Meanwhile, Dylan happened to step out of his bathroom, sitting in his wheelchair just when he heard a knock on the door. "Young Master Dylan, are you asleep?" While Amos' voice was heard from the other side of the door, he wheeled himself toward the door and opened it, whereupon he was greeted by the butler. "Young Master Dylan, Young Mistress Kendall is still not back, and it's already 11.30 PM now." He added in a concerned manner, "Old Madam Coleman should be long asleep by now."
Dylan knitted his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know why Grandma sent for Kendall, Amos? You must have told her that I'm going to accept my physiotherapy treatment, right?"
"I'm sorry, Young Master Dylan." Amos realized that he had just put Kendall in trouble. After all, while Tilly was already unhappy with Kendall, the fact that she returned home late only added to her dissatisfaction. Thus, he believed Tilly must have been so mad that she had sent for Kendall to lock her up in the main house. At the thought of that, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of punishment was waiting for Kendall.
On the other hand, Dylan didn't seem to blame that on Amos. Instead, he instructed him to bring Kendall back. "Get her back here now. Tell Tia that I'm hungry, and I need her to make me supper."
"Alright, Young Master Dylan. I'll do it right away." With Dylan's order, Amos now had a reason to get Kendall out of her dilemma as he hurriedly left the place.
Meanwhile, Kendall fell asleep with Alice in the latter's room right after the two ladies chatted for a bit until they were awoken by a loud noise outside. "What's going on?"
Alice sat bolt upright and grabbed her sleeping robe to put it on. Then, she looked at Kendall and said, "Stay here. I'm going to check out what's going on."
"I'll come with you." Kendall was just as curious to know what was going on.
In the meantime, the main house was brightened up with lights, with every maid who worked there busy looking for Kendall. Despite going through every nook and cranny in the main house, except Tilly and Alice's room, they couldn't find any signs of Kendall. "Shh! Keep your voice down. You don't want to wake Old Madam Tilly and Miss Alice from their sleep." Tia urged her people to keep their voices down.
"Tia, what are we going to do if we can't find Young Mistress Kendall? Young Master Dylan wants her back now." Vivian was so worried that her face changed. After all, it was her who escorted Kendall away from Dylan. Thus, she was afraid that Dylan would blame it on her now that Kendall was nowhere to be found. At the thought of Dylan's stern look, she began to shake like a leaf.
Soon, Amos wondered and asked, "Do you think she sneaked out climbing over the wall? She is not familiar with this area, so she could easily get lost out there. So, why don't we go out there and search for her? But of course, we can't let our young masters know about that." Especially Young Master Dylan.
"You think she climbed over the wall?" Tia shifted her eyes to the wall that was six feet high.
Amos then explained why he thought that way. "Young Mistress Kendall used to run a training institution, having been trained in Taekwondo and sparring. So, she definitely has what it takes to climb over the wall."
"Then, she might have likely climbed over the wall and sneaked out." Tia proceeded to instruct her
people to change their focus elsewhere. "Search for her outside the main house. I'll see if I can find anything useful from the security footage." As she was about to walk away, she saw two ladies looking at them curiously by the door. At that moment, Tia was rendered speechless by what she saw after all the trouble she and her people went through to find Kendall, only to realize that she had hit it off with Alice and was sleeping in her room with her until they came. Well, if we didn't wake them up from their sleep, we'd still be searching for them probably until dawn.
"What are you guys searching for, Tia?"
"Miss Alice, Young Master Dylan would like Young Mistress Kendall back to make him supper, so he sent Amos here to collect her, but when I went upstairs earlier, she was nowhere to be found, which was why I gathered everyone around to search for her, only to realize she was with you all the time."
Alice grunted indifferently, feeling annoyed as she thought her brother would send someone to pick Kendall up within half an hour, but in the end, she ended up falling asleep before that happened. Well, what do you expect, Dylan? Your people took longer than they should to get your wife, so don't you blame it on me for that.
"Young Mistress Kendall, Master Dylan would like you to make him supper, so please hurry up and go back with Amos. Don't let Young Master Dylan wait any longer." Tia heaved a sigh of relief and urged Kendall to make a move. After all the trouble that night, everyone in the main house could finally see how important Kendall was to Dylan.
About ten minutes later, Kendall entered the house and was greeted by the sight of the man who was waiting for her in the living room. She then walked toward the kitchen and asked, "What's your craving, Dylan?" novelbin
"No need for that." Dylan added coldly, "The supper was just an excuse for Amos to get you back here. Go back to your room and get some sleep."
Kendall was stunned as she turned around and looked at the man who appeared to be indifferent. Then, she walked up to Dylan and bent over, helping him sit in his wheelchair before wheeling him to her room. "That's not my room."
"You own the entire building, so tell me which room isn't yours."
Dylan was rendered speechless, not expecting Kendall to refute him with his own words. "Are you shy, Dylan? Relax, it's all going to be fine. It's not like you and I haven't slept together before."
Kendall's words left Dylan speechless once again as his ears blushed. At the same time, Kendall noticed that and secretly chuckled, finding it amusing to see how talking about their intimate moment could make him feel embarrassed. Later that night, Dylan had trouble falling asleep with the audacious lady by his side while he kept dreaming about the lady with whom he shared an intimate moment. Ugh! Come on, Morpheus! Not this one again? I need a new dream. This same old dream is really killing me. While he complained to himself silently, his 'shameless' wife wouldn't stop rubbing his chest with her own body. Feeling her soft skin while sensing the aroma from her body, Dylan felt a strong urge to make love to her but quickly restrained himself due to his legs' condition.
Unless Kendall was willing to initiate and take charge of their intimate moment, Dylan knew he could never enjoy the pleasures of the flesh for now. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to speak his mind, not to mention the fact that Kendall had always thought he was incapable of enjoying intimacy. Is that the reason that she keeps touching me?
It was only when it was nearly dawn that Dylan's dream finally stopped bothering him. While he had
just drifted off not long ago, Kendall woke up at 6.30 AM sharp, thanks to her consistent circadian rhythm. The moment she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on Dylan's arm, whereupon she quickly rolled to the side out of fear that he would catch and strangle her if she wasn't quick enough. Fortunately, she managed to free herself without waking Dylan up because he was too sound asleep.
However, since it was a Saturday morning, Kendall didn't have to go to work, so she continued to lie down beside Dylan lazily and admired his looks in his sleep. He is so handsome! Caressing his face, she leaned closer to him and tried to kiss his lips, but at the same time, the man opened his eyes, unknowingly frightening her as she rolled away from him and fell off the bed. While she moaned in pain, Dylan sat up straight to check on her. When he saw her on the ground, he curled his lips upward and smiled, but as soon as she got back on her feet, he hid his smile and looked at her coldly. "Hehe." Dylan reacted with a stern look on his face.
"Hehe. Good morning, Dylan."
"Did you bump your head from a concussion that just made you dumb? Your smile looks silly."
Kendall rubbed her lips, still feeling the pain from the fall. "I bumped my lips onto the floor, but my head is fine, so I'm still sane for sure."
