Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 357

Dylan smiled, agreeing with Kendall's words. After their meals, both of their parents continued to happily chat with each other, although they no longer praised each other's children sky-high. On the other hand, Kelly's eyes suddenly brightened up as she continued to watch their pleasant chat because she finally thought of a way to ruin the Coleman Family's life. She then stood up and entered the washroom where she reached for her phone and called Jackson. As Jackson was probably not with Krystal at that moment, it didn't take him long to pick up Kelly's call.

"What's the matter, Kelly?" Jackson asked with a gentle voice. "Starting to miss me? I miss you too, but I really can't meet you right now. However, don't worry, I'll make time to meet you soon." Deep down, he was planning to spend some time with Kelly, his child's mother, after the wedding and his honeymoon trip.

"Come to my house right now, Jackson. You don't have to do anything. I just need you to come, but when you arrive, don't come inside. Just wait outside the door."

"Why?" Jackson asked in confusion. "Your parents know about us. So, are you sure your mom isn't going to greet me with a splash when I get there?"

"No, that won't happen. Because I'm home right now."

"You're home? Are you alright? Are you sick, my dear?" Jackson asked in a concerned manner.

"Nothing. Stop asking the questions and come here. Do as I said and wait outside my house. You don't have to do anything else. If you can't do something as simple as that, I'm going to head to the hospital now and abort the child." Kelly threatened Jackson to come over with their unborn child.

"Kelly," Jackson called out to Kelly. "Alright. Alright, I'm coming over now. Please don't be mad. Okay? It's bad for your health and our child's." Although he was forced by the circumstances they were in to keep his relationship with Kelly a secret, their child was his number-one priority.

In fact, he even secretly bought a lot of books to learn more about raising a child. Besides, he also liked to stick around at a children's toy store when he went shopping with Krystal. If it hadn't been his worry about Krystal's suspicion, he would have bought a lot of clothes and toys for his unborn child.

"Get over here then. I won't be angry once you are here."

Well, I think it's someone else who is going to be angry, actually. Thinking everyone in Orapolis knew how Kendall treated Jackson earlier, Kelly was counting on that to mislead Dylan's parents when they saw him standing outside the Parker Residence. Deep down, there was nothing that could make her happy other than destroying Kendall's life. In fact, when Charlotte was busy combing Kendall's hair, Kelly was peeking outside the room where she saw her pulling a few strands of hair from Kendall's scalp.

When she saw that, she knew her words had gotten into Charlotte's head and was sure she was about to run a DNA paternity test with those hair.
Dylan smiled, agreeing with Kendall's words. After their meals, both of their parents continued to happily chat with each other, although they no longer praised each other's children sky-high. On the other hand, Kelly's eyes suddenly brightened up as she continued to watch their pleasant chat because she finally thought of a way to ruin the Coleman Family's life. She then stood up and entered the washroom where she reached for her phone and called Jackson. As Jackson was probably not with Krystal at that moment, it didn't take him long to pick up Kelly's call.

After hanging up the call, Kelly put her phone back into her pocket and walked toward the basin. She then turned on the tap and washed her hands, staring at herself in the mirror while laughing all of a sudden. At the same time, she was planning to send someone to keep an eye on Charlotte when she took Kendall's hair for the DNA paternity test. If the test result proved that Charlotte and Kendall were not related, she wouldn't have to do anything; but if it was the other way round, she would be sure to alter the result. At the thought of that, Kelly's mood seemed to improve.

While Kelly stepped out of the washroom, Kendall noticed her and somehow paid extra attention to her, finding her a little too quiet than usual. However, she quickly dismissed her doubt, thinking Kelly was just quiet because she was usually so intimidated by Dylan's presence that she would shiver.

On the other hand, Dylan and Kendall's parents went on to chat for a while more until Emily secretly nudged her husband to remind him that it was time for them to leave. Thus, Fergus pretended to look at the time, realizing it was about 3.00PM in the afternoon. "Mr. Parker." Fergus smiled at Adam and said, "It's getting late now, and I think we should go."

After all, Tilly was still waiting for Fergus' update about Dylan's wedding. When she first knew that her grandson had a healthy body just like a normal man did, she was especially happy but also annoyed that Kendall was the one Dylan was going to marry. If the circumstances had been different, she would have spread the word out to get a woman whom she thought was tenfold better than Kendall for Dylan. After all, she reckoned the Coleman Family would definitely be approached by many women from wealthy families, thinking most of them were tempted to marry Dylan. Nevertheless, Tilly appeared to change her mind after listening to Mary's word of advice, wondering whether she should embrace her fate like the latter told her. "Is that really my grandson's destiny?" The old lady let out a sigh with the subsequent events remaining a mystery.

"Why don't you join us for dinner before you go?" Adam and his wife cordially suggested that they join them for dinner.

While Fergus turned down the offer, Charlotte quickly returned the favor by giving them some gifts she had prepared earlier after realizing there was no chance that Dylan's parents were going to stay. On the other hand, the Coleman Family didn't reject Charlotte, knowing that she was just being courteous and kind.

"Mom, Dad, you guys can go without me. I'd like to stick around for dinner with Charlotte before I go home." Since Kendall still didn't want to leave yet, Dylan decided to stay with her to protect her from being lectured by his mother.

As Emily wanted to say something more, Fergus beat her to it and replied, "Alright, we'll see you all later then. Let's go, Emily." Since Kendall's foster parents were present, Fergus could empathize with his daughter-in-law for wanting to stay longer with them. Therefore, they smiled and walked out of the house as Adam and Charlotte saw them out the door. The moment they exited the house, they were greeted by the sight of a car parked just outside the mansion where a man appeared to be leaning on the vehicle. While the members of the Coleman Family failed to recognize who that was, Adam and Charlotte immediately identified that man.
