Dylan immediately started showing off when he heard Toddy's question. "I don't even need to do much to win my wife's heart when she takes the initiative more than I do. I have nothing to teach you. You are better off asking someone else."
"You are breaking my heart, Boss," Toddy whined.
He didn't know how he could coax Emma and despite his sincere plea, all Dylan did was flaunt his happiness. novelbin
He gave it a thought and realized that Kendall was indeed the more proactive one. Ha… No point in comparing.
Out of nowhere, Dylan started to give him real advice. "Miss Finley will reciprocate one day if you are sincere enough. Toddy, don't say that I am not giving you a heads-up. I brought my wife home. She will visit his brother at the hospital tomorrow.
"Maybe she'll ask me to arrange for Miss Finley to accompany her and officially introduce her to my in- laws. I know that my wife likes Miss Finley very much. In fact, she's probably celebrating the fact that you rejected Miss Finley. She can introduce Miss Finley to her brother that way.
"Just think about how Miss Finley treated you last time and use the same method. Shamelessness is what will help you win over a lady."
Toddy thought it made a lot of sense. He definitely wouldn't get a wife if he was shy.
"Boss, you know that I seldom beg you for anything. I'm begging you now to please, never let Emma
meet Nell!"
Dylan let out a sinister chuckle at that. "Don't you think it's too late to be begging me now? You have hurt Miss Finley, and she has completely given up on you. If my brother-in-law ends up liking Miss Finley, you and he should compete over her in all fairness.
"I won't be poking my nose in your business.
"Also, serves you right. I warned you before, but you ignored my advice. You thought that Miss Finley would keep on loving you and waiting for you to accept her, didn't you? Leaves don't turn yellow in an instant, and hearts don't break because of one tiny thing.
"You're on your own, Toddy."
With that, Dylan cut the call.
Kendall, who was beside Dylan, casually asked after the phone call, "What did Toddy say?"
He knew that Toddy was the one who called Dylan.
Dylan put down his phone and grabbed Kendall's delicate body before he domineeringly sealed her mouth with a proper kiss. Only then did he answer her question. "He's regretting his actions. He found out that he has feelings for Miss Finley.
"Now that she's given up on him, he only discovered his feelings for her. Heh. Happy wife, happy life, they say. I bet he is suffering now for mistreating Miss Finley in the past."
Just like her husband, Kendall had no sympathy for Toddy. "Uh-uh. You used the wrong word, darling. Emma isn't his wife."
"Right, they're not married. We don't even know whether Toddy will get Miss Finley to fall for him again." Dylan didn't have the slightest intention to hide his gloating.
Kendall quickly added, "He used to be so indifferent toward Emma. If I was her, I wouldn't give him a second chance. I would rather find a better, more suitable person. As they say, a good horse will never turn round to graze on an old pasture."
For some reason, Dylan felt his heart thump in fright when he heard her words.
He couldn't help feeling glad that he hadn't done anything to hurt her, because if he broke her heart, she might just leave him for good. He would have no tears left to cry then.
Wives are for loving and pampering.
"Oh, by the way, I invited Emma over for a meal."
The call that Emma took before she went out was actually from Kendall.
Hearing that, Dylan cooed, "It's alright. You can invite anyone you want. You are the big boss in this house."
Lying in his arms, Kendall chuckled. "You are so nice to me, darling. You will spoil me."
"And that's all I want to do. I want to spoil you so bad no other man can tolerate you. That way, you will be with me for life. You will always be my wife."
Her smile only widened at his words. "The only way I'll switch my wonderful darling for another man is the day I get a brain trauma."
"Try it if you dare!"
"Geez, I'm not doing that. I will never want another husband. You are the one I want to marry even in my next life."
Dylan's face only visibly relaxed when he heard that.
Seeing this, Kendall quietly thought to herself, We are already husband and wife, and yet he's still so possessive!
Emma arrived not long after.
As she was Dylan's secretary, she would occasionally stop by the Coleman Residence for work.
Despite that, she was still in awe of the Colemans. She wouldn't just leave at will after she had arrived.
However, she did feel more at ease after having a conversation with Kendall.
It was also because Dylan had trusted in her that he arranged for her to stay with Kendall, and the women subsequently became best friends.
"Happy birthday, President Coleman!"
After blurting that out, she handed Dylan a gift card. She didn't know what gift to give him, which was why she eventually decided on giving him an expensive gift card. That way, he could choose and buy whatever he wanted.
"Thanks, Miss Finley." He took the gift card and passed it to Kendall. "Darling," he purred, "you are the head of the household. I'll leave it to you to take care of our finances."
Kendall's head whipped in her friend's direction and when she saw the smile on Emma's face, she accepted the gift card without hesitation. Emma knew fully how the couple's dynamic was.
Kendall's parents and older brother, Roger, were also invited over for lunch.
As Nell was still staying in the hospital, he couldn't be there. However, he had gone out of his way to give Dylan a call when he knew that today was Dylan's birthday.
After the meal, Adam, Charlotte, and the Woodses started to take their leave so that they could let the young couple spend the day with each other.
Before Roger left, he suddenly brought Kendall to a quiet corner, but he seemed to be hesitant about voicing his thoughts.
"What's the matter, Roger? Just tell me."
She was looking at him with curious eyes.
Roger was an honest man, and they had a good relationship. That was why Kendall was confused; he had never been so hesitant to speak with her.
"Um… Kendall? I'm embarrassed, but I need to ask you something."
"Roger, I'm your sister. Just tell me what you have in mind. I won't make fun of you. Go on. What's the matter?" She intimately draped an arm around Roger's shoulder and talked to him like a good friend would.
Dylan, who saw this from afar, suddenly became gloomy.
Even though Nelson used to have romantic feelings for Kendall, he was a clever man who knew to give up after she and Dylan registered their marriage. Knowing that he didn't stand a chance, he finally decided to be nothing more than Kendall's brother.
A worried Dylan wondered, Is Roger romantically interested in Kendall as well?
"Kendall, are you close friends with Miss Finley?"
Roger knew that Kendall had made friends with Amelia after her return to her biological family's home.
But instead of Amelia, it was Emma who came to the lunch.
He wanted to ask to make sure.
However, it wasn't that Kendall hadn't invited Amelia over. It was because Amelia had been held
captive by Frank!
Kendall couldn't help thinking that Frank was… interested in Amelia.
It was no longer just him venting his anger on her.
Apart from his obsession with Kendall, Frank was a man whom a woman could trust her whole life with.
He and Dylan were the same. They were the type of men who would never give anyone a chance if they didn't like the person.
Men like them were usually the type to only love one person for the rest of their lives.
I wonder if he has let Amelia into his heart.
Kendall didn't believe that Frank was even that in love with her. She was sure that he only pestered her because he had had a dream of their past life.
"She's my friend, yes. What about it?" she asked Roger.
Roger started stammering again then. Seeing that Kendall was losing her patience, he finally confessed in a small voice, "Kendall… I think… I… have fallen in love at first sight with Miss Finley."
"Huh?"
