Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 433

Chapter 433

Dylan won't leave, which means I have no chance to chase Kendall off and that I can't convince them to get a divorce. Tilly was getting a headache. "None of this would have happened if I hadn't asked the Parkers for their daughter's hand in marriage." Tilly regretted her decision.

Dylan still couldn't stand on his own back then, and people were spreading rumors of him being impotent. Even Yasmine gave up on him, and Laura was no longer interested in him. Tilly didn't want her grandson to be alone forever, so she asked the Parkers for their daughter's hand in marriage in an attempt to get a free caretaker for Dylan. And then, this happened. I guess I can make use of Frank's feelings for Kendall to drive them apart.

Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door.

"Who goes there?" Tilly asked sternly and picked the envelope up. She went into her bedroom and kept the envelope inside the bedside cabinet's drawer before locking it up.

"It's me, Old Madam Coleman. Master Dylan is here, and he wishes to see you," said Tia.

Dylan? Oh, right, he's usually home by this time. Tilly sat back down on the couch and answered, "I see. Tell him to come upstairs, then."

"Okay." Tia left soon after.

A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door again. "It's me, Grandma." This time, it was Dylan.

Tilly went to open the door. The first thing she saw was Dylan standing up, so she quickly held his arm. "You still haven't fully healed yet. You shouldn't stand for so long. Why didn't you use the wheelchair? There's an elevator in the house, too. You could have just come up without walking around," she reprimanded him softly as she helped him into the room.

"I can walk by myself, Grandma." Even though he said that, he didn't refuse Tilly's help either.

They slowly entered the room and sat down on the couch. "You're alone? Where's Kendall? Why isn't she with you?" Tilly asked.

"She has to attend etiquette class every night, and now she's learning how to do business with her father, so sometimes she would have appointments at night. I'm fine being alone. Besides, I don't like anyone watching me while I rehab."

Tilly pursed her lips and said nothing.

Dylan stared at his grandmother as he thought to himself. Her hair's all gray now. No matter how much Grandma tries to make herself look younger, she still can't cover the fact that she is getting on in years.

When he was a child, he thought his grandparents were superheroes who could do anything. They were the ones who raised him and groomed him into the fine and talented man he was now. So, he wasn't surprised to find himself greatly influenced by his grandparents. As Dylan thought of that, his tense face started to loosen up.

Tilly noticed the changes in his looks. She knew exactly what he was thinking about. He must be here for the incident shown in the photos.

She and Dylan had argued a lot over Kendall, and it infuriated her. She hated how much Dylan cared about Kendall. The more he cared about Kendall, the more she hated Kendall. Tilly had always seen Kendall as a wicked woman who tried to take her grandson away from her.

Dylan didn't know about that only because she didn't show her detest for Kendall openly. If she had anything to say, she would just tell Emily about it, and Emily would bring the message to Dylan. However, Fergus convinced Emily to stop doing that. Tilly wanted to scold him, but she couldn't.

Fergus was already disgruntled enough when Tilly insisted on raising Dylan herself. They had even gotten into some arguments because of that. Dylan might have grown well, but Fergus still had complaints about it. He just didn't bring it up.

"It's been a while since we talked, Grandma." Dylan broke the ice.

"Yes, it's been a while. You barely even come to the main house anymore. Every time you're here, it's always about Kendall," Tilly lamented and complained a little.

Dylan stayed silent for a while. "Sorry for neglecting you, Grandma. And all of you."

"It's alright. As long as you can build yourself back up and stand on your own two feet, you'll still be the same man you used to be. That's enough for me. It'd been a dark period for me, and I'd try anything to help you get better. I even went to a fortune teller to see if there was anything that could help. And the fortune teller said having a wedding can help with your recovery, which is why I asked for Kendall's hand in marriage for you."

Dylan was surprised at her words. This was the first time he heard about it. So, that's why Grandma

went for Kendall.

"I sounded silly, didn't I? I just went after anything that might seem to help, but the fortune teller was the real deal. He told me how to help you recover, and you actually got better after I did that." She sighed.

Dylan said, "If fate itself wants me to marry Kendall, why do you still dislike her? If it were not for her, I wouldn't have gone into rehab." And I might still be the cold, ruthless man I was.

Tilly didn't know what to say for a moment. Eventually, she answered, "It's probably a coincidence, not fate. You have no idea how odd the fortune-telling was. A debt repaid or something, it said; that Kendall doesn't owe you anything and that it's the other way around, it said. Preposterous! The fortune teller is a sham."

Dylan quickly countered, "But just a second ago, you said the fortune teller was the real deal."

Tilly was left speechless for a moment before saying, "We're people of science, Dylan. We shouldn't be superstitious. It is merely a coincidence. Well, sure, Kendall might have helped, but she's not worthy of you. You're the head of the Coleman Family and the ruler of Orapolis. You can do and have anything you want. And not to mention that you're a successful businessman. I don't even consider Yasmine a worthy match for you, even though she comes from a rich family. Kendall is just a girl raised in a village, so how could she possibly be worthy of you?

"And don't you think she's a bit odd? She came to you at first to refuse the marriage and even committed suicide for that. But after she woke up, she retracted her refusal and went ahead with the plan. Doesn't that seem weird to you? She must have up to something. I think she might be a spy your enemy planted, and she was just waiting for the right time to kill you off."

Dylan stared at his grandmother. Once she was done, he said solemnly, "Grandma, I've told you about this many times. More than I care to count. But now that you're going to kick Kendall away after she's helped me so much, I'll have to make myself clear again. She's the only woman I'll marry. Nobody else. Take her away from me, and I'll stay single forever."
