"Fine. Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. Though, we should at least come up with a plan to make sure no one traces this back to us." Tom would rather his wife not die just because she helped Kelly.
Rosemi nodded. It would be best if she could erase any suspicion. If there was a choice, she wanted to live.
While the Whittles were trying to come up with a plan to erase their trace from the upcoming murder, Dylan and Kendall were chatting with the Parker couple. Kendall eventually started yawning, and Charlotte told her and Dylan to head upstairs to get some sleep.
"I'll go to bed now, Mommy. You and Daddy should rest early, too. Oh, Sally and her family are coming tomorrow, aren't they?"
Charlotte smiled. "Yeah. Don't worry. We're going on this trip together."
The trip would go on for two days, and then the Colemans would send the gift list over. After that, they would have to prepare for the wedding. Back when Dylan and Kendall got officially married, Charlotte was already preparing the gift list for her daughter. From the moment Kendall was born, she was taken away from them. She hadn't spent a single day growing up by their side, and Charlotte thought she owed Kendall a lot.
Even though the Woodses raised her well, Charlotte still thought the Parkers could have done better. Thinking Kendall had lived a rough life, Charlotte wanted to make up for lost time with the gift list. Charlotte came from a well-to-do family as well. Back when she got married to Adam, he gave her a lot of presents, and her parents gave her a mountain of gift list as well. After so many years of investment,
she also had a sizable portfolio. And now, aside from her usual accessories, she would give all her jewelry to Kendall.
She left a few sets of jewelry for Kelly as well. After all, they did raise Kelly.
Apart from that, Charlotte would give seventy percent of her real estate, shops, funds, stocks, and savings to Kendall. Wouldn't want the Colemans to look down on my daughter now. Kendall was the only daughter she had, so she would give Kendall everything she had. The thirty percent remainder was for her golden years. If Kelly still cared about them, Charlotte would've gifted some of her wealth to Kelly when Kelly found a man who would marry her despite her past. Even though Kelly wasn't her real daughter, she did raise her with her own two hands. Charlotte could never be cruel enough to give her nothing at all.
Adam planned to give his daughter some real estate, shops, and cars. He would also give Kendall ten percent of Parker Corporation's shares. Once she could prove to be a good manager for the company, he would give her the remaining shares.
As for Kelly, he would also give her something—the branch company in Albarife. However, of course, it would be an independent entity. The business at the branch was going smoothly, and it could rake in millions per year. Kelly was someone he raised to be his successor, so she was capable enough to run a company. If she took over the branch in Albarife, Adam was confident she could make it big. If it could make it to the stock exchange, Kelly would be a multi-millionaire. Other than that, he would also give her a small villa and a condominium. However, Adam didn't tell Kelly that. He wanted to observe her more.
"Kendall's having no problems with her pregnancy. Can't say the same for mine, though," said
Charlotte softly. Back when she was pregnant with Kendall, she started having morning sickness six weeks in, and it persisted until labor. And she had to go through a lot of pain just to give birth to Kendall. Yet, her romantic rival had switched Kendall out for someone else. Thus, in the end, Charlotte raised someone else's daughter.
"Kendall is blessed," said Adam. "Dylan's nice to her and spoils her a lot. To the point that everyone in Orapolis says Dylan loves his wife to the core. And it's thanks to Kendall that our company is running well." He sighed. "And thank the ancestors that Kendall got smarter. When she first came back to us, she had nothing but love in her head and was head over heels for Jackson."
Back when Kendall was reborn, Adam wasn't nice to her. He was frustrated because of how head over heels she was for Jackson. They seldom talked to each other, and Kendall didn't care about her career, so Adam was naturally disappointed in her. However, when she started working hard and got married to Dylan, Adam started having high hopes for her.
"Thank the gods she snapped out of it, but then Kelly… What did our girls do to deserve this? Jackson is such a walking disaster. Kelly would have turned out to be a fine woman if not for him. And now, she wants to give birth to his child."
"It's her baby. I can understand why she won't abort it." Adam had accepted the fact that Kelly got pregnant out of marriage, but he couldn't accept her hooking up with Brian despite her pregnancy. Best not to think about it. It breaks my heart.
"We should go to sleep now. We have a road trip tomorrow, so it will be best to head out early. Don't want to get scorched, after all. It's snowing elsewhere now, but Orapolis is still as hot as an oven." Adam stood up and pulled Rosemi up.
They went upstairs, and Rosemi reminisced, "In the first winter after our marriage, you took me to Icecity for some skiing. That was a cold place, and it even froze my phone at some point. It couldn't turn on, and even if it did, it didn't have a signal. After that, we had Kendall, and I had to take care of her. You had work to do, so we rarely got the chance to have a vacation. I'm glad Kendall's offering to take us on a road trip."
Adam grunted. "I'll have more time when I retire. We'll go wherever we want. Ah, guess we'll have to take our grandchildren, too."
"Nah. The Colemans will do it. They have a lot of people, and this is their first child in the fourth generation. They'll do it for us. Unless Kendall gives birth to a boy, of course. But if it's a girl, I'm pretty sure we'll have to wait in line just to see the baby."
Adam smiled. "They do love girls."
You bet, Charlotte thought.
They tiptoed to Kendall's room and listened. Hmm, nothing's happening. They went back to their room soon after.
Kendall was tired. After she got out of the bathroom, she crawled into the bed and fell asleep. When Dylan came out, she was already in deep slumber.
"She slept already? I didn't even have my goodnight kiss yet." Dylan shook his head, smiling. Then, he leaned over to kiss her forehead. "I'll give you a kiss, then."
