Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 507

Roger turned bright red when he saw Kendall's shocked expression.

He knew that Emma was his brother-in-law's secretary. Someone who could become Dylan's secretary had to be incredibly competent at her job and would surely be earning a high salary too.

As for why someone with a high salary like Emma relied on public transportation instead, it was because she avoided buying a car so that she could get rides from Toddy.

Roger knew that an accomplished young woman like her might not be interested in a guy like him.

However, at twenty-eight years old, this was the first time he felt so attracted to a girl and he wanted to give it a try.

If he didn't, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Even if Emma didn't return his feelings, at the very least, he gave it a shot and tried his best. That was enough to leave him without regrets.

"Are you serious, Roger?"

Kendall was somewhat at a loss right now.

Initially, she considered introducing Emma to Nelson, but before Nelson could even meet her, Roger had fallen in love with her at first sight.

Kendall understood her brother well.

Since he had fallen in love at first sight, he was bound to try and woo Emma.

Although Emma claimed to have given up on Toddy, who knew if she had any lingering feelings for him deep down inside her heart? After all, she had been in love with him for so many years now.

Was it possible to lose all those years of feelings in the blink of an eye?

Roger was free to try and win Emma over, but he would have to be up against Toddy. Kendall wasn't one to put a damper on someone else's spirits, but there was no way to sugarcoat it. Toddy had a lot more to offer than Roger.

More importantly, Emma had been in love with Toddy for so many years.

Kendall felt that Toddy had the advantage in every way.

Toddy had realized his feelings for Emma and was trying to win her back. If Emma hadn't truly given up on Toddy, then Roger was very likely to get hurt.

Kendall didn't want her brother to get hurt.

"Kendall, I meant every word I said. My heart started beating a lot faster the moment I laid eyes on Miss Finley. I couldn't take my eyes off her. I wished I could stay right by her side. These are all signs of my attraction toward her. I fell in love with Miss Finley at first sight."

Now that Roger told Kendall everything, he no longer felt shy. "Kendall, why are you reacting like that? Is it because Miss Finley has a boyfriend? If she does, then, well, I won't bother her."

However, he would still pay attention to the goings-on in Emma's life.

He might one day have a chance if Emma broke up with her boyfriend.

"Roger, Emma doesn't have a boyfriend yet, but just two months ago, she was still deeply in love with Toddy Heller, Dylan's assistant. Dylan trusts Toddy a lot. He's Dylan's right-hand man, which makes him the second-in-command at Coleman Empire Holdings. Although Emma said she has given up on Toddy, it's still unlikely for her to have let go of years and years of love in just two months. Not to mention the fact that Toddy realized he has fallen in love with Emma and is planning to try and woo her.

"Roger, you're a great guy, but we still need to be realistic. You're a great guy, but there are other great guys out there, perhaps even greater ones. You get what I mean, right?"

Kendall hoped that Roger would give up instead of launching himself straight into the love triangle with them, lest he ended up battered and bruised.

Roger remained quiet for a while.

However, he soon replied in a determined tone, "Kendall, regardless of whether Miss Finley has let go of her feelings for Mr. Heller or not, I still want to give it a try. Can you give me Miss Finley's number? I don't expect you to help me with anything. I'll rely on my own best efforts to win her heart."

The best-case scenario was that he would succeed in wooing Emma. If not, then it meant that he and Emma weren't meant for each other.

"Well, since you've decided, you have my full moral support, Roger. Love is something between two people. I won't get involved in your relationship with Emma."

Since Roger had made up his mind, Kendall could only support him.

She gave Emma's number to him. "You can add her on WhatsApp and talk to her. Get to know her better first so it won't be awkward when you meet in person."

"I want to be more forward with my actions. As you said, Miss Finley was in love with Mr. Heller and they're working in the same company now, which means they see each other all the time. I'm already at a disadvantage, so if I start by talking to her on WhatsApp, I'm going to suffer a crushing defeat."

Kendall had nothing to say to that. "Good luck, Roger!"

Roger chuckled. "I'll take Mom and Dad home now. You should visit Nell tomorrow. He keeps asking about you, so much so that lying has become second nature to us now."

He had always been an honest man, but for Nelson's sake, he was forced to learn how to keep a straight face even when he was lying through his teeth.

"Yeah. Dylan and I will go over tomorrow."

Kendall wasn't going to bring Emma along since Roger had fallen in love with Emma.

She wasn't about to introduce Emma to Nelson when she knew about Roger's feelings for Emma.

Kendall had a lot of things to do tomorrow.

She decided to visit Nelson at the hospital first before heading over to Mendelson Residence to get even with Frank. After all, he roughed up her man, so even if she couldn't hold her own against him, she was still going over to show her stance.
