Chapter 684

"Oh, no! My teacher's coming, Miss Parker. I have to go now. See you in a few days!" Scott hurriedly ended the call.
Kendall was speechless. "This boy's getting cheekier by the day."
"Kids are all cheeky these days. It means they're smart, you know."
Amelia chuckled. "It's been so long since I last saw Scott."
"You'll see him in a few days. He's grown taller now. He gets his parents to bring him over every weekend. Each time Dylan sees Scott, he acts as if he's itching to toss Scott out, but when it's time for Scott to leave, Dylan would stuff the Fords' plane full of things for Scott to take home with him."
Dylan acts all tough and uninviting, but he's a softie on the inside. I know he likes children.
It's a pity that he doesn't want a second child. I suppose it's because he doesn't want me to go through the whole process of childbirth again.
Once the baby is four, I'll think about having a second child, Kendall decided. If she did want a second child, she would try for one. If she did get pregnant, Dylan would not make her get an abortion.
"Frank's here."
Kendall spotted a familiar car coming nearer and recognized it as Frank's car.
"I agreed to have lunch with him today," Amelia readily admitted.
Dylan saw Frank as well. He immediately got out of the car and walked over to Kendall.
"Honey." Dylan stood beside Kendall. It was obvious what he was doing.
Frank parked the car and walked over. He chuckled at the sight of Dylan glaring at him. "I won't ever try to take Kendall away from you again, Dylan. I'm here for Amelia. We're having lunch together."
"I came to take my wife home for lunch as well," Dylan quipped coolly. He refused to admit he was being defensive against Frank.
"We won't keep you then. Let's go, Amy. Where are your things? I'll carry them for you."
"They're in my car. Kendall had the bodyguards take the things back to my car for me."
Amelia said her goodbyes to Kendall and Dylan before leaving with Frank.
Though Amelia and Frank weren't holding hands as they walked off together, they did look good together from behind.
Dylan took Kendall's hand and said gently, "Let's go home, honey."
Kendall watched as her friend walked away and commented softly, "Amy will be happy."
She did not know what happened to Amelia in her previous life.
After marrying Jackson, she was restricted from leaving Whittle Residence and had to cut off her friendship with Amelia.
In this life, all my friends and family will have a good life!
While leading Kendall away, Dylan said, "She'll be happy as long as she chooses Frank and Frank is sincere toward her. But, honey, let's not talk about others right now."
Kendall leaned against Dylan's shoulder and chuckled. "You still get jealous over the smallest things."
"I like being jealous. It feels good!"
Kendall giggled.
Time flew by when one was happy.
Each day seemed to whizz past in the blink of an eye.
Kendall kept feeling as if it would be quite some time before her wedding, but as the sun continued to rise and set, her wedding day was suddenly upon her.
Even the weather was cooperative as the sun rose on a bright and clear day.
Winters were mild in Orapolis, and now that the sun had risen, the temperature hovered between the low seventies. For a northerner, this was almost summer, and for those who lived in Orapolis, it was the perfect weather.
The wedding of the one and only Dylan Coleman was bound to be a grand affair.
The wedding procession left Coleman Residence early in the morning and headed straight for Parker Residence. Those who spotted the majestic train of cars were filled with both awe and envy.
Meanwhile, at Parker Residence, Kendall was woken up at dawn. As she was pregnant, she forewent an elaborate hair and makeup session, but she still had to put on her gown and pair it with some accessories, so it ended up taking some time as well.
Charlotte and Sally were all smiles as they admired their daughter in her wedding gown, but their tears started streaming as well.
Their beloved daughter, the one they loved and cherished with all their hearts, was finally going to be ceremoniously married off today.
"What's the matter, Moms?"
Kendall was startled when she turned around and saw both her mothers crying.
The women quickly wiped their eyes and assured her, "We're fine! We're just so happy to see how happy you are. We couldn't be any happier."
Kendall realized what was happening.
Her mothers couldn't bear to part with her.
She walked over and gave them both a hug.
"Moms, Dylan and I will visit the both of you very often."
The Woodses did eventually accept the house that Dylan gave them. It was right by Parker Residence which made it convenient for Kendall to visit both her families.
However, only Milo and Sally moved into the house. Nelson and Roger chose to remain at the old house as their life's work was there.
"Your belly will only continue to keep bigger after the wedding. It won't be easy for you to move around, so don't keep coming back to visit us. If you miss us, just call us and tell us. We'll come to you." Charlotte eyed Kendall with a look of gladness and reluctance.
Naturally, she was reminded of Kelly, the daughter she raised.
Kelly had not been sentenced yet and no one apart from the lawyer could see her.
Charlotte didn't know how Kelly was doing right now.
Kelly brought it all upon herself.
Charlotte's love for Kelly had waned when she found out that Kelly had tried to kill them off in a car accident. Her heart had grown cold.
"You're the one who said it, Mom, so if I ask you to come over and accompany me, you can't refuse."
Kendall took Charlotte and Sally's hands and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Moms. Dylan and I will be happy together."
Both her mothers nodded, and Charlotte said, "We'll go down and greet the guests. Eat something before Dylan arrives. Don't starve my little granddaughter."
Both Charlotte and Sally knew that the Colemans hoped for Kendall to give birth to a daughter, so the two women were used to referring to the baby as their granddaughter too.
"Now that you mentioned it, Mom, I do feel a little hungry."
Sally quickly brought over a plate of pastries. "Have some."
"Thanks, Mom."
"Silly girl. You don't need to be so courteous with me."
Sally continued to gaze at Kendall wistfully. She had raised Kendall herself, and as the memories of Kendall's childhood flitted across her mind, she couldn't help but feel sad to see her daughter married off, even though Dylan was a good man.
"The groom has arrived!"
Someone called out outside.
Emma and Amelia quickly closed the door as they waited for Dylan and his groomsmen to come and bargain entry.
"Take off your shoes, Kendall. We're hiding them and we won't let Dylan take you unless he finds them."
The party of groomsmen consisted of all the finest and most powerful men in Orapolis.
In stark contrast, there were only two bridesmaids-Emma and Amelia. Neither one of them could think of any tricks to make things difficult for Dylan, so they mimicked what they had seen before and decided to hide the bride's shoes and have Dylan find them.
"Keep your eyes closed, Kendall. You're not allowed to see where we hide them lest you give Dylan hints."
Kendall chuckled and closed her eyes. "I'll let him find it himself without giving him any hints."
Amelia took Kendall's shoes, but she didn't know where to hide them, so she cast a pleading look at Emma.
Emma laughed and said, "You have to hide them. He's my boss and I'm afraid I might let it slip if he gets too imposing."
