"Did you just wake up?" Sally asked immediately.

Hearing this, Kendall replied embarrassingly, "I slept very late yesterday, so I took my time to wake up today. How are you feeling now, Mom? I'll visit you soon."

She was about to mention the following Saturday when she remembered that she had prior engagements, so she changed her thoughts.

This habit of hers was exactly the same as Dylan.

"I've recovered a lot now. The only thing I can't do is labor intensive work. If you're busy, you don't have to come back. With the blazing weather nowadays, you won't stay for long, seeing how you need to travel back and forth." Sally smiled. "It's good enough to know that you still think about me."

"It's okay. I can just request two days off from my father and stay with you guys."

"Kendall, no." Sally quickly persuaded her, "Your work is more important. If you keep taking days off, Adam might think that you're slacking off."

"Mom, it's really fine."

"Just listen to your mother and work hard. If you have more time, spend it with Charlotte. We are getting by just fine. You don't have to worry about us."

Remembering that her biological parents did not like her contacting the Woodses so frequently, Kendall could only reply, "Okay. I'll listen to you and only head back during the weekend."

She was not going to take any days off, for she had done that so many times to the point where even her secretary was complaining.

"Kendall."

"Yes, Mom?"

After a short pause, Sally continued, "You're a member of a prominent family now, so you need to keep your image up. You can't butt into everything like you used to and stand up for everyone. No matter what you do, you need to think about your family and consider if your decision would affect them. Also, be careful when driving; I know you love to drive fast."

When she was chatting with Dylan earlier, she came to find out that Kendall loved to drive at high speeds, so Sally reminded her about that..

Just as Kendall was mumbling begrudgingly while her mother was trying to make out what she was saying, she questioned her instead, "Mom, did Dylan snitch on me?"

Ever since she was caught red-handed while driving recklessly the first time, Charlotte was also informed by Dylan immediately after.

It landed her in the situation where she could not even drive whenever she went back to the Parkers.

"Master Dylan did not snitch on you. He's just worried about you. After all, I raised you myself, so I know you better than anyone. Anyway, just drive slower in the future."

"Mom, I can't even touch a steering wheel now, thanks to your son-in-law forbidding me to drive. I even asked Mother if I could drive her cars and she rejected me too. She's in cahoots with Dylan."

Laughing, Sally replied, "Master Dylan sure is wise."

Kendall was speechless. It's true that mother-in-laws often come to like their son-in-laws more and more. Both my moms have been won over by Dylan just like that.

Ending the call, she knew it was Dylan upon hearing the sound of door unlocking.

As soon as she placed her phone on the bedside table, the door opened.

Standing up, she walked out of the bedroom barefooted to the sight of Ronnie pushing Dylan in.

"Get out, Ronnie!" The moment Dylan saw her, he bellowed out the command.

Ronnie let go of the wheelchair and turned around before leaving, all in one smooth motion.

From the start to when he left, Ronnie did not even so much glance at her.

"What's wrong?" Kendall asked Dylan perplexingly.

She walked over as Dylan stood up before approaching toward each other.

He placed his fingers on her shirt, smoothing out the creases of her somewhat wrinkled pajamas before combing her hair with his hands. At last, his gaze landed on her bare feet.

With furrowed eyebrows, he had a deep gaze paired with his pursed lips.

That's his expression when he's angry.

"I-I'll put on my shoes now."

Knowing that being barefooted angered him, Kendall wanted to head back to the bedroom quickly.

Yet, she only took one step forward before she found herself levitating. In a moment of panic, she reached out to grab anything she could and held onto his shirt, then holding by his neck.

"Dylan!" Kendall shouted.

"Call me darling."

Looking at him, she could not help but laugh. "I'm just concerned that if I call you darling, you will slap yourself again."

Dylan could not refute her. After all, he did say that he did not allow her to call her that.

Now that he was requesting her to call her 'darling', it would be equivalent to him slapping himself once everytime she said it.

Reminded of that, he carried his wife and slowly walked into the bedroom, throwing her on the bed.

Since she was thrown on top of the bed, it did not hurt.

Kendall, who was not angry at all, laughed sneakily instead and twirled her hair before saying seductively, "Dylan, your actions made me think that you would devour me like the hungry wolf that you are."

This made Dylan look at her passionately.

Lying on the bed with her silky hair on the pillow while her red lips and bright eyes remained as captivating as they were, she did not need to do anything as that was enough to drive him mad.

At that moment, he wanted to spend a passionate time with her again.
