Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 287

Frank's regret was that he did not have the opportunity to hug the baby in his dream. In reality, he was determined

to embrace his baby daughter, watch her grow into a young woman, and hear her sweet voice call him "Dad."

It would undoubtedly be a blessing. However, Kendall was already Dylan's wife by law, making it difficult for him to

try to reclaim her.

Yasmine smiled. "It is easy for you to be a father, President Mendelson."

If he marries me, we can become parents next year.

He shook his head. No. It's hard.

Frank would have easily won her heart if Kendall hadn't been married to Dylan.

When Yasmine tried to persuade him on this topic twice, he remained silent. Frank was quiet for a moment as he

stared at the finished painting of the little baby on which he had worked for several days.

It was his daughter's portrait.

"President Mendelson, what happened to the back of your hand?" She noticed the scar on the back of his hand.

Although it had healed, it was obvious that he had been bitten.

He glanced at the back of his hand where Kendall had bitten him. It took quite some time to heal because Frank

had not applied any medication. His eyes glistened with conflicting feelings as he recalled the incident that morning.

He was obsessed with Kendall, who hated him; he desired to love and pamper her but was forbidden to approach

her without her consent.

He sighed. Kendall, just what shall I do with you?

Frank responded lightly, "It's nothing." He rolled up the drawing into a scroll while hiding the conflicting feelings in

his heart.

"Joshua," he exclaimed. Immediately upon his command, a bodyguard in a dark blue suit entered.

"Yes, Mr. Mendelson," Joshua greeted him respectfully.

"Help me frame it and hang it over there," Frank said as he handed the portrait to Joshua.

He pointed to a prominent spot. When Kendall came and saw it hanging there one day, she would undoubtedly feel

her heart softening. That was their child. He did not believe that she would be unaffected by it.

Kendall would have scolded him that he was are paranoid!

Frank only turned to face Yasmine when Joshua left with the drawing, as he was suddenly reminded of her

presence. "Miss Zorn, you've come. Please take a seat."

He led her to the couch and gestured for her to sit before calling for someone to prepare refreshments.

Frank's alluring eyes glistened as he observed the gifts she had brought with her. Mockery flashed across his

handsome face for a split second, but when she looked closer, he was utterly expressionless.

His mood swings are more severe than Young Master Dylan. She couldn't help but make comparisons between the

two men.

"Miss Zorn, what's the meaning of these? Someone might think you're sending matrimonial gifts," Frank teased her.

Jasmine responded with a smile, "If I were to send matrimonial gifts, I'd make sure they were enough to fill your

hall. I won't come alone. We'd have a big party with a lot of people to make you look good."

She continued before he could respond, "All jokes aside. President Mendelson, I'm waiting for you to send the

matrimonial gifts."

How could Frank agree to marry into her family when he was the head of the Mendelson Family? It was an excellent

thought if he was willing to marry her.

He smiled with a gentle chuckle, which Yasmine viewed as more of a mocking smile. "Miss Zorn, you are very

persistent."

When Yasmine had a crush on Dylan, she tolerated his treatment of her. The same thing happened with Frank, who

was now her new target.

Those men she had set her sights on turned out to be very unfortunate. How sincere could her feelings be if she

was only interested in their social status?

"President Mendelson, I think there's a misunderstanding between Zorn Holdings and Mendelson Group." Yasmine

did not forget about her brother's words.

"I'm in the mood for horseback riding, and I don't have a partner, so I'm wondering if you'd be willing to accompany

me on a weekend horseback riding outing." Frank was able to successfully brush aside the earlier discussion.

"It'll be my pleasure," Yasmine replied with a smile that was gracefully reserved.

He rose from his seat. "Let's go then, shall we?"

"Now?" She was stunned for a moment before rising to her feet and instinctively following him outside.

Frank didn't respond to her and left the luxurious hall before his footsteps halted at the door. He gestured for the

housekeeper and said, "Return all items brought by Miss Zorn back to Benjamin at their residence."

Yasmine was walking behind him and heard his words, which chilled her heart. She was shocked by how much Frank

knew about everything.

He invites me to a weekend holiday but refuses my gifts. Why? According to Benjamin, there is a conflict between

Zorn Holdings and Mendelson Group, and he desires a resolution. However, it appears that Frank has a different

opinion. No wonder Benjamin wants me to win Frank's affections.

…

Relax Hotel was a twelve-story hotel on the horse farm. Despite its simple name, it provided the services of a five-

star hotel.

On the first floor, in addition to the lobby, there was a buffet restaurant, coffee shops, a reading area, and other

amenities. Every single one of them was named after the word 'Relax.'

Despite its name, the place seemed ideal for anyone who wanted to unwind and indulge during the holidays while

enjoying a life of relaxation.

Dylan liked being up high so he could see more of his surroundings. So, he took Kendall to the presidential suite on

the top floor.

There were only two couples during mealtime, as most guests chose to dine at the buffet restaurant on the first

floor.

"Darling, are you used to eating alone even when you're outdoors?" Kendall queried as she served food on his

plate. "It is lively when more people are present. It will induce your appetite."

The food did not taste as good as it did when one ate alone.

He replied casually, "My appetite grows whenever you're with me."

After a brief pause, he added, "They'll be uneasy if I'm present. I believe you've noticed it. Even my brothers are

uncomfortable and respectful in front of me."

She pondered it, and he was right; everyone was having a good time before he went to the racetrack. But, they all

behaved cautiously once he arrived, including the boisterous Jane.

"I've informed Robert about your preference for sweet and sour food. Dig in. We should have some rest after this."

Dylan was subtly implying something.

Kendall's cheeks were flushed with redness. "Darling."

"Hmm."

"Should I take some contraceptive pills after that?"

He stopped what he was doing and looked at her with a sharp, cold look. It had been long since he had looked at

her like that.

"Don't you want to have children with me?"

"It has nothing to do with that. I love children, so why wouldn't I want them with you? "She tried to explain quickly. "I

just don't think now is a good time to have children."

Kendall was, after all, very busy now.
