Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 248

Kelly quietly heaved a sigh, hoping that it was just a cold or some other illness.

Please don't let me be pregnant, she thought.

For me to get pregnant now… She wasn't even sure if she would be keeping the baby.

Tentatively, Kelly asked, 'Should we keep the baby if I really am pregnant?'

Jackson must have hesitated for a moment, as he took a long minute before he finally replied, 'It is the product of our love. Let's keep it if you are pregnant. I will definitely take responsibility for both of you.'

Kelly was slightly upset about his late reply. She had already typed out the message telling him that she wanted to abort it, but after thinking about it, she decided to delete the message.

The elevator door opened and her conversation with Jackson also came to a stop.

After returning to her own office, Kelly called Cameron into the room and told her to get her some cold medicine.

"Do you have a cold, Vice President Parker?" Cameron asked out of concern. "Do you want to get it checked at a hospital?"

"There's no need for that. I will be fine after having some medicine."

"Alright. I will head out to buy you some right now."

Worried about Kelly's health, Cameron immediately turned around and went out to get the medicine.

Kelly was going to ask Cameron to buy a pregnancy test kit, but she quickly gave up on the idea at the thought that Cameron wasn't the best keeper of secrets out there. She would have to go to a pharmacy far away from the company to buy a kit and get herself tested after work at noon.

In the president's office, Charlotte was full of smiles as she watched her daughter lap up the soup she brought. Adam, who was starting to get jealous at the scene, started to complain to his wife, "Darling, you only care about Kendall. You didn't even bring some for your own husband."

That instantly earned him a glare as Charlotte bit back, "You still want another one even though you and Kelly had some this morning? You might look like you are 6-months pregnant if you drink another bowl."

Upon hearing that, Adam lowered his head to look at his abdomen.

He did take care of his health and body, but it seemed like he really did have a belly.

Ah! I want to be the most handsome old boy there is. I can't have a beer belly!

It must be because he had been socializing and eating so much lately that his tummy expanded.

Seeing the look on his face as he dwelled in sadness made Kendall laugh. "You are not chubby, Daddy. You can burn off excess fat if you do some physical training."

"How am I supposed to believe you when you are saying I am not chubby and that I can burn off fat in the same sentence?"

Kendall giggled at that.

It just wasn't in her genes to put on weight.

'Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you…'

As soon as her phone rang, Adam and Charlotte gawked at each other as they seemed to realize something.

Kendall continued to ignore the couple looking at each other and quickly accepted the call. It was a call from Amelia.

She remembered how she told Amelia she would tell her about her love story with Dylan, but she had been so busy she hadn't fulfilled her promise.

As soon as she answered the phone, she didn't even wait for Amelia to speak as she hurriedly tried to suck up to her. "Amy!" She laughed. "I was about to call you to ask if you are free at noon to have lunch together, but you called before I did! No wonder we are besties! Our hearts are one."

"I am free anytime. You are the busy bee who only gets busier each day. You can't even do as you promised."

"Oh come one, I really am sorry. I forgot because it has been so hectic. I will make it up to you. Let's have lunch together for real, and go on a vacation to the horse farm with me tomorrow. Let me hear you laugh. Don't be mad, my little chunky monkey Amy."

Kendall's buttering up to Amelia made the latter laugh. "I am not holding you accountable or anything. I called to ask you out to lunch as well. Alright, then. Now go get busy. I will be out of your hair. See you at our spot."

"Alright, see you there. But you have to pick me up. I can't drive now."

Kendall had agreed to it when Dylan forbade her from driving.

After finishing the call, Kendall stuck out her tongue playfully when she saw her parents looking at her. She confessed, "I didn't do something I promised Amelia I would."

"Amelia will understand," Charlotte comforted her.

Even though there were many people in their circle who did not like Amelia, Charlotte was grateful for her because she was the one who really accepted Kendall.

Amelia had never once complained about how Kendall grew up in the countryside.

"Are you not coming home on the weekend? You are heading to a horse farm? Which one are you going to?"

Charlotte had thought that her daughter would be back to their home since it was the weekend.

"Sorry, Mommy. I have plans this weekend. Dylan said he will take me to their horse farm to ride a horse. He'll even invite his friends." In a way, he was officially bringing her into his world, and letting her get acquainted with his people.

Charlotte let out a sigh at that. "A married daughter is just like water that has been poured—she doesn't belong to her parents anymore. You have given your whole heart to your husband."

"I am sorry, Mommy." Kendall was also aware that she had been neglecting her birth mother these days. "I will definitely be home with you next weekend. Let's stay in and enjoy our mother-daughter time."

Adam chose that moment to chime in, "As her parents, we should be happy about the fact that she has a good relationship with Master Dylan. How come you are getting jealous over your son-in-law instead?

"Kendall, ignore Mommy. She always wants everyone's attention on her and her only."

Hearing that, Kendall hurriedly commented, "Daddy, don't say that about Mommy. She is only worried."
