Chapter 445
"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.
"Dad," Kendall greeted when he walked in.
"Hey." Adam sat down beside her while gazing at her worriedly. As Kendall found herself sitting between her loving parents, she felt a strong surge of gratitude.
In my past life, I never had a good relationship with my biological parents as I had gotten married before I even got to spend much time with them. I've always thought that my parents valued Kelly more than me since she was the one who grew up with them, Kendall thought. Kelly had only told Kendall the truth on the day of the baby's accident. That was when Kendall found out that her parents were on her side all along—her parents had left the company and all their fortune to her, but Kelly was the one who plotted against them to steal everything, including her parents' lives.
After reincarnating into this life, Kendall didn't have a good relationship with her parents at first. However, with her efforts and the exposure of her relationship with Dylan, her father began to pay more attention to her, and their father-daughter relationship got better after that. When she saw her father
being protective of her right then, she felt so touched that she was about to cry. A father's love is a love like no other! she thought.
"You should just stay home and rest for these few days, Kendall. Or, you can go on a trip. Your mom got Amelia to come over and spend time with you. You guys are close, so perhaps the both of you could go on a vacation just to forget about everything for a bit," Adam uttered as he took out a credit card.
He stuffed the card into Kendall's hand. "I'm giving you this money to go out and enjoy yourself. You can go wherever and eat whatever you want—as long as you're happy. If Master Dylan cannot protect you at times like this, just know that I'm still here for you," Adam continued. "Perhaps it's good that you're out of the Coleman Family. Their standards are way too high for us. I'll talk to Master Dylan once he calms down, and maybe I'll arrange for both of you to get a divorce."
"Darling," Charlotte protested, "Master Dylan didn't do anything wrong."
"Indeed, he didn't do anything wrong, but that's his grandmother we're dealing with. He's not going to ignore her and neglect her health just for the sake of Kendall. If he did that, do you think he could still be happy with Kendall? His grandparents were the ones who took care of him as he grew up, so he's really close to them," Adam reasoned.
