Dylan never held back whenever it came to Kendall; he went all out to give her a grand wedding, telling everyone that she was happy to marry him.
"I'll leave you guys alone." Tilly rose to her feet with the dowry list in her hand. Emily hurriedly supported Tilly, and they discussed what to add to the list while heading outside.
The young couple intended to walk them out, but the offer was turned down. So, they asked Amos to see them off.
Now that they were alone, Kendall heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought they'll make a ruckus over my decision to work. I didn't expect them to be this understanding. They compromised right after I leveled with them."
Dylan smiled. "Now, you can do whatever you want. No one will say anything to you or stop you."
He hurt himself just to win the elderly family members' favor for her; he would not let them drive her out again.
He promised to marry her and spend the rest of their lives together. Since she entrusted her whole life to him, he guaranteed her a peaceful and happy one.
Feeling grateful, Kendall rested herself against him. "Thank you, honey."
"Save it. We're married, and I gave you my word. I'm a man of his word."
She pecked him on the cheek. "Oh, where's the Ford Family?"
"The little fellow wanted to go to the beach, so I asked someone to take them to our residence by the beach early in the morning. It should be a few days' stay."
Envy laced his voice; he needed to wait another ten months before he could go for a family trip. However, the elderly family members would never allow him to take the baby for a trip when it was still little.
They might not be that strict if it was a baby boy, but if it was a girl, she would become the little princess. He was afraid that Kendall and he had to stay on the sideline, albeit being the parents.
Memories of the family celebrating Alice's birth remained vivid in Dylan's head. On that very day, the elders waited outside of the delivery room, which Emily was in.
The sight of the crowd outside of the room went trending back then. Even the reporters joined the troop, wondering whether the Colemans would be welcoming a baby girl and finally breaking the all- boys gender streak.
When the nurse held Alice and announced that it was a baby girl, the elders—no, the kids—were equally elated at the news. Even the ever-matured boy, Dylan, was so joyous that he carried his youngest brother, spinning around.
Next, everyone had always surrounded Alice's side. The adults would sit next to the cradle and stare at the newborn baby, not wanting to miss any of those precious moments.
The reporters took shots of the scene, making Alice the most envied baby girl in Orapolis. This year
marked Alice's twenty-third birthday. It had been a long time since the Coleman Family last welcomed a new member.
Everyone looked forward to the arrival of Kendall's baby. The child would not receive cold treatment and ended up with an early demise like in Kendall's dream. On the contrary, the baby would be the apple of the eye of the Coleman Family!
"Let's go on a trip on the weekends when we're free."
"We can go on this weekend if you want to. Do you wanna go to the beach as well?" asked Dylan affectionately.
"But we'll be disturbing them—"
"We have other beach residences. We can stay elsewhere."
Her eyes twinkled. "Splendid!"
"Dylan, Kendall." Alice's greeting halted their conversation as they left the dining room.
"Mr. Miller, lend me a hand."
Alice's voice rang continuously before they could even see her. A curious Kendall went outside to see what Alice brought and why she needed Amos' help. She met Alice by the door, and they greeted each other.
Amos' and Ronnie's hands were full with all those packages. Even Alice was carrying a lot of
packages, so Kendall rolled up her sleeves to offer help.
"No, no, no! Leave it, Kendall. They're just clothes. I can handle them." Alice turned down the offer and slid into the house with the packages. As soon as she saw Dylan, she smiled sweetly and greeted him.
"What did you buy? There are so many of them," Dylan inquired.
"It's for my niece! It's nothing much. Just some clothes, shoes, socks and toys. My precious niece will need them someday."
The couple went speechless. Kendall could not help but smile. "Alice, I just got pregnant. It's too early to buy all these."
Alice smiled sheepishly. "I was so excited that I couldn't help it. Dylan, I'm not the only one. The others are on a shopping spree, too, but I was a step ahead of them! Look, those are all sent over by me. Dylan, when my baby niece comes out, you must use mine first. I have to prepare some gifts as her aunt."
Dylan did not know how to respond to that news. That was the thing when one had many siblings; as soon as the pregnancy announcement was made, the brothers went on a shopping frenzy. Dylan was certain that the baby girl dresses in the city were sold out by now.
Likewise, Kendall could not imagine what to do with her house filled with baby products to the brim. The uncles were definitely more excited than the parents.
"Kendall, Kendall, I have something for you! I jumped through hoops to get it." Alice set down the things in her hands and beckoned Kendall over mysteriously.
Curious, Kendall came up to her. "What is it that puts you in such hassle?"
Alice pulled her bag, which was stuffed at her back because of the mountain of packages she was carrying. Then, she fished out an album and handed it to Kendall with a grin. "See if you like it."
Kendall flipped open the album, whereas Dylan approached them upon seeing the proud expression on his sister's face.
It was all pictures of baby girls. They seemed to be seven to eight months old. Their overload cuteness just made people want to kiss them.
Kendall smiled while leafing through the album. "Alice, where did you get so many pictures of babies? Don't tell me they're real portraits of real babies?"
"Yup, they are real portraits! I asked someone to get them from the photography studios, and I dropped in some of the huge brands too. Don't worry. I have sought consent from the parents before taking a copy. novelbin
"Look how cute they are, Kendall. You're pregnant, so you gotta look at beautiful babies often to give birth to a beautiful baby girl. I can't wait to have a pretty niece that takes after you and Dylan!"
Speechless, Kendall gazed at the young woman's beaming face.
