Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 96

As soon as Dylan opened the car door, Kendall entered the vehicle and asked, "Why are you here, Dylan? Did you come here to wait for me?" She then closed the door and turned around to give her husband a hug before planting a kiss on the man's cheek.

Finding his wife's intimate gesture irresistible, Dylan was about to give in to his temptation until he was reminded of the presence of his driver and bodyguard. Thus, he pushed Kendall away and gently pinched her red lips, lecturing her with a soft voice. "Have you no shame? You need to act like a decent lady."

"Speaking of decent ladies, I'm sure you have come across plenty, but why didn't you fall in love with any of them? The only answer to that question is that you—are not into decent ladies. Instead, a cheeky girl with little to no sense of shame is more like your type."

On the other hand, Ronnie and the driver exchanged gazes with a smile on their faces, laughing at Kendall's audacious remark deep down. After so many exchanges of flirts, Young Master Dylan still falls for it every time.

"What a shameless scoundrel you are!" Kendall smiled and asked, "Anyway, thanks for the compliment, Dylan. Why did you come and pick me up, by the way?"

"You don't like me to come here and pick you up?"

"No, of course not. When I saw your car outside the building, I sprinted here like I was in a race. So, you could definitely tell how surprised I was. I'm really happy that you came, Dylan." Kendall put down her purse and caught a glimpse of the boutique of flowers beside Dylan. Thus, she asked, "Are you carrying the flowers I gave you earlier with you wherever you go?"

Dylan didn't answer her question right away but instead placed the flowers in her arms. Then, he replied calmly, "The boutique of flowers caught my eye when I passed by the florist shop. So, I had Ronnie buy them for you to return the favor."

Wrapping her arms tightly around the flowers, Kendall smiled brightly from ear to ear as she looked at Dylan more sentimentally. At the same time, the man couldn't take his eyes off the lady's adorable look. "Thank you, Dylan."

"Well, it's no big deal. They're just flowers after all." Dylan added, "But I think the ones at home look much more beautiful." Thanks to Amos' arrangement, his residence now looked like a fancy and grandiose garden. While he didn't seem to appreciate the beauty of it, Kendall felt completely different toward their home full of flowers. In fact, he even remembered seeing her taking pictures of those flowers earlier that morning when she left home. Since the arrangement was to make Kendall happy in the first place, Dylan found peace in his wife's delight that served to help contain his urge of smashing those flower pots outside his house despite his dislike for those flowers.

"But I like them very much. They make me happy. Are you hungry by the way, Dylan?" Kendall put down the flowers and grabbed her bag, producing the box of muffins she was supposed to have earlier that afternoon. She then opened the box and held it in front of Dylan. "Why don't you grab a bite first? I'll make you something nice when we get home."

"I'm not a big fan of pastries," Dylan replied with disgust.

"But it tastes pretty good." Kendall picked up a muffin and held it right before his mouth.

Dylan eventually opened his mouth and took a bite with an emotionless expression on his face. "You just put me in a difficult position. Do you know that?"

Nevertheless, Kendall reckoned the man was merely pretending to hate muffins, thinking he actually had a liking for pastries, which she thought he tried to hide because of his pride just like her mother. Therefore, she went on to feed him with another muffin while the man looked at it with disgust and took another bite. At the same time, she observed his reaction when he was munching, noticing how he peeked at the box to see how many muffins were left in it. You just won't stop acting, will you, cheeky boy? After feeding him with three muffins, Kendall saved the rest for herself and went on to enjoy them as the man watched with envy. Fortunately, Dylan's strong will helped him suppress his urge before it got the better of him, or he would have exposed his 'true colors' in front of Kendall sooner.

"This is so tasty! It's a shame that there are only so few of them. Honestly, it feels almost as if I didn't have any of them at all."

Dylan pursed his lips without saying a word, suspecting that Kendall had seen through him with her shrewdness. "What took you so long?" He tried to change the subject.

"I lost track of time. I was initially planning to leave around 8 PM, but by the time I realized I was staying there longer than I intended to, I left immediately, which was when I saw your car a few moments ago and got here."

"How do you feel?"

"Better than how I did in the morning. At least, I'm starting to pick up something."

Dylan responded with silence for a moment and added with a deep voice, "I don't have a problem with

your job, but I'd hate to see you working overtime until midnight every day. If you're tired, just take a day off and stay home."

Kendall was speechless, but deep down, she knew she had to work harder, thinking she was one step behind her peers for only starting to learn how to manage a business at her current age. After all, Kelly had been exposed to business management at a young age ever since she joined the company upon graduation. Therefore, her experience had helped her rise through the ranks quickly even though she had to start from the bottom. Not long after that, she became the company's vice president while earning everyone's respect in the process. Inspired by her sister's success, Kendall replied with determination, "I'm not tired at all, Dylan."

Upon hearing the lady's words, Dylan tilted his head and quietly looked her in the eye in a serious manner. As both of them exchanged gazes, it didn't take Kendall long to submit to the man's domineering eyes and aura. In that instant, the car was filled with a silence that neither of them cared to break even after they returned to the Coleman Mansion. In the meantime, Vivian and Amos were waiting for their arrival at the mansion's gate. When they saw the couple, Vivian courteously greeted Dylan who had Ronnie wheel him into the house. At the same time, he asked Vivian with a glacial voice. "Did you come here to send me a message from Grandma?"

Noticing Kendall beside Dylan without wheeling him, Vivian politely replied, "Young Master Dylan, Old Madam Coleman wishes to see Young Mistress Kendall, which was why I was told to wait for your arrival here." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Old Madam Coleman wants to see me?" But shouldn't she be in bed at this ungodly hour?

"Yes, Young Mistress Kendall. Please come with me." Vivian reacted politely and extended her arm to show Kendall the way.

Kendall hesitated for a while and peeked at Dylan who didn't seem to show any response. Thus, she replied, "Give me two minutes, Vivian. Let me put my purse and bag inside the house."

"Mr. Miller can take care of that, Young Mistress Kendall, but Old Madam Coleman has been waiting for quite a long time."

Kendall replied with an affirmative hum and handed her belongings over to Amos before leaving with Vivian. When she arrived at the main house, she saw no signs of Tilly until the butler, Tia, said, "Old Madam Coleman is back in her room. Please come with me, Young Mistress Kendall."

After hearing the butler's words, Kendall followed Tia to Tilly's bedroom on the second floor as soon as Vivian left. When the two of them reached Tilly's room door, Tia stopped in her tracks and said in a serious manner, "Young Mistress Kendall, Old Madam Coleman is already asleep, so please wait right here." She then walked away when she finished her words.

"Tia, since Old Madam Coleman is asleep, can I come again tomorrow?" Kendall would hate to wait until dawn just for Tilly to wake up.

Tia paused and looked back at Kendall. "Old Madam Coleman specifically said that you must wait here if she goes to bed before you're back. So, I'd advise you to listen to her instruction." The butler's words implied that Kendall had no choice but to wait even if she had to stay there until the next day.

On the other hand, Kendall could tell that Tilly was mad at her for coming home late, which she believed was the reason she told her butler to make sure she waited there until the next morning. When Vivian turned around and was about to walk away, she left another message for Kendall. "The

gate on the outside has been locked, so you might as well stay here and wait until Old Madam Coleman wakes up."
