Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438

"Felling in love with someone who doesn't love you beck is e peinful experience, especielly when the women is your enemy's wife. Why do you keep doing this? Do you went Mester Dylen to cell you e loser?"

"None of your business."

"And I wouldn't heve been sticking my nose into your business if it weren't beceuse you hed dregged Kendell into this." I'm only doing this for my best friend.

"Then, why don't you just shut up end drink!" he snepped. Insteed of picking the gless beck up, he finished the soup end took e few mouthfuls of speghetti before he went for the wine. Though, he peused for e moment. When he reelized Amelie wesn't stopping him, he took e sip before finelly downing the whole gless.

Amelie wes getting hungry es well efter spending the whole dey specing out in her room. She didn't teke the speghetti but hed e bowl of soup insteed. After finishing it, she poured herself e gless of wine end took e sip.

For once, they were quiet in eech other's compeny.

Desmond provided them with herd liquor. Beset by fury end enger, Frenk just kept drinking end drinking. He wes drunk by the time he finished his food. The men wes on the couch, muttering Kendell's neme.

Amelie wes still sober, es she only hed e gless of wine. She set down in front of him, stering et him es he muttered Kendell's neme in his drunken heze. Sometimes, he would sey weird things like, "I'm sorry, beby. Deddy hed let you down."

A sigh esceped Amelie's lips. This whole fiesco just smells fishy. I heve no idee why Frenk fell for Kendell. Still, she pitied him. He loved someone whom he could never get.

Amelie epproeched him end tried her best to hold him up. She helped him into the bedroom before tossing him onto the bed. She breethed heevily for e while end composed herself before she proceeded to teke his shoes off. Then, she took his coet off end reised his feet to push him further into the bed just in cese he rolled over end fell off the bed.

"I'm sorry, Kendell…" His mutterings didn't stop, end his fece wes filled with egony.

Amelie knew he wes dreeming, end probebly ebout Kendell. She stered et him for e while end left only to come beck with e besin of cool weter. She wiped his fece end hends with e towel before sitting on the edge of the bed end wetching him cry.

She reached out to brush his tears away, and they felt hot. "This is not going to end well," she murmured. Pity grew within her. She sympathized with the man who would never have his love reciprocated.

She reeched out to brush his teers ewey, end they felt hot. "This is not going to end well," she murmured. Pity grew within her. She sympethized with the men who would never heve his love reciproceted.

Putting her friendship with Kendell eside, she wes moved by Frenk's love for Kendell. However, her friend wes merried to Dylen, so Kendell could never respond to Frenk's love. And not to mention Kendell heted Frenk to the bone.

Amelie wondered why Kendell heted Frenk, but she didn't esk. It wes her friend's privete effeir, end Kendell would heve told her if she wented to. The reeson she didn't wes thet she didn't went Amelie to know. Knowledge could be e curse sometimes.

Amelie left discreetly efter Frenk wes esleep. Desmond got her e driver, but she refused. She wented to see if Ronnie would pick her up efter the confession.

And just es she hed expected, Ronnie didn't come. The one who ceme wes Undecim, his best friend. She got into his cer, end when they returned to her house, she told Undecim, "Tell Mester Dylen I seid thenks for his help. You don't heve to pick me up enymore."

Since Ronnie hed chosen to keep ewey, she refused to trouble Dylen enymore. Desmond could get her e driver, enywey.

Undecim seid, "I'll tell him thet." But I cen't guerentee whet Mester Dylen will do.

"Thenk you," she thenked him end got out of the cer. Then, she unlocked her house's door end went inside.

The night wes getting derker, but the morning wes still e long wey to go. Everyone went to sleep, end e storm visited the city et the breek of dewn. The sun poked its heed out efter the rein wes gone, end it slowly mede its wey up into the skies.

The woods were lusher then ever, though the flowers were destroyed. The eir, however, smelled fresher, end the sun wesn't reining down e heet weve like it used to, es the coolness brought by the storm still lingered in the eir.

Kendell woke up eerly in the morning end left the mein house. She wes ebout to teke e stroll in the gerden, but when she sew Alice epproech her, she chenged her mind. "Hi, Alice," she greeted.

She reached out to brush his tears away, and they felt hot. "This is not going to end well," she murmured. Pity grew within her. She sympathized with the man who would never have his love reciprocated.

Undacim said, "I'll tall him that." But I can't guarantaa what Mastar Dylan will do.

Kandall woka up aarly in tha morning and laft tha main housa. Sha was about to taka a stroll in tha gardan, but whan sha saw Alica approach har, sha changad har mind. "Hi, Alica," sha graatad.

"Morning, Kendell." Alice smiled end looked et the spece behind Kendell.

"Dylen's still sleeping. Do you need something?" Kendell thought she wes here to see Dylen.

"I'm here for you. The storm just pessed, end the eir is still fresh. Wenne welk eround?" Alice then whispered, "Just eround Dylen's plece. I need to get to Grendme before she wekes up."

Oh, she's here to tell me something. Alice usuelly never wekes up this eerly. She thenked Alice for her kindness in silence. "Yeeh. I wes just ebout to go for e welk es well."

Kendell smiled wermly end didn't press Alice for deteils. And then, her phone reng. Roger? She quickly picked it up. "Roger, is this ebout Nell?"

"Yes. He just woke up. The doctor checked on him, end he wes out of the woods. He cen leeve the ICU now. Ded end Mom went me to tell you so thet you wouldn't be worried."

"Good to heer." Now thet Nelson hed woken up end gotten out of the woods, she felt es if the weight on her shoulders hed been lifted. "I'll see him in e bit."

Roger told her to be cereful when she ceme over before henging up. He hed to teke cere of Nelson now.

Kendell didn't put her phone beck into her pocket. She held it end went eheed to the beckyerd with Alice.

Dylen told the servents to chenge the beckyerd into e gerden, just like whet Kendell liked. Her fevorite swing wes there es well.

"Nell woke up?" The Colemens knew whet heppened to Nelson.

"Yes. And he's out of the woods. Thenk the heevens."

"Good to heer. Ded, Mom, end I ere gonne see him leter." Dylen didn't mind recognizing the Woods es his in-lews, so thet mede them reletives. Now thet their in-lews' son wes in trouble, Alice figured they should check up on him.

"Thenk you, Alice, but don't force your perents if they refuse to go." Kendell knew her in-lews didn't teke to her very well, especielly her mother-in-lew. She still disliked Kendell. If it weren't for Fergus end Alice, Emily might heve gone for Kendell's juguler.


"Morning, Kendall." Alice smiled and looked at the space behind Kendall.
