"What's the matter?" Roger asked out of concern.
"Toddy got himself drunk at Supreme Bar. The bartender called me to get him."
Frowning, he offered, "It's already late, and it isn't safe for you to pick him up alone. Do you know where Mr. Heller lives? How about you tell me his address, and I'll head over to bring him home?"
"He lives here, but right over there in the villa area. The place I rented is a high rise."
Roger replied with an 'oh' and said, "Okay, I get it. I'll head over to the bar now. What's it called again?"
"Supreme Bar. I think he might be super drunk. You don't have to send him back here. Just bring him to Dynasty Hotel, book a room under his name, and let him spend the night there."
He could not quite understand, so she explained, "The villa area is restricted to only those with pass cards. If he's too drunk, you won't be able to know where he places his card and enter the villa area, so sending him to Dynasty Hotel is the best choice. That hotel belongs to Coleman Empire Holdings, and he's the chief's special assistant, so all the workers there know him. He'll be perfectly safe there."
Initially, she had the spare keys to Toddy's villa but returned them to him because she wanted to sever ties with him and stop herself from thinking he would one day change his mind and accept her.
"Alright, I understand now. You should head back and get some rest. It's late."
Indeed, Emma was exhausted because she had worked overtime and went to the food street. By then, it was already past midnight.
"I'll see you off," Roger uttered gently.
Smiling, she waved goodbye before turning around and entering the apartment complex.
He waited until she disappeared before searching for the directions to Supreme Bar on his navigation system and leaving the apartment complex.
When Emma returned to her apartment, she went to her balcony and looked down. However, due to the distance, she could not tell if Roger had left. He probably has…
On the other hand, Toddy got himself drunk late at night and gave her number to the bartender so that they would call her to get him.
He knew she could not bear to leave him alone, but he never thought about her safety.
In Roger's words, it was late at night, so it would not be safe for a woman like her to head to the bar alone.
Yet, Toddy did not even consider this, but Roger did. It was obvious which one of the two men truly cared about her.
At that point, Emma's impression of Roger increased another notch. Although he was not as excellent or as handsome as Toddy, and his family was incomparable to the Hellers, what she wanted was never materialistic things but sincerity.
Now that she had thought it through, she was no longer feeling conflicted. After receiving a text from Roger saying that he had sent Toddy to Dynasty Hotel, she drifted into dreamland. That night, they no longer shared another word.
The following morning, Kendall was shocked when she stepped out of her room. She was not met with some kind of romantic scene but a family of three.
The Ford couple and their adorable child, Scott Ford, were sitting on the couch.
Meanwhile, Amos was chatting with them. When he saw Kendall appear, he felt relieved and approached her before saying, "Young Mistress Kendall, Mr. Ford and his family have just arrived."
She hummed in response before softly instructing, "Go wake Dylan up."
Hearing that, Amos hesitated because Dylan would get angry whenever someone woke him up.
"Just tell him I sent you."
Then, Amos agreed respectfully. With Young Mistress Kendall taking the blame—Oh, that's not right. With Young Mistress Kendall backing me, I'm not afraid of Young Master Dylan anymore! Even if Young Master Dylan wakes up angry, he will immediately brighten up once I mention Young Mistress Kendall.
"Miss Parker." Scott bolted down from the couch and ran toward Kendall, who came forward and picked him up.
She beamed. "Scott, why didn't you call and tell me you were coming? I could've gone and picked you up."
He replied, "My parents and I came on a plane. The plane landed on the large field outside, and I could see your house right after I came down. You didn't have to come to get us. Also, I wanted to surprise you, so I purposely withdrew that information." He eagerly added, "Miss Parker, I have some good news. My mom has been discharged from the hospital."
Indeed, Margaret had made a remarkable recovery. She was fortunate to have a husband who loved her dearly and took great care of her, which was why she could make such a speedy recovery after awakening from her coma.
Even the other doctors mentioned she was the quickest patient to recover from her condition. They initially estimated that it might take her a few months to recuperate.
Kendall saw the real meaning of love and miracles through the couple and felt moved. Then, she held the little fellow in her arms while heading toward the Fords.
Eric and Margaret complimented each other, and when they stood together, they looked like a match made in heaven.
Although Margaret was discharged from the hospital and recuperated at home, she still looked pale because she had stayed indoors and had not been in the sun for a long time. However, she seemed spritely!
"Kendall, pardon us for disturbing you so early in the morning. Scott kept asking us to come here and insisted that we leave early because you and Master Dylan might have gone out to work if we had come later. Also, he said he wanted to surprise you and forbade us to call you." Margaret was apologetic and spoke smoothly, seeming to have recovered well.
"It's fine. I like the surprise Scott gave me."
Kendall knew the Ford couple doted on their son, especially Margaret. Since she had been asleep for so many years and missed the past three years of her son's childhood, she felt like she owed her son. Therefore, no matter what Scott wanted to do or have, she would agree to them.
On the other hand, Kendall also witnessed how much Eric pampered Scott. That was why she was unsurprised when they told her their early morning visitation was Scott's idea.
The little fellow was clever, too, knowing that he should come early as the Coleman couple might have gone to work if they arrived late. If that were so, he would have to take a trip to Kendall's company.
"Miss Parker, since you like my surprise so much, why don't you kiss me? I love your kisses."
The Ford couple were speechless.
Fortunately, Scott was only three years old; had he been a few years older, Dylan might have thrown him out of the house.
Laughing, Kendall pinched his cheek while joking, "Sure. I'll kiss you immediately, but you can't blame me for getting it all slimy!"
"Of course, I won't. Miss Parker, hurry up. Oh, no. Mr. Dylan is here." The little fellow was savvy and aware that the domineering Dylan did not like him being close to Kendall.
Moreover, Eric had told Scott that Kendall was Dylan's wife and that he should not hog her. Otherwise, Dylan would dislike him!
