Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 639

Chapter 639 Good Morning, My Love

"Sure. I'll make sure my men keep a close eye on Kelly and Rosemi," said Dylan. "Just don't think too much about it. I'm here. I promise I will protect you. Your family is my family, too. I won't let anything happen to them."

Kendall hugged him and rested her head on his chest. "The greatest choice I've made in my life is marrying you, darling."

"Same. I'm glad I married you, too. Your bravery attracted me." If I hadn't been attracted by her courage, I would've missed her. All these years, she's the only one who has made me fall for her. I love her to the moon and back.

Meanwhile, Kendall was reminded of the time she was reborn. "All I wanted to do back then was stick to you like glue. And now, we're inseparable. Good thing you didn't scrub me off."

"I'd never scrub you off." Dylan kissed her on the lips before saying gently, "Now, sleep. It's late."

"Alright, but I want to fall asleep in your arms."

"Be my guest." Dylan smiled.

The nightmare came to an end, and the couple fell back asleep. When Kendall woke up the next morning, the Woodses had already arrived. Dylan woke up first and walked around the yard. Morning exercise, or so he said. When he came back and saw Kendall was awake, he approached her with a smile.

Kendall sat up, feeling bliss when she saw her handsome husband. "Morning, darling."

When he was close enough, she extended her arms, and Dylan bent down so she could wrap her arms around his neck. Then, she kissed his cheek. "Morning, my love," said Dylan gently. "The Woodses are here. They're waiting for you. Oh, and Mother made breakfast herself today."

Kendall slid out of bed right away upon hearing that. "Time to get changed ASAP! I can't believe you didn't wake me up."

"You were sleeping soundly, so…" The man picked out some clothes for her. "By the way, I haven't told them about the cancellation."

"I'll bring it up to them later."

Dylan grunted. "Just tell them I'm under the weather."

"It's alright. Leave it to me. I'll convince them to give it up."

He gave her a loving look. "I'll be counting on you, then."

They emerged from the room 10 minutes later and ran into Kelly at the staircase. She was wearing maternity clothes that morning, and her baby bulge was showing. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Kendall. Master Dylan," Kelly greeted them and made way for them.

Kendall grunted in response while Dylan didn't even glance at her. He held Kendall's hand and led her downstairs.

Kelly was jealous of their loving relationship but could do nothing about it. She had no courage to even fantasize about dating someone like Dylan. Her legs would wobble every time she saw him. But they're going on a road trip today. If Rosemi's plan works… Just the thought of it made her heart race in excitement, but she recomposed herself quickly. I can celebrate it after the success.

"Dad, Mom, Nell." Kendall approached the Woodses, smiling. And Dylan let go of her hand.

Nelson noticed that little detail. He had conflicting emotions about this, but for the most part, he was glad that Dylan was nice to Kendall. He promised he would only be her brother and nothing more. As long as Kendall was fine, he was happy. Then, Nelson smiled, the conflicted look in his eyes disappearing.

"Have you been eating less, Kendall? You're a lot thinner than you were the last time." Sally looked at Kendall closely. Since she couldn't be with her at all times, she couldn't help but think Kendall had lost weight.

However, Milo blurted, "You really need to get your eyes checked, honey. No matter how you looked at her, she got a lot fatter. I can't believe you said she lost weight. Nelson, Kendall got fatter, didn't she?"

Nelson smiled as he replied, "Dad, she's not fat. She's just curvy."

Oh, shoot! She might not like to hear that word. Milo quickly said, "Yeah, you're right."

"Did I really gain weight?" Kendall looked at her belly. "I haven't even gotten a big baby bulge yet, and it's not like my face is fat, either." She pinched her face. Huh, my face does feel a bit fat. No matter. I still look pretty. "Am I finally going to put on some weight from eating after so many years?"

Adam smiled. "You're not fat. You spend so much time at work, so there's no way you can put on weight. Milo only thinks so because he hasn't seen you in ages."

Dylan added, "Yeah, you look fine to me."

"But you, Master Dylan… You've certainly put on some weight." Milo changed the subject.

Dylan kept quiet as he thought, Dang, my mom told me that, too. She even said I'd become a fatty if I didn't lose weight. He shot Kendall a look of grievance. And it's all her fault. She'd make me finish all the soups she didn't like. I think I've drunk more soups than she did. Of course, I got fatter.

Kelly was standing at the staircase, watching the interaction between the two families. She didn't even want to get close to them. Adam only cared about Kendall, and her real family was only nice to Kendall. I know I haven't been nice to them, but I'm their daughter. They could at least be more patient with me.

When Kelly was about to help Charlotte out in the kitchen, Sally stood up and called out to her, "Kelly."

There was anticipation in Sally's eyes. Well, since she's called me, I guess I've got to head over, or else it might seem rude. Kelly then approached her mother. "You're here," she said formally. She didn't even call Sally 'Mom.'

No matter what she did, she couldn't do it. Kendall could easily call both Charlotte and Sally that. That brazen, glib-tongued b*tch. She's buttering everyone up.

"Yes, we've just arrived. Are you alright, Kelly? You've lost a lot of weight. Don't push yourself too hard. And you should remember to eat, okay?" Sally looked at Kelly with worry in her eyes. No matter how harsh Kelly was on her, Kelly still was her daughter.

Kelly was a lot worse than Kendall. Kendall looked rosy and healthy. Obviously, she was taken care of. Kelly, however, looked sallow. Perhaps it was because she hadn't been resting well. And Kelly doesn't look too healthy. She looks… listless, I would say.
