Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 227

Chapter 226

Kendall smiled even brighter. "Dylan, I love how you always say something so peremptory." She touched his thin lips. "So, you want me to kiss you? Even though you have always frowned at me for slobbering all over your face? You're such a fickle man, Dylan. Just look at your thin lips. But, I also heard that people with thin lips are not only fickle-minded, but heartless too."

As she probed his lips teasingly while saying that, Dylan opened his mouth and bit her hand, after which she immediately retracted in slight pain.

Then, he said in a deep voice, "I may be heartless toward others, but I would never do that to you."

"Am I the one and only?"

"Uh-huh."

"I love you so much, Dylan. Come on, give me a kiss."

Dylan's lips curved up for a moment before he leaned toward her and pecked her on the lips. He said tenderly, "It's still early. Let's sleep for another while."

"I can't sleep anymore." Kendall got up again. "Dylan, I'd like to check on my pets." She rarely had time to visit her pets since she sent them to Pet Palace. And since she did not take care of them personally, she bet they would not even come close to her anymore. However, these pets were a gift from Dylan, so she would treasure them no matter what.

"It's still raining outside, though," Dylan replied impassively while picking up his cell phone on the nightstand to call Amos. "Get a car ready to escort Young Mistress Kendall to Pet Palace."

At first, Kendall had wanted to turn down the offer of a car ride, but she then recalled that Pet Palace was really far away from Coleman Residence. So, it would most likely take her forever to reach there if she had chosen to go on foot.

After giving Amos the instructions, Dylan put down his cell phone and said, "You should go wash up and get changed before heading out. Come back to our usual place for breakfast after you're done visiting the pets."

"Alright, Dylan. I'm so lucky to have you." Kendall could not help but give him a few more kisses. Whatever she wanted to do, he would have it arranged for her straight away. Even on the occasion where he did no such thing, he would give her a few pointers here and there. Dylan is such a nice guy. I must've been stupid in my previous life to have chosen Jackson over him. Speaking of Jackson, she wondered how her family had responded after finding out the love affair between Jackson and Kelly. She had wanted to go back to her parents' home to see how it went last night, but she dropped the idea since it was pretty late. Even if she went back right now, the show was already over a long time ago.

Anyway, she went to wash up and change into outdoor clothes as quickly as possible. Then, she left the house after bidding Dylan a goodbye.

After she left, Dylan made a phone call to someone. "About the report on the love affairs between Jackson and Kelly yesterday, it was Kendall who made the call. Tell your men to keep it a secret." He figured that the cheating couple would want to track down the witness who reported them to the police after they had recovered from the shock. Kendall plans to broadcast the video at Jackson and Krystal's wedding when they least expect it. That way, it will deal a much heavier blow on them. So, until then, we’ll let the cheating couple enjoy whatever sweet time they have left.

The person on the other end replied with a yawn, "Rest assured. I've given the orders after seeing the announcement of your marriage last night. Even if I didn't do it, it's still part of our duty to ensure the identity of the reporter remains confidential."

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it. Are you and Kendall for real?"

"I, Dylan Coleman, would never joke about my own marriage."

The person fell silent for a moment. Then, he said, "Since you're serious about it, I'll give you my best wishes. Tell me when the wedding will be held. I'll see whether I can find the time to be your best man."

"Okay."

With that, the call ended.

Meanwhile, Kendall ran into Alice at Pet Palace.

Alice was standing under the pavilion with a white rabbit in her arms. When she saw Kendall's arrival, she greeted with a smile. "Hi, Kendall."

Taking the umbrella from Amos, Kendall greeted back with a smile as she walked up to Alice. "You're up early, Alice."

"It's raining today. I feared that my pets might be caught in the rain, so I came here to take a look. Luckily, the pets were kept out of the rain immediately." Actually, the pets had their own nests. However, their nests were not sturdy enough to shield them from the heavy rain, so they had to be transferred to somewhere much safer. If it was any other day, Alice would have stayed in bed until late in the morning.

The two ladies got along very well since they had something to talk about.

Suddenly, Alice asked, "Kendall, did my brother tell you that he quarreled with my mom?"

"Dylan didn't tell me about it, but Mr. Miller did." Kendall then lowered her voice as she asked, "Was it serious?"

"Well, not really. My mom was the only one who got angry the whole time. Dylan just made it worse by talking back to her, but that's all." Alice let out a sigh. Looking at Kendall, she said, "You're such a nice person, yet she is blind to it."

Kendall smiled. "Your mom and I barely spent time together. We met no more than a few times and spoke to each other even less often. Moreover, I refused to help her wash the clothes by hand last time, so it's normal for her to dislike me. I'll try my best to make myself better until I'm worthy of Dylan. By then, I’m sure she won't be against our marriage anymore." Emily disliked her at the moment because she felt that Kendall was not worthy of Dylan.

"My mom thinks that only someone like Yasmine is worthy enough of Dylan, but I don't like such a practical woman."

"This is reality. It's only normal for Yasmine to make such a decision." Not everyone was willing to marry an impotent husband, especially when they were still young. In fact, Kendall only married Dylan to repay the kindness he had shown her in her previous life, but she never thought that she would end up falling in love with him. He was so nice that her heart drew close to him despite her control. As a result, their married life was filled with excitement.

Alice did not expect Kendall to stand up for Yasmine. She stared at Kendall quietly, which amused the latter. "Alice, if you keep looking at me like that, I might have the wrong idea that you've fallen in love with me. What should I do then? I already have your brother; I can't marry both you and him."

Alice was rendered speechless. "Kendall!" She pinched Kendall gently in amusement and annoyance. "It's lucky that Dylan isn't here. If he hears what you said, he'll surely treat me as his love rival."

"I'm sure it won't be that serious. You're his beloved sister, after all."

Alice replied, "I'm his beloved sister when I'm not being compared to you. However, you're the one who he's going to spend the rest of his life with, not me." She was well aware of what kind of a person her brother was. He was not the kind of man who would wrong his wife for his siblings' sake. Instead, he would do his best so that his wife could get along well with his siblings.

Recalling how petty her husband could be, Kendall chuckled. "Now that you say so, I do think that he might get jealous of you."

"Kendall, Yasmine keeps picking on you, but you still speak for her, which makes me realize how magnanimous you are. You'll definitely be a great woman. You have the magnanimity of someone who's destined to do great things."
