Love Knows No Bounds

"After breakfast, go back and get a clean shave. I like to see your face clean. Of all your brothers, you're the most like your grandfather."

After a pause, Dylan asked, "Do you love and be protective of me the most because I'm most like Grandpa?"

He was confident that Tilly wouldn't care about his brother's wife as long as it was a woman. However, if they brought a man back, Dylan reckoned Tilly would be open to it too.

"It is true that I love you the most. However, am I overly protective of you? Did I ever control your wishes in your past?"

Dylan pursed his lips when he heard that.

Then, Tilly sighed and asked, "Do you love Kendall that much?"

"Yes, I love her a lot!"

"What about her is worth your effort? You even resorted to a hunger strike for her, and pissed me off."

Tilly sounded a little agitated when she said that.

Then, she took multiple deep breaths to convince herself not to get too emotional.

They couldn't continue the stalemate.

There would be no winner if this continued.

If Dylan starved, Tilly would be heartbroken.

If Tilly got hurt, Dylan would feel guilty too.

If the stalemate continued, an opponent would surely have a chance to attack the company if Dylan never returned to the office.

Tilly remembered the past when Dylan had an accident. The Mendelson Group had united with many companies to suppress the Coleman Empire Holdings.

After suppressing her emotions, Tilly muttered, "I was once young too. I know that love is unreasonable. Love is love; sometimes, when one falls in love, they can never find the reason."

At that moment, Dylan looked straight at Tilly and said, "You know of a recurring dream I have, right?"

Tilly nodded in response.

They had a good relationship. Dylan never told his parents about his recurring dream, but he had told his grandmother.

"Could it be that the woman in your dream is Kendall?" Tilly asked speculatively.

"It's her."

Tilly frowned when she heard that. "How could it be her? When you started to have this dream, I hadn't even sent someone to go to the Parker Family to propose marriage. At that time, you didn't even know who she was, let alone see her in person."

"That's why I never dreamed of her face until I married Kendall."

"Could it be that you fell in love with her and automatically substituted her look into your dream?"

However, Dylan shook his head. "No."

Tilly once again remembered the marriage sign she had asked for Dylan. The master who had interpreted the sign told her that Dylan could return to his usual self by letting him marry Kendall. Otherwise, he would remain disabled and would not have offspring.

Tilly still remembered the words of the master, saying that one must repay the debt from the past.

Regarding that, Tilly hoped it was Kendall who owed Dylan in the past, and not the other way around.

However, judging from what happened, it seems that Dylan is the one who owed Kendall. Looks like I have to free up my schedule to make a trip over again with Dylan and Kendall's birthdate, so I can let the master evaluate their fate. I want to know why Dylan owes Kendall. To repay the debt, Dylan spoiled Kendall and made many exceptions for her.

Tilly never believed in the supernatural, nor did she believe in reincarnation. She believed that people would stay dead when they died and would never go to the afterlife.

However, she couldn't explain what happened to Dylan in a scientific manner.

"Grandma, I love Kendall. I've given her all my heart. Without her, my heart will be hollowed out, and my world will be dark."

Then, Dylan sincerely apologized to Tilly. "Grandma, I didn't take good care of you and rarely accompanied you. I promise that every weekend from now on, Kendall and I will accompany you for a walk. If you accept Kendall, you won't lose a grandson; instead, you will have another granddaughter-in-law to be respectful to you."

Tilly silently looked at her grandson.

After listening to him, she chuckled. "Since Kendall joined our family, she has never been free. She has little time for you, let alone your mom and I. We never spend time together or understand each other, so why should I accept her?"

After a pause, Tilly continued, "One thing I admit is that Kendall is much stronger than before; at least she's not with Kelly anymore. Kelly is ambitious. She knows that she is not the Parker Family's birth daughter, so she began to dig a pit for Kendall. I can understand Kelly's reluctance. After all, she has been groomed as the successor of the Parker Corporation for twenty years. Moreover, she is about to inherit a big family fortune. However, Kendall suddenly appeared, so Kelly isn't happy. Of course, I won't take her side. Everyone is selfish, and it is only natural that Adam and his wife want to raise their birth daughter to inherit the family business."

Meanwhile, Dylan quickly spoke up for his beloved wife. "Kendall doesn't have to go to work on weekends. She spends most of her weekends with me and I occupy her time, so she has no time for you, Mom, and Dad. It's all my fault. Please don't blame her."

Tilly glared at him when she heard that. "I barely criticized her, yet you can't wait to defend her."

"I told her that since I married her, I will protect her for the rest of her life unless she betrays me. If she doesn't do that, we will stick with each other forever. I also told her that if the world is her enemy, I will defy the world. That day, however, I couldn't hold up my promise, as she was hurt by the world."

Dylan's last sentence was tinged with both guilt and heartache.
