Love Knows No Bounds novel (Kendall and Dylan)

"Thank you, Mom." Kendall was grateful for Sally's generosity. She didn't harbor any grudge toward Charlotte because of what she did, nor did she become distant.

"Oh, it's all right, girl. All we want is for you to be happy."

"I love you, Mom."

Sally smiled. "I'm getting goosebumps here. Love you too. No matter what happens, you're always my daughter. So, work is done for the day, huh? You should grab something to eat. Your father and I will be wrapping up some work, and we'll go to town tomorrow. Nelson is healing up well, so we're going together."

"Don't push yourself, Mom. You take care. And of course, Nelson is coming. No trip without him."

"Oh, I need to ask. How's it going between Roger and Emma?" Now that Kendall had found herself a good husband, Sally was starting to worry about her sons' relationships. Nelson was still healing up, so his case could wait. But Roger had someone he liked, and Sally was really nervous about it. She would love it if she could monitor Roger's progress with Emma constantly, but Roger wouldn't tell her anything. In the end, only Kendall could answer her question since Emma was Kendall's friend and secretary.

Kendall looked at Emma, who was driving into Empire Holdings. "Not sure. Roger has to work a bit."

"Yeah, alright. Miss Finley is a great woman. Roger might be the best guy in our eyes, but she might not think so. She probably thinks he's a bumpkin. Probably thinks Toddy is better, but as long as Roger did his best, that's all that matters." Sally would still feel sad if Emma picked Toddy in the end, but she could accept it. "Just tell Roger to do his best. And don't blame Miss Finley for her choice."

"Roger won't do that, Mom." Kendall knew Roger well. As long as Emma was happy, he would be happy for her, even if the groom wasn't him.

"Alright, time to see the crop. Talk later." And Sally hung up.

Emma stopped the car and asked, "Mrs. Wood talked about me, didn't she?"

"Yeah. Wanted to know how far you and Roger have gone."

Emma blushed a little. "Mrs. Wood is a good mother. I think she'll be a great mother-in-law, but I really can't promise Roger anything. I'm still confused about the whole thing."

"Why don't you get some days off and cool your head somewhere, then?" asked Kendall.

"No. I need to face this head-on, or I'll regret it. What about Amelia and Mr. Mendelson?"

"Frank must suffer. The courtship will be his personal hell."

"Oh, he must." Emma smiled.

Frank would be crying for mercy if he were here.

But none would be spared for him.

And thus, Frank's suffering went on.

"Time to pick him up. You wanna meet up with Roger or go home?"

"I'll have a spin around."

Kendall smiled and got out of the car. She then waved Emma goodbye and approached the building. Just in time as well. She saw Dylan coming to the exit escorted by his bodyguards. His employees greeted him on the way, but he didn't even spare them a smile. It felt like he didn't care about anyone.

Yet his façade melted away when he saw Kendall. Everyone noticed a smile slowly cracking his lips as he hurried over to Kendall. And then he said something his employees never thought he would. "Oh, honey, you should've waited in the car. Walking around is tiring."

Oh my, a show of public affection. He thinks she's tired just from a short journey. If we weren't here, he'd probably pick her up right away.

"Well, here to pick you up. Been sitting the whole day, so I thought I should walk."

Dylan went ahead and hugged his wife. "You could have called. I would've come earlier. Say, did you come because you were missing me?" he whispered into her ear and stole a kiss.

Kendall pushed him away. "Hey, everyone's watching."

The employees were going home, but they stopped to take a glance.

"So what? We have a lot of single employees. Maybe this will encourage them to seek a partner out."

Kendall turned around. Aside from Ronnie, she saw the other Coleman boys. Ah. So, he's trying to push the boys into relationships. The Coleman boys were running the other branches of their family business, and they came that day to report their work progress to Dylan. Dylan made them stay for a bit, and now they were leaving together. And then they saw Dylan showing off his love for Kendall.

Mortimer nudged Matthew.

"What is it, Mort?" Matthew looked at Mortimer.

"Hey, Dylan's telling you to find a girlfriend. Yoseph found one, you know."

"Shut it, Mortimer," Matthew shot back. "We're about the same age. So, what if Yoseph found himself a girlfriend? Steve is still single. If anyone is next, he is."

Steve said, "I'm focusing on my career. Relationships are out of the question, and I don't have anyone I like. Marriage is not on my list of stuff to do."

"Please. Like we have any girlfriends," Robert said. "I'm twenty-five. Still young, and I'm about the youngest guy around. Still far away from my marriage," Robert said sardonically.

Dylan and Kendall were flirting around. Since Kendall got pregnant, Dylan delegated the company's work to his brothers so he would have time for Kendall. And he could also push his siblings and cousins into marriage. Robert was glad he was running the racecourse. He didn't have to report as frequently, so he didn't have to see Dylan that much. They didn't care if their parents were nagging them to find a girlfriend, but if Dylan did it, that was a different story.

"Hey, maybe Dylan was talking about you. You're the youngest."

"I am not the youngest," said Robert. "Alice is."

"You want to marry her off? At her age? Boy, wait till Grandma hears about this. She'll kill you. Alice can stay single till her late twenties at least. She can pick and choose however she wants," bickered Steve.

Robert quickly defended himself. "All I said was I am not the youngest. Said nothing about marrying Alice off. She's the only girl of our generation. Of course, I want her to stay around for a bit longer."
