Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 392

Chapter 392

Emily and Fergus were pleasantly having breakfast in the dining room when Kendall arrived at the main house. When Tia told everyone that Kendall had arrived, Tilly asked impassively, "What is she doing here instead of attending to Dylan?"

Recalling the smart move Kendall had made yesterday, Emily didn't say anything, deciding to continue to wait and see how the former would grow.

On the other hand, Alice hastily ate her breakfast, saying, "Kendall must be here to look for me. I promised Dylan to go shopping with her today."

"Ally, don't talk while you're eating," Tilly chided her in a soft voice.

Alice fell silent.

Kendall came in with the serving tray. "Good morning, Grandma, Mrs. Morris, Dad, and Mom," she said, greeting the elders at the dining table. After the elders greeted her in return, she waited until Tilly asked her about it before explaining her purpose in coming here. Then, she brought the three bowls of tonic soup in front of Tilly, Mary, and Emily respectively.

Fergus joked, "Kendall, you're playing favorites. Why isn't there soup for me?"

Kendall replied with a chuckle, "Sorry, it's my mistake. The soup today serves to improve one's complexion and is good for women, so I didn't think of you."

Fergus replied, "A soup that's good for women? Good that you didn't think of me, then. I am a man, so I don't need this kind of soup, but your mom likes it very much. See how she looks like she's still in her early thirties despite approaching 60? That's the effect of eating beauty soup as much as drinking plain water." Of course, he was purposely putting in a good word for Kendall. Emily was well-preserved, but it wasn't solely because of her habit of eating beauty soup. "The same goes for your grandma. Other people would lose all their teeth and have gray hair and deeply wrinkled faces at her age, but your grandma can be called the youngest grandmother in history. She looks like a middle-aged woman, which is also the effect of eating plenty of beauty soup."

Mary chimed in, "I also have beauty soup every day." After becoming the first to have a taste of the soup Kendall had brought over, she praised, "It tastes good. Kendall, did you make this yourself? It's nice and tastes pretty good. It's comparable to the soup made by the soup chef of your family."

"You flatter me, Mrs. Morris."

Tilly curled her lips, saying, "Does it taste that good?" She tasted the soup, too. In the end, she didn't say it tasted good, but she didn't say she disliked it either.


Emily was the last to taste the soup.

Alice winked at Kendall.

Kendall smiled to herself in secret. Dad is a nice guy who's good at making the atmosphere less awkward.

Despite forbidding her granddaughter to talk while eating, Tilly herself wasn't restricted by the rule. "Have you eaten?" she asked Kendall gently. Then, she added, "Where is Dylan? Why isn't he coming with you?"

"Master Dylan has left home, saying that he has something to deal with this morning."

"Oh," Tilly replied.

"I haven't had breakfast yet," Kendall replied honestly.

"Tia." With just one word from Tilly, Tia immediately set the table for Kendall.

Of course, the tonic soup did little to change Tilly and Emily's opinion of Kendall. It was just that they unanimously refrained from giving Kendall a hard time in Mary and Fergus' presence.

After they finished having breakfast, Emily asked Kendall, "Are you and Ally going shopping?"

"Yeah, we're hanging out. Mom, would you like to go with us?"

Emily didn't expect Kendall to invite her. After pondering for a moment, she decided not to refuse, saying, "Okay, I'll go hang out with you two then. As it happens, I'd also like to go out for a walk."

Subsequently, Kendall got to go out with Emily for the first time. Still, she had to take a trip to the hospital to bring Sally soup and express her 'concern' for Kelly while she was at it.

Emily wasn't angry about that, though. She merely said, "Ally and I will be waiting for you on Wealthy Luck Street, so don't stay too long at the hospital. You just have to check the results."

Kendall smiled sweetly with a flicker in her beautiful eyes. She replied, "As you wish, Mom."

Emily pursed her lips.

After Kendall left in her car, Alice asked Emily curiously, "Mom, what were you and Kendall talking about?"

Emily replied, "What could she and I be talking about? Do you think that I've accepted her now because I'm not fussing? Don't talk like she and I are very close." The moment the incident about Kelly broke out, she knew that it was Kendall's doing. Of course, she had to help her daughter-in-law keep it a secret. Deep down, however, she felt that Kendall was also a ruthless person. Kelly would come under attack from all sides because of the incident.

"You're just someone whose bark is worse than your bite, Mom. I know that you love Dylan the most. Whatever he likes, you'll end up liking it, too."

Emily lightly poked Alice in the forehead. "I love you as well as your siblings."
