Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 247

Dylan stared at Toddy for a full minute before saying in a low voice, "Alright, I got it. I only hope that you don't come to regret it in the future. I don't want you coming to me for my help when you decide to win her back someday."

"Worry not, for that day will not come."

Seeing Toddy confidently declaring that made Dylan smirk.

God loved slapping people in the face.

Dylan, too, thought that he would never fall for Kendall when they applied for their marriage certificate.

Of course, he only ended up receiving a big, resonating slap on his face.

On the other hand, Toddy felt that there was something hidden behind Dylan's smile, but he didn't know what it was.

Toddy continued to stand outside Dylan's office after he came out.

He finally strode to Emma's desk after he collected himself.

Noticing him in front of her, she lifted her head and was about to flash him a professional smile when he, without an expression on his face, reached toward her bouquet. He then placed the flowers on the floor with her watching, and stomped the pretty bouquet into a mess.

With the ruined flowers came a broken heart.

He had brutally destroyed such beauty.

Emma slowly wiped off the smile on her face. Standing up, she stared at the bouquet that was stepped on on the floor.

"Can you explain your behavior, Mr. Heller?"

"President Coleman asked me about your bouquet," Toddy coldly hissed. "Emma Finley, I don't care about your personal affairs, but don't blame me for being cruel if your personal life starts affecting your work."

She only calmly looked at him as he continued, "Clean up this mess on the floor. It doesn't matter who gives you flowers from now on. You are not allowed to bring it into the office."

He didn't feel an ounce of guilt, and neither did he care about how she felt after destroying her bouquet. All he did was throw out that one warning before he left.

Ronnie and the rest had watched the scene unfold, but none of them dared to make a sound as they kept an impassive look on their faces.

After Toddy left, Emma walked out from behind the desk, and quietly went to get a broom to clean up the flowers that had been trampled.

Her heart was starting to grow cold from his cold-bloodedness.

Maybe it's time for me to let go.

Emma had been pursuing him for so long that even the coldest ice would have melted at this point.

However, Toddy's heart was colder than an iceberg.

After cleaning the place, she put the broom back in its original position and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. It looked as though nothing had happened when she returned to her office and continued to work.

It was as expected of someone who worked alongside Dylan.

Even if she was treated so coldly by the man she liked, Emma could still carry on with work without being affected as if nothing had happened.

At the same time in the Parker Corporation, Charlotte had an insulated tiffin box in her hand as she strode into the building. As the wife of the company's president, she had the freedom to enter and leave the company as she pleased.

She went ahead to the top floor and had just come out of the elevator when she bumped into Kelly, who was heading downstairs.

"Mommy? Why are you here?"

Kelly was surprised to see her adoptive mother at the workplace.

"Kendall has been so busy lately that she doesn't even have time to go home. I brought some tonic soup I made for her."

Charlotte had no intention to hide her affection for her birth daughter.

"Oh, you could have told me, Mommy. I could've helped you pass it to Kendall."

Charlotte smiled. "I have missed her face because she hasn't been home for a few days now. I wanted to drop by to see her."

No doubt you are the biological mother, Kelly quietly thought as jealousy consumed her.

Charlotte would make soup for Kelly back when she often worked overtime. It always felt like a matter of course that she could enjoy her mother's love.

Now, a big portion of Charlotte's care was given to Kendall. Kelly didn't dare ask Charlotte to give unconditionally to her like before. After all, Kelly knew she was not Charlotte's biological daughter.

If it wasn't because her adoptive parents were reluctant to part with her, she would have changed her name, left the Parker Family, and left the upper class of Orapolis.

She was filled with disdain just thinking of the environment and circle the Woodses were in.

Kelly didn't want to be one of the Woodses. She wanted to be the head of the Parker Family!

"Oh, go ahead and get Kendall then, Mommy. I have something to attend to."

Charlotte only gave a small hum in reply as she walked past Kelly.

"Ugh—"

All of a sudden, Kelly felt her stomach turn, and she dashed toward the nearest trash can in front of the elevator with her hand over her mouth before she threw up.

Charlotte hadn't walked off far when she heard it.

Quickly rushing back to her, she asked, "Kelly! What is wrong?!"

As she caringly asked, she even walked behind Kelly and gently patted her on the back.

Kelly took out a tissue to wipe her lips with after she emptied the contents of her stomach. "I must have gotten a cold from setting the aircon's temperature too low last night."

"Look at you! You never listen even though I always remind you to not turn the air conditioner's temperature too low. If you want to, you have to cover yourself in a blanket. Quickly, nnow. Go get yourself checked at the hospital. Don't do anything else for now. I will tell your father to give you a day off."

"Mommy, I am fine. I only feel a little light-headed. I don't even have a fever. There is no need to take leave."
