Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 347

"Mom, I like Kendall. I have never regretted marrying her. Being with her makes me feel very relaxed and happy. I also know that you really love me and hope I can be happy. Mom, Kendall is the source of my happiness!"

Emily looked at her son, who apologized to her. The expression on his face was gentle, but his tone was firm when he spoke.

He said that Kendall was the source of his happiness. If she broke him and Kendall up, it would be like destroying his happiness.

If, as a mother, she destroyed her son's happiness, it meant that she just didn't want her son to be happy. Emily felt heartbroken no matter how she thought about it.

Of course, she wanted her children to be happy. But facing a daughter-in-law whom she disliked and looked down on, Emily felt that life had become difficult.

"Dylan..." Emily took a long time to speak, and her voice trembled a little. But she only called out to her son and didn't say any more. At that moment, she didn't know what to say or what she could say.

Talking badly about Kendall would further arouse the conflict between mother and son. Yet she couldn't say good things about Kendall against her belief.

Fergus patted his son on the shoulder and whispered, "Dylan, it's time for you to go to rehab. I'll ask Ronnie to take you back for rehab."

"Okay," Dylan responded gently.

He knew that some words were better discussed in private by his parents.

He, after all, was just their son.

Ronnie quickly came to push Dylan away from the gazebo.

Looking at his son, who went far away, Fergus asked his wife, "Emily, do you prefer watching your son walk or sit in a wheelchair and be pushed around?"

"Of course I want him to walk again. After Dylan's accident, when I knew that his legs were disabled and he needed a wheelchair, it felt as painful as cutting off my own limbs. I didn't even know how many times I cried when I hid it from him."

Emily's heart hurt as if it was gouged out by a knife, especially when her son's usually cold temperament became more ruthless.

"Dylan is working hard on rehabilitation now. He hopes to hold a wedding this year. But, he doesn't want to hold a wedding with Kendall in a wheelchair. Emily, Kendall has a positive influence on Dylan, and you can see it too. They're developing in a good direction.”

Emily pouted and demanded, "What did you two talk about just now to make you side him?"

"He didn't ask me to do this. I just think that we as parents should not hold our kids back when they grow up. We should let them go completely, and they can do whatever they want. They can marry whomever they want to marry. Dylan has never been under our control, anyway. Before, when he was still young, we couldn't control him. Now, we can't control him either."

Emily pursed her lips and explained, "I'm not controlling him. I'm just showing my own preferences. Can he force me to like someone I don't like?" To make her point clear, she added, "You don't have to say good things on Kendall's behalf. If I hate someone, no matter how good they are, I will still hate her."

After a pause, she said, "I've already tolerated her very much. I let go of the private detective I hired after he followed her for a day. Even knowing that she was entangled with Frank, I didn't settle accounts with her. That's a lot of compassion. You can't ask me, as a mother-in-law, to bear with her in everything, right? She's not much better as a daughter-in-law, either. She leaves early and returns late every day, and she never comes to chat with me at all. She doesn't take the initiative to please me, yet you want me to please her? She's not my only daughter-in-law."

Fergus smiled. "Yes, yes, Kendall is also a little wrong, but she is swamped. She rarely has time to go back to her parents' house, and she has to take care of our son too. Since we are idle at home, we should be more tolerant of young people. When I was really busy before, we too couldn't see each other much every day either."

Emily said angrily, "Whenever I find a minor fault in her, you guys can think of countless excuses for her."

"It's a fact."

"I know it's a fact. If she is a good woman, she should stay at home. She can obviously live a good life by staying at home. Yet, she has to go to work and deal with the company by herself. Isn't that asking for trouble?"

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Besides, her family only has one child. How can Kendall take care of the Parker Family's assets if she doesn't work hard?"

Fergus was really a good father-in-law who spoke well of his daughter-in-law all the time.

"Do you honestly want the Parker Family's assets to be inherited by Kelly instead?"

Emily immediately said, "Kendall is the biological daughter of the Parker Family, and it is only natural for her to inherit the family property. Kelly has taken Kendall's resources for so many years. She should know her place instead of putting her fingers in the family assets. How shameless is she? She should dream on!"

Not liking her daughter-in-law was one thing, but her daughter-in-law being bullied by outsiders was another thing.

Fergus smiled and said, "That's right. Since Kendall wants to inherit the family assets, she has to work hard. If she doesn't work hard to keep the billions of assets within the Parker Family, Kelly will take it all away. Therefore, we have to be tolerant of Kendall's busy schedule."

Emily fell silent.
