"When are you and Master Dylan planning to have a child? I would like to have some grandchildren around."
Kendall didn't hide the truth from her mom. "We're planning on it. I might buy a pregnancy test in a few days and check if I'm pregnant."
Hearing that, Charlotte was delighted and said, "There will definitely be good news. Since you guys are already planning on it, you have to pay more attention to what you eat. Don't be like Kelly and… I don't even know what to say about her. Jeez!"
Even if Charlotte was now siding with her biological daughter, she still had feelings for Kelly because she had raised Kelly for more than twenty years. Moreover, she and her husband had previously treated Kelly like their most precious gem.
Therefore, how could Charlotte not feel distressed when seeing Kelly's current situation?
However, since the two daughters were now standing on opposite sides, Charlotte naturally would support her biological daughter.
"Has she stopped drinking?"
Kendall had previously exhorted Kelly that since she had decided to keep the baby, she should treat it better and try to make sure the baby was healthy, lest the child be born with health problems, which would bring her and her child more harm than good.
Though Kendall hated Kelly, she wouldn't take her anger out on Kelly's baby because the baby was
innocent.
She couldn't bring herself to be as vicious as Kelly, who could even harm a child.
"Yes, she stopped, but she and Brian… Forget it. Let's not talk about her. I feel sad every time we talk about her. Aren't you going to the company today?"
"I'll go later. Nelson is getting discharged today, so I'll be heading to the hospital to get him before heading to the company in the afternoon. There will be a client from Eastfort coming over to sign a contract, so I can't slack off this afternoon."
Later, Charlotte asked about Nelson's condition.
"It's good that he's fine. Once he gets discharged from the hospital, he should take some time off to rest and not get back to work so quickly."
After finding out Kendall was going to fetch Nelson from the hospital, Charlotte asked Kendall to wait for a moment while she headed upstairs. She opened her safe and planned to take out some cash for Nelson to buy some supplements, but then she thought 10 thousand or 15 thousand seemed a little less.
Kendall valued the Woodses.
Before, Charlotte was worried that Kendall being close with the Woodses might affect her relationship with Kendall, which explained why she didn't want Kendall to have too much contact with the Woodses and even went to meet Sally and the others in private about this.
But now, Charlotte had it all figured out.
Kendall is my biological daughter, so our relationship will never be estranged. Moreover, Kendall knows to behave well and is close with both Sally and me, so what's there to worry about? Kendall has another mom to pamper her, so I should be happy for her. What's more, I would be disappointed if Kendall treated the Woodses badly. Since the Woodses have raised Kendall so well, I should be grateful to them and not stop them from contacting Kendall.
After considering it, Charlotte didn't take out a wad of cash but a bank card before heading downstairs and placing it in Kendall's hand.
"Kendall, give this to Nelson. The code is your birthday. This is a card I applied for in your name, but you said you already have one, so I didn't give this to you but just regularly transferred your pocket money into this card. Tell Nelson that he doesn't need to worry about work for the time being and that his health is more important. Everything can wait until he gets better."
Meanwhile, Kendall was trying to return the card.
"Nelson won't accept this."
"Just stuff it inside his pocket. Kendall, I'm asking you to help me give this to him, so you have to help me. I've been kind of mean to them in the past and feel bad about it. Tell Nelson that if he doesn't take this money, it will mean he still resents me."
Not knowing what to say, Kendall agreed, "Alright then. I'll help you give this to Nelson."
"It's hot outside, and you have to go pick Nelson up, so I won't keep you here any longer," Charlotte urged before adding, "Why don't you go and have a checkup to see if you're pregnant?"
"I think it's still undetectable at this moment. Maybe I'll go and have a checkup after a few days."
Since she had been a mom in her past life, Kendall had some knowledge about pregnancies.
When she had just gotten pregnant in her past life, she was anxious and happy at the same time. She even bought many books. After reading the books, she would eat whatever the books said would benefit her baby and be extra careful about everything. Back then, she had nurtured her baby according to books.
Her baby didn't disappoint her and grew into a cute child after labor. However…
"That works too. The day after tomorrow is Sunday, so I'll head to the church in the morning. I'll pray to the Lord to bless you with a baby boy."
Kendall burst out laughing. "Mom, since when you're such a believer? Dylan and the Colemans are hoping I will give birth to a daughter."
Hearing that, Charlotte remembered the Colemans were known for giving birth to boys rather than girls and laughed. "That makes sense. The Colemans might like it more if you gave birth to a daughter."
"At the Colemans, if you give birth to a boy, you'll get rewarded with 15 million. If you give birth to a daughter, the reward will be 70 million."
"Does that mean you can get rich just by giving birth to children?"
Charlotte joked but didn't really want Kendall to give birth to more children, for it was Kendall's freedom to choose how many children she wanted.
If the couple wanted more children, they could give birth to more children. Dylan could afford to raise them anyway.
If they wanted just one child, their parents would also respect their decision.
"What does Master Dylan think about this?" Charlotte asked out of concern. "What others think doesn't matter. The most important thing is what Master Dylan thinks. If he wants a son, I still hope you will give birth to a son during your first pregnancy. After all, having a son can help you stabilize your position in an affluent family."
"He's also hoping for a daughter. Well, he said he'll love the child as long as it's me who gives birth to them. Also, doesn't Dad treat you well even when you only have one daughter?"
The mother-daughter duo chatted while walking toward the door.
"Your dad is open-minded and has no patriarchal thinking. He said that if we can educate our children well, we would only need one child. Gender won't matter. But if we can't educate our child well, it would be pointless even if we have multiple children."
When Charlotte's mother-in-law was still around, she was very open-minded and respected their decision.
Therefore, the couple only had Kendall.
"Dylan is also an open-minded person. More importantly, their family looks forward to us having a daughter because Alice is the only daughter born to the Colemans in five generations. They dote on her a lot. Alice always jokes that she has fifteen brothers that pamper her a lot. And that scared away numerous of her admirers."
Charlotte laughed.
"Your sister-in-law seems nice. Though she is pampered at home, she's intelligent, well-behaved, generous, and doesn't act spoiled. That is rare in a person, and most importantly, she doesn't get jealous or mistreat you although she has the love and support of her brothers. Some sisters-in-law are hard to deal with and love to target her brother's wife."
"Alice is a nice woman, and I like her a lot. I treat her as a younger sister and a friend."
Since Kendall was reborn, she had never had any cheat codes. However, she did change her fate by marrying Dylan. Also, she was lucky to have a sister-in-law like Alice and didn't have to deal with problems between sisters-in-law.
It seemed like the heavens were still nice to her.
Charlotte sent Kendall out the door and watched her get inside the car. She then reminded the driver to drive slowly and waited until the car disappeared from her sight before heading inside.
