Chapter 654 Happy Family
Sally smiled helplessly. "If Nelson were willing to marry earlier, we would've been grandparents by now. There's no point taking care of my skin at this age. Most middle-aged women in the village use cleansers only. We don't use a whole range of skincare or cosmetic products."
Just then, Kendall was done changing into a new dress and leaving the dressing room when she heard the conversation between her two mothers, so she said, "She has a point. Regardless of a woman's age, we have to treat ourselves better. Even when we're no longer young, we still have to take care of our skin. Even if we become grandmothers, we have to be the most gorgeous ones. By the way, have you been using the skincare products I bought for you?"
Sally replied with a smile, "I don't have the habit of using skincare products. It's troublesome to apply so many products after cleaning my face. Don't worry. I didn't throw them away. I sold them to someone else."
At that, Kendall was rendered speechless.
"Don't you think Kendall looks beautiful in this dress, Charlie? She's like a fairy. Our daughter is indeed good-looking." Sally praised her daughter.
Meanwhile, Charlotte examined Kendall seriously.
Worried that Charlotte would make her try on other clothes again, Kendall said, "Mom, this is good enough. The dress was slightly oversized when I bought it, but now it feels comfortable. Oh, my gosh! Does that mean I've put on some weight?" Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
If not for the dress, she would've thought that she was still slim. She must have put on some weight because Dylan's family members had been preparing nourishing foods for her recently. Most pregnant
women would retch as soon as they ate, but she didn't suffer from any morning sickness at all. If she kept it a secret, no one could tell that she was pregnant. She was only sleepy during the early stage of her pregnancy.
Worried that her daughter would try to lose weight, Charlotte hurriedly said, "Don't say such nonsense. You're still as slim as ever. Anyway, you mustn't go on a diet and starve my grandson. If you dare to do that, I'll keep an eye on you to make sure you eat properly every day."
"Dylan would like a daughter. Why don't you call the child your granddaughter, Mom? Perhaps it'll turn out to be a girl." As Kendall spoke, she took her mothers' hands and left the room. She wanted to take the chance and distract Charlotte so that her mother wouldn't force her to try on other clothes.
Charlotte replied, "I understand that they mostly have sons in their family, but I won't call the unborn child my granddaughter in case it turns out to be a boy. We'll be disappointed. I'll just call it my 'grandchild,' and it'll be a surprise if a girl is born. Anyway, the child's gender doesn't matter."
Sally said with a smile, "Regardless of what we say now, we can't change the outcome."
The child's gender was already determined the moment Kendall was pregnant.
After leaving the room, the two mothers changed the topic.
"Wait a minute, Kendall. I've brought you some clothes, but you haven't tried them yet. Why have we left the room?" Charlotte finally realized that her daughter had deliberately lured her out of the room. "Also, the jewelry pieces you're wearing are not good enough. Go back into the room. I'll help you choose some elegant-looking jewelry pieces."
"Mom." Kendall made Charlotte stop. "My outfit is good enough. Anyway, I hear some car horns. I think Dylan's family members have arrived. We'd better go downstairs now."
At the same time, she signaled for Sally to help bring her mother downstairs. She had been tortured by Charlotte the entire morning.
Meanwhile, Dylan was waiting on the couch on the first floor. Sometimes, he would respond to his father-in-law, though he kept looking at the stairs. It was no wonder Sally said that he couldn't wait to see Kendall.
In truth, Dylan just felt that he didn't share any common interests with the others. Besides talking business, he rarely chatted with anyone. He would only speak more when he was with Kendall, who had always been a talkative person. Most of the time, she would talk while he would listen.
Since he didn't have any common topics to talk about with the others, it was only natural that he hoped for his wife to come downstairs sooner. Upon seeing his expression, they just assumed that he missed Kendall. When Kendall and her mothers finally came downstairs, he was relieved.
Charlotte gently pushed her daughter forward and asked with a smile, "What do you think about Kendall's dress, Dylan?"
Dylan looked at his wife with a fervent gaze and replied softly, "She looks gorgeous. Anyway, she looks good in any dress because she's beautiful."
Hearing that, Kendall couldn't help feeling bashful. Even though they had been together for a long time, she would still feel shy whenever the man complimented her.
Sally said with a smile, "Just like what I always say, Kendall looks good in any dress because she's attractive."
While everyone was laughing, Kelly forced a smile. She wondered if she could ever marry a man. Given her reputation, no decent man would be willing to marry her. Even if a man wanted to do so, his mother wouldn't agree to it.
That was what happened with Brian. Although he claimed to love Kelly, he still tried to make up with Dulcie just because his mother was against them getting together. Even though Dulcie was just her substitute, she was a young lady from the Sullivan Family, after all.
It was unlike Kelly, who made love with Brian and was now pregnant with his child. What was more, she wasn't the real young lady from the Parker Family.
She took pity on herself while feeling resentful. If she wanted to marry any man, she probably had to leave Orapolis and start from scratch in another city. However, she didn't want to leave. She wanted to get all of the Parkers' wealth.
As long as they couldn't get to Rosemi and her, the two of them would still work together to destroy the Parkers.
Just then, a servant came over and said with a smile, "Mr. Coleman's family members have arrived, Mr. and Mrs. Parker."
Hearing that, Adam quickly led everyone to leave the house.
Dylan initially wanted to stay in the house, but his wife pulled him up from the couch. Kendall whispered, "Why are you still seated when your grandmother and the others have arrived?"
At that, Dylan was speechless.
Their neighbors were aware that the Colemans would be sending wedding gifts to the Parkers that day, so they had been paying close attention to their house.
The moment the Colemans' fleet of cars appeared, the neighbors went to the top floor of their houses so that they could have a better view.
The elders of the Coleman Family had all arrived. It was a long fleet of cars. They estimated that there were roughly 20 vehicles.
Although the Colemans were only sending wedding gifts, they arrived grandly. When the wedding was held, the fleet of cars would certainly break the record, and everyone in Orapolis would be amazed.
The Colemans were wealthy, so they didn't need to rent any cars. They just had to drive their cars out of their garage, and it would be impressive.
The neighbors were envious of Kendall. Even though she grew up in a village, she was lucky enough to marry an extremely wealthy man.
The Parkers opened the gates. Adam and his wife stood in the front row and had smiles.
When Tilly's car finally stopped, Adam and his wife went over in a hurry. One of them opened the car door while the other leaned in close to Tilly and helped her out of the vehicle.
Tilly said with a smile, "Thanks, Charlotte."
An elegant Charlotte replied with a smile, "Don't mention it. Be careful, Old Madam Coleman. The weather has been sweltering, but you're still willing to come here. We're truly honored, and Kendall is lucky to have married your grandson."
Regardless of how Tilly treated Kendall in the past, there was no denying that she was an influential figure in Orapolis.
