Chapter 418
"Young Master Dylan, Ms. Taylor is Young Mistress Kendall' best friend. Now that I've turned down Ms. Taylor, will she—"
"She won't blame you. We did give you guys the chance, but everything depends on your fate. To make sure you guys get married isn't the matchmaker's job, is it?"
Ronnie held his tongue as he thought, Phew. It's fine as long as the Young Mistress Kendall doesn't blame me.
Dylan had a soft spot for Kendall, hence the last thing his subordinates wanted was to infuriate her. Ticking Dylan off was fine, but angering her was a big deal.
The conversation stopped right there as Ronnie informed Dylan about it merely because of Kendall and Amelia's relationship.
Meow.
In a nearby bush sat a Ragdoll, which meowed once it noticed someone was coming. However, the innocuous meow surprised Ronnie.
He halted and marched toward the feline with the intention to drive it away because Dylan hated animals with fur.
Regardless of who its owner was, pets were off-limits in his vicinity. If he caught sight of it, those pets would have to face inevitable death.
Whose Ragdoll is this? Why didn't the owner keep an eye on it and let it come here?
"Ronnie, bring it to me," ordered Dylan.
Ronnie's eyes exuded sympathy as he thought of the fate awaiting the adorable cat. Even so, he could not disobey Dylan's orders.
The cat was obedient and friendly around strangers. When he approached it, it kept meowing instead of escaping. It even rubbed its head against his hand adorably as he reached out to the cat.
"Why did you run all the way here, little thing? I can't save you either."
Unless Kendall happened to be here, no one would be able to get it out of trouble. With the cat in his arms, he returned and stood before Dylan. However, Ronnie dared not stand near him or give him the cat due to the worry that he would strangle it to death.
Dylan stared at the furball in Ronnie's arms. "It somehow seems familiar to me."
Ronnie did not utter a word.
"Give a call to the Pet Palace. Ask them if Kendall's pet has escaped." Dylan guessed it was the very cat that he had gifted to Kendall.
He despised pets with fur and they were prohibited in his territories. Everyone who knew of that would make sure to keep an eye on the pets so that they would never cross paths with him.
Kendall wished to have a pet back then, and they fought because of it. In the end, when she was about to give up, he relented.
Kendall wished to have a pet back then, and they fought because of it. In the end, when she was about to give up, he relented.
He gifted her cats and dogs, which she left in Pet Palace where she could visit them whenever she was free. Thus, Dylan had a deep impression on these little furballs that had once 'ruined' their relationship.
No matter how long it had been since he last saw them, he could still recognize them.
Ronnie quickly made the call with the hope that the cat truly belonged to Kendall. Once someone from the Pet Palace picked up the call, he introduced himself, "I'm Ronnie."
Thud!
It was the sound of the phone falling onto the ground.
He kept quiet as he waited. Then, the person picked it up and asked gingerly, "Mr. Ronnie, why did you call?"
"Is Young Mistress Kendall's cat still there?"
Thud!
Again, it was the sound of the phone falling onto the ground.
Word failed him as he cottoned on the situation. The person was panicking because Kendall's cat had escaped, and he was completely flustered by Ronnie's call.
A couple of moments later, someone else answered the call. It seemed like the previous one was so shocked that he could not speak anymore.
"Mr. Ronnie, Young Mistress Kendall's cat… has escaped. We're searching for it right now, and we'll find it."
"The cat is here with me. Young Master Dylan saw it."
"What?!" The person shrieked. "How did it run so far away? Young Master Dylan saw it? I-Is it still alive? Young Mistress Kendall really, really, really likes them, though."
We're doomed. The cat is going to die because it barged into the wrong place due to our negligence! If Young Master Dylan kills the cat, Young Mistress Kendall will be sad and it'll surely affect their relationship. She is the person he loves the most. If they fight…
They would not be able to bear the repercussions.
Ronnie hung up the phone. Since it was confirmed that it belonged to Kendall, it would be fine.
"Young Master Dylan, it is really Young Mistress Kendall's pet. It is the one you gave to her." He deliberately emphasized the final sentence.
Looking at the little furball, Dylan said indifferently, "They must be missing Kendall. She can't visit them because she's been busy these days. So, it has run all the way here."
"Yes, that must be it." Ronnie went along hurriedly as he was desperate to save the cat.
"Let's take it back in."
"Huh?" Ronnie was stupefied.
I must've heard him wrong. Is he asking me to carry it into the house?
When Dylan shot him a glare, he came back to his senses and moved toward Dylan with the cat in his arms. Initially, he intended to carry it with one arm while pushing the wheelchair with the other, but Dylan suddenly scooped the meek cat out of his arms.
Ronnie thought he was seeing things because Dylan, who disliked furry animals, was holding a cat!
Back then, Alice brought along her pet, which was then beaten to death as soon as Dylan saw it. It upset her for a long time. Since then, she kept an eye on her pets very cautiously.
She was the princess of the family, as well as the only younger sister Dylan doted on. If her pet ended up like that, there was no doubt that others' pet would meet with a similar fate if not worse.
That incident had served as a good warning to everyone to look after their pets carefully, and thereafter no pets were found around Dylan's residence anymore.
Young Mistress Kendall is amazing! He loves her so much that he even tolerates her pets. He's literally loving her all.
Excited, Ronnie pushed Dylan into the house. Needless to say, anyone that witnessed him holding a cat gaped. Even Amos was riveted to the spot at the rare sight.
He was only brought back to his senses when a joyful Kendall scurried over to hug the cat. He closed his eyes and rubbed them profusely, only to open them and see the exact scene. The sight elicited a genuine smile on his face.
Has Young Master Dylan overcome his fear of furry animals? Thank you so much, Young Mistress Kendall.
Amos always credited Kendall for every positive change in Dylan, which was the truth. Because of his love for Kendall, he spared the cat's life and carried it back home. Of course, it was also because it was the very present that he gave to her.
It was the couple's token of affection. So, of course, it should be treated differently.
