Chapter 23

Julie was at a loss for words, but Alice suddenly continued, "So, does that mean you're willing to marry Dylan?"

Without waiting for Kendall's reply, Tilly glared at Alice and scolded, "Ally, it's not like your brother can't get a wife. Why are you forcing Ms. Parker to do something that she doesn't want? You can't let her shed her blood for nothing."

The words Tilly said were full of sarcasm.

Alice parted her mouth to say something but decided not to say it, and Kendall could guess that Alice wanted to say that Dylan couldn't even do the deed, so nobody would agree to marry him and live as a widow.

"Dylan is a great man. Miss Coleman, you don't have to worry about him not being able to get a wife."

As Kendall said those words, the pair looked at her with a strange gaze.

Blinking, Kendall couldn't help but think whether she had said something wrong.

Meanwhile, outside the main house, Dylan heard what Kendall had said. A glimmer flashed through his eyes as his hands moved to push his wheelchair and enter the house.

The moment Alice heard the sound of a wheelchair entering, she stood up and ran out like a happy bird. Then, Kendall heard her sweet and crisp voice. "Dylan, why are you here?"

"Can't I come over?"

Alice coquettishly replied, "Dylan, that's not what I meant. Don't twist my words."

Now that Dylan's temper has worsened, only Alice dared to talk and act like a spoiled child in front of him.

Afterward, she went to his back and pushed his wheelchair while his bodyguards stopped and didn't follow the two into the main house.

When the people inside saw Dylan, they all smiled but started to behave more cautiously.

Although Kendall had been reborn from her previous life, she didn't have much contact with Dylan back then, so she didn't know how he and the Coleman Family got along.

She couldn't help but feel distressed when she watched the scene unfold before her. Since it was a huge blow for Dylan to become disabled, it was normal for him to be capricious. However, his family was afraid to get close to him and even distanced themselves from him when he needed their comfort and encouragement the most, which would make him feel even worse.

Due to Dylan's restrained personality, nobody could see through his facade.

After he was pushed over to Kendall's side, he patted his wheelchair to tell Alice to stop.

Then, he turned his head to look at Kendall coldly, which she met head-on without fear.

"Your face is swollen like risen dough. It's so ugly. Don't stand here and affect my mood. Scram." Dylan's cold and heartless words were like knives that hurt her feelings.

There was a moment when Kendall felt hurt, but when she remembered Dylan from her past life, she quickly suppressed her feelings. Then, she quietly turned around and left the main house.

As Dylan spoke, no one dared to make a sound. Even Alice had shrunk back as she tried to meld with the background.

Kendall felt relieved as she exited the luxuriously decorated main house. If she was being honest, she felt stressed when facing those unfriendly women, but they were her in-laws.

She was the Whittles' daughter-in-law in her past life and was kept under a tight leash while severely bullied, making her reluctant to get along with her in-laws.

Moreover, those Coleman wives were not to be underestimated.

Looking up at the sky, Kendall told herself that since she had decided to repay Dylan's kindness with the rest of her life, she would have to brave through the difficulties unless it was Dylan who wanted her gone.

Good luck, Kendall Parker! Hold onto Dylan, defeat your enemies in this lifetime, and protect those you want to save!



Inside Starbucks, Kelly was elegantly stirring her coffee with her spoon when someone called her, "Kelly."

It was Jackson, and he had a bouquet of roses with him.

She stopped what she was doing and watched as he approached her.

Once Jackson arrived before her, he gave her a bouquet of flowers which she received and took a sniff of. Jackson's gaze softened as he looked at her gentle behavior.

Then, he pulled out a chair and sat down. After looking carefully at Kelly, he saw that one of her cheeks was red and swollen, so he asked tentatively, "Kelly, what happened to your cheek? It's red and swollen like you've been slapped."

The happiness that Kelly felt from receiving the flowers dissipated instantly, and she put down the bouquet to complain, "It's your soon-to-be fiance."

"Kendall? How could she hit you? I'll help you get back at her next time."

"You need to get back at her with even more impact."

Jackson said dotingly, "Okay, I'll get back at her twice as much. I won't stop until her face is swollen."

After that, he touched Kelly's swollen cheek and murmured, "Why didn't you dodge?"

"If I dodged, my father wouldn't be able to see the mark, and he wouldn't stand on my side."
