Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 505

Toddy's bitter heart was filled with regret because he swore that he would win Emma's heart again.

After the breakfast was warm, he naturally brought the breakfast to the sofa and put it on the coffee table.

"You have to wipe my table if you dirty it," Emma remarked coldly as she watched him.

"Of course," he said while sitting down. "I'll wipe it clean."

She pursed her lips at his reply but instead of saying anything else, she continued to nibble on her fruits as she watched the television.

On the other hand, Toddy had his eyes on her as he enjoyed his breakfast. His gaze dimmed when he caught sight of the new necklace she had on. Whomever it was that gave her that necklace had better not let me see his face. I'll end that mate poacher!

Despite his thoughts, he was showering Emma with words of compliment. "Emma, your breakfast is delicious. I missed this a lot."

She scoffed in reply. "Did the sun rise from the west today? You're praising my cooking! I used to prepare all sorts of food for you, but you threw them all away. You said you wouldn't touch the food I made you even if you starve to death. You also said that you would be a dog if you ever ate the breakfast that I prepared for you."

He fell silent for a second. Did I ever say that last thing?

"Woof! Woof!" He promptly started barking

"Emma, I'm a dog. I like the yummy breakfast you prepare. It's much better than instant noodles. I got up late today and I couldn't find any ingredients in my refrigerator. I only found a pack of instant noodles. I couldn't bring myself to eat anymore after only a few mouthfuls."

She was rendered speechless at that.

Ring-a-ling! Her phone started to ring right then.

Hearing that, she picked up her phone and looked at the caller ID, then got up and went to the balcony to answer the call so that Toddy couldn't overhear the conversation.

Toddy's ears perked up as he focused on the conversation between her and the caller. He didn't know who called her, but he could see her happily chatting with the other party and she even mentioned liking the gift and whatnot.

At that, Toddy finally came to a conclusion. It's the man pursuing Emma!

"Okay, I'll be on my way after I change my clothes. See you soon."

Emma hung up the phone swiftly after she said that. When she turned around to walk back into the living room, she was so startled when she almost bumped into Toddy that she took a few steps back.

"What are you doing, Mr. Heller?" she asked gingerly. "Why are you standing here like a ghost? You almost gave me a heart attack."

He didn't answer her and instead answered her question with another question. "Who called you?"

"A friend."

"A friend? What friend do you have?"

Toddy immediately regretted her words so much he wanted to bite his tongue off and kill himself. Why did I say that sh*t? "That's not what I mean, Emma. I—"

However, she interrupted, "Mr. Heller, I don't need to tell you whether or not I have friends. You can get out after you're done eating. I'm heading out soon."

Then, she coldly turned away and walked back into her room.

The man followed her after she said that. As much as Toddy wanted to explain himself, he didn't know what to say.

It was always Emma who was after him. Now that their roles were reversed, he didn't know what he should do to make her happy. I'll have to get President Coleman to teach me a thing or two about putting a lady in a better mood.

Bang! Emma slammed the door shut on Toddy.

Twenty minutes later, she had changed into a beautiful dress, her long locks flowing down her back. In addition to the new necklace she wore, she now had on a pair of earrings, two bracelets on her wrists, and an intricate purse. She put on a pair of high heels after she left the room.

She usually wore professional suits, but she now oozed a special charm when she was slightly dressed up in casual clothes.

Toddy had just finished eating breakfast and had put away the dishes and wiped the coffee table clean. Wanting to clean her dining table as well, he was still holding a rag when he saw her come out.

He immediately rushed over and asked, "Emma, are you going out now?"

"Mm." After Emma changed into her high heels, she coldly informed him, "You are done eating, aren't you? Please leave if you are. I am going to lock the door."

Toddy grunted as he stated, "Give me a second. I'll leave after I wash the rag."

She didn't bother replying as she walked to the remote control to turn the television off.

He cleaned the rag in no time.

As he shook his wet hands to dry them, he came out of the kitchen and soon reached out to help Emma carry her bag when he stood in front of her.

She reacted by swatting his hand away.

"Emma, let me hold it for you."

"No, thanks."

She swiftly turned around and stomped away with her bag, prompting Toddy to follow her.

However, it did surprise her when he so easily obeyed her. She thought that it would take her longer than just a minute to kick him out.

And so, the two of them went downstairs.

She didn't want to walk with him, but he kept his pace about the same as hers. He followed her all the way when she entered the elevator, went out of the elevator, and even when she headed for the staircase.

"Emma." Toddy suddenly grabbed her when she was about to part ways with him. Emma immediately shook him off then. Despite the rejection, he continued, "Let me send you, Emma."

He shuffled in front of her and tentatively offered again, "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

"Thanks, but it's alright. My ride's coming." Emma rejected his offer and impassively stated, "Please step aside, Mr. Heller."
