Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 207

Faced with this attractive world full of temptations, Tilly didn't believe that Kendall would be able to

focus solely on Dylan for the rest of her life. Tilly was confident that it would be impossible for Kendall

to resist the basic temptations of human nature and take the wrong step thereafter.

Their only mission was to collect evidence and once the timing was right, they would be able to kick

Kendall out of the family immediately.

Emily expressed her concern, "Mom, what if Dylan realizes what we did and loses his temper? What

should we do then?"

Tilly looked at her and was slightly disgruntled. "I'm his grandma and I brought him up single-handedly.

I've nurtured him and brought him up well. You're his mother and even though he's not that close to

you, he respects you too. Even if he loses his temper, what could he do to the two of us?"

"Are you really going to accept Kendall as your daughter-in-law? Dylan hasn't regained complete

mobility right now and he can't move around as any normal person so Kendall's presence would be

useful in getting him to persist in doing physiotherapy. Once he regains mobility, even if he files for

divorce with Kendall, there would be plenty of women waiting to marry him if he wants a second

marriage."

"Then, Dylan can't…"

Tilly responded calmly, "As long as Dylan agrees to see a doctor, his issue can be treated."

However, Emily remained concerned. "Mom, you've seen Dylan's response earlier. If we actually take

action against Kendall, he might move out—"

"That's why I told you to send someone to keep an eye on Kendall and tackle things from her end. If

she ends up doing something to betray Dylan's trust then we wouldn't even need to do anything to her

because he would kick her out himself and get a divorce with her. There isn't a single man on earth

who could accept a wife that cheated on him."

"But what if Kendall is firm enough to not cheat on him?"

Tilly rolled her eyes at Emily. "There are too many temptations in the outside world. If Kendall can fall in

love at first sight with a man like Jackson before turning her back on him to marry Dylan, then surely

that indicates that she's not loyal in her love. Once she encounters a handsome man who treats her

nicely then she wouldn't be able to resist the temptation."

Emily considered the situation and found that Tilly's words made perfect sense.

After Kendall had returned to the Parker Family, she had fallen in love with Jackson at first sight and

was even obsessed with him. In order to marry Jackson, she had resorted to all sorts of tactics and she

didn't even care about offending the Coleman Family.

However, suddenly, she ended up marrying Dylan out of nowhere and she changed her mind so swiftly.

That was a clear indication of how fickle she was.

"Mom, I get it. I'll make sure to follow your instructions."

"Okay, just be careful. Other than the two of us, don't let anyone else know this, not even Fergus. He's

always trying to play nice and sit on the fence."

Tilly knew the personality of her eldest son very well. Fergus hadn't held control of Coleman Empire

Holdings for too long because he had just been the bridge. She and her husband had only retired upon

Dylan reaching adulthood.

While Dylan went through the challenges and hardships, Fergus had been the president of the

company then.

Frankly, Tilly hadn't been too pleased with her eldest son. He wasn't exactly incompetent but he was

not sharp enough in his ways. He was not as dominant and decisive in his ways as Dylan.

As such, there were a lot of things that she was reluctant to let Fergus know to prevent him from ruining

her plans.

"Mom, I got it."

Naturally, Emily didn't want anyone else to know about this as she was worried that Dylan would kick

up a fuss if he realized.

Based on Dylan's personality, he would definitely retaliate and arrange for his people to spy on her and

restrict her freedom. Naturally, no one would wish to be spied upon.

Meanwhile, Kendall was oblivious to the plots of both her mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law. She

was led out of the main house by Dylan and they left the mansion together.

Along the way to work, Dylan turned to her. "My mom's asked for a day off on your behalf, so just skip

work in the morning. I'll go with you to the hospital. Sally will be discharged today, right? Let's go and

take her from the hospital to send her home. We can head to work in the afternoon."

In response, Kendall nodded meekly. "Sure."

She leaned her head on his shoulders and asked in a soft voice, "Dylan, do you feel burdened after

you married me? Although I'm the actual daughter of the Parker Family, I was switched at birth so I

grew up under Sally's care. Even though she gave me the best of everything that she could afford, they

mean nothing in your social circle. I'm still regarded as a country bumpkin. I'm not like Kelly, who has

the ability to take control of a large corporation, handle business dealings, sign off a deal, and handle

everything with ease. I've just entered the corporate world, so I have to start fresh in everything. In the

outside world, I am of no benefit at all. At home, I'm a burden to you and I am constantly the source of

argument and conflict for you and your family members."

This was the first time ever that Kendall experienced the pressure of being in a marriage that was

unequal in terms of social status.

Dylan wrapped his arms around her shoulders and purposely heaved a sigh. "Yes, I feel so burdened

but what can I do about that? I've been branded by your mark and either way, I would have to take your

hand in marriage or wait for you to take mine."

To think that she wanted to take the hand of the Young Master of the Coleman Family in marriage…

Dylan grimaced at the thought of that. He couldn't believe the guts of her to mention such words to him

and he hadn't done anything to her at all too.

From the start, their lives had been intertwined by fate.

"Dylan…"

"Kendall, I would do everything for you willingly."

Kendall was significantly touched by his words and she was rendered speechless. She could only lift

her head and look at him silently. Subconsciously, she felt the tears well up in her eyes.

In her past life, after she had rejected his marriage proposal, not only did he not cause trouble for her,

he had even helped her too. In this lifetime, she forcefully stuck to him and he had initially intended to

teach her a lesson. However, after she had an upset stomach after being forced to eat spicy food, he

no longer really did anything to teach her a lesson.

Right now, he treasured her very much and he was indeed a great man because he treated her very

well.

If only she hadn't rejected his marriage proposal in her previous life and married him like right now, that

tragedy would not have befallen her. Perhaps she was just not fated to have the baby, but she would

not have wanted her baby to die at such a young age. Only a mother would be able to register how

much pain Kendall felt upon recalling her baby.

"You silly girl, why are you crying? You're my wife so obviously, it's normal for me to treat you well."

Dylan wiped off her tears with a pained expression and he continued with a slight ache, "Don't blame

yourself. I should be the one who feels remorseful. You're forced to suffer the injustice delivered by my

family members all because of me."

"Dylan." Kendall dived into his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist tightly. She teared up in

his arms from being touched by his words.

"Dylan, this isn't your fault. I'm not good enough. I'll strive to do my best so that they will accept me and

stop finding fault with me. I won't let you get into another conflicting situation with them because of me."

"You silly girl. No one would be able to perfect things naturally. It takes time to do that. I trust that my

little cheeky girl would definitely improve and showcase her beauty and charm for me."

His little cheeky girl?

Kendall lifted her head and her pretty face was tear-streaked. She chided him coyly, "Dylan, is that your

nickname for me? Little cheeky girl?"

Dylan smiled. "You are cheeky."

At that point, she was speechless. Alright, I am quite cheeky. Yasmine scolded me too. Well, it doesn't

matter, as long as it's his special nickname for me.

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you…"

Kendall's cell phone rang suddenly.

She glanced at the caller ID and turned to Dylan. "It's Mr. Dawson."
