Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 409

As soon as he saw Vivian, Dylan turned gloomy. Then, he glared at her with a sharp look.

If looks could kill, Vivian would be dead by now. However, she couldn't back down and had to say respectfully, "Young Master Dylan, Old Madam Coleman wants to meet Young Mistress Kendall."

Am I able to take Young Mistress Kendall with me?

"Scram!" Dylan coldly growled out a word.

Upon hearing that, Vivian left right away.

Anyway, I have delivered the words. I've failed to bring Young Mistress Kendall over because Young Master Dylan is furious. I cannot rebel against Old Madam Coleman or resist Young Master Dylan, can I?

"Come back!" Dylan yelled again.

Vivian quickly turned back with a respectful expression.

"Young Master Dylan?"

"Go back and tell Old Madam Coleman if she needs something from us, wait until the morning. Don't spoil my mood by sending people to hold us up at the entrance."

Then, Vivian said respectfully, "I will convey your message to Old Madam Coleman."

In fact, she had been waiting for a long time. It was Dylan and Kendall who came back too late.

"Dylan." Kendall stroked Dylan's eyebrows. "Grandma must have something important to tell me. I should visit her."

Although she was tempted not to go and was not in the mood to do that either, Kendall suppressed her feelings and would go with Vivian just for Dylan. This was to prevent Dylan from becoming an enemy of his family because he protected her.

Later on, she knew she had to keep calm, whether Tilly would belittle or scold her.

"I'll accompany you there."

"There's no need for that." Kendall stopped Dylan from doing so. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Then, she kissed his face soothingly and said, "When the kitchen brings over the supper, you can eat it first. You don't have to wait for me."

"I can't eat well by myself. You must be with me."

He would get an appetite after he watched her relish the food, and he would even try the food that he initially disliked.

"Okay. I'll be back as soon as possible."

Kendall intertwined her fingers with his, then withdrew it. She turned around to follow Vivian.

After walking away, Vivian thanked Kendall.

Kendall was baffled by Vivian's thanks.

"Only you can appease Young Master Dylan's violent temper. Otherwise, he would have me tossed aside long ago. I must thank you for willing to meet Old Madam Coleman so that I can complete my task and not be blamed by her."

Kendall smiled, understanding Vivian's difficulties.

Tilly and Dylan were both stubborn. If they fought with each other, everyone around them would suffer.

"I remember Tia said Old Madam Coleman had already fallen asleep at this hour."

"She has something to tell you, so she should still be waiting for you." After a pause, Vivian said in a low voice, "Young Mistress Kendall, I think she wants to meet you because of your quarrel with Young Master Dylan and leaving home this afternoon."

Kendall was stunned. "Quarrel? Run away from home?"

Dylan and me? With Dylan's domineering nature, if we really quarreled, he would only take me on the bed and I would never have the chance to run away from home.

"Although Old Madam Coleman looks like she doesn't care about matters of the house, she still has the power to manage the affairs of her family." Vivian then whispered, "She attaches great importance to Young Master Dylan and pays attention to the rules, so she couldn't bear that Dylan had to chase after you. She thinks you did not forgive Young Master Dylan in a quarrel and ran away from home. You should just listen to what Old Madam Coleman has to say. Please try not to talk back."

Vivian was trying to help Kendall. She had conveyed messages to Kendall for a long time, so she sort of knew Kendall well and quite pitied the young woman.

It is hard for a young daughter-in-law who is not welcomed by every cruel elder in residence. Granted, Young Master Dylan will protect her. However, everyone looks for trouble with Young Mistress Kendall from time to time. She must be feeling annoyed.

Kendall did not know what to say to that.

I didn't quarrel with Dylan. I won't run away from home because of a quarrel too. Still, I didn't expect that Dylan chasing after me because of Nelson's incident would cause a misunderstanding among the residents.

After a moment, Kendall asked Vivian shyly, "Could it be that those wives have to give way to their husbands when they quarrel?"

What kind of stupid rule is it?! Wait a second. I remember that when my in-laws got along, Grandpa always gave in to Grandma.

Vivian spoke softly, afraid someone would hear her talk about the host family's private affair. She would lose her job if someone complained about her to the host family.

"As long as Old Madam Coleman doesn't know about it, she wouldn't mind. However, if she did, she would definitely help her son."

To Tilly, the daughter-in-law was someone else's daughter and not hers by birth, so she would rightly favor her birth child.

Kendall had learned that Tilly was biased and paid attention to rules.

When Kendall met Tilly for the first time, Kendall knew that the old lady who looked kind could never be as benevolent as she appeared to be. Otherwise, she would not be able to educate a grandson like Dylan.

Dylan was trained by his grandparents, so his behavior was a mixture of the grandparents.

Looking at Dylan, one could judge Tilly's true character.

After a slight pause, Kendall answered, "Okay."

It was easier said than done to not help the family.

It was understandable for Tilly that she helped her son instead of her daughter-in-law.
