Chapter 411
"Kendall Parker, mind your manners. You''re wrong if you ever think you can be impudent in front of me
just because you''re Dn''s favorite!"
Kendall answered in all innocence, "I am behaving, Grandma."
"Don''t call me ''Grandma''. You have no right to do so! I''ve never acknowledged you as my grandson''s
wife!"
It was after a moment of silence that Kendall began, "Grandma, are you trying to pressure me into
divorcing Dn? Is it because I''m no longer helpful to Dn in his recovering state, so I don''t deserve
him and have to divorce him? "
Tilly choked on her words because she indeed was hoping the two would divorce.
Kendall was right about that. As Dn would be recovering soon, Tilly thought that he didn''t have to
endure Kendall anymore and could find a better woman to be his wife.
As a matter of fact, there were a lot of women dreaming of bing Dn''s wife.
However, afraid that Dn would make a fuss over it, Tilly could never be frank about her opinion.
It was a rare opportunity to see him soften up and back down with his well-known domineering
personality.
"Grandma, you might be quiet about it, but I know what you are thinking, though. As long as Dn
sees me as his wife, I don''t mind whether you''ll acknowledge me as your granddaughter-inw or not.
After all, I''m married to him, not you. It''s an ideal situation if you like me, and I''ll be d to fulfill my
duties with him. However, it''s not a big deal to me if you don''t like me, and I also won''t stop him from
being your filial grandson."
Tilly stared at the young woman with a cold look. "I''m expecting fifteen granddaughters-inw with my
fifteen grandsons. Why would I care about your filial piety? What a shameless woman. Do you think
you''re popr and lovable? I had enough of your nonsense! I don''t want to see you anymore, so get
lost."
Kendall''s words were making Tilly uneasy. Even if Tilly wanted to take her anger out on the younger
woman, she had no right to do so.
Kendall had a clear stance on the issue. She only cared about how Dn would think of her the whole
time. As for others'' opinions, she couldn''t care less.
She then rose to her feet. "Well, Grandma, you have a kind and lovely look, just like a saint. I wish you
a good night."
As she finished her words, she turned on her heel and left immediately.
At first, Tilly was taken aback by thepliment.
After a while, she finally processed the deeper meaning of Kendall''s words. Raging, she was hoping to
throw something at the younger woman to unleash her anger but found nothing suitable around her.
Meanwhile, Kendall quickened her steps as she left for the entrance and blended in with the night.
"Where are your manners? How dare you mock me!"
If Kendall had ever paid attention to themotion behind her, she would defend herself on the spot, I
didn''t say that. You said so yourself.
Once she left the main house, she raised her head to look into the dark sky. Everything will be fine.

"Young Mistress Kendall."
Kendall didn''t make it far before noticing Amos walking toward her.
"Amos, why are you here?"
"Young Master Dn asked me to pick you up."
She smiled at his kind gesture. "He worries a lot. Old Madam Coleman was only asking for me here to
learn about Nell''s injury and tell me she would provide help if needed."
Amos shot Kendall a meaningful look and didn''t expose her for defending Tilly. On the surface, Mrs.
Coleman is the only person who doesn''t see eye to eye with Young Mistress Kendall. Little does she
know that she is only a pawn of Old Madam Coleman to get rid of Young Mistress Kendall, because
Old Madam Coleman has never taken a liking to Young Mistress Kendall from the beginning.
In fact, Kendall was never Tilly''s first choice of a wife for Dn. The Coleman Family eventually
suggested an alliance marriage with the Parker Family only because none of the young daughters from
the other families were willing to marry Dn, who was injured in the ident and rumored to be
unable to function as a man at that time. Back then, everyone thought he would only be able to have a
marriage that existed only in the name.
"Young Mistress Kendall, I''m sorry." He made a sincere apology to Kendall out of nowhere.
She was taken aback by him as she asked in confusion, "Amos, what is that apology for? I don''t
remember you doing me wrong."
In her opinion, not only was Amos a kind man, he was also a loyal butler for Dn. She couldn''t
understand what was making him apologize to her.
Amos then exined in guilt, "This afternoon, I saw Young Master Dn going after you as you rushed
out of the house. I misunderstood the situation and thought you two were fighting, which ended up in
you leaving Young Master Dn. I couldn''t suppress my worries, and the news reached Old Madam
Coleman. I should''ve fulfilled my responsibility as Young Master Dn''s butler in the first ce. I must
have his permission before allowing anything to get to the others, including Old Madam Coleman.
However, I made a mistake in my job, which is why I should take the responsibility for her scolding
you."
Kendall took a moment to collect herself before she spoke, "Amos, you don''t have to me yourself.
Grandma wasn''t scolding me at all! She''s merely teaching me how to be a better wife for Master
Dn. Let''s go, Amos. Dn is still waiting for me to join him for supper."
Amos responded respectfully, "Alright."
Once Kendall was back at her home, the familiaryout finally soothed her frayed nerves.
Even if she wasn''t afraid of getting scolded by Tilly, she tensed up every time she was meeting the
older woman. She was afraid that Tilly, who was hoping for her to divorce Dn, would manage to set
her up one day and drive a wedge between Dn and her.
Kendall could tell Tilly was holding mixed feelings toward her. On top of all, Tilly indeed despised
Kendall. Sometimes, Kendall could also see the elderly woman struggling to ept Kendall as one of
the Colemans.
The Coleman Family was aware of how important Kendall was to Dn.
After all, the fact that Tilly was Dn''s biological grandmother would never change. Besides, he was
raised by his grandparents since his youth. There was no doubt Dn and his grandmother had a
close rtionship.
Kendall wouldn''t want to talk badly about the older woman in front of Dn and divide the two due to a
mere scolding.
"Dn, I''m back." She walked into the house with light steps, which someone would mistake as a
signal that she was in a good mood.
Dn watched her in silence as she came over and sat down next to him. She can''t possibly be in a
bright mood as Nelson has barely escaped the jaws of death.
"What did Grandma want from you? She''s still up at this hour?" Dn served Kendall some stew as he
asked in a casual tone.
"Yeah, she''s not resting yet. She thought we fought this afternoon, so she was asking me about it.
Besides, she taught me the ways to love you back," Kendall answered in feigned rxedness before
she chuckled. "I heard that your grandfather used to spoil Grandma with a lot of care, too. I wonder if a
Coleman spoiling his wife is written in the family gene."
He spooned her some food as hemented, "Grandpa and Grandma are married because the two
fell for each other. It wasn''t an alliance marriage. By the way, what did Grandma teach you?"
She smiled. "I''ll tell youter. Let''s have dinner first. I haven''t eaten since this afternoon."
Once she finished her words, she repaid his gesture by spooning some food for Dn too.
Understanding that she wasn''t feeling like telling the truth, Dn let it slip. "Darling, I didn''t have the
chance to make something for you today, but I promise you''ll get them next week."
After dinner, the duo took a stroll in the courtyard to help with digestion. Dn was leaning on her as he
practiced walking.
Kendall apologized, "I''ve already owed you many presents."
Even though she promised to spoil him with gifts, she broke the promise.
Moreover, he didn''t like the ready-made presents she bought from the stores. He preferred the ones
she made by herself.
"You have your whole life to prepare the presents for me, so there''s no need to rush. Don''t worry, Nell
will be fine." Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Kendall agreed with a soft voice, "He will." Nell''s a good man and God will bless good people. Nell will
be all right and wake up soon.
Stopping in his tracks, Dn held her in his arms. Kendallplied and leaned on his chest without a
word as she felt his warmth seeping through her.
She was grateful to live a worthwhile life with Dn as the perfect husband.
