Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 574

"Kendall, come. Try this. If it tastes good, I'll ask the maids to make it for you once every few days lest you grow

tired of it. They will prepare different dishes for your breakfast too."

"I'm sure it tastes good." Kendall had been buttering her man up every single day. Now, there was another person

added to her list—Tilly.

Under everyone's loving gaze, Kendall tried the breakfast prepared at Tilly's request. It was to Kendall's liking.

Acting as fair as possible, she had some of each soup. She did not wish to upset anyone.

Still, she could not finish all of them. She had a hearty appetite, but she was not a food fighter. The elders did not

request her to finish them all either. Now that she had tasted every bowl of those soups, they walked away

contentedly.

Only Tilly and Emily remained. It was understandable that Emily stayed; she had the right to advise that the others

couldn't as Kendall's mother-in-law.

Meanwhile, Kendall proffered the remaining soup to Dylan. He could not be left out of the elders' love and care

Kendall received.

He's the one who got me pregnant! So, we must enjoy blessings and endure misfortune together.

"Kendall," Emily called. "You're pregnant. Though it hasn't been long, it is a critical period. It's easy for a miscarriage

to happen in the first three months, so you gotta look after yourself. You shouldn't push yourself too hard. There's a

lot to be mindful of too.

"You and Dylan are still young, and it's your first time being a parent. I'm worried that the baby is hurt because of

your lack of knowledge. So, why not stay here for the period? And, Dylan, you should behave for the next few

months," Emily warned Dylan sternly.

Hearing that halfway through the soup, Dylan jerked his head at his mother with his deep eyes. Does that mean...

No more sex life?! Alas, it's the start of my celibacy journey, I fear!

At the sight of his pleading eyes, Tilly became serious too. "Dylan, your mother is right. You shouldn't annoy Kendall

for the next few months. Rather, you gotta give her extra care and attention. It's for Kendall's and the baby's sake."

"Grandma, Mom, I'm not that kind of a tactless husband." He would gladly go celibate for the sake of their baby.

He intended to ask Ronnie to buy him some books on pregnancy. He was wet behind ears in terms of becoming a

father and taking care of a pregnant woman. Although there were many people in the family he could refer to—

even Amos was more experienced than he was, he wished to take care of his beloved wife on his own. He would

like to watch his baby grow little by little.

All he had to do was to learn what he did not know.

"Grandma, Mom, Dylan and I have discussed work. I will continue working unless I'm tired or nausea gets terrible."

Kendall paused momentarily. "Things between Kelly and I are in the heat at the moment. Back when she was

pregnant, my father wanted her to handle a subsidiary in Albarife, but she refused. She was afraid that her

departure would lead to changes in the Parker Corporation. And I feel the same too. I don't want that to become

reality while I'm resting at home."

Dad is in good shape; he can bear another twenty years at most as long as his health allows. However, Kendall was

worried that the same bad ending from her previous life would reenact.

What if Kelly took the risk by laying her hands on Mom and Dad when I was taking a break? Even if I could probably

reclaim the family business with the Colemans' help some other day, I do not wish for such an incident to happen.

Her rebirth made her realize that some things were bound to happen no matter what; they would not change

regardless of her rebirth.

"Grandma, Mom, we are looking forward to the baby's arrival. I will be extra careful to keep the unborn baby safe."

The married couple did not plan to have a baby that soon. It was because Kendall found out that Dylan was that

baby's father, hence the wish to bring that life back. That was why they forwent birth control.

She thought it would take a long time before she conceived a baby!

Emily and Tilly exchanged glances before Tilly said gently, "Since you've made up your mind, I won't say much. You

should start preparing for your wedding."

Dylan hurriedly requested, "Grandma, can we hand over the wedding to you and Mom and Dad? The weather is

scorching hot these days. It's better to have it on the solstice."

Winter in Albarife was bearable. The temperature would stay 60°F on average and 46.4°F at the lowest. Thus, the

solstice was equivalent to autumn to the Northern people; it was neither cold nor hot.

Dylan was worried that his beloved wife would melt away because of the hot weather.

Emily smiled. "Okay. We all the time in the world anyways. We can help you guys with the preparations. Don't worry.

I'll make sure it's a grand wedding."

It would be a stable period for Kendall to attend a wedding when solstice came. She could put on a wedding dress

without much problem since her belly wouldn't bulge yet.

"Thank you," said Kendall gratefully.

"What is there to thank for? We cannot be anymore happier to be a part of such good news! There hasn't been a

celebration since Alice's birth. It's been decades. The wedding has to be a big one. We'll send waves to everyone in

town." Everyone in the city shall give their blessings to the newlyweds.

After the meal, Dylan headed to the room to take out the dowry list which he enumerated previously. He had yet to

fall for Kendall when they first registered their marriage. Thus, the gifts were devoid of sincerity despite the

expensiveness.

When he gradually grew fond of her, he began to add new items to the list until the total worth of the list exceeded

a hundred fifty million as of today.

Such an astronomical figure was enough to tell Kendall's place in his heart.

Dylan handed over the papers to Tilly. "Grandma, I wrote this dowry list. Just add anything you see fit."

She glossed it over and hummed. "There's still room to add some. It's not enough."

At the same time, Kendall fell silent looking at that long list. Although she did not read everything, she could guess

how much it would cost to have those things totaled up. Her man would never upset her in any way.

Forget about the fortune inherited from Coleman Empire Holdings, Dylan personally owned a lot of assets. Kendall

could not even count all of them! The only thing she knew was that it would take her a few lifetimes to spend all of

his money.
