Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 264

Chapter 263

Tilly smiled lovingly. "Yes, Kendall is blessed."

It is a blessing to be married to my precious grandson.

"Jane, get the gift that I prepared for Kendall."

Mary pulled Kendall to sit down and said to Dylan, "Dylan, you don't mind if Kendall sits next to me, do you?"

Mary watched Dylan grow up, so she was aware of Dylan's domineering nature.

However, Dylan put on a rare smile and said, "If you like Kendall, that's her blessing. As long as you don't mind, please let Kendall sit next to you and get some blessing from you."

Indeed, Mary was truly blessed. She had many descendants, just like Tilly. Moreover, her husband was still alive, and their relationship was still close even after many decades, so a lot of young people were envious of her.

Dylan handed the gift prepared by Amos to Kendall. Then, Kendall took it and handed the gift to Mary.

"Mrs. Morris, this is a small gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it."

Mary smiled as she accepted the gift. "I like every gift you give me."

Afterward, Jane hurriedly brought out the gifts her grandmother had prepared.

"Grandma, here." Jane handed the gift to Mary and greeted Kendall, "Hello, Kendall. My name is Jane Morris."

Kendall got up and was going to shake Jane's hand, but Jane gave her a hug instead.

What a passionate girl. However, it's quite to my liking. I like people like Jane, who is straightforward. I think Jane, who is from an influential family, isn't afraid of anything and is straightforward.

"Kendall, this is my gift for you. I hope you'll like it too."

Mary gave Kendall a set of jewelry.

Kendall took the gift and thanked Mary hastily as she gave another gift to Jane.

After some gift exchange, the mood in the room was much better.

It happened to be dinnertime, so Dylan and Kendall stayed at the main house for a meal.

This was Dylan's first meal with his family since the car accident.

As he ate, Emily kept spooning him more food.

Even Tilly followed suit too.

It was as if Dylan had starved, and they wanted to stuff a buffet down Dylan's throat.

Kendall was a bit uncomfortable because she found that everyone in the room was eating slowly and politely.

Her table manners were good, but she was not used to being slow.

Normally when Dylan ate with her, he didn't mind her manners.

Presently, Dylan did not neglect his beloved wife as he put Kendall's favorite food on her plate.

When he did so, everyone looked at Dylan.

Kendall thought this was natural, but it was extraordinary for everyone else.

Emily wanted to say something, but Fergus silently stopped her to prevent her from saying a word.

Tilly was good at acting, and she still looked as normal as ever as she spoke to Mary.

The atmosphere over here was nice. On the contrary, Emma was looking at her car depressedly at the Coleman Empire Holdings

My car broke down as soon as I left the company!

A Porsche drove out and the person saw Emma parked at the company entrance, so he honked his car.

Emma craned her head and looked.

It is Toddy's car. I didn't block his way, did I?

Toddy honked as he drove out and stopped next to Emma.

"Why are you parking here?"

"Mr. Heller, my car broke down."

Toddy frowned and asked, "How long has it been since your car was serviced?"

At that, Emma muttered with embarrassment, "I've been so busy at work, so I forgot how long it is."

Initially, Toddy wanted to reprimand her. However, he stopped himself as he saw her anxious look. "Have you called the auto repair company?" he asked. "Tell them to send someone over or tow it to repair it."

"I did. They should be here soon."

Toddy stopped talking at that.

Then, he rolled up the car and started the car.

Seeing that he was leaving, Emma opened her mouth but couldn't speak.

At that point, she felt rather sad.

My car broke down, and he didn't even get out of the car to help me take a look or offer to take me home.

However, Toddy parked the car on the side and then got out of it to walk over.

Seeing that he turned back after parking the car, Emma suddenly turned happy again.

"Let me help you with that for now," Toddy said lightly.

"Thank you."

He gave Emma a deep look and said with the same light tone, "It's alright."

He got into Emma's car and tried to start the engine but to no avail. Finally, after several tries, he gave up.

Toddy didn't know much about auto repairs and did those out of instinct.

Goodness knows the devil and angel on his shoulder were fighting it out.

One said he couldn't help, and it told him to get out of there and not give any more trouble.

The other one said even if he couldn't help, just find an excuse to accompany her to make her feel at ease.

Toddy lifted the hood of the car and glanced everywhere, but he didn't know the problem.

Emma followed him and repeatedly said, "I wonder what went wrong."

Toddy didn't answer.

Luckily, someone from the auto repair company came and rescued Toddy from the embarrassment before Emma.

Emma's car was then towed away.

After that, Emma thanked Toddy again.

"Are you going to take a cab or bus back?"

Emma looked straight at him and asked tentatively, "Can you give me a ride?"

Emma lived very close to Toddy, and they practically lived in the same area.

However, Toddy lived in the villa area while Emma rented a high-rise next to the villa area. Those who live in the villa area could go through the community garden at the high-rise building, but those who live in the high-rise couldn't go to the villa area.

Toddy was silent.

"I can pay for the fare."

Toddy laughed. "I charge a lot; don't you complain that I'll scam you."

Taking a look at his Porsche, Emma smiled. "Name a price—I'll see if I can afford your service."

In the past, when she was still learning from Toddy, he took her back home from the company daily and never charged her.

Emma sighed inwardly.

After breaking the mold, the distance between them became further.

Toddy didn't love her and didn't accept her feelings, but he didn't stay away from her either.

She did not leave the Coleman Empire Holdings because she couldn't let go of him.

Although she was in despair and intended to retreat, Emma still wanted to make one last effort.

I will give myself another three months. Then, if Toddy doesn't want to accept my feelings, I will resign and leave Coleman Empire Holdings so I can completely let go of Toddy and start my new life.
