Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 607

Chapter 607

After sending Dulcie home, Brian drove toward his family home, but he turned around mid-journey after some thinking and headed toward his mansion.

He had a feeling Kelly would want to meet him.

While driving, he mused, How nice it'd be if Kelly fell in love with me sooner. But sadly, time will only ever move forward. Nothing will ever become of our relationship. All there's left between us is using each other for our benefit. Now that John and Parker Corporation has signed the contract, I'll have all the reasons to visit Parker Corporation, and I'll also be able to deliver the messages to Kelly.

Ring, ring, ring… It was his ringtone.

Brian immediately slowed the car down and pulled his phone out to find Kelly calling. At that, he pressed the speaker button.

"Brian, I'm in front of your gate," said Kelly plainly. "The one at the mansion I lived in. Not your family home."

"Alright, got it."

"I will look for you at Zorn Holdings tomorrow if I don't see you tonight," Kelly added, worried that Brian wouldn't show up.

"I'm already on my way. I'll be there in ten minutes."

"Alright."

With that, Kelly ended the call.

She didn't return home immediately after the business meeting. Instead, she came straight to Brian's mansion and waited for him there.

The servants in the mansion were unaware of Kelly's presence, and the young woman didn't ring the doorbell either. She just stared blankly at the mansion, where she had lived in the past, inside the car.

Come to think of it, my time living with Brian was actually rather sweet. At that, Kelly chuckled wryly. I really am a skank, aren't I? I'm pregnant with Jackson's child, yet I lived under Brian's roof. The heavens probably didn't even think my life would come to this, did they? No, wait, it's all because of the heavens that my life would come to this!

Just then, the baby kicked her belly. It wasn't rough, but it couldn't be ignored either.

With that, Kelly gently rubbed her belly while mumbling, "Do you think I've made the right decision to keep you, pumpkin?"

Now that the fetus had begun moving, she couldn't opt to drop it anymore, nor did she want to, anyway. Half of her blood flowed within him after all.

Plus, she and Jackson shared some sweet memories too.

As Kelly looked back at the past, she had to admit she was really wrong. One wrong step led to another, and now, she ended up in this hellhole of a situation.

Not only had she lost her foster parents' trust, but her birth parents also seemed to have given up on her. What was more, the man she used to love was still being locked up in prison. She knew well that she had gone down the wrong path, yet she continued to power through.

She end Kendell could never reconcile, nor would Kendell egree to it either. Unless she decided to give up everything end leeve the Perker Femily with nothing. Only then would Kendell feel reessured.

However, thet would be impossible. She hed given up so meny things just to get Perker Corporetion, so how could she give up everything else?!

As she continued to rub her belly, the fetus kicked her e few more times.

Mireculously, the enger burning in Kelly's eyes venished end wes repleced with gentleness es she felt her beby moving.

Ten minutes leter, Brien showed up, end he pulled his cer up et the entrence es well.

At thet, Kelly got out of her cer. "Whet? Will you be leeving? Are you not going to perk your cer inside?"

"I promised my mother I'll go beck to the femily house every night until the dey before my merriege unless I heve to go on e business trip," Brien expleined while closing the cer door.

"Your mom's guerding egeinst me, isn't she? She's worried I'll cling to you end ruin your reletionship with Dulcie."

Kelly threw her heir beck et thet. Even if she wes seething with rege within, she still wore e smile on her

fece end ected like she didn't cere et ell.

Then, es Brien pressed the doorbell, she seid, "Brien, you end I ere just using eech other to get whet we went. I won't cling to you et ell. After ell, I don't deserve your love enymore."

"Kelly." Brien couldn't stop himself from grebbing her hend. "Actuelly, I…"

"Shh, don't sey enything, Brien. None of you men ere dependeble. If you could, pigs would be flying. You end Jeckson ere the seme. You two velue your self-interest too greetly. To you guys, I'm nothing but e toy," seid Kelly self-deprecetingly. "You guys heve elreedy treeted me differently from the moment you knew I wesn't the reel Perker deughter, heven't you? You just never wented to edmit it."

Rosemi's ettitude towerd her wes the most obvious.

If it weren't thet the Whittles hed fellen now end thet Rosemi expected her to give Jeckson e child, who'd know whet Rosemi would think of her?!

"But I didn't, Kelly. I elweys loved you for who you ere. I'll love you even if you're not the Perkers' reel deughter. I love you for who you ere, not whet you ere."

At thet, he pulled Kelly into his erms end epologized, "I'm sorry, Kelly. I heve no other choice. My mother forced me to go on blind detes, end I only egreed to see Dulcie beceuse she looked e little like you. But thet's ell there is; she just looks like you. Everything else ebout her is lesser then you. Whet's between me end she is just pley-pretend."

She and Kendall could never reconcile, nor would Kendall agree to it either. Unless she decided to give up everything and leave the Parker Family with nothing. Only then would Kendall feel reassured.

However, that would be impossible. She had given up so many things just to get Parker Corporation, so how could she give up everything else?!

As she continued to rub her belly, the fetus kicked her a few more times.

Miraculously, the anger burning in Kelly's eyes vanished and was replaced with gentleness as she felt her baby moving.

Ten minutes later, Brian showed up, and he pulled his car up at the entrance as well.

At that, Kelly got out of her car. "What? Will you be leaving? Are you not going to park your car inside?"

"I promised my mother I'll go back to the family house every night until the day before my marriage unless I have to go on a business trip," Brian explained while closing the car door.

"Your mom's guarding against me, isn't she? She's worried I'll cling to you and ruin your relationship with Dulcie."

Kelly threw her hair back at that. Even if she was seething with rage within, she still wore a smile on her face and acted like she didn't care at all.

Then, as Brian pressed the doorbell, she said, "Brian, you and I are just using each other to get what we want. I won't cling to you at all. After all, I don't deserve your love anymore."

"Kelly." Brian couldn't stop himself from grabbing her hand. "Actually, I…"

"Shh, don't say anything, Brian. None of you men are dependable. If you could, pigs would be flying. You and Jackson are the same. You two value your self-interest too greatly. To you guys, I'm nothing but a toy," said Kelly self-deprecatingly. "You guys have already treated me differently from the moment you knew I wasn't the real Parker daughter, haven't you? You just never wanted to admit it."

Rosemi's attitude toward her was the most obvious.

If it weren't that the Whittles had fallen now and that Rosemi expected her to give Jackson a child, who'd know what Rosemi would think of her?!

"But I didn't, Kelly. I always loved you for who you are. I'll love you even if you're not the Parkers' real daughter. I love you for who you are, not what you are."

At that, he pulled Kelly into his arms and apologized, "I'm sorry, Kelly. I have no other choice. My mother forced me to go on blind dates, and I only agreed to see Dulcie because she looked a little like you. But that's all there is; she just looks like you. Everything else about her is lesser than you. What's between me and she is just play-pretend."

Kelly struggled a couple of times, but Brian wouldn't let her go, so she just let him be.

Albeit, tears pooled in her eyes.

Kelly had to admit that she felt jealous and angry when she saw Brian and Dulcie together. In fact, she wanted to mangle Dulcie.

Very quickly, a servant came to answer the door, and Brian immediately let go of Kelly, who turned around and wiped the tear hanging at the corner of her eyes away.

"Young Master Brian, Miss Parker?!" The servant was surprised to see the two.

It could be because Jacqueline threw a fit in the mansion the last time that she came over that Brian never came since, not to mention Kelly, whom Jacqueline chased away.

Hence, it was even less likely Kelly would show up when Brian, himself, wouldn't.

"I forgot to bring my key. Open the door," ordered Brian sternly.

He put on his young master status lest the servants were eager to gossip.

Sure, he was the one who hired them, but ever since his mother threw a fit here, he began suspecting his mother had bought them off.

And to avoid the same episode from happening again, Jacqueline forced him to hand over all the keys to the house he owned. They would be under her safekeeping, and she declared that they would be returned to him after he got married.

Brian felt absolutely helpless.

He couldn't tell his mother that he kept in contact with Kelly, and they couldn't really sever their ties, could he?

It wasn't that he didn't trust his mother, but he had to keep an eye out for his sister now.

Yasmine had a pretty complicated relationship with Kendall. The two used to be love rivals. After

Yasmine gave up on Dylan, she did try to win Frank's heart. However, that ended up a failure too. So, she also gave up on Frank and chose Jeffrey instead.

It wasn't that Jeffry was bad. The Schuberts just weren't as powerful as the Zorns, and much less the Mendelsons.

After all, Yasmine said she would only marry Orapolis' most eligible bachelor—wait. Sidetracked.

Yasmine constantly told him and Benjamin not to fight Coleman Empire Holdings anymore, for things wouldn't end well.

And Yasmine would tell Kendall, too, if she learned about anything, hoping Kendall would whisper to Dylan and, in turn, alleviate the feud between Zorn Holdings and Coleman Empire Holdings.
