Kendall's Sacrifice

Kendall giggled at that.

It just wasn't in her genes to put on weight.

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

As soon as her phone rang, Adam and Charlotte gawked at each other as they seemed to realize something.

Kendall continued to ignore the couple looking at each other and quickly accepted the call. It was a call from Amelia.

She remembered how she told Amelia she would tell her about her love story with Dylan, but she had been so busy she hadn't fulfilled her promise.

As soon as she answered the phone, she didn't even wait for Amelia to speak as she hurriedly tried to suck up to her. "Amy!" She laughed. "I was about to call you to ask if you are free at noon to have lunch together, but you called before I did! No wonder we are besties! Our hearts are one."

"I am free anytime. You are the busy bee who only gets busier each day. You can't even do as you promised."

"Oh come one, I really am sorry. I forgot because it has been so hectic. I will make it up to you. Let's have lunch together for real, and go on a vacation to the horse farm with me tomorrow. Let me hear you laugh. Don't be mad, my little chunky monkey Amy."

Kendall's buttering up to Amelia made the latter laugh. "I am not holding you accountable or anything. I called to ask you out to lunch as well. Alright, then. Now go get busy. I will be out of your hair. See you at our spot."

"Alright, see you there. But you have to pick me up. I can't drive now."

Kendall had agreed to it when Dylan forbade her from driving.

After finishing the call, Kendall stuck out her tongue playfully when she saw her parents looking at her. She confessed, "I didn't do something I promised Amelia I would."

"Amelia will understand," Charlotte comforted her.

Even though there were many people in their circle who did not like Amelia, Charlotte was grateful for her because she was the one who really accepted Kendall.

Amelia had never once complained about how Kendall grew up in the countryside.

"Are you not coming home on the weekend? You are heading to a horse farm? Which one are you going to?"

Charlotte had thought that her daughter would be back to their home since it was the weekend.

"Sorry, Mommy. I have plans this weekend. Dylan said he will take me to their horse farm to ride a horse. He'll even invite his friends." In a way, he was officially bringing her into his world, and letting her get acquainted with his people.

Charlotte let out a sigh at that. "A married daughter is just like water that has been poured—she doesn't belong to her parents anymore. You have given your whole heart to your husband."

"I am sorry, Mommy." Kendall was also aware that she had been neglecting her birth mother these days. "I will definitely be home with you next weekend. Let's stay in and enjoy our mother-daughter time."

Adam chose that moment to chime in, "As her parents, we should be happy about the fact that she has a good relationship with Master Dylan. How come you are getting jealous over your son-in-law instead?

"Kendall, ignore Mommy. She always wants everyone's attention on her and her only."

Hearing that, Kendall hurriedly commented, "Daddy, don't say that about Mommy. She is only worried."

Adam was always trying to flatter Dylan whenever he could.

The intercom chose that moment to ring.

It seemed as though the family of three's conversations were always interrupted.

Kendall then continued to drink the soup filled with motherly love.

Charlotte, on the other hand, gazed at her husband out of habit. She then saw Adam pick up the phone and quickly hang it up before he turned to the women, "Honey, Kendall, I will need you to hide for a bit. President Zorn is heading here."

Curious about who it was that she and her daughter needed to avoid, Charlotte asked, "Which 'President Zorn' is it?"

"It is the head of Zorn Holdings, Benjamin Zorn from the Zorn Family."

Charlotte was obviously surprised to hear that, and she quickly followed up, "Why is he here? Has the sun risen from the west? He surely has bad intentions for coming here."

Everyone in Orapolis knew that Yasmine fancied Dylan.

Now that Kendall had gotten married to Dylan, Yasmine would surely see Kendall as her enemy.

And to make things worse, the Zorn brothers who doted on their sister would definitely avenge her.

Even though Charlotte didn't care much about matters pertaining to the Parker Corporation, she would sometimes still ask about the company.

She knew that there were a few projects her husband was invested in that had almost ended up being snatched away by Zorn Holdings.

If it wasn't because Dylan had officially announced his marriage to Kendall, the Parker Corporation would have suffered terrible loss if the Zorns had taken those projects away.

That wasn't the worst case scenario. THe Parker Corporation might even get in trouble with the media like Thompson Enterprise did, and be brought to ruins by other companies in the industry.

In Orapolis, the Colemans, the Zorns and the Mendelsons were the trend setters of the businessworld.

"Doesn't matter if he has ill or good intentions; I am not scared of him. It is just that it might not end well if he were to see Kendall having soup

here."

There was no way Adam would be afraid of Benjamin when he had Dylan as his son-in-law.

Adam had always held a grudge against Benjamin for stepping in and stealing his projects. He had lost so much time and resources because of the Zorns.
