Chapter 123


    Alice bent down and ced the ragdoll cat in her arms onto the ground. Meanwhile, Tiggy and Jiggy


    were already enjoying themselves while running around the courtyard.


    They had been raised for several years now, so they were quite perceptive and well behaved. They


    rarely even roam around the main living area as they were afraid to cause a mess and be dealt with


    serious consequences.


    Thedies stayed in Pet Pce for quite some time before leaving. Alice was worried that her brother


    would need Kendall''s care after lunch, so she quickly dragged Kendall away before Kendall became


    even more reluctant to leave.


    "Kendall, are you familiar with our house?"


    In response, Kendall shook her head in honesty. "I only know the way to Dn’s ce; I can recognize


    some of the roads around there but only because I use them everyday."


    It was quite fortunate that Dn had not inquired about it recently. Otherwise, she would not be sure


    whether to tell the truth ore up with a lie.


    "Your house is massive; the roads that lead to it run everywhere. I always find myself lost when I’m


    trying to get around, which makes it even harder to find my way back to where I started. I feel like I''m in


    a maze."


    "It is like a maze indeed, but our safety is guaranteed too. Everyone in our extended family lives in this


    compound and every family has their own independent dwelling area, but it''s still connected to the


    mansion. Once my brothers get married and have kids, then we would need to consider expanding it


    again to avoid an overcrowding issue."


    At that point, Kendall was stunned beyond words by the Coleman Family’s wealth.


    The Coleman Mansion was already quite massive and one would have to take several hours to tour the


    entire ce by foot. She was shocked to hear from Alice that an expansion was even necessary. After


    all, every family had their own house within their ownpound, so she was surprised to hear that


    overcrowding could be an issue!


    Kendall was at a loss for words once again. The support I’ve found for the rest of my life is indeed a


    very dependable one!


    "Too bad my brothers don’t intend to get married so soon. Grandma’s been yearning to hold a great-


    grandson for a few years now but to no avail. Dn’s the oldest and yet he''s still single, so the other


    brothers have an excuse to not get married. Each time the elders pester them about getting married,


    they will definitely bring up Dn’s single status as an excuse. Our household is too quiet and it would


    be merrier with children running around."


    Alice was the youngest in her generation, yet she was twenty-three years old before twenty. It had


    been some time since the Coleman Family was inundated with the gleefulughter of children.


    Just then, Kendall thought of Dn’s situation; Old Mrs. Coleman would have to depend on her other


    grandchildren if she wanted a great-grandson in her arms.


    "I heard Dn mentioning before that you''d be rewarded a trillion by giving birth to a son and fifty


    million for a daughter in your family. That''s such a great reward! Aren''t any of you guys tempted to get


    married and have kids?"


    Alice smiled and replied, "All of them have their own careers and none of them needs the reward. They


    would definitely choose freedom over the reward any day. However, there are many women out there


    who would do anything and resort to tactics to marry one of them, but they’ve never managed to


    seed, though."


    Even Yasmine, the beloved daughter of the Zorn Family, was keen to marry into the Coleman Family.


    However, Yasmine had very high standards since she had only been attracted to Dn—the head of


    the family—and the rest of the Coleman males were not to her liking.


    She had also professed that she would only marry the head of the family. After all, the position of the


    head in a prestigious family like the Colemans was definitely a well-revered one, so it was no wonder


    that she was keen to be Dn Coleman''s wife.


    However, with Dn crippled at this point, Yasmine would rather set her sights on Frank than lower her


    standards and choose any of the other males from the Coleman Family. Of course, the main reason for


    that would still have to be Frank''s status as the head of the Mendelson Family.


    Then, Alice tilted her head to look at Kendall with a meaningful look.


    "Why are you looking at me this way?"


    Alice smiled andplimented, "I just find you to be rather pretty. You’re special and one of a kind."


    "I wouldn''t have the cheek to im to be pretty in front of you. Your family members are all


    exceptionally good-looking people. I’m not special at all. Everyone says that I grew up in the


    countryside, so they think that I’m an unrefined and uncouth country bumpkin. I wouldn''t turn into a


    cultured person even if I change the way I dress."


    "Everyone has different opinions and the things that one admires would be different too. There would


    be people who admire your type. Well, I like you very much and the more we spend time with each


    other, the more I enjoy our interaction immensely."


    "It’s my pleasure."


    The two of them entered Dn’s house while engrossed in conversation with each other. Dn was no


    longer at the pavilion, so he had most likely returned to the house to take a rest.


    As soon as they entered the courtyard, they noticed that he was holding a pair of shears while busy


    trimming the branches of a pot of flowers. There were some strewn cut branches all over the ground.


    As for the pot of flowers, it was now looking quite bare.


    Alice instantly stopped in her tracks and whispered to Kendall softly, "Kendall, it''s time for my break. I''ll


    be on my way. I''ll ask you out the next time I’m free."


    Subsequently, Alice turned around and swiftly strode off. Within a minute after she announced her


    departure, she was nowhere to be seen.


    Meanwhile, Kendall was left quite perplexed. She looked on as Alice departed and turned to look at


    Dn, who was moving about in his wheelchair, ready to attack the next pot.


    The pot that he had targeted was one with fully bloomed roses. He was just about to snip the branches


    when Kendall hurriedly interjected, "Dn, don’t trim it!"


    The flowers were blooming quite well. If he trimmed them, then there would be nothing left. I better do


    something before these poor roses get executed!


    As Kendall approached his way, Dn set aside the shears in his hand and stopped his action of


    snipping the flowers.

    "Dn, it''s quite sunny out here. Why don''t you go inside and have a rest? Hand me the shears and I''ll


    trim the flowers for you." As soon as Kendall finished her words, she instantly grabbed the pair of


    shears from his hand. It seemed that she wanted to prevent him from killing another pot of flowers.


    The flowers and nts were well looked after and made the whole ce look livelier than ever. As she


    left the house every morning, she loved leaning forward to sniff the flowers in full bloom. She also took


    several photos of the flowers and posted them on her social media where there would be different


    flowers in bloom each day, which made her photos popr among her bunch of ex-ssmates.


    As a response to Kendall''s interjection, Dn lifted his head to look at her coldly and stared at her for


    at least a minute before speaking up in a low voice, "Ronnie."


    Ronnie, who attempted to make himself discrete at the corner, instantly appeared next to Dn. After


    that, he came forward and assisted Dn into the house.


    As for Kendall, she was quite confused by Dn''s behavior. For a moment there, the look that he shot


    her seemed to give her the impression that she was the one who had triggered his anger, hence, all the


    random trimming and sniping. What did I do wrong?


    Amos also popped out as soon as he realized that Dn was not going toe out anymore. "Young


    Mistress Kendall, Young Master Dn’s upset."


    Kendall was quite confused and she asked softly, "Why is he upset? Which person offended him?"


    As if things were in stop-motion, she noticed that Amos kept his eyes on her.


    She pointed at herself. "Mr. Miller, am I the one who offended him? How did I even do that? Is he upset


    because I finished my meal before him? Or is it because I requested to have a pet cat or dog? If he


    doesn''t like pets, then I’m fine with not having one. In fact, I should be the one upset with him but the


    opposite has happened."


    "Young Mistress Kendall, you were gone for too long." Amos continued, "When you went to Pet Pce


    with Miss Alice, you were there for quite a while. Young Master Dn is upset because of that."


    At this point, Kendall was significantly speechless. "He doesn''t like pets. If he did, I would have brought


    him along by wheelchair too."


    Amos heaved a sigh. "Indeed, Young Master Dn doesn''t like pets, but you do. However, he couldn''t


    quite convince himself to grant you permission to have pets here, so he was upset about that. In the


    end, he vented his frustrations by sniping these flowers here because they were all specially nted for


    you."


    She blinked her eyes in surprise. "nted for me? I asked him about that before, but he denied it."


    He could not help but chuckle. "Young Mistress Kendall, you''ve been interacting with Young Master


    Dn for quite some time now. Haven''t you realized that he is a prideful man? He doesn''t always mean


    what he says."
