Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 287

Frank's regret was that he did not have the opportunity to hug the baby in his dream. In reality, he was determined to embrace his baby daughter, watch her grow into a young woman, and hear her sweet voice call him "Dad."

It would undoubtedly be a blessing. However, Kendall was already Dylan's wife by law, making it difficult for him to try to reclaim her.

Yasmine smiled. "It is easy for you to be a father, President Mendelson."

If he marries me, we can become parents next year.

He shook his head. No. It's hard.

Frank would have easily won her heart if Kendall hadn't been married to Dylan.

When Yasmine tried to persuade him on this topic twice, he remained silent. Frank was quiet for a moment as he stared at the finished painting of the little baby on which he had worked for several days.

It was his daughter's portrait.

"President Mendelson, what happened to the back of your hand?" She noticed the scar on the back of his hand. Although it had healed, it was obvious that he had been bitten.

He glanced at the back of his hand where Kendall had bitten him. It took quite some time to heal because Frank had not applied any medication. His eyes glistened with conflicting feelings as he recalled the incident that morning.

He was obsessed with Kendall, who hated him; he desired to love and pamper her but was forbidden to approach her without her consent.

He sighed. Kendall, just what shall I do with you?

Frank responded lightly, "It's nothing." He rolled up the drawing into a scroll while hiding the conflicting feelings in his heart.

"Joshua," he exclaimed. Immediately upon his command, a bodyguard in a dark blue suit entered.

"Yes, Mr. Mendelson," Joshua greeted him respectfully.

"Help me frame it and hang it over there," Frank said as he handed the portrait to Joshua.

He pointed to a prominent spot. When Kendall came and saw it hanging there one day, she would undoubtedly feel her heart softening. That was their child. He did not believe that she would be unaffected by it.

Kendall would have scolded him that he was are paranoid!

Frank only turned to face Yasmine when Joshua left with the drawing, as he was suddenly reminded of her presence. "Miss Zorn, you've come. Please take a seat."

He led her to the couch and gestured for her to sit before calling for someone to prepare refreshments.

Frank's alluring eyes glistened as he observed the gifts she had brought with her. Mockery flashed across his handsome face for a split second, but when she looked closer, he was utterly expressionless.

His mood swings are more severe than Young Master Dylan. She couldn't help but make comparisons between the two men.

"Miss Zorn, what's the meaning of these? Someone might think you're sending matrimonial gifts," Frank teased her.

Jasmine responded with a smile, "If I were to send matrimonial gifts, I'd make sure they were enough to fill your hall. I won't come alone. We'd have a big party with a lot of people to make you look good."

She continued before he could respond, "All jokes aside. President Mendelson, I'm waiting for you to send the matrimonial gifts."

How could Frank agree to marry into her family when he was the head of the Mendelson Family? It was an excellent thought if he was willing to marry her.

He smiled with a gentle chuckle, which Yasmine viewed as more of a mocking smile. "Miss Zorn, you are very persistent."

When Yasmine had a crush on Dylan, she tolerated his treatment of her. The same thing happened with Frank, who was now her new target.

Those men she had set her sights on turned out to be very unfortunate. How sincere could her feelings be if she was only interested in their social status?

"President Mendelson, I think there's a misunderstanding between Zorn Holdings and Mendelson Group." Yasmine did not forget about her brother's words.

"I'm in the mood for horseback riding, and I don't have a partner, so I'm wondering if you'd be willing to accompany me on a weekend horseback riding outing." Frank was able to successfully brush aside the earlier discussion.

"It'll be my pleasure," Yasmine replied with a smile that was gracefully reserved.

He rose from his seat. "Let's go then, shall we?"

"Now?" She was stunned for a moment before rising to her feet and instinctively following him outside.

Frank didn't respond to her and left the luxurious hall before his footsteps halted at the door. He gestured for the housekeeper and said, "Return all items brought by Miss Zorn back to Benjamin at their residence."

Yasmine was walking behind him and heard his words, which chilled her heart. She was shocked by how much Frank knew about everything.

He invites me to a weekend holiday but refuses my gifts. Why? According to Benjamin, there is a conflict between Zorn Holdings and Mendelson Group, and he desires a resolution. However, it appears that Frank has a different opinion. No wonder Benjamin wants me to win Frank's affections.

Relax Hotel was a twelve-story hotel on the horse farm. Despite its simple name, it provided the services of a five-star hotel.
