Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 631 Warm and Fuzzy

Toddy took the bowl and ladled the soup himself. Emma wouldn't serve him like she used to, after all.

What happened between Toddy and Emma, Kendall didn't know. She came back home with Dylan and noticed the aroma that was wafting in the air. She went to the kitchen while asking, "What did you make, Mom? Smells good."

Kelly stood up the moment she saw Dylan. She forced a smile and tried to say hi, but Kendall ignored her and went into the kitchen. Kelly swallowed the words she wanted to say. When Dylan passed by Kelly, she quickly smiled again. "Hello, Dylan," said Kelly sycophantically.

Dylan shot her an icy look, but he remained silent. He refused to talk to her.

Kelly didn't expect Dylan to smile either. Back when Kendall cared only for Jackson, Kelly still could see Dylan a bit, but Dylan never even smiled at her. Now that Kendall had become her enemy in this fight for inheritance, Dylan wouldn't even talk to her. Kelly needed to sit. Her foot was still bruised, and she was terrified of Dylan. Eventually, her legs wobbled.

It was odd. She almost never saw Dylan, and Dylan never did anything to her before. So why am I scared of him? I can't even form a coherent sentence when I see him. Even when I can say something, my legs would start to wobble. Odd. Now that he's married to Kendall, I should be able to hold my terror back, but I still can't.

Dylan wouldn't even bother with her. Noticing Kelly's wobbling legs, disgust filled his eyes. Then, he made his way to the kitchen. Every time he saw Kelly, a feeling of disgust would well up in his heart. Maybe it's because of Kendall's dream. Kelly's one of the people who killed her daughter.

Kendall's dream ended at the moment where she and her baby died. If Dylan knew the baby was her daughter, and that Kelly and Jackson were the ones who killed them, he would hunt those two down. It was a pity that Kendall never told him about the dream's continuation as she didn't see how Kelly and Jackson ended up. It would be ridiculous if they can still live at large.

Even though that was only a dream, Dylan didn't let Jackson off the hook. The Whittles were paying for Jackson's mistakes, and Kelly only survived because Kendall wanted to take her down herself. It's good that Kendall can learn some political tactics.

Dylan entered the kitchen and saw his wife trying to take a piece of meat with her hand, which resulted in Charlotte smacking her hand. "Kendall, you are an adult now. Get a fork, will you," Charlotte chided and grabbed a fork. She then washed it and handed it to Kendall.

"Not my fault. These smell so good. I can't wait." Kendall happily took the fork and speared a bit of every dish for herself.

The servant smiled. "The madam's been going through her recipe books the moment she knew you and Master Dylan were coming back."

"You're the best, Mom. I love your cooking. Smells like family. It's better than what the best chefs can whip up."

Charlotte smiled at the servant. "She just knows how to cheer me up. If you really love my cooking, you should come home every day. I bet if your father hadn't asked you, you wouldn't come back. I didn't call you because I was worried that I might disturb your work. So, I prayed to God that you might come home from time to time."

Kendall went around and hugged her mother from behind. "And here I am, Mom. I'll be staying for a bit. It's the weekend tomorrow. Dylan and I are going to take you guys on a trip. A road trip." And my other family's coming too. We can all have fun together and make up for a bit of lost time.

"Oh, I'm not scolding you, my child. Dylan's here too, isn't he? You should go to him. I don't want him to feel bored. Your father isn't home yet."

"Dad's coming home tonight? He said nothing of the sort when I left."

"I made a lot of food, so I called your father. It's not every day we get to have dinner together, but he still went ahead with an appointment. We're more important than his silly work," Charlotte grumbled.

"Charlotte," Dylan said.

The ladies turned around. Seeing Dylan standing right outside the kitchen, Charlotte smacked Kendall's hands away and beamed at Dylan. "Have a seat, Dylan. Dinner will be ready soon."
