Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 328

"You guys don't have to feel intimidated. He might look aloof, but he's actually pretty benign." Kendall tried to put in a good word for Dylan, causing Adam to chuckle.

That was because Dylan had fallen in love with her. Even so, he was only benign toward his daughter. Then again, it was good like that, for he needn't worry the man would cheat on his daughter.

Knock, knock… A rap came at the door.

"Come in."

Kelly entered. Seeing that Kelly had arrived before her, she shifted her gaze away for a split second before sauntering in nonchalantly.

"You wanted to see me, Dad?"

To that, Adam hummed a response, then gestured for Kelly to take a seat.

Kelly pulled the chair closer and sat next to Kendall. After taking a gander at the woman, she drifted her gaze to her father, beaming. "What is it, Dad?"

"Kelly, are you certain you want to keep the baby?"

Kelly's smile froze for a second upon hearing so. However, she still nodded and said softly, "It's still a life, after all. I can't bring myself to lose it."

"Have you told Jackson about your decision to keep the baby?" Adam asked grimly, fighting back his urge to blow a fuse.

After a moment of hesitation, Kelly nodded.

"What did he say?"

"He wants me to keep the baby too. Dad, Jackson and I—he doesn't actually love Krystal. He only married her because…" Kelly couldn't continue on.

She wanted to defend Jackson, but what he did made it hard for her to even go against her conscience to do so.

"That wretched b*stard!" cussed Adam as he slammed his palm on the desk, pretty disappointed with Kelly as well.

Meanwhile, Kendall left the room to return with a glass of water. "Here, Dad. Have some water. Don't get too upset."

After taking the glass of water from Kendall, Adam looked toward Kelly, who also happened to be staring at him. Both of their gazes burned ablaze, on the verge of entering a fight.

"Dad, Kelly's an adult. She has the ability to bear the consequences of her actions. Since she has chosen to keep the baby, she must have prepared herself to be a single mother and is also ready to face the world's criticisms. There's no need to be upset over her."

"Stay out of my business, Kendall!" Kelly felt nothing but animosity for Kendall at this point.

If that woman hadn't told their parents about her pregnancy, she wouldn't have clashed with them, broken their hearts, and caused them to be disappointed in her.

People sure acted differently after they found themselves a solid backer. The old Kendall wouldn't even dare raise her voice at her, and she barely knew anybody either. But now, that woman just needed to whisper to her backer, and someone would eagerly dig into whatever she wanted to know.

Kelly knew well that her nausea in the elevator made Kendall suspicious, and she only used her backer's power to obtain proof of her pregnancy.

Kendall sniggered in response. "Don't worry, I'm not a fan of poking my nose into other people's businesses. I don't even want to bother myself with your business even if I'm asked to. I just feel bad for my parents, and I don't want them to be upset over you."

Kendall was rendered at a loss for words.

"Kendall, please let us speak in private."

Adam didn't want his girls to get into a fight. Even if Kelly wasn't their own, they had raised her like their own daughter in the past twenty-plus years, after all.

How could he favor one and not the other?

Kendall obliged and left the office in two shakes.

"Kelly, Kendall's right about one thing. You're already an adult, so you have to bear the consequences of your actions. I won't force you to drop the child either, but hand over your work to someone else in the next couple of days. I want you to pack up and oversee our sub-company in Albarife."

Kelly's face tensed upon hearing so. "Dad—"
