Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 199

"Dylan is not doing this for us. He's doing it for Kendall to make her feel at ease, and he wants to perform well in front of her. If we want to help her, we must give him this chance."

Nelson replied, "Mom, after Kendall and I went out, what did you and Dylan talk about? When we came back, it felt like the atmosphere was freezing."

"It would be nice if there was something to say, but there was nothing we could talk about, so the atmosphere was awkward. That's Dylan Coleman, after all. Of course, I don't dare to talk to him about what's going on at home. Do you think he's like those people in our village who are interested in whether our chickens laid eggs today? However, Dylan is really good to Kendall. No matter what the rumors about Dylan are like, I've witnessed them interacting with my own eyes. As long as he treats Kendall well and she lives happily, I can rest assured. We should live our lives well and not care what other people say."

"Mom, there are rumors about Dylan that he is inhuman. No matter how good he is to Kendall, he's never really there for her. For this alone, I feel sorry for her."

After letting out a cough, Sally said, "We may feel sorry for Kendall, but this is her own choice. I'm sure she has heard about the rumors regarding Dylan. She knows everything, yet she still wants to marry Dylan, so she's bound to be mentally prepared. We think that such a marriage would be unfortunate, but that's only what we think. I can see that Kendall and Dylan are in love with each other. Even if they aren't... They will still have a very good life together."

Nelson stopped talking. He sat down, picked up the bowl that was left before he finished eating, and violently dug into the chicken noodle soup with his spoon.

Looking at her son's behavior, Sally was startled. A thought suddenly struck her as her expression changed and she asked in a low voice, "Nelson, do you have feelings for… She is your sister!"

"Mom, she's not my sister. We have no blood ties whatsoever."

Sally smacked him on the shoulder and scolded, "Even if she's not your real sister, you have been siblings for more than twenty years. Get your head out of the gutter and don't hurt your relationship with her.”

Nelson swallowed his food, feeling it taste bitter in his mouth. He said morosely, "Mom, I didn't do anything. Kendall said that I will always be her big brother, so I will be her big brother for life."

Before Kendall turned twenty-five, the two thought they were biological brothers and sisters, so Nelson naturally didn't have any romantic feelings toward her.

It was after Kendall returned to her real family that Nelson began to have feelings for her, but fortunately, the feelings were only slight, and he was able to give it up quickly. He hadn't fallen for her that long ago, after all.

"You told Kendall?"

"Do you think I'm a fool, Mom? How could I say something like that to her?"

If he did, it would ruin their current relationship.

Sally breathed a sigh of relief. "This will stay between us only. Don't let anyone else know about this. After you go back, find yourself a woman and marry her."

"Mom, marriage is a major event in life. It can't be done rashly, and it has to be someone I like."

"Go on a blind date, at least. In short, before you get married, stay away from Kendall."

Nelson rolled his eyes. "Mom, I said that I've given up on my feelings and won't do anything to Kendall."

"You took Kendall out just now. When you brought her in, didn't you notice the look in Dylan's eyes when he was staring at your hands? Those eyes were very cold. If a person's looks could kill, I don't know how many times over he killed you with that look of his."

Nelson replied, "I was just taking my sister's hand. When I was a child, I even helped Kendall change her diapers, take a bath, and tuck her into bed."

"If you are real siblings, of course it's fine, but everything is different now. Moreover, Kendall is married, so you'd better take precautions. She's a frank girl, and she won't notice this nor think about it too much. However, Dylan is different. Even though I've lived for a long time, I still feel inferior to that man. He's a possessive person. Are you listening to everything I'm telling you? We are Kendall's maiden family, and we can only be that."

Nelson replied, "I did, Mom. I'm not a three-year-old child who can't view the current situation properly. Don't worry, as long as Kendall is happy, I will do what needs to be done."

He gave up, not only because Kendall always regarded him as a brother, but also because she had shown her love for Dylan in front of him.

Sally breathed a sigh of relief. "In the future, we will not go to the city. Kelly doesn't want us to disturb her life. She despises us for being poor, and I acknowledge that. She was raised so well by the Parker Family, and she should fly high in the city. As for Kendall, we can't disturb her life either. She and Kelly will fight in the end."

Sally saw through everything, and she refused to side with either one of them. After all, they were equally her daughters. If she helped her own biological daughter, she would break the heart of the daughter she raised with her own hands.

The only thing she could do was always welcome her two daughters back. No matter which one became homeless in the end, that daughter could come back to her. She was the last haven for both of them.

Of course, as a mother, Sally still hoped that her two daughters could coexist peacefully.

Thinking of her own daughter's temperament, Sally sighed in her heart. Coexist peacefully? It's just my wishful thinking as a mother.

"Mom, I want to come to the city to build my life."
