Chapter 322


    Frank shook his head. Kendall might be annoyed at me because I keep pestering her, but I''m sure her


    hatred for me is because of the baby. It''s because I indirectly killed the baby. She imed that I was


    sober when I wanted her. We met at a few public events after she married Jackson, but I never did


    anything to her during then. I didn''t even look for her after she got pregnant and had a daughter. I never


    once suspected that her daughter would be my child. Myck of responsibility toward her had led to the


    baby''s death, so I indirectly killed my own daughter. How dare I paint a portrait of my own baby after


    doing such a thing? How dare I hope the baby will give us another chance to be her parents?


    Frank felt like his heart was being stabbed by a sharp knife. It hurt so bad that his face had turned pale.


    He never knew how horrible it felt to feel this mixture of heartache and regret! "Desmond…" Frank


    mumbled. "You should get some rest. I want to… be alone."


    Desmond looked at him worriedly. "I''m not going to drink anymore," Frank added with a bitter smile. If


    alcohol was the antidote to his sorrows, then sobering up was a magnification of his pain. It didn''t


    matter if what happened was a dream or reality—Frank knew that things would never work out between


    him and Kendall. The only way he could make himself feel better was to treat Kendall better and make


    up for his wrongdoings. However, when he thought about how Kendall had gotten married to Dn and


    became Dn''s legal wife, Frank could still hear his heart shattering into pieces.


    "You should apply some medication on your wounds, Mr. Mendelson." Frank only nced at the


    painting after hearing Desmond''s words. "It''s fine. I want it to hurt." His cuts and bruises were nothing


    inparison to his daughter''s death. Desmond couldn''t do much in response to Frank''s stubbornness


    —he ended up leaving the hall in the end.


    Frank was left alone in therge hall after that. He slumped against the couch and stared at the


    painting of the baby for a long while. Eventually, tears started streaming down his cheeks.


    …


    "My baby." While Frank was tearing up at the child''s painting, Kendall dreamt of her baby crawling


    toward her. Still, the baby was only seven months old, and she didn''t know how to crawl yet. This made


    the baby rather anxious, and she started crying out for help. Kendall wanted to go over and carry the


    baby, but no matter how much she walked, she couldn''t seem to get any closer to the baby. Both


    mother and daughter were anxious to get to the other. At some point, Kendall felt too frustrated, and


    she cried loudly for her child. That was the moment she woke up from her dream.


    She opened her eyes to be greeted by Dn''s dark pupils. At first, she was too stunned to do anything


    but stare at him. Momentster, she turned to look at the window. Even though the curtains were rather


    thick, she could tell it was bright outside. The thick curtains couldn''t block out all of the sunlight from


    entering the room.


    Dn took a few pieces of tissue and gently wiped the cold sweat off Kendall''s forehead as he spoke.


    "The air-conditioning is on, and I had a nket over me, yet you were sweating in your sleep. You must


    have been panicking in your dream." Kendall recalled her dream then. "I dreamt of the baby. She was


    trying to crawl to me but didn''t know how to, and she kept wailing and calling for me. I wanted to carry


    her into my arms, but I couldn''t seem to get to her at all."


    Dn''s eyes gleamed for a moment. Is the baby trying to return to have Kendall be her mommy again?


    We used protectionst night, so the baby didn''t get a chance toe back… Is that what it is? Dn


    didn''t believe in reincarnation; he thought every person only had one lifetime. But Dn, Kendall, and


    Frank''s dreams were all rted and could be pieced together. This came as a surprise to Dn, and it


    was starting to change his worldview and opinions. I guess some things can''t be exined by science


    and logic. Dn was an atheist, and he didn''t believe in past lives. Regardless, Kendall was a firm


    believer in reincarnation and quicklyprehended what her dream meant.

    "Do you think the baby''s trying toe back to me? Does she want to be my daughter again?" she


    asked Dn. He responded by flicking his slender fingers against her forehead. She rubbed her palm


    after he flicked her on the head. "I''ve heard of demon possessions, but I''ve never heard of someone


    being possessed by their dreams. You im that Frank is mentally ill… Do you want to be the same as


    him? What''s this talk about being your daughter again? When have you ever given birth to a baby? Are


    you treating your dreams as reality now?" he said.


    Kendall was speechless for a moment. "Hey, Master Dn. Are women in your family allowed to go to


    work after getting pregnant?" she asked abruptly. He pinched her on the nose before edging closer and


    pecking her on the lips. When he was satisfied with their physical interactions, he sat up to give her an


    answer. "Have you forgotten about the number of arguments I got into just so that you could have the


    freedom and the career you wanted?" Usually, women who became part of the Coleman Family weren''t


    allowed to work. It''d be impossible for a woman to think of going to work while pregnant.


    Kendall stuck her tongue out as she sat up in bed. She leaned over and hugged Dn from the back


    just before he got out of bed. "Thank you for everything that you''ve done, darling," she said while


    resting her face on his back. He didn''t take her arms off his waist immediately—he responded with a


    gentle tone instead. "Once you get pregnant, you''ll have to stay home and rest. I can speak up for you


    regarding other things, but when ites to staying home during your pregnancy… I support my


    family''s decision on this one."


    Dn didn''t mind spoiling and supporting her when it came to other things, and he didn''t need her to


    follow all the family rules. But if she got pregnant, he didn''t want to have her working and straining


    herself as much as she was doing now. I''m rich, anyway. I can financially support Kendall and our


    children even if she doesn’t work for the rest of her life. So, she doesn''t need to go to work when she''s


    pregnant.


    Kendall quickly pulled her hands away from his waist. "You''ve never seen pregnant women who work


    really hard even with their huge tummies in the way have you? Well, the fact is that most pregnant


    women are capable of doing some things. They''re only required to be on bed rest if they''re going


    through someplications," she exined.


    Dn turned to see a grumpy look on the woman''s face. He chuckled and pinched her cheeks. "Well,


    I''d feel bad to see you work so hard. We don''t need the money, anyway. If you really get pregnant, I just


    want you and the baby to be safe. You don''t need to worry about anything else," he said. "There''re tons


    of women who probably wish to stay home and rest during their pregnancy. But, on the other hand, you


    seem to be ming me for telling you to stop work. It''s almost as if I''m torturing you in some way."


    She stared at him speechlessly. "Some pregnantdies get a lot of nausea throughout their pregnancy.


    If your symptoms are bad, and you''re puking all the time, do you still think you''d have the energy to go


    to ss?"


    "…You sound like you know a lot about this, huh," Kendall muttered. Dn simply giggled in response


    to her words. "I''m quite a few years older than Alice, so I was mature enough to know what was going


    on when my mother had her. My mom had terrible nausea back then," Dn exined. Kendall


    thought about his words for a while, and she realized that she didn''t have much to counter him in the


    end. "Well, I guess I''ll have to wait for a while before getting pregnant. There''s still a lot that I''d like to


    do," she said tly.


    Dn pulled her into his arms. "I don’t want to have a child so soon, either. So let''s enjoy our time


    together, and we can think about having a child in a few years'' time." He was turning 30, but she was


    still young. She wouldn''t have turned 30 even after another three years.


    "If your family knows that you''re physically well and see that I''m not getting pregnant, they''d probably


    suspect that I''m infertile. So they''ll force me to divorce you when that happens," Kendall protested.


    "No one is allowed to meddle with my business unless I allow them to!" Dn dered sternly.
