Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 144

"But I'm happy to see you receiving my presents. Be careful or I'll flood your house with gifts."

Dylan pinched her cheek upon hearing Kendall's cheeky remarks. "You better be."

He did not answer her, but instead hugged her waist.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

However, to his dismay, Kendall's phone rang just at the 'right' time, interrupting their intimate moment. A frustrated Dylan decided that the caller had just lost his favor at that moment.

"It's Amelia." Kendall gladly answered the call from her best friend.

"Kendall, are you off work now?"

"Yeah."

"Wanna have a meal together? I'll come to you since I'm already on the way to your office."

"I'm on my way for an appointment with a client, though. Let's hang out some other day, Amelia."

Amelia was disheartened by the sad news. "Alright, then. Ever since you've started working, I have no one to hang out with anymore and I'm bored to death. Do you think I should find myself a job? It's because my father and brother said there's no need for me to work as long as they're here because they're earning enough money for me to splurge. They made it sound like I am a materialistic girl."

Kendall could only chuckle to Amelia's rant. "Spending the money you earned for yourself feels different, though. You can find a job or maybe open a shop for yourself to kill time."

"I've always wanted to own a photo studio! That way, I can openly take pictures of hot guys."

Kendall was rendered speechless by Amelia' words.

"Oh, Kendall. I overheard something juicy. Do you wanna know what it is?"

"You know that gossip is my favorite. Go on, tell me."

Amelia kept silent for a moment before announcing, "Jackson is going to take responsibility for Krystal."

Despite the shocking news, Kendall replied with equanimity, "Jackson? How is he going to take responsibility? By marrying her?"

First of all, would Mrs. Whittle even want to accept Krystal as her daughter-in-law? Kendall was married to Jackson during her previous life as the young mistress of the Parker Family, yet that vile woman kept picking on her, reproaching her and disparaging her as if she was not worth a penny at all. The Caddel Family was not on par with the Whittle Family, let alone the Parker Family. Therefore, there was no way Mrs. Whittle would favor Krystal.

"The rumors had it that Jackson is currently with the Caddel Family."

Kendall responded nonchalantly, "Guess he knows when he should bow down if the situation calls for it."

In this lifetime, Kendall did not fall into Jackson's palm, yet he was going to marry Krystal instead. It seemed like Kelly could never run away from her fate of being Jackson's mistress after all. When Kendall asked Kelly questions earlier this morning, she noticed the hickies around Kelly's neck where they were standing close to each other.

It must be Jackson's doing. Yet, he was planning to marry Krystal when his relationship with Kelly was at its height? I wonder how Kelly will react after hearing the news.

After ending the call, Kendall was in a daze as she thought about her previous life where she had loved Jackson to death and gave her everything to him. Yet, what she received was not what she deserved. Fortunately, she was able to escape the disastrous nightmare this time.

"Are you upset now that the man you love is marrying another woman? Should I snatch him for you?" An icy voice resounded, sending shudders to Kendall's spine.

He's jealous. What should I do? "Dylan, I-I'm not upset! I swear!"

Dylan retorted, "You're not upset? Then, what were you thinking about just now? You're regretting the fact that you didn't get to marry him, aren't you? Kendall Parker, you were the one begging for this marriage between us. And I gave you your last chance to take back your words. It's too late for any regrets now."

"Dylan, I do not regret marrying you in the slightest! You have my word and I will never take it back. Whoever his future wife is, it's none of my concern. I was thinking about something else, not about marrying him." Kendall was aware of the repercussion of provoking this man.

He snorted in reply.

"Dylan." She reached out to pull his hand, but he shoved her hand away and cast his gaze outside the window, not wanting to look at her at the moment.

"Dylan, I'm telling the truth. I don't regret marrying you and I don't give a fig about who Jackson is going to marry. Trust me."
