Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151






























Kendall pouted. "Mommy, I'm your own flesh and blood. How could you help your son-in-law and not your own daughter?"

"It's because you are my daughter that I worry about you getting into trouble, which is why I've teamed up with Master Dylan to keep an eye on you and to prevent you from driving. Master Dylan told me that he was scared to death when you were speeding, and told me that the way you drove was as if you were piloting a plane."

A shocked Kendall reacted, "Mommy, he snitched on me to you?"

"He's just thinking about your safety."

Kendall was speechless as she never would have thought that Dylan would snitch on her to her mother. However, she also knew that it was because he was only thinking of her safety. Thinking about it this way, she felt joy and was filled with happiness once more.

When they were done with their conversation, Charlotte brought her daughter back to the Coleman Family. The mother-daughter pair arrived at the same time that Dylan's convoy returned.

"Kendall, since Master Dylan's back, you'll have to talk things out with him, alright? I'll take my leave here and come back another day." With that, Charlotte unlocked the car, cueing her daughter to get out.

Although the Parker Family and the Coleman Family were now in-laws, Charlotte hadn't the courage to admit they were as such since Dylan had not announced his relationship with Kendall.

Kendall was feeling guilty. Since their car had blocked Dylan's car, Dylan's convoy was forced to a stop behind them. His driver started honking at them as they did not know that it was the car of Dylan's mother-in-law and only stopped when they saw Kendall coming out of the vehicle.

Dylan, who guessed it was his mother-in-law's car, then ordered Ronnie, "Ronnie, invite Mrs. Parker into the house." He thought that, as a son-in-law, it would be inappropriate to not invite his mother-in-law in as Charlotte was already at the entrance.

"Understood." Ronnie got out of the car.

After her daughter had alighted from the car, Charlotte was planning to move her car forward to make way for Dylan's car but was stopped by Ronnie's knock on her car window. Looking at Ronnie, she hurriedly rolled her window down before she apologized, "I'll leave right away."

"Mrs. Parker, Young Master Dylan has invited you into his home. Please drive your car into the mansion. There will be someone guiding you to a spot for you to park your car."

She was stunned for a bit before coming back to her senses and replied in a hurry, "Oh, alright. I'll drive my car in now." Saying that, she stepped on her gas pedal and drove into the mansion compound.

Kendall, who had gotten out of the car earlier, stood still as she watched her mother drive the car inside the mansion after leaving her behind. Afterward, she turned her attention to Dylan, who instructed the driver to drive after Charlotte had entered the mansion with his convoy following suit. He refused to wait for Ronnie to enter the car.

"Dylan." Kendall waved her hands at Dylan when his car passed her. However, Dylan was expressionless, as though he had not seen her.

This made Kendall feel embarrassed as she watched the numerous cars driving past her.

"Young Mistress Kendall," Ronnie greeted as he arrived next to Kendall's side after being left on the road by Dylan.

She sighed before she asked, "Ronnie, is Dylan still angry?"

Ronnie answered yes before he further elaborated, "Young Master skipped lunch today and went around finding fault with everyone in the company. Everyone, including Mr. Heller, were complaining the whole day. Mr. Heller even came and secretly asked me for the reason for Young Master's temper today."

However, he dared not confide in Toddy as he was afraid that Dylan would turn his attention on Ronnie.

"He skipped his lunch?" Kendall, who felt heartache after she heard what Ronnie told her, started walking with him into the mansion and complained, "He's not a three-year-old kid anymore to be skipping lunch just because he's angry. He's hurting his own body this way." For her, she would never starve herself even if she felt aggrieved.

Although Charlotte was the lady of the Parker Family, the Parker Family had no prior interaction with the Coleman Family, nor did they manage to get close to the latter. Hence, due to the high standing of the Coleman Family, this was the first time she had stepped foot into the Coleman Mansion.

Even though she was a wealthy person herself, she was shocked when she entered Coleman Mansion, even though she had previously heard about its size. Seeing the mansion, she thought about the huge difference in the level of wealth between the Parker Family, who were already rich, and the Coleman Family—one of the wealthiest in the world.

Amos, who had received word on Charlotte's arrival, was already waiting for her by the parking spot. Under the guidance of the staff in charge of the parking lot, Charlotte parked her car after coming into the parking lot. When she got out of the car, she saw the gentle and elegant Amos already waiting for her.

"Good evening, Mrs. Parker. I'm the Young Master's butler, Amos Miller. I am to wait for your arrival and escort you inside under his orders."

"Hello, Mr. Miller," Charlotte greeted while smiling faintly. "I'll be in your care."

"You are too kind, Mrs. Parker. Then, please follow me." He invited her to follow him.

Although she marveled at how the Coleman Mansion lived up to its name of being huge, she did not look around and only followed Amos into where Dylan lived. On the way there, she noticed how the other courtyards were named, yet the one Dylan had was nameless. Nevertheless, she dared not ask for the reason.

"Mrs. Parker, after you." Amos gestured at the entrance to Charlotte.

With a smile, Charlotte thanked the butler and entered the courtyard. Right after doing so, she was surprised as she noticed that the courtyard was filled with numerous potted flowers and that they were all well taken care of. She was surprised by the fact that Dylan was someone who would appreciate flowers and would even take care of all these flowers so well.

Seemingly noticing Charlotte's amazement, Amos smiled before he explained, "Young Master Dylan dislikes having too many plants. These were only here when Young Mistress Kendall started living here."

Reading between the lines, one could tell that Dylan had ordered for the courtyard to be filled with these potted flowers to please his wife.

After listening to Amos' explanation, Charlotte became much more convinced that her daughter was at fault.

Since Dylan had entered the house before Charlotte, who was following Amos, she found Dylan sitting on the couch the moment she entered the house.

When he noticed her, he stood up before greeting her in his deep voice, "Mother."

"Master Dylan, you didn't have to stand." Charlotte felt sorry for him, knowing that her son-in-law had difficulties with his legs. She immediately went up to him and supported him to sit down. "We are a family; there is no need to be so polite to me."

After sitting the man down, she took a seat across from him. "Master Dylan, I was only sending Kendall back here," she explained with a smile. "I did not come here to disturb you."

"Mother, you're being too serious. This home belongs to me and Kendall. You are always welcome here. You will never be disturbing us." Despite looking indifferent, Dylan spoke with courtesy.

Looking at Dylan's handsome yet tense face, Charlotte said, "Master Dylan, Kendall has already told me about the matter. If she ever did anything wrong, I plead for you to bear with her. Oh, and she has also gone back to the Whittle Family to ask for the gifts she had given to Jackson. Since they are no longer in a relationship, then they should wipe the slate clean. Master Dylan, I've already told her off about this matter, so she will clearly explain herself to you. Since you're calling me your mother, then I will be frank with you here. Quarrels between a husband and wife are but normal occurrences. What's important is for the couple to calm down after the quarrel, and for them to learn to communicate with one another."

When he heard that Kendall had asked for her gifts to be returned to her, his eyes flickered a few times, which was a sign that his indifferent expression was softening. He flatly replied, "Thank you, Mother. I will learn to communicate with Kendall."

Though his spoken words were polite, he was thinking differently. Why is that shameless woman still not here? Don't tell me she's lost again?
