Tilly's gaze toward Kendall was much gentler now.
With Tilly's permission, Scott rushed toward the handsome man and woman like a happy bird.
"Mr. Dylan."
The first thing the little boy did was to throw himself into Dylan's embrace.
He was not afraid at all. He ran in front of Dylan, climbed onto the man's thigh at once, and sat down naturally in his arms.
Dylan instinctively hugged this small boy, and it was rare that he did not shove the boy away immediately.
"Mr. Dylan, I've missed you so much. I haven't seen you for a few days. Mr. Dylan, you look better than my father."
Scott's words were as sweet as honey, and it made everyone's hearts melt. Since one could not possibly be angry at someone who was being nice, no matter how upset Dylan was, his stiffness melted a bit when faced with the innocent boy.
He pinched Scott's mouth lightly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days too. How much honey have you eaten? Why is your mouth so sweet?"
Scott's big black eyes glinted, and his childish voice was clear and sweet. "I ate a lot of candy when I came, and my father said that I would get cavities if I continued to eat them."
Dylan looked at Eric, who smiled apologetically at him.
The former didn't want to pay any attention to him.
What a terrible guy who spoils his son!
It was Eric's business if he wanted to spoil his own son, but it was inappropriate to disturb Dylan and Kendall's relationship.
"Don't eat too much sugar. If your tooth decays, you will not look good," Dylan said gently.
"I'll listen to you, Mr. Dylan."
Scott was really smart. He knew that Dylan didn't really like him following Kendall around. If he wanted permission to stay for a few days, he had to use his cuteness to make Dylan happy first. This way, he could naturally be allowed to stay.
He cried for a long time before his father reluctantly agreed to let him stay at the Coleman Residence for summer vacation with Kendall.
After solving the issue with his father, he had to win Dylan's heart too.
When the others from the Coleman Family watched Dylan hug Scott, it became a very warm scene, and they couldn't help but imagine Dylan becoming a father in the future.
Scott stayed in Dylan's arms and only smiled at Kendall when Dylan was not paying attention.
After a while, Eric brought Scott home. The father and son came here mainly to thank Kendall. Eric gratefully relayed that his son was the apple of his eye, and also the precious descendant of the Ford Family. When his son met an accident, their family thought that the sky was about to collapse.
Kendall not only saved his son, but also their family.
Tilly looked at Kendall with a kind expression on her face and said, "Whoever encounters such a thing will come to the victim's rescue. However, at that time, it was indeed fortunate that the person was Kendall from our family. If it were someone else, they might not have succeeded in saving Scott. God is merciful, and your ancestors looked after Scott as well. Moreover, Scott is smart too, so the bad guys failed to take him."
Eric knew Kendall's skills from his son, and he said gratefully, "Yes, it was fortunate that Scott met Kendall and was rescued by her. Scott said that she is very mighty, and he praised her all the way home."
Kendall said embarrassedly, "It's just a small gesture. You're too polite, and you have thanked me more than once."
The only reason she was able to save Scott was by virtue of her reincarnation, and her purpose was to make the Ford Family owe her a favor and become acquaintances with them.
After the incident, the development took an unexpected turn as Scott became very close to her. In fact, the little boy liked her so much that she didn't need to use the rescue to make acquaintances with the Ford Family; they associated with her on their own accord.
"For saving his life, no amount of thanks is not enough to repay it. If you have any favors and need us to help in the future, just say the word."
Eric had already given Kendall a business card. When Kendall needed the Ford Family, she simply needed to take out his card, and the Ford Family would do everything in their power to help her.
"We have prepared some thank you gifts, but it's not much. We hope that you will accept it."
Everyone was stunned.
It's not much? Eric had sent so many thank-you gifts that the Coleman Family was amazed by the wealth of the Ford Family.
"Eric, you're too gracious."
Kendall did not expressly reject Eric's promise. After all, this was her original intention when she saved Scott. Now that she had gotten Eric's promise, why should she reject it?
Eric picked up his son and looked at Dylan and his wife. His handsome face was a little unnatural when he said to the couple, "Dylan, Kendall, I have another request. Scott is on summer vacation, and he really likes you, Kendall. I have been too busy with work recently and have no time to accompany him, so I am thinking of leaving Scott here and letting him spend the summer vacation at the Coleman Residence."
Everyone was stunned.
Dylan's face was tense, and his eyes were dark as he said in a deep voice, "Eric, even if you're busy, you still have family, and you have a nanny at home too. Many people can accompany him."
Eric said apologetically, "Scott just likes to be with Kendall. Dylan, I'm really sorry. I also know that this request will make you uncomfortable, but Scott is just a child, and he's been crying endlessly at home. I really have no other choice."
Kendall quietly pulled at the hem of Dylan's clothes.
She, too, hoped that Dylan would allow Scott to live in the Coleman Residence.
Dylan lowered his head and looked at her hand, his eyes becoming darker and darker. Then, he and Eric looked at each other for a while. He said, "Eric, Scott is at an energetic age. Kendall and I are going to work, so there's no way for us to look after him all the time. Besides, if something happens to him, we can't take that responsibility."
Helping others with their children was not an easy thing to do, and one had to be responsible.
If someone else's child was fine, their parents might not necessarily be grateful. But once their child had an accident, their parents would definitely hold one accountable even if it wasn't the person's fault.
"Mr. Dylan, I will be very obedient. I won't be naughty, and I will listen to you and Miss Kendall."
Scott climbed up on Dylan again and sat on his lap. He faced Dylan, and his handsome little face was pleading as he asked, "Mr. Dylan, can't you let me stay? I will be very obedient.”
Kendall really wanted to keep Scott, but what Dylan said also made sense.
Scott was at a lively age where he was curious about everything. If something happened to him at the Coleman Residence, she couldn't take that responsibility.
This was the precious descendant of the Ford Family and the apple of their eyes.
Even if Scott just grazed his knee, the entire Ford Family would feel distressed for a few days. As such, it was hard for them to keep him with them.
Dylan tapped the little boy's forehead and said, "If you want to play with Miss Kendall, you can come over on weekends, but you can't stay for the summer vacation. It's not that I don't like you. We really can't take the responsibility of caring for you."
Scott pouted. "Mr. Dylan, you must be afraid that I will take Miss Kendall away, so you don't want me to stay."
