Love Knows No Bounds

---

"Dylan, promise me you'll stop beating yourself up, okay? We can take things slow. I believe your grandmother will give her blessings to our relationship someday. Perhaps I'm not good enough now, but I'll work hard to make myself a better person so that I'll be good enough to match your standards one day," Kendall uttered.

"Kendall… It's not about how good you are. Grandma's just…" Dylan was in a lot of pain. On the one hand, his grandmother was the one who cared for him as he grew up, but on the other hand, Kendall was the love of his life. He was caught in the middle, and he felt like he was torn between two ends. It hurt him a lot!

"Don't be sad, darling. We're not getting a divorce, nor are we breaking up. I'm just staying at my parents' place for a while. You can think of it as me heading home for a vacation." Kendall was worried that Dylan would feel bad about this matter—she didn't want that to happen.

"Thank you for not blaming or hating me, Kendall," he replied.

"You once said that a married couple is the most intimate relationship one can have. We're going to spend the rest of our lives together, so you don't need to be so courteous with your words. We both know that this is a part of Frank's evil plan. He's doing this on purpose, and it's not either of our faults at all," Kendall said.

Frank! I should've beaten him up more the last time, Dylan thought with a cold glare in his eyes. "I bet you haven't eaten anything, darling. You have to remember to have your meals. Don't starve yourself. I'm hungry now too, and I'm about to head downstairs to eat. I think I'm not going to head to the office today. I want to stay home and rest for a day," Kendall continued. She tried her best to act as if she were fine when comforting Dylan, but deep down, she felt miserable as well. She would've felt bad if she were misunderstood and kicked out of her husband's house, but it felt even worse now that she was in love with Dylan.

"Alright. I'll eat, too," Dylan replied. "Let me give you a kiss, darling," Kendall said. She pointed her lips toward her phone and made a loud smooching sound so Dylan could hear her. After that, she ended the call. Since they were staying apart, for the time being, the best they could do was to talk on the phone. The longer they spoke, the more they missed one another. To long for someone was never a pleasant feeling.

I miss him so much. I have missed him from the moment we separated. "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you..." Kendall's ringtone filled the room. It was a call from Amelia.

"Are you okay, Kendall? Mrs. Parker told me everything. Old Madam Coleman is too much! And Frank, that madman! He's sick in the head! I can't believe I sympathized with him at one point. His life is miserable only because he's such a horrible person!" Amelia cried the moment Kendall picked up the call. After Amelia received Charlotte's call for help, her first instinct was to give Frank a huge scolding. However, he didn't pick up her call—she figured he was probably hungover from the night before. The next time Frank sends someone over to bring me to him, I'll make sure to avenge my good friend. He's crazy! True love isn't about possession—it's about supporting his one true love and hoping for her happiness. Even if he can't provide her with that happiness, he should be generous enough to offer his support. What Frank feels toward Kendall isn't love at all—it's an obsession! He's simply a lunatic!

"I'd be lying if I said that I'm fine or that I'm not sad. I never knew how much it hurt to get separated from a loved one, Amelia." Kendall didn't feel the need to put on an act in front of her good friend. She was genuinely in a lot of pain and suffering. She had tried her best to change herself and to make herself a better and stronger person, but Tilly's expectations were just too high. Kendall couldn't show a 180-degree change just within a few months! She couldn't receive Tilly's approval at all.

"I'll head over now, Kendall. Let's talk in a while," Amelia said.

"Okay." Amelia was Kendall's best friend in the city. When Kendall was first kicked out of the Coleman Residence, Charlotte was worried about Kendall, so she got Amelia to accompany her daughter.

Knock knock.

Charlotte walked in with a tray of food, and she wore a rather unpleasant look on her face.

"I don't even recognize the daughter I've brought up with my own two hands. She just can't bear to see you happy. She's so glad you've been kicked out of the Coleman Residence. She claimed she's going back to work, but I bet she's just finding some excuse to get out of the house and spread your gossip to the rest of the town," Charlotte hissed while walking in. Kendall immediately knew that she was talking about Kelly.

"I want to talk to your dad about removing her name from our property and getting her to leave our home. She can go back to her birth parents—we don't need her in the Parker Residence," Charlotte continued with her tirade. Kendall stood up and took the tray from her mother while comforting her. "Don't be mad, Mommy. I'm fine." Naturally, Kendall would be more than glad if her parents were harsh enough to kick Kelly out of the house.

"The Colemans will probably spread the news about Old Madam Coleman kicking me out of the house even if Kelly doesn't do it," Kendall uttered. Since Tilly was the one who didn't want Kendall to be with Dylan, she'd probably be the first to spread the news of their separation. Tilly wanted every other girl who liked Dylan to start making a move!

Kendall felt somewhat uneasy as she thought about this. She felt pain in her chest as if she had been stabbed by several knives at once. "You need to have trust in Master Dylan, Kendall. He won't give up on you and date someone else," Charlotte uttered. She had mixed feelings toward Dylan, as he was the one who brought Kendall happiness but also the one who hurt her. "I trust him, Mommy," Kendall replied.

Charlotte nudged her daughter to sit down. "Hurry up and eat. You must be starving." Kendall began to eat while Charlotte gazed at her in concern. Adam walked into the room and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his daughter still had her appetite.
