"Jackson, you're the reason why I'm acting so irrationally!" Deep down, Kelly blamed Jackson for having taken away her virginity. Although she could have lived with Brian, whom she deemed to be her back-up, for the rest of her life happily and decently, she didn't do that and instead ended up staying by Jackson's side, not to mention the fact that she was subsequently pregnant with his child. "Let me tell you something, Jackson. You can forget about living your life in peace because I'm going to make sure you suffer every single day!" Kelly hung up the call as son as she finished her words. The next moment, she crouched down on the balcony and covered her face, sobbing with a broken heart.
At that moment, Kelly recalled the words Jackson said to her earlier about how she used to be calm and collected instead of succumbing to her emotions. I used to be the Parker Family's only daughter and the apple of my parents' eye. I had a bright future behind me, but now, I'm no more than the Parker Family's foster daughter. My future is doomed now. Although Kelly's foster parents treated her well, she was unhappy to share their love with Kendall because Kendall was their biological daughter. For that, it seemed to her that her future was getting bleak and uncertain as she could no longer achieve her goal. No! I mustn't lose what's mine! I must take over the Parker Corporation for myself and inherit what's rightfully mine. Even the emperor in the ancient times had to sacrifice countless lives before he became the ruler of his kingdom. Kelly reckoned she had to be cunning enough, in order to make Adam hand over Parker Corporation to her so that she could be the company's president. After all, she had a feeling that Adam was going to transfer her to Albarife so that she could make way for Kendall.
Ring! Ring! Suddenly, Kelly heard her phone ringing and checked out the caller, realizing it was Jackson. She then stood up and wiped off her tears, whereupon she calmly accepted Jackson's call. Soon, Jackson apologized to her as she said, "Look, Jackson. I'm sorry about what I said to you earlier. Please don't take it to heart. We went through a lot before we got this far, so we mustn't give up. Don't worry. I won't ruin your wedding."
After that, Jackson went on to coax Kelly with some sweet-talking before hanging up the call. In the meantime, Kelly dialed Brian's number as soon as the tele-conversation ended. "Are you free now, Brian?"
"I'm free anytime. Just tell me when and where." Brian was flattered to see Kelly making the first move to contact him.
"In that case, I'll meet you at Urban Break then. I have a business deal that you might be interested in, and I promise you're going to gain something out of it."
Brian was disappointed when Kelly told him that she wanted to meet him for business. However, he was still happy that he was able to spend some time with Kelly in private. Thus, he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll head to Urban Break now."
"Brian, I might be a little late, so you don't have to be there early." Kelly wanted to impress her parents before leaving home.
"It's okay. I'll be waiting for you, no matter how long it takes." Brian smiled, insinuating his feelings for Kelly behind his words, putting a bright grin on the lady’s face almost instantly.
"I know you're a patient man, Brian." Little did she know that the man whom she treated as a back-up was the one who actually loved her, yet she would rather devote her love to a playboy like Jackson. Meanwhile, Brian lost himself when he heard the lady's compliment.
On the other hand, Kendall had a question for Dylan when they were on their way back to the Coleman Residence. "Did you have doubts about my innocence when you saw Jackson?"
Dylan tilted his head and fixed his gaze upon the lady. "Am I the kind of person who knows nothing about justice to you? Don't forget—I confirmed Kelly's pregnancy for you, so I'm sure who the father of her child is." Dylan then pinched his wife's cheek lovingly and added, "But I was happy to see you splashing that bucket of water at Jackson." Haha! I nearly laughed in tears.
Deep down, Dylan was forgiving enough to accept Kendall's past relationship with Jackson, knowing that he was the only man Kendall loved now. Therefore, he was happy when Kendall splashed the bucket of water at Jackson, even wanting to clap for her. "Well, your parents might have misunderstood the situation." After all, Kendall saw Emily talking to Jackson before she left with Fergus in the car. Thus, she had a bad feeling that all her effort would go to waste because of that.
However, Dylan quickly wrapped his arm around Kendall, letting her head rest on his shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll make sure my parents will see the truth." In fact, Dylan had been secretly planning a revenge for Kendall as he had numerous pieces of evidence that could prove that Kelly and Jackson were a couple. With that, he could easily prove to his parents and dispel their doubts about Kendall's innocence.
"If the worst comes to the worst, I could show your mom the video of Kelly and Jackson's fun time in the wilderness, but I don't want to hurt your mom's eyes." My mother-in-law is the actual woman who is hard to please here.
"Save that video for their wedding in two days. Think of it as a surprise that you prepared for their wedding." Dylan's eyes turned cold. Deep down, he was determined to seek justice for Kendall by destroying Jackson and Kelly's reputation while taking everything they had away from them. However, Dylan didn't want them to lose everything in one shot. Instead, he wanted to give them hope and let them think they had won, only to shatter their sweet dream later. After all, he believed Jackson and
Kelly would be so devastated by the disappointment of losing the victory they thought they had secured that they would never come back again. Little did anyone know that was what Dylan liked to do to his enemies.
"Darling, what does your mother like?"
"What's wrong? Are you worried about how to gain your mother-in-law's favor now?" Dylan chuckled.
"We both don't know much about each other, which is a catalyst for misunderstandings that may even be serious enough to undermine my relationship with your mother-in-law, as well as our marriage." Kendall sincerely added, "I'm your wife, as well as the person who's going to spend the rest of the life with you. So, I can't be hiding behind your back all the time. Thus, I'm going to learn how to fit in among your family members, so that we both can live a happy life forever. If this causes frequent arguments between us, it's going to take a toll on our marriage, no matter how close we are to each other. I know your mother was unhappy when I didn't agree to marry you earlier, but I will prove it with my actions that I truly love you. As for the sudden change in my personal development, I'll figure out a reason to convince your mother about that."
Dylan replied in a tender manner, "With me around, you won't have to think of a reason for that. Just spend more time with my mother, and I bet both of you are going to get along with each other well. She is just bored after all since she has everything in her life but nothing she really likes doing in particular." Because of that, Dylan reckoned his mother merely needed someone to accompany her. "But Honey, when you're with my mom, you mustn't forget about me. Okay? Because I'm your husband, and I'm the one with whom you're going to spend the rest of your life."
It looks like Dylan is worried that I'd forget about him. He tends to get jealous. "Don't worry. You're always the first in my heart all the time." Kendall smiled in embarrassment.
"Really?"
"If I lied to you, my pants will be on fire."
"That won’t happen even if you lie to me."
"What do you want from me then?" Kendall gulped and asked.
"My mom said something to me before we set off for your house this morning."
"What was it?" Kendall asked.
"My mom will accept you only if she could have a granddaughter, and it has to be the firstborn."
Kendall was rendered speechless upon hearing the man's words. What's the meaning of this? Am I being pressured to bear a daughter?
