Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 252

Chapter 251

Jane was worried when she heard about what happened to Dylan while she was abroad. She wanted to take a flight back to comfort him, but was stopped by her family, the main reason being he had never answered her calls when she phoned him.

Even though she learned that he wasn't doing well emotionally, she never came back after all as she knew that she wasn't the one that could get through to him.

In her memory, Dylan was like a towering tree that always protected those younger than him. He was also like a mountain that they could lean on.

"Jane, don't call me Dylan or Dilly Bear anymore," he coldly said, his eyes staring straight at her. His indifferent gaze froze her in place. Jane didn't know what was wrong with her calling him that.

Mary and Tilly had been good friends since they were young. They still kept in contact even after they respectively got married.

Nothing could stop the friendship between the two families even though the Morris Family was now set in Orapolis. Jane had known dozens of young masters from the Coleman Family since she was a child. As she was only one year younger than Yoseph, she always addressed Dylan intimately like Yoseph would.

To her, Dylan was like a brother.

A brother that was a thousand times better than her nemesis, Yoseph.

"My wife doesn't like it when women other than Ally call me Dylan," he coldly added.

Finally understanding where this was coming from, Jane smiled. "I heard from Grandma as soon as I came back that you have gotten married, Dy—Master Dylan. I didn't believe it at first, but it turned out to be true! I wonder if I will get the chance to meet my sister-in-law."

Being the tactful person that she was, Jane quickly changed the way she had been addressing him the past 20 years, and started calling him Master Dylan like everyone else did.

"Does Yoseph know that you are here?" Dylan asked in return without answering her.

He then politely showed Mary to the reception area.

"Dylan, you don't have to be so courteous with me. I am close with your grandmother. I also watched you grow up. You are like my own grandson. You don't have to stand on ceremony with me." Mary smiled, disregarding the empty look on his face.

As she was someone he respected, he didn't mind her words at all.

After a few minutes, everyone sat down on the couch in the reception area.

Dylan then informed Emma to serve tea and snacks to his guests.

"Grandma and I just came over. Yoseph hasn't got a clue. Are you going to snitch, Master Dylan?"

As Jane spoke, she wiggled her eyebrows playfully at him.

Dylan only calmly replied, "No wonder you didn't know we are going on a trip to the horse farm tomorrow."

Her eyes immediately twinkled at his words. "Mind if I tag along, Master Dylan? I promise I will stay invisible. I won't get in your way!" After saying that, Jane suddenly realized something. "Is this you giving me permission to meet Mrs. Coleman, Master Dylan?!"

Jane was very interested in Kendall.

As Tilly and Mary were good friends, Jane had a flight transfer at Orapolis International Airport when she was passing through Orapolis, even though she had just come back from abroad last week. Mary had arranged for Steve to pick Jane up and bring her back to the Coleman Residence then, but she had declined the offer.

After all, she had told her family when she was supposed to be home. She didn't want her family members to be pointlessly waiting.

She heard everything that had been going on with Dylan recently from her grandmother.

"It is not like my wife is shameful."

Tilly felt upset hearing the grandson she doted calling Kendall his wife. However, she could only hold it in and not say anything.

Mary, who knew the thoughts going through Tilly's head, also only discreetly patted her close friend's hand.

To Mary, what was most important was that Dylan liked and was happy with who he was married to.

Unlike her, Tilly stubbornly found fault in Kendall's birth. She didn't think Kendall deserved her grandson.

If Tilly was honest, it seemed that even Jane wouldn't be worthy of Dylan.

She was glad that the one Jane was still hung up on was Yoseph instead of Dylan.

As Yoseph wasn't the successor of the empire, Tilly would be glad to see Yoseph and Jane together.

"Mrs. Morris, you and Jane have to stay here longer this time around."

Even though Dylan's tone was cold, Mrs. Morris knew that he was sincere with his words. "We will do that even if you didn't tell us to, Dylan," She laughed. "I have so much to talk about with your grandmother. Let Jane go with you to the horse farm. She loves horse races. She kept nagging about wanting to come back to kill Yoseph's spirit when we were abroad."

Jane was a fiesty girl who would always get into physical fights with Yoseph back when they were children.

She would cry whenever Yoseph, who was one year older than her, won the fights. From there, Yoseph would be reprimanded by the adults. But whenever he was the one who lost, he would get beaten up by Jane to the point of tears.

Like arch enemies, they were always at each other's necks. Jane quickly followed Yoseph's footsteps when she saw him take up horse riding lessons.

Being the braver and more agile one of them both, she managed to pick up the skill in no time.

It was fine that she had stepped on his head. By the time Yoseph had learned horse riding, she kept challenging and forcing him to compete with her. Needless to say, Yoseph was always the one who lost the races.

Because of that, no one would know just how bad Jane had traumatized Yoseph.

Take the time Tilly asked him to pick Jane up from the airport for example. Yoseph had scurried away faster than a hare then.

He was terrified of Jane.

Tilly and the other women only dropped by Dylan's office as they were passing by when they were strolling nearby.

After they continued to chat for a little longer, Mary took the initiative and suggested they leave. "You must be busy with work, Dylan. We wouldn't want to bother."

As she said that, she stood up while she pulled Tilly along with her.

Tilly then warmly told Dylan, "It is rare for Mary to come. Let's have lunch together. We will be heading to the Dynasty Hotel. Go there after work, Dylan."

"You can bring Kendall along," Mary added. "I have brought a present for her. I can give it to her then."

"She is the younger one between you and her. It is fine if she doesn't prepare a gift for you. Why are you the one giving her a gift?" Despite Tilly's kind face, her words were obviously biased. She didn't want Mary to have a good impression on Kendall.

However, Mary only smiled, "It is the first meeting. It is common for the older one to give the younger one a gift."

As though he didn't hear Tilly's words, Dylan politely declined Mary on Kendall's behalf. "Mrs. Morris, Kendall has an appointment with someone at noon. She won't be able to meet you today. I will bring Kendall to say hello before we leave for the farm tomorrow."

Kendall always arrived home late, and since Mary was an important guest of the Colemans', it wouldn't be appropriate for him to disturb the older woman in the middle of the night.

"It is fine; there is no need to rush. I will be staying at your house for some time anyway. We will have the chance to meet eventually."

Dylan then steered his wheelchair himself to send them out of her office.

As soon as the women left, Emma stepped forward and uttered an apology. 'I am sorry, President Coleman. Old Madam Coleman came so suddenly that I didn't even have time to inform you before she opened your door and went in."

Ronnie and the other bodyguards all looked equally apologetic standing there.
