Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 136

As Kelly abruptly raised her head to meet Jackson's gaze, she felt chills. It was true that she loved

Jackson and she never doubted his feelings for her, but she discovered that he also had a dark side.

The two looked at each other for a brief moment before she softly inquired, "Can you really promise not

to lay a finger on Krystal? Will you really marry me someday? Will you assist me with my plan?"

"Without a doubt."

Jackson wrapped her hands in his and said sweetly, "Kelly, we've been on the same boat since the

beginning. I can't get off the boat and so can't you. We can only reach the shore if we go forward

together."

"You have to keep our relationship a secret."

After a brief pause, he responded, "Are you seeing Brian as your safety net? He is indeed more

outstanding than I am and he outperforms me in every way. Everyone else will say you're blind for not

choosing him."

"No." Kelly refused to admit it.

"Jackson, you are aware of my feelings for you. You can't question me like this by claiming that Brian is

better than you. If I wanted to choose him, I would have been with him long ago. You already knew I

was innocent from our moment just now."

Jackson gave her a gentle glance. "You're right; I'm just suspicious, but I won't doubt you any longer."

After chatting for a while, Kelly was ready to go home.

"Will you stay for the night, Kelly?" Jackson asked reluctantly. They had just done the most intimate

thing a husband and wife could do. Why not invite her to spend the night?

She gently pushed his hand away from him and said, "I need to return home before my parents

become concerned about me. I have to go to work tomorrow as well." Once again, she turned around

to hug him and kiss him on the cheek before saying tenderly, "Jackson, let's meet again when you're

free on the weekend. I'm very busy these days, so I'm taking a few days off to catch up on my

overwhelming work. You must properly handle Whittle Holdings' crisis."

"You used to say you'd make me the most honorable woman in Orapolis, so you have to work extra

hard. Only when the Whittles catch up to the Colemans would I be able to claim the title of the most

respected woman." Otherwise, Kelly would be overwhelmed by the women from those upper-class

wealthy families.

Jackson said to her as he waved her off, "Kelly, I promise you'll get there. One day, I will make you the

most honorable woman in Orapolis and have everyone be jealous of you. Kendall won't even worth a

dime by then."

She laughed at his promise as if she was going to be the most honorable woman in Orapolis.

"Drive carefully and text me when you get home." He helped her to open the car door and watched her

get into the car while reminding her. She then drove away thereafter.

Jackson was left standing at the entrance of the villa as he watched her car leave. He did not turn

around until the car disappeared from his sight.

Twenty minutes later, Kelly returned to Parker's Villa.

Since it was the weekend, Adam did not have to socialize, so he spent his time out and about with his

wife and they had not returned yet. Kelly sighed with relief when she realized her adoptive parents

were not home as well.

She dashed into her room and locked it before running into the bathroom. Then, she filled the bathtub

with water, sat in it and scrubbed her body aggressively. Tears of humiliation could not help but roll

down her cheek.

Jackson had taken her virginity, but he wanted to marry Krystal. She was no longer a virgin; she

wanted to be with Brian, but she was afraid that he would be disgusted by her…

Kelly lay in the bathtub while looking up at the ceiling, then muttered to herself, "Kelly, you think you're

so smart but you were duped by Jackson's trick. Now, you're being threatened by him and you're

nothing but a secret lover!"

She felt that her and Jackson's luck had gone bad after returning from the Colemans.

"Kendall!" Kelly gritted her teeth as she said, "The Parker's is mine! I have worked so hard to take over

the Parker Corporation and there's no way I'll let you take that away from me!"

…

"A-choo!" Kendall, who was in deep sleep, woke up with a sneeze and did not take it seriously.

However, the man beside her was quick to cover her with the sheets for the fear that she would catch a

cold from the air conditioner. He caressed her forehead and after confirming that her body temperature

was normal, Dylan then lay down at ease.

He stared at the ceiling for a while before closing his eyes, trying to make himself fall asleep again.

"Baby…" Kendall suddenly muttered to herself.

"Baby, give me a smile. Baby…" She was grinning hard as she called out 'baby'.

She had a dream in which she made the baby laugh. At six months, the baby was able to sit up. The

baby loved to laugh and her laugh was adorable.

When their eyes met, the baby would smile before reaching out with her arms for cuddles. She had

delicate features and anyone who saw her would say that she would be stunning when she grew up.

So, how could Jackson and Kelly be so callous as to kill this baby?

The scene in Kendall's dream abruptly changed and it became a scene of the baby being thrown to the

ground.

"Baby—" Kendall let out a piercing cry.

Only a mother could understand her fear and pain at that time; her eyes welled up and tears streamed

down her cheeks.

Dylan did not wake her up like he did the previous time. Instead, he stood there quietly watching her

laugh and cry. He soon heard her muttering to herself once more, "Dylan... If there is an afterlife, I will

most certainly marry you!"

He pursed his lips and had a mysterious but serene expression on his face when he heard that. He

understood why she wanted to marry him after her suicide attempt.

It turned out that she had a nightmare and he probably had helped her in her dream. Moreover, she

also stated that she married him because of his help and that was the only way she could repay him.

Kendall gradually calmed down and returned to her sound sleep. Dylan placed his hand gently on her

face to wipe away the tears. He then leaned forward to kiss the corner of her mouth softly and

whispered in her ear, "Kendall, whatever your reason may be, as long as you don't regret it, I won't

regret marrying you either."

"I hope your dreams are always beautiful and I wish to stay in them, forever bringing you joy and

nothing painful." He took her hands into his, tightly clasped her fingers and laughed, "I will hold your

hand and stay with you forever!"

The couple slept soundly for the remainder of the night. Kendall had no more nightmares and Dylan

was unconcerned about that lingering dream.

Suddenly, Kendall was startled awake by the rumbling thunder. She opened her eyes to find that it was

already bright outside. Despite the fact that the sky had brightened, it still felt gloomy as it was a rainy

day.

She turned to look at the man beside her and saw that he was still deep asleep. She sat up quietly and

about to get out of bed. At this moment, she turned to face him once more and a thought was ignited in

her head. What a waste of a chance if I don't take advantage of my lovely husband before he wakes

up!
