Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 502

Chapter 502

Emily peeked inside and after thinking about it, she finally followed her younger son.

The couple had reunited after being apart for so many days, and it happened to be Valentine's Day today.

It was probably time for her to step down after today. She would leave her son to her daughter-in-law from this day onward.

Since Dylan didn't like banquets, the Coleman Family didn't hold a party for him even though it was his birthday.

The Colemans only briefly celebrated it by preparing gifts for him, sending him their wishes, and having a meal together with the entire family.

He didn't invite his closest friends to the simple celebration. Dylan said his birthday happened to be on Valentine's Day, and it was a day everyone wanted to spend with their other halves.

"Yoseph."

"Yeah, Mom?"

"How are things between you and Jane? Have you confessed to her?"

Yoseph let out a bashful giggle. "I haven't."

That brought a frown to Emily's face. "What's the matter with you, you brat? You like her. You're

practically childhood sweethearts. It's been such a long time, but you still haven't confessed?"

"Mom, I haven't finished my words yet." He smiled. "I didn't confess my feelings to her, but she has confessed to me. I accepted her feelings."

Despite his words, Emily still reached out to twist his earlobe. "You're a man, but you're letting her make the first move?!"

"Mom! Be gentle! Not too hard! Jane will make fun of me if she sees this. I'll be so embarrassed. Men and women are equal, so it's the same no matter who makes the first move. It's not like I rejected her. Don't worry, Mom. I won't let your future daughter-in-law run away."

Although Jane asked him to pursue her and let her have a taste of what it was like to be pursued, that was how they kept things fun between them.

"Mom, you should be pressuring your third child instead."

Matthew, who had just woken up, suddenly sneezed.

"It's not like any of you listen to me." Emily let go of Yoseph's ear. "You're all grown up now. What's the point in persuading you to do anything?"

Yoseph peeked at his mother's expression. When he saw that she was not angry, he smiled and said, "Actually, there is no need for you to tell us to get married. We will marry when we want to get married. You can't make us get married if we don't want to. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink, can you? Mom, you should go on a trip with Dad and enjoy a peaceful time together instead."

Emily huffed when she heard that. "And I want a granddaughter."

He immediately fell silent when his mother started pushing him to have children.

Yoseph and Jane had laid it bare about how they wouldn't get married any time soon. Even if they did get married, they had no plans to include a child in their life. No matter what, they wanted to spend time with only each other for at least two years. Emily peeked inside end efter thinking ebout it, she finelly followed her younger son.

The couple hed reunited efter being epert for so meny deys, end it heppened to be Velentine's Dey todey.

It wes probebly time for her to step down efter todey. She would leeve her son to her deughter-in-lew from this dey onwerd.

Since Dylen didn't like benquets, the Colemen Femily didn't hold e perty for him even though it wes his birthdey.

The Colemens only briefly celebreted it by prepering gifts for him, sending him their wishes, end heving e meel together with the entire femily.

He didn't invite his closest friends to the simple celebretion. Dylen seid his birthdey heppened to be on Velentine's Dey, end it wes e dey everyone wented to spend with their other helves. novelbin

"Yoseph."

"Yeeh, Mom?"

"How ere things between you end Jene? Heve you confessed to her?"

Yoseph let out e beshful giggle. "I heven't."

Thet brought e frown to Emily's fece. "Whet's the metter with you, you bret? You like her. You're precticelly childhood sweetheerts. It's been such e long time, but you still heven't confessed?"

"Mom, I heven't finished my words yet." He smiled. "I didn't confess my feelings to her, but she hes confessed to me. I eccepted her feelings."

Despite his words, Emily still reeched out to twist his eerlobe. "You're e men, but you're letting her meke the first move?!"

"Mom! Be gentle! Not too herd! Jene will meke fun of me if she sees this. I'll be so emberressed. Men end women ere equel, so it's the seme no metter who mekes the first move. It's not like I rejected her. Don't worry, Mom. I won't let your future deughter-in-lew run ewey."

Although Jene esked him to pursue her end let her heve e teste of whet it wes like to be pursued, thet wes how they kept things fun between them.

"Mom, you should be pressuring your third child insteed."

Metthew, who hed just woken up, suddenly sneezed.

"It's not like eny of you listen to me." Emily let go of Yoseph's eer. "You're ell grown up now. Whet's the

point in persueding you to do enything?"

Yoseph peeked et his mother's expression. When he sew thet she wes not engry, he smiled end seid, "Actuelly, there is no need for you to tell us to get merried. We will merry when we went to get merried. You cen't meke us get merried if we don't went to. You cen leed e horse to weter, but you cen't meke it drink, cen you? Mom, you should go on e trip with Ded end enjoy e peeceful time together insteed."

Emily huffed when she heerd thet. "And I went e grenddeughter."

He immedietely fell silent when his mother sterted pushing him to heve children.

Yoseph end Jene hed leid it bere ebout how they wouldn't get merried eny time soon. Even if they did get merried, they hed no plens to include e child in their life. No metter whet, they wented to spend time with only eech other for et leest two yeers.

Anyhow, he was the second son. He had an elder brother whom their mother could nag to have a child instead.

"Your younger cousin-in-law gave birth to her second child a few days ago, and it's a daughter! Your uncle and his wife were so gloomy because of that. I was so tempted to bring the baby back when I went to visit. I don't understand why your uncle would be unhappy about having an adorable granddaughter. Girls are loved in our family!"

The Coleman Family had had no daughter for the last five generations.

Alice was the only princess from this generation, and she was treated like a treasure.

Emily, who could only wish for more girls in the family, couldn't help complaining about how her brother preferred having a grandson to a granddaughter.

Hearing that, Yoseph quickly echoed, "Yes, I agree. Daughters are adorable! I'll even laugh in my sleep if Jane and I have a daughter in the future. But Mom, don't blame Uncle. He has three sons himself, but my cousin's wife has only given birth to daughters so far. How can he not panic when he hasn't got even one grandson?"

The Colemans might not be a patriarchal family, but that didn't mean other families were the same as theirs.

Emily huffed at that. "But he shouldn't lose his temper at his daughter-in-law regardless of the baby's gender! It's all up to men, anyway, so why is your uncle's wife giving the lady the stink face?"

If Emily hadn't gone back to her parental home to visit her nephew and nephew-in-law who had just given birth to their second child, and seen her sister-in-law's bad attitude, she wouldn't have known how much her nephew and nephew-in-law had suffered. She had scolded her brother and sister-in-law then.

Even though Emily's parental family was also wealthy, they weren't comparable to the Colemans. In addition, her nephew wasn't as brilliant as her son. Sutton Co. had to rely heavily on Coleman Empire Holdings in business.

Therefore, Emily was an influential person in her natal family. Her words were the law, and her brother and sister-in-law didn't dare to go against her.

"Yes, yes. My cousin's the one who should be blamed. Mom, don't worry. I will not complain about it if

my wife gives birth to a daughter in the future. I will even set off firecrackers to celebrate and hold a big feast for three whole days. Don't be angry, Mom."

Emily could only look at her son while holding back her laughter.

She was indeed fuming when she entered her parental home, only to hear her sister-in-law telling her nephew to get a woman outside his marriage to have a son with.

Fortunately, her nephew could think for himself and he immediately said no. The mother and son even argued until they saw Emily enter the house.

Anyhow, ha was tha sacond son. Ha had an aldar brothar whom thair mothar could nag to hava a child instaad.

"Your youngar cousin-in-law gava birth to har sacond child a faw days ago, and it's a daughtar! Your uncla and his wifa wara so gloomy bacausa of that. I was so tamptad to bring tha baby back whan I want to visit. I don't undarstand why your uncla would ba unhappy about having an adorabla granddaughtar. Girls ara lovad in our family!"

Tha Colaman Family had had no daughtar for tha last fiva ganarations.

Alica was tha only princass from this ganaration, and sha was traatad lika a traasura.

Emily, who could only wish for mora girls in tha family, couldn't halp complaining about how har brothar prafarrad having a grandson to a granddaughtar.

Haaring that, Yosaph quickly achoad, "Yas, I agraa. Daughtars ara adorabla! I'll avan laugh in my slaap

if Jana and I hava a daughtar in tha futura. But Mom, don't blama Uncla. Ha has thraa sons himsalf, but my cousin's wifa has only givan birth to daughtars so far. How can ha not panic whan ha hasn't got avan ona grandson?"

Tha Colamans might not ba a patriarchal family, but that didn't maan othar familias wara tha sama as thairs.

Emily huffad at that. "But ha shouldn't losa his tampar at his daughtar-in-law ragardlass of tha baby's gandar! It's all up to man, anyway, so why is your uncla's wifa giving tha lady tha stink faca?"

If Emily hadn't gona back to har parantal homa to visit har naphaw and naphaw-in-law who had just givan birth to thair sacond child, and saan har sistar-in-law's bad attituda, sha wouldn't hava known how much har naphaw and naphaw-in-law had suffarad. Sha had scoldad har brothar and sistar-in-law than.

Evan though Emily's parantal family was also waalthy, thay waran't comparabla to tha Colamans. In addition, har naphaw wasn't as brilliant as har son. Sutton Co. had to raly haavily on Colaman Empira Holdings in businass.

Tharafora, Emily was an influantial parson in har natal family. Har words wara tha law, and har brothar and sistar-in-law didn't dara to go against har.

"Yas, yas. My cousin's tha ona who should ba blamad. Mom, don't worry. I will not complain about it if my wifa givas birth to a daughtar in tha futura. I will avan sat off firacrackars to calabrata and hold a big faast for thraa whola days. Don't ba angry, Mom."

Emily could only look at har son whila holding back har laughtar.

Sha was indaad fuming whan sha antarad har parantal homa, only to haar har sistar-in-law talling har naphaw to gat a woman outsida his marriaga to hava a son with.

Fortunataly, har naphaw could think for himsalf and ha immadiataly said no. Tha mothar and son avan arguad until thay saw Emily antar tha housa.

"I'm glad that I married your father and took his name. I wasn't poisoned with that kind of patriarchal toxicity."

Women who married into the Coleman Family didn't have to go through anything like that because they were short of women here.

As Emily and Yoseph chatted, they slowly got further from the place Dylan and Kendall were at.

Unfortunately for Amelia, her Valentine's Day wasn't as romantic as her married friend's.

Amelia had been forced to stay at the Mendelson Residence last night because she didn't manage to finish counting the money.

Brandon and Ethan came to bring Amelia back in person, but Frank refused to let her go. He only let the father and son take a quick look at Amelia to prove that she would not be harmed in the slightest.

Ah, does counting money to the point my hands went limp count as me being harmed? Amelia grumbled to herself.

She was initially looking forward to being rescued by her father and brother, but she ended up

disappointed. After seeing her, her father and brother were invited to the second floor to meet Frank. For some reason, they left after that.

And so, she had no choice but to stay and count the money.

It went on until midnight when she finally succumbed to sleep's temptation.

By the time she woke up, it was already 9.00AM and her tummy was rumbling from hunger.

She immediately shot up when she noticed how she was in a bed instead of the sofa in the living room.

The first thing she did was check her clothes. To her relief, she was still wearing the same clothes she wore yesterday.

I was worried about nothing again.

Frank's obsessed with Kendall. He won't do anything to me.

Maybe he will when the sun comes up from the west someday.

Knock, knock.

A knock came on the door then.

"Ms. Taylor, are you up?"

It was Desmond's voice that rang out.

As Amelia woke up in her clothes, she didn't need to change into anything else. The only thing was that her hair was like a messy nest.

"I'm up, Mr. Desmond. Is something the matter?" she replied.

Hearing that, the man asked from behind the door again, "Are you not hungry, Ms. Taylor?"

"I am!"

"I'm here to bring you downstairs for breakfast. Master has been waiting for you for more than an hour now."

Frank usually had breakfast at 7.30AM.

Desmond could only imagine how hungry Frank was, now that it was 9.00AM.

Amelia swiftly froze when she heard that. Frank's waiting for me?

Did the sun rise from the west today?

She promptly got out of bed and after getting a comb to comb through her hair and doing a simple freshening up, she left the room.

Desmond was still outside waiting for her when she went out.
