Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 472

Adam was stubborn, but he wouldn't let Dylan suffer anymore. "We'll talk inside." He turned around and headed back to the house.

Charlotte quickly said, "Take him inside, Ronnie."

Dylan might not have received a response from the Parkers for his apology, but he knew they had relented since they were now allowing him inside.

"Take me inside, Ronnie," he ordered.

Ronnie pushed him inside quietly, following Charlotte.

Once inside, she poured Dylan a glass of warm water and served him a hot meal herself.

Adam cleared his throat a couple of times to warn her, but she ignored him. He's not the one at fault. Taking it out on him will only make Kendall feel worse.

Dylan finished the water. Charlotte gave him a look of encouragement, and he started eating as well.

"Ronnie, get everyone else in and have some water. I'll send someone to get a few watermelons. You can have them after you eat. Watermelon's good in this kind of weather."

"We're fine with water and a meal, Mrs. Parker. We don't need the watermelons," Ronnie declined.

However, she asked her servant to get some anyway. She also told the chef to make something soothing for Dylan. Standing under the sun for a long time might cause problems.

Adam was looking at Dylan darkly. I didn't even have an appetite, but this brat seems to have no problem eating his fill.

Dylan felt alive after that meal, though his legs still hurt. They felt like lead, and they were still trembling. Good thing Kendall's not here. She doesn't need to know about this.

"You had your fill. Now take your men and leave, Master Dylan. Stop blocking the entrance." Adam was chasing him away. Charlotte wanted to say something, but Adam shot her a look, so she kept her lips tight and looked away.

"Father." Dylan stood up. His legs were still hurting, and he wobbled when he stood. Fortunately, Ronnie held him before he fell.

"Don't push yourself too hard. Your legs are still recovering," Charlotte remarked.

With Ronnie's help, he approached Adam. Then, he kneeled.

"Young Master Dylan!" Ronnie shouted quietly.

"Master Dylan!" Charlotte was shocked as well.

Adam said nothing but stood up and tried to hold Dylan up.

"I'm sorry, really," Dylan apologized sincerely once more. "This is my fault. I failed to protect her. She had to face those insults because of me. And my grandmother kicked her out of the house. This is all my fault."

"Nonsense. All this time, you've treated Kendall well. She left of her own volition," Charlotte responded. "Don't blame yourself anymore."

"She just didn't want to make it difficult for me." Agony showed in his eyes. "I told her I'd face anything for her. I promised I'd love and protect her forever, but I broke my word. I failed her. I came here to apologize and beg for forgiveness. I've talked it out with my grandmother, and I swear on my life that I won't let anything like this happen again. Please, give me another chance. Let me take her home."

Adam used to think Dylan was unapproachable as he was a proud and mighty person. And he was not someone that anyone—including Adam—could meet up with, no matter how much effort they put into it. Yet, that same man was now kneeling before Adam for Kendall. He gave up his pride for her. At this point, Adam couldn't stay mad anymore.

Dylan had tried his best, after all. Kendall only left so he wouldn't have to be stuck between her and his family.

"Get up." Adam pulled him up. "She's not here, and you know that. If you want to take her home, this is not where you should come." He accepted Dylan's apology.

Dylan let Adam pull him up.

Ronnie quickly held Dylan and helped him back into the wheelchair.

"I know, but I have to ask for your forgiveness first, or else, there's going to be a wedge between Kendall and me even if I take her home." This was why he wanted the Parkers' forgiveness. He would even kneel for it.

Adam stayed silent for a while. "I don't want the same thing to happen again. If it does, I will never let you take her home, no matter how long you kneel."

Dylan quickly promised, "Don't worry, Father. There won't be a next time."

He and Tilly had talked about this. He believed she wouldn't do anything to Kendall unless she wanted to kill him. Kendall was the love of his life. Without her, there was no meaning to his life anymore.

A servant hurried in. "Sir, madam, Old Madam Coleman is here."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing that. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Adam looked at Dylan and mocked, "I think your grandmother found out what you did. She's here to stir up a storm again."

Tilly thought lowly of them, and he knew that clearly after that fateful day. It was also why he was livid. When Dylan was a cripple, the Colemans came to ask explicitly for Kendall's hand in marriage. However, the old bat kept insulting her after she was married off. Does she think my daughter is something she can use once and toss away?

Dylan wanted to defend his grandmother, but not when he didn't know why she was here.

"I should take a look." Charlotte had to welcome Tilly since Tilly was the elder of the Colemans. No matter the reason she was here, she was a celebrated woman. Refusing entry would be rude.

Adam remained seated. If Tilly were here to stir up a storm, he would never allow Kendall to return to

the Colemans, no matter what.

Tilly's motorcade didn't go into the villa. They were all parked outside, taking up one section of the street. Dylan was nowhere to be found, and the door was open. Yet, Tilly didn't feel relieved. In fact, she felt even more worried. The fact the Parkers made him stand the whole morning meant they were livid. The only reason they let him in must have been because he fell.

It made her heart ache. Even though she felt she was wrong at first, in her heart of hearts, she still thought she was right. That changed now, however. If she hadn't been stupid and obstinate enough to ruin her grandson's relationship, he would never have had to suffer like this.
