently heard from her friends that Kendall was actually a beauty herself if she dressed herself up seriously.
Alice smiled and replied, "Yeah. Yeah, Kendall was a beauty as well that night. She even nearly stole Yasmine's limelight."
"No matter how pretty she is, she is still no match for my daughter," Emily happily said, feeling proud of her children's good looks.
"Mom." Alice smiled in embarrassment.
"Mr. and Mrs. Coleman." Adam and his wife approached Dylan's parents with a smiling face.
Meanwhile, Alice made the sensible move of keeping quiet while Emily proudly stood beside her husband. As Dylan and Kendall's parents met, they went on to exchange a few words of pleasantries. Then, the Coleman Family's bodyguards began unloading the stuff from the vehicle as Adam gazed at Fergus and said, "Mr. Coleman, you didn't have to bring so many gifts with you. You're simply too kind."
"It's not a lot, actually. We hope you like them." Fergus smiled.
"You're too kind, Mr. Coleman."
In the meantime, the Parker Family's neighbors were amazed by the Coleman Family's generosity in presenting so many presents to them. Looking at the expensive gifts that Dylan brought for Kendall's parents, they began to dispel the doubts they previously had toward Kendall, whom they thought was struggling to gain the favor of her parents-in-law. After all, they reckoned Dylan wouldn't have prepared
so many gifts if his parents hadn't approved of Kendall. At that moment, they all believed that the rumors must have come from those who wanted to see Kendall embarrassed because they were jealous of her. Furthermore, Kendall had been getting along well with the neighbors ever since she returned to the Parker Family. Therefore, she was more well-liked than Kelly because of her subtlety and easy-going nature, although she was raised in a rural village.
"Mom, Dad." Kendall greeted her parents-in-law decently. After hearing an affirmative hum from them, she went on to introduce her foster parents. "Mom, Dad, they are my foster parents." After all, she noticed the awkward smiles on her foster parents' faces while her biological parents were too busy ingratiating themselves with her parents-in-law. Well, maybe it didn't occur to my biological parents to introduce my foster parents to my in-laws. Deep down, Kendall attributed that to the intimidation that Adam and Charlotte had for her parents-in-law. Thinking she should give her biological parents the benefit of the doubt, she went ahead and introduced her foster parents to her parents-in-law.
