Chapter 248
Kelly quietly heaved a sigh, hoping that it was just a cold or some other illness.
Please don''t let me be pregnant, she thought.
For me to get pregnant now… She wasn''t even sure if she would be keeping the baby.
Tentatively, Kelly asked, ''Should we keep the baby if I really am pregnant?''
Jackson must have hesitated for a moment, as he took a long minute before he finally replied, ''It is the
product of our love. Let''s keep it if you are pregnant. I will definitely take responsibility for both of you.''
Kelly was slightly upset about histe reply. She had already typed out the message telling him that
she wanted to abort it, but after thinking about it, she decided to delete the message.
The elevator door opened and her conversation with Jackson also came to a stop.
After returning to her own office, Kelly called Cameron into the room and told her to get her some cold
medicine.
"Do you have a cold, Vice President Parker?" Cameron asked out of concern. "Do you want to get it
checked at a hospital?"
"There''s no need for that. I will be fine after having some medicine."
"Alright. I will head out to buy you some right now."
Worried about Kelly''s health, Cameron immediately turned around and went out to get the medicine.
Kelly was going to ask Cameron to buy a pregnancy test kit, but she quickly gave up on the idea at the
thought that Cameron wasn''t the best keeper of secrets out there. She would have to go to a pharmacy
far away from thepany to buy a kit and get herself tested after work at noon.
In the president''s office, Charlotte was full of smiles as she watched her daughterp up the soup she
brought. Adam, who was starting to get jealous at the scene, started toin to his wife, "Darling,
you only care about Kendall. You didn''t even bring some for your own husband."
That instantly earned him a re as Charlotte bit back, "You still want another one even though you
and Kelly had some this morning? You might look like you are 6-months pregnant if you drink another
bowl."
Upon hearing that, Adam lowered his head to look at his abdomen.
He did take care of his health and body, but it seemed like he really did have a belly.
Ah! I want to be the most handsome old boy there is. I can''t have a beer belly!
It must be because he had been socializing and eating so muchtely that his tummy expanded.
Seeing the look on his face as he dwelled in sadness made Kendallugh. "You are not chubby, Daddy.
You can burn off excess fat if you do some physical training."
"How am I supposed to believe you when you are saying I am not chubby and that I can burn off fat in
the same sentence?"
Kendall giggled at that.
It just wasn''t in her genes to put on weight.
''Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you…''
As soon as her phone rang, Adam and Charlotte gawked at each other as they seemed to realize
something.

Kendall continued to ignore the couple looking at each other and quickly epted the call. It was a call
from Amelia.
She remembered how she told Amelia she would tell her about her love story with Dn, but she had
been so busy she hadn''t fulfilled her promise.
As soon as she answered the phone, she didn''t even wait for Amelia to speak as she hurriedly tried to
suck up to her. "Amy!" Sheughed. "I was about to call you to ask if you are free at noon to have lunch
together, but you called before I did! No wonder we are besties! Our hearts are one."
"I am free anytime. You are the busy bee who only gets busier each day. You can''t even do as you
promised."
"Ohe one, I really am sorry. I forgot because it has been so hectic. I will make it up to you. Let''s
have lunch together for real, and go on a vacation to the horse farm with me tomorrow. Let me hear
youugh. Don''t be mad, my little chunky monkey Amy."
Kendall''s buttering up to Amelia made thetterugh. "I am not holding you ountable or anything. I
called to ask you out to lunch as well. Alright, then. Now go get busy. I will be out of your hair. See you
at our spot."
"Alright, see you there. But you have to pick me up. I can''t drive now."
Kendall had agreed to it when Dn forbade her from driving.
After finishing the call, Kendall stuck out her tongue yfully when she saw her parents looking at her.
She confessed, "I didn''t do something I promised Amelia I would."
"Amelia will understand," Charlotteforted her.
Even though there were many people in their circle who did not like Amelia, Charlotte was grateful for
her because she was the one who really epted Kendall.
Amelia had never onceined about how Kendall grew up in the countryside.
"Are you noting home on the weekend? You are heading to a horse farm? Which one are you
going to?"
Charlotte had thought that her daughter would be back to their home since it was the weekend.
"Sorry, Mommy. I have ns this weekend. Dn said he will take me to their horse farm to ride a
horse. He''ll even invite his friends." In a way, he was officially bringing her into his world, and letting her
get acquainted with his people.
Charlotte let out a sigh at that. "A married daughter is just like water that has been poured—she doesn''t
belong to her parents anymore. You have given your whole heart to your husband."
"I am sorry, Mommy." Kendall was also aware that she had been neglecting her birth mother these
days. "I will definitely be home with you next weekend. Let''s stay in and enjoy our mother-daughter
time."
Adam chose that moment to chime in, "As her parents, we should be happy about the fact that she has
a good rtionship with Master Dn. Howe you are getting jealous over your son-inw instead?
"Kendall, ignore Mommy. She always wants everyone''s attention on her and her only."
Hearing that, Kendall hurriedlymented, "Daddy, don''t say that about Mommy. She is only worried."
Adam was always trying to tter Dn whenever he could.
The inte chose that moment to ring.
It seemed as though the family of three''s conversations were always interrupted.
Kendall then continued to drink the soup filled with motherly love.
Charlotte, on the other hand, gazed at her husband out of habit. She then saw Adam pick up the phone
and quickly hang it up before he turned to the women, "Honey, Kendall, I will need you to hide for a bit.
President Zorn is heading here."
Curious about who it was that she and her daughter needed to avoid, Charlotte asked, "Which
''President Zorn'' is it?"
"It is the head of Zorn Holdings, Benjamin Zorn from the Zorn Family."
Charlotte was obviously surprised to hear that, and she quickly followed up, "Why is he here? Has the
sun risen from the west? He surely has bad intentions foring here."
Everyone in Orapolis knew that Yasmine fancied Dn.
Now that Kendall had gotten married to Dn, Yasmine would surely see Kendall as her enemy.
And to make things worse, the Zorn brothers who doted on their sister would definitely avenge her.
Even though Charlotte didn''t care much about matters pertaining to the Parker Corporation, she would
sometimes still ask about thepany.
She knew that there were a few projects her husband was invested in that had almost ended up being
snatched away by Zorn Holdings.
If it wasn''t because Dn had officially announced his marriage to Kendall, the Parker Corporation
would have suffered terrible loss if the Zorns had taken those projects away.
That wasn''t the worst case scenario. THe Parker Corporation might even get in trouble with the media
like Thompson Enterprise did, and be brought to ruins by otherpanies in the industry.
In Orapolis, the Colemans, the Zorns and the Mendelsons were the trend setters of the businessworld.
"Doesn''t matter if he has ill or good intentions; I am not scared of him. It is just that it might not end well
if he were to see Kendall having soup here."
There was no way Adam would be afraid of Benjamin when he had Dn as his son-inw.
Adam had always held a grudge against Benjamin for stepping in and stealing his projects. He had lost
so much time and resources because of the Zorns.
