Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288

A pregnancy would inevitably have an effect on Kendall's work, and she would not be able to be as busy as she was right now.

Dylan's gaze remained icy, and his handsome face became tense, indicating his gloomy disposition.

A few moments later, he turned to look at Kendall as he sipped the soup with grace. After taking two mouthfuls of the soup, he said coldly, "As long as it's a medicine, it must contain some poison. Taking medicines can cause side effects. If you are not yet prepared to be a mother, we can take precautions in the future. About last night… Anyway, taking the medicines at this time won't have much of an effect, so there's no point in taking them. If you're pregnant, then, it's our fate for this child to come into the world."

In fact, he wasn't even ready to be a father. However, if she was pregnant, he would definitely have this child because it was his flesh and blood.

"Okay." Kendall was interested in knowing his thoughts on the matter. She counted the days and discovered that it was her safe days. Therefore, there is a high likelihood of her not becoming pregnant. There was nothing to worry about as long as proper safety measures were taken.

"Would you prefer a boy or a girl if I become pregnant?"

"I will love them for as long as they are our child. Although I do not consider myself to be the type of person who prioritizes sons over daughters, I can say that within the Coleman Family, there is a stronger preference for daughters."

Only God knew the extent to which the Colemans would go to have a daughter. In any case, the family hadn't had a daughter in several generations. Alice was the family's greatest treasure as the only girl in the current line.

When she thought about how the Coleman Family mostly comprises boys, she didn't feel worried about having a son. Instead, she should be concerned about not being able to have a daughter.

"Darling, your family was meant to have sons so that they can help the business to flourish."

A son in the household was typically viewed as a good omen for success. It could be seen in the way that the Coleman Family ran their business.

Dylan was speechless and continued, "I don't know. I believe our ancestors consulted a fortune teller before settling on the properties in our family's possession. But I didn't do much research and didn't ask any of the elders."

If the events of Kendall's dream were to come true, they would most likely have a daughter for their first child.

Baby. In her dreams, she kept calling out for her child, who looked just like her. Dylan was admiring how beautiful she was when all of a sudden, he started getting excited about the birth of their child.

If Kendall had a girl, the family's elders would accept her. Then, he would be able to protect her, despite Old Madam Coleman's adamant objection. In fact, the best marriage would be one that receives blessings from everyone. Her life would be much more comfortable and relaxed if the Colemans' elders accepted her.

Kendall smiled as she ate, "It's likely a prophecy by the fortune teller that your ancestor consulted and it explains why so many boys are born from generation to generation."

Dylan smiled but said nothing. Seeing how much she enjoyed her meal stimulated his appetite. After their meal, the young couple was affectionate toward each other on the couch.

Suddenly, his phone rang, and he picked it up off the coffee table. When he checked the caller ID, he saw it was Robert. Kendall saw "Bob" on the phone and knew that Robert was calling him.

"Bob," Dylan said in a low voice, and the changes in his tones were too subtle to be perceived.

"Dylan, Frank just brought Yasmine here."

A glint flashed in his black eyes. He is my worst enemy, and now he wants to go against me.

Dylan took his wife to the horse farm to ride horses over the weekend. When Frank found out about it, he brought Yasmine over; it was clear he was planning something.

"Tell him that the horse farm is closed for business today."

Robert responded, "The staff tried to explain many times, but Frank kept insisting on going in. He said that if we don't let him in, he will get people to smash this place up."

"If he dares to smash this place, call the police." Then, Dylan coldly exclaimed, "Make him leave. This is our domain, and we're in charge here."

In addition, he was not concerned that Frank would attack the horse farm using the troll factory. Although it was widely known as a destination for tourists, the Coleman Family actually owned this property and considered it to be a personal asset. Because of this, it was completely natural for them to forbid their family's sworn enemy from entering their own farm. This horse farm reputation could not be slandered by Frank's troll factory. Most internet users were savvy enough to avoid being easily influenced by his false information.

"Okay."

Robert was young and aggressive, and he wasn't afraid of Frank. He only made the call because Dylan was spending the weekend there. Since Dylan was the head of the Coleman Family, it was right for Robert to show him respect.

After the phone call between the brothers ended, Kendall was leaning on his shoulder at the time; she yawned and then exclaimed, "Dylan, it looks like Frank is really fond of you. He will definitely show up wherever you go."

As soon as she was done talking, he lightly pinched her cheek.

"Ouch!"

"It's just a light pinch; I don't think that much pressure can relieve an itch."

Kendall giggled as she said, ""I did that on purpose to make you feel bad."

"Cheeky." Dylan lightly pinched her cheek again before hugging her tighter and gently saying, "Get some sleep. You must have had a restless night last night. As for Frank... He probably isn't coming for me, but I don't want him in my domain, even if he is. He can't do anything to me except vent his anger, and I don't think I can do anything about it either."

Then, Kendall groaned, but it was muffled, and he didn't catch it. Dylan took a glance at her and saw that she had fallen asleep. He realized she probably didn't even pay attention to what he had just said. Then, with a sly grin, he stopped talking and let her lean on him while she dozed off.

After she had fallen asleep, he carried her slowly into the bedroom. When he finally got her onto the bed, he sat on the side of it, panting. His legs were trembling slightly as a result of the long distance. He waited a while for his breathing to return to normal, during which time he massaged both of his legs. It had been some time since he had consistently begun rehabilitation. While walking still caused him pain, it was more tolerable than it had been.

He took off Kendall's shoe and then laid down beside her.

"Dylan..." The lovely girl sleeping next to him started talking in her sleep and even called his name.

"Dylan… I will marry you."

As his gaze became gentler, a smile broke out on his face. He leaned in close and pecked Kendall lightly on the lips before saying, "We're married."

She murmured something else and appeared pleased based on her facial expression.

"Are you having wonderful dreams with me in it?" Dylan was compelled to steal her kisses once more. He felt contented and was about to embrace and sleep with her when the timeless song 'Never Gonna Give You Up' began playing on Kendall's phone as her ringtone.

He reached for her phone hastily, hoping the ringtone wouldn't wake her. Initially, he considered ignoring the call, but then he saw it was from Sally. After giving it some thought, he decided to answer the call in her stead.

"Kendall, are you on your lunch break now? Am I disturbing you?"

"Mom, she's on her lunch break, and I'm Dylan."

Sally was stunned for a moment before breaking into an awkward smile. "Master Dylan! Is Kendall with you?"

"Hmm, I took her away for a vacation," he said in a low voice that sounded cold to Sally.
