Love Knows No Bounds

"Darling, even if you become as round as ball, I'll still love you just as much."

Kendall stared at Dylan with affectionate eyes and a sweet smile.

She had to butter him up to get him to drink some soup for her.

Dylan paused. Thanks to his wife's adoring gaze, he ended up losing the battle and basking in the sweetness of love as he continued drinking the soup.

I go out on walks every morning, so I'm sure I won't keep putting on weight.

Soon, I'll be able to exercise in the morning too, and if I exercise hard enough, I'll lose even more weight.

Now that Kendall managed to convince her husband to help her finish the soup, she quickly started working on her sister-in-law.

Alice was speechless. I shouldn't have followed Dylan in.

Emily and Fergus were a little dumbstruck too.

"Dylan? Kendall? Are you still at home?"

Tilly's voice rang out.

Kendall's hand trembled. Is she bringing me soup too?

She had a phobia of soup now.

Fortunately, Tilly wasn't here to deliver any soup to her.

Tia and Vivian came in with Tilly.

Vivian was holding a tray filled with a stack of paper. It was hard to tell what was written on them.

"Good morning, Grandma," the younger ones greeted.

Dylan and Kendall set down their spoons and stood up.

Dylan walked over to Tilly and Tia silently stayed back to let Dylan take her place.

Kendall followed suit and mimicked her husband as she held one of Tilly's arms as well.

Tilly, who was as healthy as a horse, chided, "I'm not so old and fragile that I can't even walk by myself. You don't need to help me." However, she was smiling widely.

It was clear that she enjoyed having her grandson and granddaughter-in-law take care of her.

"Good morning, Mom," Fergus and Emily stood up and greeted.

Alice quickly stood up too, even though she hadn't finished swallowing the soup in her mouth.

Tilly saw all their reactions. She was in a good mood, so she walked over to Alice and gently tapped her on the forehead before chuckling, "You were gone so early this morning. I thought you went out somewhere, but now I see that you scampered over here to drink your sister-in-law's soup."

"That's not true, Grandma! Kendall made me drink the soup. She said I'm too skinny. I had no choice but to drink the soup. If I don't, Kendall might think that I'm turning my nose up at her soup, and if that upsets her, the baby will be affected too. What will I do then?"

Tilly was speechless, then she looked at Kendall who was beside her.

Kendal decided to be honest. "Grandma, just the thought of soup makes me queasy now. You guys don't need to bring me soup every day. I eat a ton of nutritious food every day and I'm getting more than enough nourishment. In any case, it's only the first few months. I don't need to be supplementing my diet with anything yet."

Dylan knew just how scared Kendall was of soup now, so he backed her up. "Grandma, our nutritionist has already come up with a menu for Kendall that's suitable for pregnant women and the kitchen staff have been preparing all three meals based on the nutritionist's advice. She doesn't need any more nourishment. Take a look at me, Grandma. You guys keep bringing soup over to her every day, and not only has she developed a phobia of soup, but I've also gained some weight as a result. Mom was saying that I'd become as round as a ball earlier. Thank goodness I'm already married, or else Kendall might have thought that I led an unhealthy lifestyle and wouldn't have married me."

After thinking it over in silence, Tilly said, "Since Kendall doesn't want to have any more soup, I'll tell everyone that they're not to bring soup over to her every day. Just a bowl or two now and then would be enough."

Then, she added, "We're all so happy that you're pregnant, Kendall. That's why we got too excited and tried to think of ways to ensure you're in good health. Everyone meant well, so you don't need to take it to heart. No one's trying to make things difficult for you."

Due to the family's poor attitude in the past, Tilly was afraid that Kendall might take things the wrong way.

"I won't, Grandma. I know that everyone's just trying to take care of me."

Even when they disapproved of her, she didn't hold it against them. Now that they were trying to care for her, she naturally wouldn't take it the wrong way.

Dylan and Kendall helped Tilly over to the couch.

Once Tilly sat down, Vivian brought the tray over. Tilly picked up the stack of paper.

She passed it to Dylan and said warmly, "This is the list of wedding gifts from the family, Dylan. I added a few things to your original list. Take a look and see if you want to add anything else to it. If there's nothing else, then we can bring it over to the Parkers next Tuesday. Tuesday's a good day. I already checked the date."

"I also narrowed down a few dates for the wedding. It's written on the back of the list. They're all good dates, so you can go ahead and pick one. It'd be good if the two of you decide on one before you take the gifts over to the Parkers to discuss in further detail."

Tilly figured that the Parkers wouldn't object to anything.

After all, Dylan and Kendall registered their marriage a long time ago, and now that Kendall was pregnant, they had to have the wedding ceremony soon, or else, she wouldn't be able to fit into the wedding dress Dylan prepared for her if her belly started showing.

The Parkers might be in even more of a hurry than us.

Meanwhile, all Kendall could think of was, Grandma really cares a lot about the baby I'm carrying. She's even getting involved in the preparations for our wedding.
