Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 327

Amos understood at once and grinned. "Indeed, the soup will help. I'll make another trip to the kitchen myself, then. Do you want to keep this a secret, Young Master?"

"There's no need for that. Best that you can let everyone hear you."

Amos was stumped for a second before realizing what Dylan's true intentions were.

As if the young master actually needed to replenish his energy. He was merely using the soup to let the elders know that they needn't worry, for he was doing just fine.

"However, don't disclose it to the public just yet. That will have to wait until Kendall's really pregnant."

"Understood."

Out of the blue, Amos reminded, "Young Master, your birthday's coming up."

Dylan was born on Valentine's Day, and it was said that those born on the day of romance were lovestruck fellows, loyal to the ones they loved.

"That's still a month away."

Dylan wasn't a man of festivity, and he never held any sort of parties to celebrate his birthdays either. If anything, it would just be a celebration over a meal with family, for he wasn't one for excitement.

"We can already start making the arrangements," said Amos with a smile.

He'd have to remind the young mistress about this. After all, she had to make the preparations.

"Just do what we usually do," said Dylan plainly. "No need to hold a party of any sorts. It gets really noisy."

"Young Master Dylan, who rules the roost between you and Young Mistress Kendall?"

Dylan fell silent for a moment before answering, "Kendall has the final say here in my place."

"That's good."

Dylan took a gander at Amos in response and found the man grinning, but he no longer continued the birthday topic.

Then again, his beloved spending his birthday with him would be a delightful idea. As such, Dylan relaxed his brows and made nothing of Amos' nosiness.

The weather in summer was like a child's mood, changing however it pleased.

Alas, just when it was bright and sunny at around 9.30AM, a storm came not a few minutes after.

"Thank heavens for the rain. It's been so hot lately that I thought I was going to melt," Jessie blurted to Kendall as she looked at the storm outside the window.

Meanwhile, Kendall had just ended a call with Scott.

The little guy wouldn't need to go to school since his summer break had begun.

He called her jubilantly, saying that he wanted to persuade Eric to let him 'seek shelter' with her with his kiddie luggage, vowing that he wanted to be with her all summer break.

Kendall was amused. She didn't mind that the child came, but she still had to work and wouldn't have the time to look after him.

Besides, Dylan was a possessive guy. Even if Scott was just a three-year-old, he was still a male in Dylan's eyes, and for that, the child was forbidden from clinging to her.

"It has been hot. Looks like it's quite a storm out there."

Ring, ring, ring… Jessie's intercom rang just then, which she answered in two shakes before making a call to Cameron, telling her that Adam wanted to see Kelly.

Cameron and the others began resigning one after the other after apologizing to Kendall, and they were now in the midst of handing over their work to others. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

As Kelly was used to having Cameron as her secretary, she was displeased when she was forced to change to a new secretary so suddenly. Because of this, the new secretary was quite apprehensive, braced for the fact that her boss would give her a hard time.

After ending the call, Jessica turned to Kendall. "Kendall, President Parker wants to see you too."

"Oh, okay." With that, Kendall went over.

She couldn't help guessing her father's purpose for calling her and Kelly into his office at the same time.

Kendall knocked on Adam's office door before entering. "You wanted to see me, President Parker?"

Adam hummed a response but didn't look up at his daughter, only saying softly, "Take a seat first."

"Okay."

Kendall walked up to the desk and sat across from him.

Seeing the piled-up documents in front of her father, she felt somewhat terrible. Though she had been doing her best since her first day at work, she still couldn't help him deal with these documents even until now.

"You've familiarized yourself with the company's operations, haven't you?" Adam asked while dealing with the documents.

"I have. At the very least, I'm no longer at a loss for what to do compared to my first few days here."

"I'm well aware of the effort you've put in. Why don't you start following me out for business engagements tomorrow? I'll let you do it independently after you've gained enough experience. I can only rightfully transfer you to a different position after you've proven to everyone what you've got."

"Okay." Kendall didn't oppose the idea. "I can even follow you now."

While she shared an office with Jessie, she was also her father's assistant, so she naturally knew his everyday schedule; he'd be leaving to meet a client later that day.

Adam looked up at her daughter with a smile. She sure had changed a lot in the last one and a half months.

"You still need to tell Dylan about it."

Seeing that the couple's love was growing increasingly stable, Adam thought he could now let go and have Kendall learn to manage Parker Corporation; there was no need to deliberately free up some time for her to strengthen her relationship with Dylan.

Kendall blushed in response. "I can just tell him over the phone."

But after some thinking, she changed her mind. "Actually, we should start tomorrow. I promised to have lunch with Dylan later."

Adam smiled. "Try and spend some time with your mother too—even if it's just over a meal."

"I will."

"Have your in-laws been good to you lately?"

Since Kelly had yet to show up, Adam put his work aside and took the chance to check up on Kendall's situation with the Colemans.

"I'm busy with work and don't really spend a lot of time at home, so I seldom interact with them," Kendall said honestly. "I guess you can say they don't really like me."

Adam hummed a response, seemingly pondering for a moment before finally speaking up. "Though you and Dylan have already made your relationship public, there's still no news from the Colemans. Your mother's very concerned about it. Knowing your mother's temper, she'd have long called off the marriage had it not been for Dylan."

When Kendall was unwilling to marry Dylan, the Colemans came proposing a marriage, specifically asking for Kendall's hand in marriage on behalf of Dylan.

But now that she was married to Dylan, the elder Colemans began despising her. Even until now, both families rarely interacted with each other.

As concerned as Adam and Charlotte were about this, they were hell-bent on waiting for the Colemans to come to them about the marriage.

"Dylan has long been preparing the betrothal gifts."

Adam looked brokenhearted at his daughter. "This isn't about the betrothal gifts, Kendall. It's that the Colemans made no stance about this. Both families should at least meet each other, don't you think so?"

Kendall pursed her lips. She knew it was because Emily and Tilly despised her.

"I'll remind Dylan about this later. Don't do anything about this, lest your relationship with your mother- in-law and grandmother-in-law worsens."

Kendall hummed a response. It was indeed better that Dylan pressed his parents about this.

Plus, even if she brought this up, the elders wouldn't give a d*mn.

"Dad, Dylan's pretty busy too, and he often has to take time off from work to help me. Plus, things are pretty tense between him and his parents because of me. So…" She was worried that her father was still blaming Dylan for it.

"I know. I didn't say it's his fault." Adam smiled. "To be honest with you, your mom and I are pretty scared to face him."

Adam was well aware of how well Dylan treated Kendall. He believed that this man wouldn't mistreat his daughter.
