Chapter 446
Adam let out a sigh. "I don''t wish to see my daughter getting a divorce, but I don''t want to see her
suffering at her inws'' house even more so," he uttered. "The fewdies in the Coleman Family don''t
like Kendall, and I can tell that Mrs. Coleman and Old Madam Coleman would''veshed out at Kendall
if it weren''t for Mr. Coleman''s presence. It''s always hard to live with such demanding inws, and it''s
probably even harder when they don''t like you."
Charlotte was speechless for a moment. Her husband was right. "Dad, I''m not going to get a divorce
with Dn. I''m tied to him through life and death, and we''ve agreed that we''ll never be apart from one
another." Kendall expressed her feelings toward the situation. "Right now, it''s a test from the heavens
above to my rtionship with Dn. We aren''t going to separate from one another just because of
some minor struggles." I''d rather die than get a divorce, and I believe Dn feels the same way too. On
second thought, he''d probably feel worse than I do. He''s a really loyal man, after all, Kendall thought.
"Kendall—" Charlotte patted her husband''s thigh to stop him from continuing. It was an inappropriate
time for such a conversation. Both Dn and Kendall were still deeply in love with each other. "Let''s
talk about this another time. You should go on a vacation to forget about this for a while." Adam gave
up on convincing his daughter to get a divorce, so he changed the topic and told her to go on a
vacation instead. However, Kendall rejected his idea anyway. She would be away for a while if she
went on a trip, and she couldn''t imagine how that would impact Dn. He''d probably lose his mind.
Furthermore, it wasn''t right for her to put a pause on her work just because of some rtionship issues.
If she did that, all her hard work would be ruined by Kelly.

Meanwhile, at the Coleman Residence, Tillyy down after being lectured by her old friend. She
couldn''t endure staying in bed any longer, so she got up. "Where are you going, Grandma?" Alice
happened to walk in, so she hurried over to help Tilly up when she saw Tilly getting out of bed. "Did you
see your brother, Alice? How is he?"
Tilly had sessfully chased Kendall out, but she couldn''t stop thinking about the hurt and helpless
look on Dn''s face after that. The scene of his sorrows reyed in her mind, and it felt like a heavy
weight was pressing against her chest and making it hard for her to breathe. Her old friend said that
she was being ridiculous, but she truly believed that she was doing this for her grandson''s own good.
That sly woman, Kendall, is just too attractive. She''ll cheat on Dn someday. He might be in a lot of
pain now, but I''d rather him suffer now than suffer more in the future. They''ve only been together for
months—I don''t think it''s that hard for them to get over each other.
Alice was silent for a moment. "Do you still care about what Dn feels?"
Tilly froze and gazed at her granddaughter. Alice and Dn were her two beloved grandchildren, so
she felt rather hurt to hear her granddaughter uttering such words. "Do you think I''m too heartless too,
Alice? That I was too cruel? That I made a mistake?"
Alice then spoke up boldly. "Dn and Kendall are in love, and we, as Dn''s family, should be happy
for him. Whatever he does for Kendall is out of his own free will—what matters is that Kendall brings
him happiness. But that''s not what you think, Grandma. You''ve always treated Kendall as a pawn, and
you just wanted her to be Dn''s free nanny. I know you nned this out—you wanted to chase her
out once Dn had recovered, and you were just waiting for the right time to do it.
"Even though you imed that you''re doing this for Dn''s sake, it seems like this is more of a selfish
act. You were the one who cared for Dn growing up, and you value him a lot. Now that Kendall is
taking Dn''s attention away from you, you feel like Kendall stole him away, so you''re trying to chase
her out so that you can get his love and attention all for yourself," Alice uttered.
Tilly was speechless. She couldn''te up with any response to that. Alice''s words did have some
truth to them. Throughout Alice''s life, she had always noticed how Tilly treated Dn like a unique gem
that belonged to her. Every time Emily tried to get close to her son, Tilly would give Dn more work or
order him to do some chores for her, just so that he couldn''t spend much time with Emily. Dn was
Emily''s flesh and blood, yet Tilly still didn''t like it when they got close to each other. Tilly was afraid that
her status in Dn''s heart would be threatened if he got closer to his mother.
"Dn hasn''t eaten or drunk anything, and he''s been keeping himself locked in the study. He isn''t
opening the door for anyone." Alice told Tilly the truth. Kendall had been begging Dn not to torture
himself, but how could Dn give in just like that? He didn''t chase after Kendall, and he didn''t insist on
bringing her home, but he still wanted to show Tilly that he was just a soulless bag of meat without
Kendall in his life. He was practically a brain-dead zombie. He needed to win this argument with his
grandmother!
"Amos said that he heard the sound of things falling in the room and that there were some loud and
deep thuds now and then. He figured that it was the sound of Dn falling to the ground. Dn doesn''t
have his wheelchair with him, and he''s not fully recovered yet," Alice continued.
An agonized look surfaced in Tilly''s eyes, but she continued to be firm with her words. "If he''s not
eating, that means he isn''t hungry; if he''s not drinking, that means he isn''t thirsty. He can break a few
things if that helps him release his anger, and once that''s done, he''ll calm down and walk out of the
study."
"You know Dn well, Grandma. Do you really think he''lle out? What if he stays in there for ten
days or a fortnight? By the time we go in, all we''ll see is his…" Alice couldn''t bring herself to utter the
words ''dead body'' as she was afraid that her fears woulde true.
Tilly''s face fell, and she was silent for a moment before she said, "Help me over to take a look at the
study."
Alice helped the olddy up. "I''m afraid you won''t be able to see him. He locked himself in the study,
and he''s refusing to utter a single word. Mom, Dad, and the other brothers have been trying to talk
some sense into him the whole day," she uttered. Dn was a stubborn man.
"Kendall''s gone for good, Alice. I''m not going to allow Dn to bring her back," Tilly replied. Alice
pressed her lips together before she spoke. "What if Kendall''s pregnant, Grandma? Aren''t you afraid
that her child would end up taking her surname, especially if she gives birth to a daughter? We
Colemans arecking females in the house."
Tilly paused for a brief moment before replying, "It has been so long. If she had gotten pregnant, her
baby bump would''ve shown up a while ago. You''re not going to get me to change my mind with that
trick." She then added, "Even if she gets pregnant, she''d probably have a baby boy. We don''t need
boys anymore—we have too many of them. She can let her son follow her surname. It doesn''t matter
what the child''s surname is; the child belongs to us Colemans, as he has our blood in him."
Alice didn''t know how else she could convince Tilly to change her mind. Tilly imed she felt sorry for
Dn, yet she didn''t seem ready to lower her ego and allow him to bring Kendall home. Sigh! "You
should give Yasmine a call and get her toe over for some tea. She really fancies your brother—"
Tilly muttered.

"Yasmine might have a better family background than Kendall, but she''s a heartless woman, Grandma.
She''s a realist. Ever since Dn''s ident and when she found out Dn was infertile, she
immediately gave up on him. I can''t believe you''re telling me to call her over now that Dn has
recovered," Alice replied. Grandma''s too old to even think straight nowadays, she thought.
Tilly was speechless. Alice has a point—Yasmine is pretty heartless and realistic in her views. She let
out a loud sigh. Am I really wrong?
