Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 354

"It doesn't matter how many beauties Dylan's ever seen as long as you're the one he loves the most."

Kendall laughed out happily and replied, "You're right, Mom. After all, I beat all of the other beauties and stood out

among them, all thanks to my shamelessness…"

Before she could finish her words, Charlotte gently knocked her forehead with her knuckles. "Why does it sound like

you're proud of your shamelessness, silly girl? You need to be grateful that fate brought you and Dylan together;

otherwise, your shamelessness alone wouldn't have caught Dylan's eyes at all. Don't forget, those ladies who were

so crazy over him abandoned their pride just to win his heart."

When Kendall heard her mother's words, she was reminded of Yasmine, who abandoned her decency and pride. At

the thought of that, she nodded her head and replied, "You have a point, Mom. It's fate that brought me and Dylan

together." We missed out on our chance to be together in our past life, but in this one, the chance is in our hands. If

I'm going to be born again in the next life, I'd want to marry Dylan too.

"Behave yourself when your parents-in-law arrive later. Don't let your big mouth act before your mind does."

Charlotte reminded Kendall to keep her decency in mind all the time.

"Alright, I heard you, Mom."

"Have they started to treat you better by the way?" Charlotte asked in a concerned manner.

Kendall honestly answered, "My father-in-law is an easy-going and open-minded man, but my mother-in-law hasn't

been really happy with me. However, Dylan has been protecting me all this while and has even fallen out with his

mother a few times." She paused and added, "Anyway, I think I'm to blame as well because I could have done

something to get along with them better. After all, my mother-in-law still thinks I'm the same person as I was back

then, and I'm not surprised she doesn't like me at all. From now on, I'll probably spend some time bonding with her

to improve our relationship."

Deep down, she wasn't about to give up without trying to gain Emily's favor. While she was prepared to accept her

fate should her effort fail to change Emily's attitude toward her, she understood why her mother-in-law wouldn't like

her because she hadn't even tried doing anything.

"I'm glad that you think that way. Try spending some time with your mother-in-law and see how things play out

between the two of you. If she still doesn't like you, then maybe you should distance yourself from her while trying

to preserve your relationship with her. However, you should also stand up for yourself whenever necessary.

"Kendall, out of all the wealthy families you could have married into, you picked the Coleman Family. While our

family is also among the rich ones, we're far from comparison with the Coleman Family. Therefore, you're going to

have to depend on yourself most of the time because your dad and I can't really do much to help you, but

remember, we'll always have your back. If you are not happy living with the Coleman Family, just divorce Dylan and

come back to us. Your dad and I can support you for the rest of your life."

Touched, Kendall turned around and hugged her mother. "Thank you so much, Mom. I know what to do, and I won't

let anyone take advantage of me. If that happens, I'll surely leave without a second thought. Nevertheless, Dylan

has treated me pretty well until this day. With him by my side, my life with the Coleman Family has been pretty

good so far."

Charlotte let out a sigh and said, "Well, I guess that's because he can't be like a normal man in bed, and most ladies

wouldn't want to sacrifice their future being tied down by that kind of marriage. However, even if he was normal,

there was no telling that he wouldn't betray your marriage either when he found himself surrounded by ladies,

although he may be in a wheelchair now."

"Mom."

Kendall leaned closer to her mother's ear and whispered something inaudible to others, whereupon the latter was

seen with her eyes wide open. Charlotte then asked in surprise, "Really?"

"I experienced it myself, Mom. Why would I lie to you about that? Dylan and I are going to live a happy life, so don't

worry about us." While Dylan was a man who wouldn't get attached to anyone easily, he would commit to a

relationship with his life once he fell in love with someone. Therefore, Kendall was grateful that Dylan had entered

her life. To The God of Reincarnation, you have my thanks for having brought me back to this life. Because of you, I

was able to fix the mistake I made in my last life and avoid repeating the same tragedy.

"That's amazing!" Charlotte smiled brightly, only to be seen with her lips stiffening the next second while Kelly's

words kept reverberating in her head. If this Kendall isn't the real Kendall, that means my actual daughter must

have been killed by this imposter. If the DNA paternity test result confirms my suspicion, it will mean that Dylan is in

love with the fake Kendall. At the thought of that, Charlotte became worried, thinking her chances of seeking justice

for her daughter would become slimmer if her worst fear happened as she knew Dylan would likely side with his

own wife.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Kendall noticed the stiffened smile on her mother's face, expressing her concern. "Did some

unhappy memories just flash your mind or something?"

Charlotte smiled and shook her head. "I'm fine." She then stretched out her arm to touch Kendall's face, wondering

if she had undergone plastic surgery. Did plastic surgery really do a great job? Or is my imagination just running

wild? I can't tell whether Kendall is my daughter or not. Soon, the lady quickly pulled herself together and decided

to go ahead with the paternity test once her daughter's in-laws were gone.

Knowing that it would take a few days until the result was revealed, Charlotte looked forward to the moment of

truth, which would probably be revealed in the following week. At the thought of that, she snapped out of her

trance and seized Kendall's hand, gently saying, "Come on, let's head downstairs. Dylan and the others are going to

be here soon."

Kendall responded with an affirmative hum as Charlotte took her downstairs. In the meantime, the others were

busy talking in the living room until the mother and daughter, who came down the stairs, drew their attention. The

moment they saw Kendall's beautiful look, their eyes lit up with amazement and surprise.

Meanwhile, Kelly was overwhelmed by her jealousy, wrapping her fingers tightly around her phone. The moment

Kelly and Kendall swapped their places back, Kelly knew her sister was actually an absolute beauty, although she

used to think Kendall was nowhere near as pretty as she was. When she took a closer look at Kendall at that

moment, she realized her sister seemed even prettier and more gorgeous than ever before. Then, she was

reminded of something she heard earlier about a top-notch charm school in which Kendall learned all her social

graces, thanks to Dylan's arrangements.

"Kendall, if we hadn't been brother and sister for the past two decades, I wouldn't have dared to talk to you." Roger

was amazed by Kendall's beauty as he joked with her.

On the other hand, Nelson couldn't take his eyes off the woman he had a crush on. While Kendall used to be the

little sister he loved dearly, he seemed to feel differently toward her after he found out they were not related by

blood. However, he quickly realized there was no hope of winning Kendall's heart the moment he met Dylan,

knowing he was no match for the man. Alas! Kendall and I are meant to be brother and sister for our whole life, I

guess. Dylan is too great a love rival for me.

While Kendall's simple-minded nature prevented her from noticing the change in Nelson's feelings for her, Dylan

was observant enough to sense what was wrong despite their first meeting. Because of that, he didn't like it when

Kendall was alone with Nelson.

In the meantime, Nelson got over his jealousy when Roger nudged him with his elbow, smiling and saying, "Kendall

has been a beauty since she was little. With a little makeover and a beautiful dress, she now looks like an angel

from heaven."

Hearing that, Kelly pouted in jealousy. So, this is my brother! Why does he only see all the good things about

Kendall?!

"Sir, Madam." A maid walked in with a smile on her face, gazing at Adam and his wife. "Master Dylan is here. There

are also many cars outside. It looks like they brought a lot of stuff with them." She smiled and added, "It is quite a

lovely scene."

While their arrival created quite a commotion, all the neighbors came closer to investigate what was going on. On

the other hand, the Coleman Family prepared a lot of gifts for the occasion in which Dylan and Kendall's parents

were going to meet each other. Since Dylan and his parents visited with many gifts that he told Amos to prepare

earlier, their high profile drew the attention of everyone else in the neighborhood. After all, Dylan wanted to make

Kendall proud by making her the happiest woman everyone else wanted to be.

Meanwhile, Adam stood up and looked at Milo. "Come, Milo. Let's welcome our daughter's in-laws."

At that, Milo was nervous but was able to quickly calm himself down shortly after. He rose from his seat and

nodded, stepping aside to let Adam and his wife go first before he and his wife followed behind them. After all, he

reckoned it was necessary for him to let Adam and his wife do the honors since they were Kendall's biological

parents.
