Amelia said sheepishly, "I was worried you might be busy. So, you've decided on the date of the wedding? When is it?"
"In ten days. I was talking to Emma about it. I can't believe you still haven't come back when the wedding's just around the corner," Kendall grumbled, but there was a smile on her face. The Parkers and the Woodses were slowly getting over their grief, accepting the fact that Kelly did something abominable. With the wedding drawing near, they had to step up to prepare her dowry.
The Colemans' bridewealth was exorbitant, and that was putting it lightly. Adam and Charlotte had to pile up the dowry, for they didn't want their daughter to look bad. Even though the Colemans adored her, they still wanted to marry off their daughter as grandly as possible, or the Colemans might look down on her.
Since everyone was feeling happy, Kendall was in a good mood as well.
"Ten days? Oh, I need to book my flight right away. Did you pick my attire out for me? I don't think I can make it in time to pick the clothes out." Amelia was panicking, and she grumbled, "You should've told me sooner."
"I would have, if you had just turned your phone on. As it was, I had to wait, but you have enough time. I've picked the attires out for you and Emma."
Dylan had ordered a custom-made gown for Kendall, while the bridesmaids' attire was picked at a bridal shop. Emma and Amelia were young, beautiful, and slim. They could wear anything and look great in them.
"What about your friends? Aren't they coming?"
"Either they have no time, or they need to take care of their kids," Kendall said, but she knew the real reason was that they thought she was leagues above them now. They didn't even call her. She had to call them if she wanted to even make small talk. Her friends thought they were in two different worlds now, so they were a bit intimidated by the prospect of calling her, even though Kendall kept telling them they were still friends no matter what.
"They have their own families now. I can understand why, especially if they have young children. It's alright. Emma and I can be your bridesmaids. Talk to you later. I have to pack up and go to the airport. My flight is scheduled for this afternoon." Amelia wanted to be back right away.
"Amy, about Frank…"
Amelia was about to hang up, but when she heard Frank's name, she asked, "What about him?" After messing around for so long, Amelia finally calmed down and chose to not run away from Frank.
"It's alright. We'll talk when you're back. What's your ETA? Where are you anyway? How long is the flight going to take?"
"I'll text you when I get the ticket."
"Sure. If you can make it back early, let's have dinner together at my place."
Amelia smiled. "Going out right after I go home? My mom's going to kill me. Make it tomorrow."
"I can work with that." She hung up and looked at Dylan, who was coming in with a jacket. She looked at him with a gentle smile. "I'm not feeling cold."
Dylan draped the jacket over her shoulder. "The winds are howling today. It's chilly here. So, who was it? You seem happy."
"Oh, it's my bridesmaid."
"Amelia."
"Yep."
Dylan pulled her up and helped her wear the jacket. Kendall softly said, "You're so nice to me. I can feel myself getting spoiled. What if I become a useless bum who needs everyone to do everything for me?"
He gave her a peck on her lips. "Don't call yourself a useless bum. I'm your husband. Of course, I have to be nice to you." He held Kendall in his embrace and they left the pavilion together.
"I'd like to see the snow. It's snowing in the north, but it's still about sixty degrees here in Orapolis during the day. The only time it's cool is the night."
"I'll bring you to see the snow next year, after the baby is born."
They couldn't make it this year as she was pregnant. Even if she was having a smooth pregnancy, he wouldn't dare to take her up north just to see the snow, or else his grandmother would smack him on the head. They even canceled their honeymoon just so Kendall could rest well after childbirth.
It was regrettable, but Kendall was understanding. She was the one who was eager to have a baby after all. "So, are we taking the baby with us?"
"Amy, about Frank…"
Amelia was about to hang up, but when she heard Frank's name, she asked, "What about him?" After messing around for so long, Amelia finally calmed down and chose to not run away from Frank.
"She's just a few months old then. We shouldn't take her anywhere that cold."
Kendall said, "Okay, then I'm not going either."
Even though Kelly and Jackson were arrested, Kendall was still scared. She had decided she would never be away from the baby for too long at any given time, and she would care for the baby herself.
"Um, you don't want to have some alone time with me?" The baby's taking my spot away even before she's born. Dylan was suddenly a little jealous of the baby.
"We've had enough time alone."
"Alright, then we're just going to have one baby."
"Why? I thought you liked kids. We're allowed to have three. Well, we are not getting three, but two should be fine. The baby would love a sibling. A girl and a boy would be wonderful."
"You're already pushing me back on the priority list even before the baby is born. If we get a second
child, they're going to take up all of your attention. You'd never pay attention to me again."
Um…
"Master Dylan." Amos came and broke the conversation up. "Master Dylan, Mr. Mendelson is here again. Do you want to see him?"
If it was in the past, he wouldn't have seen Frank, but now he would do it. At least this was a good distraction from the topic. "Let him in." Dylan held Kendall's hand and gently said, "We'll go back inside. The winds are getting stronger. The weather forecast said the cold is going to settle in the south. The temperature's going down tonight."
"It won't be too cold anyway. I can't even wear any winter clothes you bought for me because it's hot."
He bought a lot of clothes for her every single season, and she had a closet room for every single season's attire from every big brand except for Laura's brand. Everyone knew why. Losing the support of Alice and Kendall hurt her brand, but Dylan showed mercy since she did hint to Kendall to look out for Kelly tampering with her clothes.
