Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278

Many horses were raised on the vast horse farm of the Ford Family. Therefore, many people were working on the farm too.

Robert Coleman was the person in charge of the horse farm. He had been showing a fondness for horses since his youth, so it wasn't a surprise to his family when he requested to take over the horse farm once he finished his studies in high school.

However, Dylan rejected him due to his young age, but promised to hand over the horse farm to him once he graduated from the university.

Therefore, Robert worked hard in university and eventually finished his studies at twenty years old. In the same year, he took over the horse farm.

Over the five years of him running and managing the horse farm, the business had been thriving like Coleman Empire Holdings, and had eventually become renowned in the country.

The horse farm was open to the public, and many people enjoyed horse racing on usual days. However, as the head of the Coleman Family and his friends were gathering at the horse farm today, they made notice to the visitors that they would be closing temporarily for two days.

"There are so many horses!" Kendall was amazed by the number of horses in the farm.

She looked around the area. The horse farm featured a huge field and a race course. The visitors could choose whether to race the horse on the race course against others or ride in the field as if they were riding in the real grassland.

Dylan turned to her and asked, "Don't you want to join them?"

Kendall answered with a smile, "It's okay. I'll stay here with you and watch them for now."

She knew she definitely couldn't leave him alone and enjoy the fun all by herself.

Dylan was more petty and sensitive than one could imagine he would be. Even though he pretended he could care less, he would make her pay the price once they got home and had the privacy all to themself.

Dylan answered with a soft expression, "We're having a vacation here for you to get some fresh air and relieve the pressure, so you should enjoy the fun however you like. You don't need to be concerned about me. Ronnie and the others will stay here with me."

"It's fine. I want to take a look around first."

Kendall would like to enjoy the beautiful view surrounding the horse farm before everything.

Besides, other than Dylan's siblings and Jane, she could only recognize Toddy and Emma among the visitors.

Every stranger wouldn't bother to hide from her as they were sizing her from head to toe when they came over to greet Dylan. Fortunately, Kendall didn't tend to get anxious in front of strangers and was confident in herself, so she stood there without fearing people's judging gaze resting on her.

Kendall only invited Amelia as her own parents declined her invitation due to their old age, saying they didn't share the same interest with the young people nowadays.

Truth be told, Adam and Charlotte declined her out of the reason they didn't want to bother Dylan and Kendall in bonding.

"Are you tired? Why don't we take a rest?" Dylan was watching her with tenderness in his eyes as he expressed his consideration.

His longing gaze brought back her memories of last night. Her face flushed and her heart skipped a beat, but she answered, "I am not. Dylan, it's been a long time since you were last here, isn't it? Why don't we look around for a little bit first?"

"You're right. It's been more than a year."

Before he got into a car accident, Dylan would invite his friends to horse riding every month. However, he was deprived of the fun of riding a horse in the current condition he was in.

Even in his current situation, he wasn't fit for horse riding yet.

As she pushed him around, Kendall suggested, "We'll come here again once you recover. When the time comes, we'll have a competition and decide who's better."

Dylan chuckled. "I've learned how to ride a horse since I'm a child; are you sure you want to compete against me?"

Kendall fell into silence as reality dawned on her. I don't stand a chance against him. Even though she knew a few tricks, she hadn't mastered them at all, and she was only slightly better than the ordinary person.

"Where did Amy go?" Thinking of her best friend, Kendall turned her head around in search of Amelia.

Dylan's calm statement was proof that he knew Amelia well. "Surely she's having fun taking photos of my brothers with her phone under a tree somewhere."

Dylan was aware of himself having a bunch of handsome brothers, no matter the biological ones or his cousins. Amelia wasn't immune to pretty faces, and she enjoyed taking pictures of good-looking men.

As the Fords were gathering at the horse farm, surely Amelia wouldn't miss a rare occasion like today.

As expected, Kendall found a familiar figure hiding behind a tree with her phone in hand as she took pictures of the men on the racecourse.

She turned to Dylan and struggled to justify her friend's behavior. "It's the only hobby she has."

Usually, people wouldn't make a fuss out of it. However, Amelia paid the price for taking photos of Frank last time.

"You can tell her that she doesn't need to sneak around to shoot the photos. She can do it face-to-face with them. My siblings won't mind her behavior knowing she's your friend, as long as she isn't using them for commercial use," Dylan explained gently. "After all, taking photographs sneakily isn't that good either."

Dylan would no doubt be mad if he found someone taking pictures of him without his permission.

As she got permission from him, a wide smile bloomed on Kendall's face. "Really? I'll tell her right now!"

Excited to share the good news, she stopped walking and pulled out her cell phone to call Amelia.

Meanwhile, Amelia, who was hiding behind a tree, was struggling to hold in her excitement, and she felt as if she had won the lottery. There are handsome men everywhere! Moreover, they are all well-known young talents in Orapolis!

The men around her today were no doubt the most handsome ones as all of them looked better than each of her encounters in the past.

Amelia was aware that she attended the gathering as Kendall's friend, so she should behave properly instead of taking pictures of the men in secret, but she couldn't help herself. Will it be fine if I don't take the photos of them in a close-up range or shoot their full face? I just want some records of the moment they're riding a horse. If nobody notices me, then I won't be offending anyone, right? Kendall will be safe too, won't she?

When Amelia was having fun taking the photos, an incoming call interrupted her.

The caller ID was showing Kendall's name. Scanning around the area for her friend, she eventually found Kendall waving at her from a distance.

Due to it being impossible to hear each other from far away, Kendall had no choice but to call her friend.

Amelia answered the call without any delay, and she heard Kendall ask, "Amy, why are you standing there by yourself?"

"The sun's too strong. I'm hiding from it under the shady tree," Amelia answered sheepishly.

The others, who weren't interested in horse riding, were gathering under a tree. They were passing their time at the rest area, which consisted of a few marble tables and stone benches.

Amelia recognized some people among them, but she wasn't well acquainted with them. After all, people tended to ignore her for her hobby of taking pictures.

She knew very well that Kendall and her would always be the standout among the high society circles.

"Amy, why don't you come over so we can take a stroll together?"

"You stay there with Master Dylan. Don't worry about me; I'm enjoying myself."

Amelia could see clearly that Dylan wanted Kendall all to himself. She wouldn't dare become a third wheel.

"I'll ask Alice to show you around. You can take as many photos as you like and don't have to take them sneakily. Dylan has already given his approval."

Kendall was aware that nobody would come over and join their time of bonding when Dylan was around her unless she walked away.

For example, Dylan's friends left to find a way to entertain themselves soon after greeting them.

"Really?" Amelia was overjoyed as she asked in disbelief.

"Dylan will never break his promise."

She smiled sweetly. "Kendall, you need to express my gratitude to Master Dylan."

"Alright, I'll look for you later. We can ride horses together."

Amelia answered dreamily, "Don't worry, all I need are the good-looking men around. You can stay with Master Dylan."

At that, Kendall grumbled, "How could you blow me off for some handsome men?"
