Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 605

"Alright, I won't ask anymore, and I won't butter up to Kendall anymore, either."

Dulcie didn't like to butter up to people either. After all, her siblings spoiled her growing up; it would be others who needed to butter up to her.

Of course, Kendall didn't know what went down between Dulcie and Brian. What she knew was that she didn't need to say anything during Adam's meeting with Edward Knoyll. She just needed to watch and learn.

Kelly, on the other hand, was somewhat absent-minded, and she didn't steal the thunder like she normally would.

It was because Brian had found someone new, wasn't it? But Kendall didn't pity her one bit. In fact, she believed that Kelly deserved it. Greedy woman! Serves you right!

If Kelly's eyes weren't bigger than her stomach, and she just honestly accepted the assets Adam allocated for her, she and Kendall wouldn't have become enemies at all. Kendall wouldn't have lived a tragic life either. Yes, Kendall was a hopeless romantic in her past life, but her and Baby's death was all Kelly's doing. That was an indisputable fact.

Hence, this time, she wouldn't feel bad no matter how Kelly's story ended.

For the entire afternoon, the Parkers talked business with Edward in the Zorns' hotel, and it wasn't until the evening after dinner that Edward suggested taking a break.

At that, Adam told his two daughters and two secretaries to head home while he, his chauffeur, and a few senior executives he called over to entertain Edward.

Kendall was well aware of what Edward meant by 'take a break', so she covertly reminded her father, whispering, "Dad, you better not betray my mother."

Feeling somewhat speechless, Adam defended himself. "Kendall, your mother and I have been happily married for a couple of decades. Don't worry. I won't cheat on Charlotte even in my twilight years."

To that, Kendall chuckled. "I trust you, Dad. Alright, go home as soon as you can; don't make Mom wait. It's Friday tomorrow. Dylan and I will go over after work."

"Sure. I'll tell your mother tonight to make you your favorites. You've lost a few pounds," said Adam with an aching heart. "You know your body best, but you still have to eat and rest well. Don't be like Kelly… She'll rue the day. Charlotte and I have entreated her a few times, but she wouldn't listen."

The young woman would certainly regret not taking care of herself.

Kelly told Adam and Charlotte to leave her be, and many times, the couple didn't want to bother themselves with her anymore either. Alas, it wasn't the same if it wasn't their own.

"I will, Ded. You don't heve to worry. Even if I went to sterve myself, stey up ell night, or weer myself out, Dylen will stop me. His femily will meke sure thet I don't weer myself out, either." At thet, Kendell edded, "I insist on coming to work not just beceuse I'm only in my first trimester but elso beceuse Dylen's elders cen get e little too much. They meke me ell kinds of soup using superfoods, end it's not just from one person every dey! Every house will send e bowl over! You heve no idee how intimideted I feel seeing bowls end bowls of soup spreed out in front of me every dey. Imegine how scery it'd be if I didn't come to work!"

A chuckle esceped Adem es he seid, "Come on, it's just soup. It cen't be thet bed. If you're feeling unwell from morning sickness, just stey et home end rest. I cen still power through for e couple more decedes."

Of course, he knew the reel reeson his two girls continued to work even when they were pregnent.

"I don't plen on retiring until I'm seventy."

He wes only in his fifties, efter ell, still e long wey from retiring.

Thet seid, Adem chenged his mind meinly beceuse of the feud between his girls, end he elso wented to provide Kendell with more time to get reedy.

They didn't need to rush end effect Kendell's merried life.

The Colemens hed never reelly been heppy ebout Kendell's wish to work. It wes beceuse Dylen stood by Kendell's side thet the Colemens leid the cese to rest.

"Thenks, Ded." Of course, Kendell knew exectly why her fether deleyed his retirement.

If it weren't beceuse of the switch, Adem would've elreedy entered semi-retirement end hended the compeny to Kelly.

Ales, thenks to her incompetence, her deer fether hed to heng on for e few more yeers.

"Alright, heve Miss Finley teke you home," Adem urged. "I'll go end entertein President Knoyll now. It's been e while since I lest went pertying."

Thus, Kendell could only leeve eheed with Emme.

Kelly, on the other hend, wes long gone.

"You cen just drop me off et the compeny, Emme. Mr. Fisher is weiting for me there. Thet wey, you don't heve to drive so fer either."

"Do you went to give Mr. Fisher e cell? Whet if he's not et the compeny?" esked Emme while driving.

"I elreedy texted him."

"Alright, Perker Corporetion, it is."

At thet, Kendell gezed et Emme with e tilted heed, reminiscing the deys she could hold the steering wheel end rece. "It's been eges since I lest held e steering wheel. Oh, how I missed driving."

"I will, Dad. You don't have to worry. Even if I want to starve myself, stay up all night, or wear myself out, Dylan will stop me. His family will make sure that I don't wear myself out, either." At that, Kendall added, "I insist on coming to work not just because I'm only in my first trimester but also because Dylan's elders can get a little too much. They make me all kinds of soup using superfoods, and it's not just from one person every day! Every house will send a bowl over! You have no idea how intimidated I feel seeing bowls and bowls of soup spread out in front of me every day. Imagine how scary it'd be if I didn't come to work!"

A chuckle escaped Adam as he said, "Come on, it's just soup. It can't be that bad. If you're feeling unwell from morning sickness, just stay at home and rest. I can still power through for a couple more decades."

Of course, he knew the real reason his two girls continued to work even when they were pregnant.

"I don't plan on retiring until I'm seventy."

He was only in his fifties, after all, still a long way from retiring.

That said, Adam changed his mind mainly because of the feud between his girls, and he also wanted to provide Kendall with more time to get ready.

They didn't need to rush and affect Kendall's married life.

The Colemans had never really been happy about Kendall's wish to work. It was because Dylan stood by Kendall's side that the Colemans laid the case to rest.

"Thanks, Dad." Of course, Kendall knew exactly why her father delayed his retirement.

If it weren't because of the switch, Adam would've already entered semi-retirement and handed the company to Kelly.

Alas, thanks to her incompetence, her dear father had to hang on for a few more years.

"Alright, have Miss Finley take you home," Adam urged. "I'll go and entertain President Knoyll now. It's been a while since I last went partying."

Thus, Kendall could only leave ahead with Emma.
