Love Knows No Bounds

---

"What?! Why aren't you getting a baby?" Emily panicked.

She had three sons and a daughter. Dylan was the eldest, and she wanted him to give her a grandchild. Yoseph and Jane were still playing around, while Matthew was still proudly single. Thus, her only hope of getting a grandchild rested upon Dylan and Kendall.

"Not for now. I'm planning on holding a wedding after I'm all healed and when she isn't as busy anymore. After that, we'll have our honeymoon, and only then will we start thinking about having a baby. Mom, you know she's not in a position to have a child right now. Pregnancy takes ten months, and she can't work too hard during that period. She just started work at Parker Corporation. If she gets pregnant now, her effort would have been for nothing."

Emily stayed silent. She was clear about the situation as well. "Adam can still go on for a decade or two. She can learn the ropes after she gives birth to the baby, but Kelly's still a problem. If Kendall can't grow fast enough, her father will be put in a predicament."

"Actually, no. The Parkers are disappointed in Kelly. They still keep her around for a lot of reasons."

They didn't want Kelly to leave at first. Everyone would call them cruel if they chased her off one year after their real daughter returned. Plus, Kelly had been working for the company for years. Chasing her away might cost them a part of the management. They had to wait until Kendall showed some results and became everyone's leader before they could kick Kelly out.

"Guess I'll have to wait for God knows how long for my first grandchild." Emily sighed. "I'm not gonna meddle anymore. Just live life happily. I'll nag Yoseph instead. I can't believe he's still not making any progress, and it's been so long." Jane's still not his official girlfriend yet even though they've been living under the same roof for a while now.

Dylan smiled. "And Matthew too. He's at that age as well."

If Matthew were here, he would complain as loud as possible. He loved his life of freedom and wouldn't trade it for anything, not least marriage.

The mother and son kept chatting, and when they returned to Dylan's place, both of them were greeted by a mew. And then, an adorable Ragdoll appeared out of nowhere. It approached Dylan and meowed at him.

Emily was shocked. Her son despised furry animals. No family member would take their pets near his abode, or he might kill them.

After the accident, Dylan wasn't in the best of moods for a time. Any little sound would be enough to trigger him. He'd hurl anything he could get at anyone he could see. Lots of servants resigned because of his violent tendencies, and nobody would get near him.

Tilly wanted to take Kendall's hand in marriage because she wanted to hire a free servant for Dylan. Kendall grew up in a village and was the real daughter of the Parkers. She fit the bill. At least, that was what Emily knew. What she didn't know was that the marriage only happened because of a fortune-telling session that Tilly had gone to. "Ronnie, take the cat away!" Emily spoke before her son could.

Ronnie wouldn't do it. That's Young Mistress Kendall's cat, and this isn't the first time it escaped. What's Pet Palace doing?

"Mom, this is Kendall's cat." Dylan bent down and picked the cat up. The feline creature lay on his lap quietly as if it knew him.

Emily was stupefied. She knew Kendall had a few pets. All of them were gifts from Dylan, but that didn't change his distaste for furry pets. The couple even argued over these pets once, but they relented in the end. And now he's holding the cat? He loves her, huh?

"It's probably missing Kendall. It's been a few days since it saw her." He patted the cat's head and stared at it with gentle eyes. It's my honey's cat, after all.

Emily only watched on in silence.

"Go home, Mom. I should be going to work now."

She had said all she wanted, and her son had to work. There was no point in staying.

Once she was gone, Dylan told Amos, "Take the cat inside and call Pet Palace. Tell them to send the cat bed and cat food over."

"You wish to keep it around, sir?" Amos asked.

"Yeah. It's a smart cat. It knows where to search for its master. We can keep it around until Kendall's back. But make sure to clean up after it every day. It sheds a lot."
