Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292

Soon enough, Dylan came to stand behind Kendall as he took the comb from her hands to personally groom her hair.

"Put on your bedroom flip-flops before you get out. The floor's cold."

"Sure, Mother Coleman."

Dylan hit her scalp gently with the comb. "I'm a man."

"There are plenty of women out there who would give anything to have a conversation with me. Meanwhile, you're finding me too naggy for your taste, are you?"

In response, Kendall stuck out her tongue playfully. "So, I'm an ungrateful little brat then?"

He nodded solemnly. "Yes, you are."

Subsequently, she revealed a peal of laughter.

"Were you just complaining about me with your mom when I walked into the room?"

"No, I wasn't. I wouldn't dare to complain about you in front of my mom. Both my Moms—yes, both—regard you as even more important than me. I'm their daughter and yet they pay heed to your words more than mine! If I actually did complain about you in front of them, I'm sure that they would give me a scolding." I seriously wonder which one of us is their child!

"They both know that I have your best interest at heart."

"Well, I don't mind it at all. I'm just happy that they are fond of you."

Both of her moms were much nicer than her mother-in-law and it did not take them too long to accept Dylan.

On the other hand, Kendall's mother-in-law had yet to accept Kendall as her daughter-in-law even up till now. It was quite odd though, because the Colemans were the ones to seek her hand in marriage from the Parker Family. However, now that she had actually married Dylan, both Tilly and Emily were significantly displeased with her.

So… It's okay when they ask for my hand in marriage, but it's not when I voluntarily marry him? Well, I guess it's true that it's human nature to not appreciate things that we attain so easily. Had it been the case where they paid a hefty amount for my betrothal gift and went through hurdles just to marry Dylan off, the tables might have turned today.

Kendall was significantly speechless at the moment. "Dylan, do you reckon that I was a shameless wench when I forced you to marry me in the past?"

"I was merely impressed by you back then. The minute before that, you were threatening suicide in objection to the marriage. Then, you clung to me so tightly and kissed me with such ferocity as you forced me to take responsibility for you."

"But Kendall, none of that makes you a shameless wench and I don't wanna hear that term ever again."

"I bit you once, that's all! I didn't kiss you with ferocity."

"Would you like to have another attempt?"

At that point, she was speechless. "Dylan, I think you must be trying to seduce me. I'm not firm in my resolve, so please don't seduce me. I can't quite contain my urges at the moment, so if you even gesture at me with your finger to move closer, I might not want to head downstairs anymore."

Dylan hit her gently on the head with the comb once again.

"Kendall, you're such a succubus!"

"Yes, I am. I'm fixated on devouring you. You're my elixir to immortality. Haha."

The man found himself at a loss for what to do with this thick-skinned woman.

"Dylan, let's have dinner at the buffet restaurant on the first floor tonight, alright?"

Without agreeing immediately, he mentioned, "Ally and the others wanted a barbecue and Robert has given instructions for his men to prepare the ingredients."

"Oh, okay! I want to join their barbecue too. It's more fun when we're with a group."

Dylan laughed at that. "I knew you would choose barbecue. I've married a glutton. It's fortunate that I earn plenty and I can keep up with your spending."

"I can earn my keep too! Dylan, from now on, I'll give you some pocket money every month as well," responded Kendall.

"Oh. Ever since I turned eighteen, I have never received any pocket money, so I do reminisce about the time when I received money without having to lift a finger."

"I'll give you my monthly wages as your pocket money. I'll find some other means to earn more money. I can't possibly allow my man to be deprived of money."

He went along with her words quite solemnly. "Sure, I'll wait patiently for my wife to drop money onto my lap then."

"Dylan." She maintained an intent look in her eyes too.

As soon as he turned to look at her with an intense stare, she stated, "I think we're both quite childish! Hahahaha!"

He helped her pull her hair into a ponytail as he responded affectionately, "I'll always go along with you regardless of anything."

"Well, tonight, I wanna…"

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you…"

Kendall's sentence was interrupted by her ringtone.

She took her phone in her hands and realized that it was an unfamiliar landline number.

"Dylan, where is this landline number calling from?"

The first few digits represented the district and she was unclear which area it was. She could only remember the area code to several important large cities but not the rest.

"It's from Eastfort," Dylan responded nonchalantly.

A call from Eastfort?

"It must be Scott, then!" Kendall happily answered the phone call from Eastfort.

Meanwhile, Dylan's expression darkened upon noticing her excited look. Still, he kept his silence.

After all, Scott was just a three-year-old child and he should not be jealous of a kid.

"Lady Parker." Scott's childlike voice rang out from the phone and Kendall beamed widely upon hearing that.

Scott had an adorable childish voice and she enjoyed listening to him speak.

"Scott." With a smile, she called out for him.

"Lady Parker, I miss you so much."

Scott clutched the phone in his hand and spoke to the woman on the other end, "I really wanted to go and see you, but then my dad said I can't. That's why I was only able to talk to you on the phone. Lady Parker, do you miss me?"

"Of course, I miss you! I miss you very much, Scott. You must listen to your dad. Once you're free, then you can come over and see me. I'll bring you to have fun at the theme park and we can see tigers at the zoo."

The kiddo was instantly joyful. "Is this true?"

It sounded pretty ludicrous, but the young master of the Ford Family was now three years old, yet he had never stepped foot into the zoo or the theme park.

The Fords had their own exclusive children's theme park. Sure, it was a large one, but Scott was the only child in his generation, so he was not happy at all playing by himself in the large theme park.

He had heard his classmates mention that the theme park outside was filled with other children and it was filled with fun. He could not help but be envious of the lively and exciting scene.

"I'll definitely keep my word. I'll never lie to a child."

Kendall was very fond of this child as well. It was more than coincidence for her to make use of her rebirth to save him once again; it was fate.

"Once Dad's free to bring me over to see you, then you must bring me to the zoo to see the tigers."

"I promise."

"Lady Parker."

"Yes?"

"Could you hold me in your arms like how my mom would from now on? I really like it when you hug me. It reminds me of my mom."

Scott was obsessed with Kendall not only because she had saved his life, but also because he could feel the warmth of a mother from being in her arms.

"Sure thing, but I'm not your mom after all. She will definitely regain consciousness eventually."

With Kendall's chance at rebirth, she managed to save him and change the trajectory of his life. Perhaps that alone would bring good luck to him. Right now, all he needed and craved for the most was maternal love.

As such, she sincerely hoped that Mrs. Ford would regain consciousness soon so that Eric's pain could be lessened and Scott could also experience his mother's love.

Kendall was sure that Mrs. Ford would definitely give all her love to her son upon regaining consciousness. After all, she had ended up in a vegetative state out of her protective instinct to save her son.

"Yup, my mom will definitely wake up soon!"

Needless, Scott wished for the same as well. When that happened, he would have his mom there to fetch him after school and he no longer had to feel envious of his classmates who were picked up after school by their moms.

"Lady Parker, my dad's here. I'll call you another time. I did it secretly this time because my dad said that it would be inconvenient for you to chat with me."

Though he did not quite comprehend the meaning behind his dad's words, he bid his goodbye to her and hung up without waiting for her reply.
