Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 134

As Old Madam Coleman wielded her anger with a slap on her thigh, she could not feel any sensation. However, her precious granddaughter started to groan beside her.

"What's the matter with you, Ally?" she asked while suspiciously looking at Alice.

Alice grumbled as a response, "Grandma, you just slapped my thigh instead of yours." The impact was so powerful that her thighs felt like they were on fire.

Old Madam Coleman looked down and immediately retracted her hand. She quickly stretched her hand out and rubbed the area where Alice had been slapped. "Ally, does it hurt? I have no idea why I just did that. No wonder I couldn't feel it; I assumed that my old legs were numb."

"Grandma, what makes you so angry about Kendall? How did she get permission to live with us?" Alice asked with curiosity.

Old Madam Coleman frowned and rebuked angrily, "Kendall is married to your brother and the day they received their marriage certificate happened to be the same day she slit her wrist. Dylan was way too secretive to be hiding such an important matter."

Alice was completely taken aback. "Marriage certificate? Does that make Kendall my sister-in-law now?"

"She's not your sister-in-law, Ally. I don't like her being your sister-in-law."

Old Madam Coleman was now filled with a rage that she had nowhere to vent to. As a result, she refused to acknowledge Kendall's identity. "What does she think of the Colemans? Who exactly does she think Dylan is? Does she think she can marry whenever she wants and cut her wrist whenever she refuses?"

"Grandma, I think it's fine as long as Dylan adores her. I already knew that they are husband and wife and I can see he treats her well," Yoseph stated.

As soon as he finished his sentence, Old Madam Coleman and Alice both looked at him. He then realized that being a busybody could bring him troubles.

Old Madam Coleman was enraged because Yoseph would irritate her everytime she spoke. "Yoseph, you already knew about their marriage? Why am I just hearing about this?!" she yelled.

"Grandma, if Dylan doesn’t say anything about it, why should I? He will torment me for sure. Furthermore, you didn’t even help me out when he disciplined me last time!"

"Very well!" Old Madam Coleman chuckled.

"Yoseph, I see you're almost thirty this year, just about the same age as Steve, but you're two months older. At that time, your mother and Aunt Julie both gave birth in the same year, so I had two grandchildren in a year. For a while, I was overjoyed and clearly remembered your age."

"You have a great memory, Grandma. I'm fifteen years old this year and still very young. I will always be your cute little kiddo," Yoseph added.

"I heard from my old friend, Mrs. Morris, that her granddaughter will return from abroad next week. She is two years younger than you. When she comes back, I want you to pick her up at the airport and befriend her."

This is clearly a blind date in disguise. As Yoseph heard her instructions, he instantly rubbed his stomach and said to Old Madam Coleman, "Grandma, I think I had too much barbecue in the afternoon and I'm having an upset stomach. I need to see a doctor first." He turned around and ran away as fast as he could after answering his grandmother.

He did not want to have blind date with Mrs. Morris' granddaughter.

Jane had a gentle name, but she did not inherit the kind temperament of her name. When they used to fight as children, she was always scratching his face; the pain made him cry and she even made fun of his tears. It was shameful!

Although twenty years had passed, he still remembered Jane as the girl who was two years younger and enjoyed fighting with him.

"You can run away this time, but you can't run away forever!"

"I'll wait till Jane comes back before searching for a way to bring you to her!" Old Madam Coleman hummed. After that, she turned to look at her granddaughter.

Alice, who had a strong desire to 'survive', quickly declared, "Grandma, I only just found out that Kendall's my sister-in-law."

Old Madam Coleman hugged her affectionately. "I know my good-natured granddaughter is not as sneaky as her lying brothers. I'll be sad to even marry you off so soon! Don't worry, there won't be any blind dates for you."

"Thank you for your mercy, Grandma."

"You've watched too many dramas, kid." The grandmother pinched Alice's cheeks lightly before Alice's amused smile finally melted Old Madam Coleman's sullen mood.

…

Over at Glade Villa District, Kelly parked her car in front of Jackson's villa. Out of habit, she looked around to make sure that she was not followed before getting out of the car with her bag. She then quickly walked to the door and rang the doorbell.

Soon, Jackson came out to open the door for her.

"Where's your servant?" she asked casually.

"I gave them a day off since we're going to have our private time." After he was discharged from the hospital, he did not return to the Whittle Family but moved into a villa under his own name instead.

She smiled and said, "Even if they're present, we can also talk privately. I'm sure they won't even think of eavesdropping.
