Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 641 Change of Plans

"Where are we going now?" Dylan pinched his wife's tiny nose. "Why don't we go for a stroll in the park before we head home?"

Kendall wrapped her arms around his waist. "I don't mind going anywhere as long as I am with you," she uttered sweetly.

"I love the way you sweet-talk with me. You always know the right thing to say," he uttered. "It's my goal to drown you with all my sweetness. I need to make sure you're too immersed in my love to think about any other girls out there," she replied.

"I've never looked at other girls, though," Dylan protested. Kendall beamed at this. "That's true. My husband's the most loyal and honest man I know. He only has eyes for me. And I'm the same—you're the only man I ever look at. I'd marry you even in my next life. But I'd like to be the husband in our next life. That way, you can be my wife, and I can pamper you all I want. I want to repay you for all the love you've given me," she uttered.

Kendall had never been a believer in reincarnation, but all that changed after she came back to life this time. She genuinely hoped that one could have multiple lifetimes and that she could be with Dylan in every lifetime. "Well, when we both grow old and die someday, you'll have to make sure that you hold on to the memories we've made in this lifetime. That way, we can use those memories to find each other again in our next life."

"Okay. You'll have to promise me you'll do the same," Kendall replied. Dylan beamed and planted another kiss on her lips before he snuggled up with her and enjoyed the view outside. The driver sent the couple to a park nearby, and two bodyguards trailed along with the couple while the rest of the men were free to do whatever they wanted.

Meanwhile, Charlotte and the rest were both worried and amused after Dylan sent Kendall to the 'hospital.' The maids served some fruits while the Parkers and Woodses sat around the living hall and chatted. Kelly sat in a corner on her own, and she seemed rather silent and distant while the others had a conversation.

All of a sudden, Kelly's phone rang in her lap. She had received a new message, so she hastily held her phone up to read it. The rest of the people in the room immediately shifted their gazes over to her. "It's a friend. She's asking me to go shopping with her," Kelly explained as she lifted her injured leg as if to show that she was physically incapable of going out to shop.

"Your leg still hurts, and it's hot outside, Kelly. Why don't you stay home and rest for a few days? If you're bored, you can invite your mother to take a stroll with you in the backyard," Charlotte suggested in a gentle tone. She intended to get Sally to bond with her biological daughter. Sally turned to give Kelly a hopeful gaze, but Kelly simply glanced in Sally's direction before responding to Charlotte's words, "The sun's already hanging in the middle of the sky now, Mommy. I think it'd be better for her and me to take a stroll in the evening. We can familiarize ourselves with the area then."

Kelly knew that the Colemans were going to send wedding gifts over in a few days. The Woods Family had been invited over to witness Kendall's marriage, so they were going to stay in the Parker Residence for the next few days. "She's your biological mother, Kelly. Regardless of what happened in the past, she's still the woman who gave you your life. You should call her 'Mom' instead of just saying 'her.' You don't have to worry about how I feel—I'm keeping an open mind with this matter now. I feel the same for both you and Kendall," Charlotte said. She felt rather sorry for Sally, so she started lecturing Kelly for the way she addressed Sally.

In the past, Charlotte wasn't too keen to have Kendall interact with the Woodses when she first reunited with her biological daughter. Charlotte was worried that the Woods Family would create a gap between herself and her daughter. When Kelly struggled to bond with the Woodses and even refused to acknowledge them as her biological parents, Charlotte had felt happy for a short while—she felt like she could keep both her biological and adopted daughters. However, she changed her mindset soon after. She was a lot more open-minded, and she was more empathic toward Sally and her husband.

The Woods Family had taught Kendall well, but Charlotte and her husband hadn't done as great of a job with Kelly. She felt guilty for the way that Kelly turned out, so she tried her best to encourage a relationship between Kelly and her biological mother. Charlotte wasn't sure about how the rest of the Woods Family felt toward Kelly, but she was certain that Sally genuinely cared and loved Kelly. Charlotte was also aware of how hurt Sally was whenever Kelly refused to refer to Sally as her mother.

"It's fine. She can call me anything she wishes to, as long as I understand she's referring to me." Sally beamed as she tried to resolve the tension. "I won't blame you for anything, Kelly," she uttered while glancing at Kelly. Milo wore a stern look on his face, while Nelson simply let out an icy scoff without saying much.

"That's not right, Sally. It's not as if the truth of the adoption had just been revealed. It's been two years now—Kelly should learn to accept the reality of the matter." Charlotte turned to Kelly before speaking in a warm and gentle tone, "I'm not forcing you to do anything, Kelly. But Sally is your biological mother. I understand how it could've been hard for you to accept this when you first discovered the truth, but it has been two years now. Are you still unable to call her your mother? Kendall didn't call me her mother at first, but she gradually got used to it after she started practicing it."

"I… I got it, Mommy," Kelly uttered before turning to Sally. "We can go for a stroll in the garden later in the evening, Mom. I'll head up to rest for now."

Sally was pleased to hear Kelly's words, and tears of joy welled up in her eyes. "Sure, sure. Go ahead and get some rest. I'll prepare you some lunch. What would you like to eat?" Sally asked.
