Hearing about what would happen to her future son, Kendall felt bad for their eldest son, although she didn't know when she’d meet her son.

"Is the succession by right of primogeniture?"

"Generally, yes. Just as I've said, except if the firstborn son is mediocre, or else the successor would be based on the right of primogeniture. His siblings would play more of an assisting role. Since the Coleman Family is a big family with many businesses, even if you're not the successor, you'll have to be in charge of other businesses, which isn't easy either."

There were fifteen young men in the man, including him, who were involved in other businesses under the Coleman Empire Holdings, but he was the one leading them. As a successor, he had a heavy burden on his shoulders and had a lot to learn.

Unlike his other siblings, who could select which businesses to manage based on their forte, the successor didn't have such a privilege. He would have to be thoroughly familiar with all the businesses that their family business was involved in. This was so that if anything happened to one of the subsidiaries which couldn't be resolved by the person in charge, he, as the head of the family, would have to be there to straighten things out. So if he wasn't outstanding enough, he wouldn't be able to perform the job.

"Based on our genes, I believe that our children wouldn't be mediocre. Oh, actually, there's a way to not have our child be the next successor of the Coleman Family."

"How? What way?" she asked immediately as she didn't want her future child to be exhausted like Dylan.

"We can have daughters because daughters don't have to take over the family business. They can just live a good life."

She was speechless after hearing that. Then, noticing that, he lightly pinched the alluring moist lips he had just kissed.

"Let's not think that far ahead since we don't have children yet. Actually, if you are used to it, you will be able to manage your time. Just like how I do it."

He worked efficiently, so he didn't have to work overtime at night. Moreover, he didn't have to socialize after work, so he could spend more time at home with his family.

Kendall, on the other hand, seemed busier than him, and she had been spending less and less time with him. However, he couldn't say anything since he fully supported her in having a career. On top of that, he supported her in competing with Kelly for Parker Corporation. Thus, even if she was too busy to spend time with him, he could only tolerate it.

"That's true. Let's not think about what will happen in the future, as it will only add to our worries."

"I'm here with you, so you don't have to worry too much."

"But I want to be someone that you can lean on."

"You can just let me lean on you now."

With that, he leaned his head against her shoulder. She then put her arm around his shoulder, and the couple leaned on each other as they looked at the stars in the night sky.



Meanwhile, at the Mendelson Residence, Frank was throwing a fit.

"What did you just cook? Even the pigs won't eat it if you feed it to them."

He tossed the utensils on the dining table and pointed at the dishes on the table as he scolded Amelia, who he had 'invited' over to take care of him. She had been exhausted after preparing so many dishes by herself as per his request. She wasn't expecting his compliment, but she was just hoping that he wouldn't find fault with her. However, pigs might fly if he didn't find fault with her.

"Before I cooked dinner, I had already told you that I'm not a good cook. My forte is photography, not cooking." She sounded annoyed. "You have already hired chefs from five-star hotels, but you'd rather have me cook dinner for you. Ever since I've been asked over at 3.00PM, I have been preparing for your dinner till now, and I'm exhausted."

Hearing that, Frank glared at her and said coldly, "Don't think that you can act up when I'm recovering from my injuries. Believe it or not, I'll get someone to force feed you all of these dishes!"

Amelia was startled when she heard that. Instinctively, she lashed out at him because she was too angry earlier on.

"About that… President Mendelson, if the food is really not edible, there's still time if you want to eat out."

Right after, he held up a plate of food and tossed it at her. Since he practiced martial arts, he had quick hands. Amelia, on the other hand, was caught off guard, and the food had landed on her head. Her head and face were instantly covered with oily food. She jumped up as she tried to remove them from her head. The food was exceptionally oily because she purposely used a lot of oil during cooking just to waste his oil. That b*atard! I hate him so much! My head and face are now covered in oil!

That made her want to kill him. She just wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart. Alas, she didn't have the ability or courage to do so. She could only glare at him as tears started welling up in her eyes.

"I'll toss another plate at you if you glare at me!"
