Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 598

The following day, Kendall found Scott in her living room bright and early.

"Miss Parker!" The little boy hurriedly slid down from the couch and trotted toward Kendall. She squatted down in surprise and hugged Scott, with whom she hit off right off the bat. "Scott, you guys are back!"

Dylan came out after Kendall, and when he saw the scene before his eyes, he wished to yank the boy away from his wife's embrace. Of course, he just wished to. He wouldn't actually fight a toddler.

After all, it would mean Kendall was good with kids if they loved her.

"I've missed you so much, Miss Parker."

"Is that true? You had so much fun on your vacation with your parents that you haven't called me in days, yet you claim to have missed me."

To that, Scott reasoned, "It's because I can't call you that I miss you so much, Miss Parker! I wouldn't have missed you so badly if I could call you every day and hear your voice."

Kendall poked the little guy's forehead lightly and said, "You cheeky little guy. I bet you'll have your way with the ladies when you grow up."

Scott giggled in response.

At that, she carried him and walked toward the Ford couple, who stood up and greeted them with a smile, "Master Dylan, Kendall."

"Sorry for bothering you two early in the morning," Margaret apologized.

"Don't worry about it. Dylan and I were already up, so we're heading out soon. How was your vacation? You guys had fun, right? You have no idea how envious I am of your family of three."

The Colemans had a ton of private properties, so there were many destinations they could travel to as well. That said, Dylan's legs only recovered recently, so she and Dylan had yet to take a vacation at the Colemans' private island.

At that, Margaret took a gander at Dylan and said with a smile, "Master Dylan can go anywhere at any time now. You don't have to be envious of us. He will certainly arrange a vacation for you two. If anything, you two make everyone jealous."

After all, it was just Kendall and Dylan. She and Eric, on the other hand, had a little one. Of course, she was still happy, but taking a mischievous and active bundle of joy with them also meant that they had to spend a lot of energy entertaining him—it wasn't as easy as if it was just her and Eric.

That said, Margaret wouldn't want it any other way.

She had sacrificed her life so that their little Scott could be okay. Nothing in this world would be enough to make up for that.

Kendall smiled in response. With our little one in my belly now, and given how anxious Dylan is about it, a getaway will certainly be a no-no. I can probably only go on a vacation after I give birth.

Besides, they had a wedding to deal with.

For the last few days, Tilly had put on her reading glasses, looking for the perfect dates. First, they needed the right date to send the betrothal gifts over to the Parker Residence, then they had to set the engagement date. However, that wasn't all; the dates Tilly picked out had to be brought to a church the elder believed to be very efficacious, then the high priest would see which date was the best to hold the wedding.

Plus, Kendall also promised her father that she'd stay over at her parents' place for the weekend.

Many times, Kendall thought she had become very busy after coming back to life and successfully clinging onto her backer. She had to get revenge, flirt with her backer, and also study, to name a few.

"We've actually come to say goodbye. It's time we head back after having been in Orapolis for so long," said Margaret as she sat down with Kendall on the couch.

After hearing his mother's words, Scott couldn't help wrapping his little arms around Kendall's neck as he said with reluctance, "I have to go back to school now, Miss Parker."

"You can still ask your parents to bring you here on the weekends or during the holidays," said Kendall with a smile.

However, the little boy only pouted silently. Daddy's very busy with work, and ever since Mommy woke up, Daddy has to spend time with Mommy as well. Nowadays, nothing I say goes anymore.

To that, Eric would cajole him, saying the reason he would take time to spend with Margaret was that they wanted to give him a baby sister.

Scott wanted a baby sister too. He wanted a pretty, adorable sister who was just as lovable as him.

"Do you have a girl in your belly, Miss Parker?" Scott asked out of the blue, leading Kendall to look at him in surprise.

Meanwhile, Dylan's eyes twinkled despite his expressionless face.

"Why would you ask that so suddenly?" Kendall asked with amusement. She once heard that kids had very strong perceptions. Can this little one sense it too?

"I like girls. Your girl will be very cute."

At that, she smiled. "If I do give birth to a girl, you have to treat her nicely."

"Of course!" Scott promised heroically. If Miss Parker gives birth to a girl, I'll become her big brother, and a big brother has to look after his sister!

"Kendall, are you really pregnant?!" Margaret asked in surprise.

"Kendall, are you really pregnant?!" Margaret asked in surprise.

The Fords weren't locals, and their lips were tight, so Kendall didn't hide the news from them. "Just barely," revealed Kendall with a nod.

"Goodness! Congratulations, you two!" said the two.

Eric was well aware of Dylan's story and was truly happy for the man after knowing Kendall was pregnant.

The man who fell into the abyss had climbed back up!

"Thank you." Kendall beamed.

After a casual chat and breakfast together, the Fords left them a ton of souvenirs from their holiday before Dylan and Kendall watched them fly back to Wino City on their private plane.

If all went well, the next time they met would likely be during Dylan and Kendall's wedding.

Scott rambled about being the ring bearer, and Kendall agreed gladly; she would certainly see to it.

After seeing the Fords away, the couple took a trip to the main house before heading to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Emma was getting ready to head to work when she found Toddy lying by the main door the moment she opened it.

The man was still out cold, and there were a few empty bottles next to him.

She was beyond livid, and she genuinely wanted to boot him down. Who'd have thought he actually left to buy alcohol?! I can't believe you stayed by my door the whole night and even got yourself dead drunk! I swear it reeks of liquor here.

Just then, a resident living right across Emma came out and was startled by what they saw. "What happened to him, Miss Finley?"

"Drunk. Don't worry about it. He's just asleep. By the way, he's a colleague of mine."

In the past, Emma would always be the one to go to Toddy, while he barely ever came to her place. What was more, her neighbors often came and went, so they naturally didn't know Toddy.

"Oh, is that so? Wake him up, then. It's pretty chilly out here. He'll catch a cold, given how long he's been lying out here."

The neighbor had a hunch at once after hearing that the stranger was Emma's colleague, spent the night out there, and even drank liquor.
