Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 292

Chapter 292

Soon enough, Dylan came to stand behind Kendall as he took the comb from her hands to personally groom her hair.

"Put on your bedroom flip-flops before you get out. The floor's cold."

"Sure, Mother Coleman."

Dylan hit her scalp gently with the comb. "I'm a man."

"There are plenty of women out there who would give anything to have a conversation with me. Meanwhile, you're finding me too naggy for your taste, are you?"

In response, Kendall stuck out her tongue playfully. "So, I'm an ungrateful little brat then?"

He nodded solemnly. "Yes, you are."

Subsequently, she revealed a peal of laughter.

"Were you just complaining about me with your mom when I walked into the room?"

"No, I wasn't. I wouldn't dare to complain about you in front of my mom. Both my Moms—yes, both—regard you as even more important than me. I'm their daughter and yet they pay heed to your words more than mine! If I actually did complain about you in front of them, I'm sure that they would give me a scolding." I seriously wonder which one of us is their child!

"They both know that I have your best interest at heart."

"Well, I don't mind it at all. I'm just happy that they are fond of you."

Both of her moms were much nicer than her mother-in-law and it did not take them too long to accept Dylan.

On the other hand, Kendall's mother-in-law had yet to accept Kendall as her daughter-in-law even up till now. It was quite odd though, because the Colemans were the ones to seek her hand in marriage from the Parker Family. However, now that she had actually married Dylan, both Tilly and Emily were significantly displeased with her.

So… It's okay when they ask for my hand in marriage, but it's not when I voluntarily marry him? Well, I guess it's true that it's human nature to not appreciate things that we attain so easily. Had it been the case where they paid a hefty amount for my betrothal gift and went through hurdles just to marry Dylan off, the tables might have turned today.

Kendall was significantly speechless at the moment. "Dylan, do you reckon that I was a shameless wench when I forced you to marry me in the past?"

"I was merely impressed by you back then. The minute before that, you were threatening suicide in objection to the marriage. Then, you clung to me so tightly and kissed me with such ferocity as you forced me to take responsibility for you."

"But Kendall, none of that makes you a shameless wench and I don't wanna hear that term ever again."

"I bit you once, that's all! I didn't kiss you with ferocity."


"Would you like to have another attempt?"

At that point, she was speechless. "Dylan, I think you must be trying to seduce me. I'm not firm in my resolve, so please don't seduce me. I can't quite contain my urges at the moment, so if you even gesture at me with your finger to move closer, I might not want to head downstairs anymore."

Dylan hit her gently on the head with the comb once again.

"Kendall, you're such a succubus!"

"Yes, I am. I'm fixated on devouring you. You're my elixir to immortality. Haha."

The man found himself at a loss for what to do with this thick-skinned woman.

"Dylan, let's have dinner at the buffet restaurant on the first floor tonight, alright?"

Without agreeing immediately, he mentioned, "Ally and the others wanted a barbecue and Robert has given instructions for his men to prepare the ingredients."

"Oh, okay! I want to join their barbecue too. It's more fun when we're with a group."

Dylan laughed at that. "I knew you would choose barbecue. I've married a glutton. It's fortunate that I earn plenty and I can keep up with your spending."

"I can earn my keep too! Dylan, from now on, I'll give you some pocket money every month as well," responded Kendall.

"Oh. Ever since I turned eighteen, I have never received any pocket money, so I do reminisce about the time when I received money without having to lift a finger."

"I'll give you my monthly wages as your pocket money. I'll find some other means to earn more money. I can't possibly allow my man to be deprived of money."

He went along with her words quite solemnly. "Sure, I'll wait patiently for my wife to drop money onto my lap then."

"Dylan." She maintained an intent look in her eyes too.

As soon as he turned to look at her with an intense stare, she stated, "I think we're both quite childish! Hahahaha!"

He helped her pull her hair into a ponytail as he responded affectionately, "I'll always go along with you regardless of anything."

"Well, tonight, I wanna…"

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

Kendall's sentence was interrupted by her ringtone.

She took her phone in her hands and realized that it was an unfamiliar landline number.

"Dylan, where is this landline number calling from?"

The first few digits represented the district and she was unclear which area it was. She could only remember the area code to several important large cities but not the rest.

"It's from Eastfort," Dylan responded nonchalantly.

A call from Eastfort?

"It must be Scott, then!" Kendall happily answered the phone call from Eastfort.

Meanwhile, Dylan's expression darkened upon noticing her excited look. Still, he kept his silence.

After all, Scott was just a three-year-old child and he should not be jealous of a kid.

"Lady Parker." Scott's childlike voice rang out from the phone and Kendall beamed widely upon hearing that.

Scott had an adorable childish voice and she enjoyed listening to him speak.

"Scott." With a smile, she called out for him.

"Lady Parker, I miss you so much."
