Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 276

"Miss Evans, please pass me Young Mistress Kendall's clothes. Let's not keep her waiting."

Faced with Ronnie's insistence, Laura had no choice but to turn around, open the car door, and take the two sets of clothes out. After a brief hesitation, she handed them to Ronnie.

"I'll leave them with you then, Ronnie. Please hand them to your Young Mistress Kendall."

Ronnie took the bag which contained the clothes and said, "Since the clothes have been delivered, perhaps you should go back now, Miss Evans."

Laura, however, didn't budge an inch. "Ronnie, is your Young Master going on a holiday today?" she asked, a smile on her face that had delicate makeup.

The man's eyes dimmed when he heard her question. In a cold tone, he asked, "From whom did you hear this?"

"I heard it from Ally when she brought Miss Morris to my place for their gowns," Laura quickly explained.

By mentioning Alice on purpose, Laura was in fact reminding Ronnie that she was close to Alice.

"That is true, right, Ronnie?"

Ronnie went silent for a few moments before he countered, "What could you do, Miss Evans, even if it's true?"

Laura nearly choked when she heard that.

He was right. What could she possibly do? Would she be so bold as to shamelessly follow them?

She did not have the courage to do so without Dylan's invitation.

"Miss Evans, our Young Mistress Kendall likes having things to herself." After that, Ronnie added, "I've to bring the clothes in now. Please excuse me for not sending you off, Miss Evans."

He then turned around and entered the mansion with the clothes in his hands.

It wasn't his concern if Laura left or not. She could remain standing there for as long as she pleased, but he was not going to let her have any information about Dylan.

Meanwhile, Kendall was staring at Dylan after Ronnie had gone to get the clothes.

When Dylan noticed his lovely wife was staring at him, he poked her on the forehead and said, "Have you finished your meal? Why are you staring at me this way?"

"Miss Evans has arrived; I remember you being quite close to her. Why don't we invite her in for a cup of tea?"

"I have no time for her," Dylan replied indifferently. "Do you really want me to invite her in?"

Kendall laughed in response. "That's entirely up to you; I'm not going to interfere. I won't mind as long as your friendship with her is pure."

"Do you believe in pure friendship between a man and a woman?"

Without waiting for Kendall to respond, he continued, "I didn't care about how she felt toward me in the past because you were not in my life yet, and I suffered no loss as well. But now that I have you, I regard her as just a person who makes you clothes."

Kendall smiled even wider when she heard that.

Laura was Dylan's confidante, but ever since Kendall appeared, he had distanced himself from Laura, viewing her as merely someone who made clothes for Kendall.

If Kendall decided not to wear Laura's clothes one day, Laura might never see Dylan again.

"Come on; let's eat. We'll leave after a short rest later before we leave."

"Sure."

At this point of time, Ronnie came in, bringing the clothes with him.

He then handed the bag to Kendall.

Kendall took it over and was about to check the clothes, but Dylan interrupted, "Check on them later."

"Okay. I'll listen to you."

Kendall was now as docile to Dylan as a sheep.

It was such a rare occurrence that all of the bodyguards subconsciously imitated her. I'll listen to you.

Meanwhile, Emma was waiting for Toddy outside the villa. In her hands were several disposable boxes containing breakfast she had prepared. Breakfast of the day was scones and bread that she made herself in order to pack easily.

There were even several flavors of bread prepared. There was no doubt that she had a flair for baking pastries.

All of Emma's friends told her that she could easily open a pastry shop if she decided to leave Coleman Empire Holdings one day. With her skills, her business would certainly thrive.

But she had no plans to resign at the moment. Though the career progression in Coleman Empire Holdings was promising, the path to the top levels of the organization was tough. The competition was intense as everyone in the companies were elites.

Her current position as President Coleman's secretary, as well as having her abilities recognised by him, were all earned through trials and tribulations. Furthermore, she was pleased with her remuneration.

Thus, she would not leave Coleman Empire Holdings, unless and until she had given up hopes on Toddy.

After all, the only way to make her feel better if that happened was to stay away from him.

After a short while, Toddy's car appeared in her sight.

Toddy, too, noticed her as soon as he left the villa.

Emma was dressed in a plain creamy white dress. With her tall and slim figure, a simple dress like this appeared to be an elegant gown.

On her back was a small black backpack with some patterns, and a cute little white rabbit keychain hung on top of the backpack.

She was carrying a bag containing several disposable boxes.

Is that the breakfast she bought for herself, or is she packing breakfast for someone else?

His gaze dimmed when he recalled the bouquet of flowers she had received the day before. At the same time, he subconsciously drove to where she was at and pulled over in front of her.
