Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 26

Without looking at Jackson, Kendall answered, "Mr. Whittle, this is a matter between Dylan and me, so it's none of your business. Please don't meddle in our matter and go back to where you came from."

"Kendall," Jackson softly called as he looked at her gently. Then, he coaxed, "Kendall, I know you're still angry at me. I'm sorry I was too busy and paid little attention to you. When we return, I'll bring you out shopping for jewelry as compensation."

As he reached out to grab Kendall's hand, Jackson added, "Kendall, come home with me."

However, Kendall coldly slapped his hand away. "Mr. Whittle, can't you understand what I've just said? Just leave already!"

"Kendall!" Jackson shouted while looking at her disbelievingly.

He came all the way to the Coleman Mansion to bring her home, but she was both rude and distant to him.

What had he done wrong for her to change so drastically?

"Master Dylan, I'm sorry that you had to see this. Kendall and I are having a small misunderstanding," Jackson apologized with a flushed face and secretly blamed Kendall for embarrassing him in front of Dylan.

Dylan, on the other hand, felt interested and questioned, "What misunderstanding are you two having?

Also, who are you to come here and bring her home?"

"It's… a very small misunderstanding. Master Dylan, Kendall and I are engaged, and our families are currently selecting a date for our engagement banquet. Until then, we hope that you will be able to attend my and Kendall's engagement banquet."

"Jackson, what nonsense are you talking about? Who did you say was your fiancée?"

After listening to Jackson's words, Kendall felt her blood boil and she looked over at her husband, who was also looking at her with an ambiguous smile. Although Dylan wasn't as cold as he usually was, his behavior made Kendall's heart sink as she wished that he was his usual cold self.

"I understand. Please inform me when you and Ms. Parker are getting engaged. Then, I'll bring a large gift to congratulate you and attend the banquet."

Hearing Dylan's answer made Jackson both shocked and uncontrollably happy. He wasn't expecting Dylan to agree when he casually announced his and Kendall's engagement, and he was shocked when Dylan agreed.

"Mr. Whittle, please leave if there's nothing else you need to say. I would like to continue watching the sunset." Surprisingly, Dylan was still acting polite with Jackson as he turned to look at Kendall before announcing, "I have a debt to settle with Ms. Parker, so I brought her back here to be my free personal nanny as a way for her to pay her debt."

Bowing politely, Jackson agreed, "Of course, debts should be paid. She should be your free nanny and repay her debt if she doesn't have money to pay. This is the way things should be."

As Kendall listened, she wondered how dumb she had been to fall in love with a man like Jackson. He always acted arrogantly before her, but was so polite to Dylan that he was like a bootlicker.

"Master Dylan, I'm sorry to have disturbed you enjoying the sunset. I'll leave now." Then, Jackson turned to Kendall and assured her, "Kendall, stay here and pay your debt. I'll come and bring you home after you're done."

"Just go!"

Kendall wasn't in the mood to say anything more, but Jackson was not angry. After bidding goodbye to Dylan a few more times, Jackson left with a spring in his step.

Once Jackson's car was out of sight, Dylan turned his head to glare at Kendall.

She hurriedly explained, "Dylan, I'm not engaged to him. I… Fine, I admit that I used to like him, but that's all in the past. I don't like him anymore, not even one bit."

The only feeling Kendall had for Jackson was hatred. She wanted to grow stronger to deal with Jackson and Kelly, and avenge her daughter.

"Lower your head."

"What are you going to do?" asked Kendall while she looked at Dylan warily. It was never something good whenever he asked her to lower her head or bend down.

"Don't make me repeat myself."

Although Kendall was angry, she couldn't win over Dylan, so she could only unwillingly lower her head.

After getting knocked on the forehead by Dylan's delicate and long fingers, she heard his cold voice entering her ear. "Muddlehead!"

How can she love a man like Jackson so much? Dylan grumbled to himself.

"Dylan, I—"

"Go back!" Dylan's mood changed in the blink of an eye, and he ordered her with a darkened expression and cold gaze. Even the words he said brought chills, making Kendall swallow the rest of her words.

And so, she quietly pushed Dylan's wheelchair and got ready to push him back, but he suddenly smacked her hand away.

Finally, she understood that he was telling her to head back inside.

"Dylan?" Kendall called out carefully. The bodyguards weren't with them, so who would push him back inside if she headed off?

"Go away!" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Pursing her lips, Kendall felt hurt and decided against saying anything before she quietly turned to leave.

She thought Dylan wanted her to return to her home and she kept walking forward. That was until she heard that heartless man growling coldly at her, "Who gave you permission to go back to your home?"

After that, she turned around to look at Dylan. Why couldn't he be clearer that he was ordering her to return to Coleman Mansion?

"I understand," replied Kendall. She gave up on returning to her home, turned to the side, and walked back to the Coleman Mansion.

Once her figure was out of sight, Dylan slammed his fist on his wheelchair twice and looked at his legs that couldn't walk before punching them twice.

D*mn it! Kendall said she would be responsible for me, but she is still holding onto Jackson after getting married!

At that moment, Dylan wasn't sure if he was angry at her or jealous.

Worried about Dylan being alone on the grassy field outside, Kendall found two bodyguards who were by Dylan's side and told them to head over and take care of him.

"Did you make Young Master Dylan angry?" asked one of the bodyguards.

"I don't know why he's angry. Maybe it's really my fault," Kendall answered.

She had some wrongdoings, but their traces couldn't be covered even if she had changed now.

The worried bodyguards hurriedly left without saying anything else.

As Kendall watched them leave, she had a feeling that she had troubled the two bodyguards.

Meanwhile, Dylan stayed outside for quite a long time. It was already dark when the bodyguards brought him back.

Kendall was waiting for him at his house, and when she saw him, she quickly went up and welcomed him with a smile. "Dylan, you're back!"

"Don't smile. If I see you smile again, I'll…" Dylan glared at her while he warned. Yet, she found that he couldn't vocalize the rest of his warning while looking at her sweet smile.

He was afraid that if he spoke too harshly, it would bite him back in the end!

"Push me inside."

"Okay."

Kendall quickly took over from the bodyguards and pushed him inside.

Once they were inside, Dylan told Kendall he wanted to return to his room and take a bath, and he specifically ordered her to help him take a bath. She was pushing him toward his room when she heard that order and was so shocked that she forgot to walk.

Then, she stammered, "D-Dylan, you want me to help you take a b-bath?"
