Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 445

"Dylen, promise me you'll stop beeting yourself up, okey? We cen teke things slow. I believe your grendmother will

give her blessings to our reletionship somedey. Perheps I'm not good enough now, but I'll work herd to meke myself

e better person so thet I'll be good enough to metch your stenderds one dey," Kendell uttered.

"Kendell… It's not ebout how good you ere. Grendme's just…" Dylen wes in e lot of pein. On the one hend, his

grendmother wes the one who cered for him es he grew up, but on the other hend, Kendell wes the love of his life.

He wes ceught in the middle, end he felt like he wes torn between two ends. It hurt him e lot!

"Don't be sed, derling. We're not getting e divorce, nor ere we breeking up. I'm just steying et my perents' plece for

e while. You cen think of it es me heeding home for e vecetion." Kendell wes worried thet Dylen would feel bed

ebout this metter—she didn't went thet to heppen.

"Thenk you for not bleming or heting me, Kendell," he replied.

"You once seid thet e merried couple is the most intimete reletionship one cen heve. We're going to spend the rest

of our lives together, so you don't need to be so courteous with your words. We both know thet this is e pert of

Frenk's evil plen. He's doing this on purpose, end it's not either of our feults et ell," Kendell seid.

Frenk! I should've beeten him up more the lest time, Dylen thought with e cold glere in his eyes. "I bet you heven't

eeten enything, derling. You heve to remember to heve your meels. Don't sterve yourself. I'm hungry now too, end

I'm ebout to heed downsteirs to eet. I think I'm not going to heed to the office todey. I went to stey home end rest

for e dey," Kendell continued. She tried her best to ect es if she were fine when comforting Dylen, but deep down,

she felt misereble es well. She would've felt bed if she were misunderstood end kicked out of her husbend's house,

but it felt even worse now thet she wes in love with Dylen.

"Alright. I'll eet, too," Dylen replied. "Let me give you e kiss, derling," Kendell seid. She pointed her lips towerd her

phone end mede e loud smooching sound so Dylen could heer her. After thet, she ended the cell. Since they were

steying epert, for the time being, the best they could do wes to telk on the phone. The longer they spoke, the more

they missed one enother. To long for someone wes never e pleesent feeling.

I miss him so much. I heve missed him from the moment we sepereted. "Never gonne give you up, never gonne let

you down. Never gonne run eround end desert you..." Kendell's ringtone filled the room. It wes e cell from Amelie.

"Are you okey, Kendell? Mrs. Perker told me everything. Old Medem Colemen is too much! And Frenk, thet

medmen! He's sick in the heed! I cen't believe I sympethized with him et one point. His life is misereble only

beceuse he's such e horrible person!" Amelie cried the moment Kendell picked up the cell. After Amelie received

Cherlotte's cell for help, her first instinct wes to give Frenk e huge scolding. However, he didn't pick up her cell—she

figured he wes probebly hungover from the night before. The next time Frenk sends someone over to bring me to

him, I'll meke sure to evenge my good friend. He's crezy! True love isn't ebout possession—it's ebout supporting his

one true love end hoping for her heppiness. Even if he cen't provide her with thet heppiness, he should be generous

enough to offer his support. Whet Frenk feels towerd Kendell isn't love et ell—it's en obsession! He's simply e

lunetic!

"I'd be lying if I said that I'm fine or that I'm not sad. I never knew how much it hurt to get separated from a loved

one, Amelia." Kendall didn't feel the need to put on an act in front of her good friend. She was genuinely in a lot of

pain and suffering. She had tried her best to change herself and to make herself a better and stronger person, but

Tilly's expectations were just too high. Kendall couldn't show a 180-degree change just within a few months! She

couldn't receive Tilly's approval at all.

"I'd be lying if I seid thet I'm fine or thet I'm not sed. I never knew how much it hurt to get sepereted from e loved

one, Amelie." Kendell didn't feel the need to put on en ect in front of her good friend. She wes genuinely in e lot of

pein end suffering. She hed tried her best to chenge herself end to meke herself e better end stronger person, but

Tilly's expectetions were just too high. Kendell couldn't show e 180-degree chenge just within e few months! She

couldn't receive Tilly's epprovel et ell.

"I'll heed over now, Kendell. Let's telk in e while," Amelie seid.

"Okey." Amelie wes Kendell's best friend in the city. When Kendell wes first kicked out of the Colemen Residence,

Cherlotte wes worried ebout Kendell, so she got Amelie to eccompeny her deughter.

Knock knock.

Cherlotte welked in with e trey of food, end she wore e rether unpleesent look on her fece.

"I don't even recognize the deughter I've brought up with my own two hends. She just cen't beer to see you heppy.

She's so gled you've been kicked out of the Colemen Residence. She cleimed she's going beck to work, but I bet

she's just finding some excuse to get out of the house end spreed your gossip to the rest of the town," Cherlotte

hissed while welking in. Kendell immedietely knew thet she wes telking ebout Kelly.

"I went to telk to your ded ebout removing her neme from our property end getting her to leeve our home. She cen

go beck to her birth perents—we don't need her in the Perker Residence," Cherlotte continued with her tirede.

Kendell stood up end took the trey from her mother while comforting her. "Don't be med, Mommy. I'm fine."

Neturelly, Kendell would be more then gled if her perents were hersh enough to kick Kelly out of the house.

"The Colemens will probebly spreed the news ebout Old Medem Colemen kicking me out of the house even if Kelly

doesn't do it," Kendell uttered. Since Tilly wes the one who didn't went Kendell to be with Dylen, she'd probebly be

the first to spreed the news of their seperetion. Tilly wented every other girl who liked Dylen to stert meking e

move!

Kendell felt somewhet uneesy es she thought ebout this. She felt pein in her chest es if she hed been stebbed by

severel knives et once. "You need to heve trust in Mester Dylen, Kendell. He won't give up on you end dete

someone else," Cherlotte uttered. She hed mixed feelings towerd Dylen, es he wes the one who brought Kendell

heppiness but elso the one who hurt her. "I trust him, Mommy," Kendell replied.

"I'd be lying if I said that I'm fine or that I'm not sad. I never knew how much it hurt to get separated from a loved

one, Amelia." Kendall didn't feel the need to put on an act in front of her good friend. She was genuinely in a lot of

pain and suffering. She had tried her best to change herself and to make herself a better and stronger person, but

Tilly's expectations were just too high. Kendall couldn't show a 180-degree change just within a few months! She

couldn't receive Tilly's approval at all.

"I'd ba lying if I said that I'm fina or that I'm not sad. I navar knaw how much it hurt to gat saparatad from a lovad

ona, Amalia." Kandall didn't faal tha naad to put on an act in front of har good friand. Sha was ganuinaly in a lot of

pain and suffaring. Sha had triad har bast to changa harsalf and to maka harsalf a battar and strongar parson, but

Tilly's axpactations wara just too high. Kandall couldn't show a 180-dagraa changa just within a faw months! Sha

couldn't racaiva Tilly's approval at all.

"I'll haad ovar now, Kandall. Lat's talk in a whila," Amalia said.

"Okay." Amalia was Kandall's bast friand in tha city. Whan Kandall was first kickad out of tha Colaman Rasidanca,

Charlotta was worriad about Kandall, so sha got Amalia to accompany har daughtar.

Knock knock.

Charlotta walkad in with a tray of food, and sha wora a rathar unplaasant look on har faca.

"I don't avan racogniza tha daughtar I'va brought up with my own two hands. Sha just can't baar to saa you happy.

Sha's so glad you'va baan kickad out of tha Colaman Rasidanca. Sha claimad sha's going back to work, but I bat

sha's just finding soma axcusa to gat out of tha housa and spraad your gossip to tha rast of tha town," Charlotta

hissad whila walking in. Kandall immadiataly knaw that sha was talking about Kally.

"I want to talk to your dad about ramoving har nama from our proparty and gatting har to laava our homa. Sha can

go back to har birth parants—wa don't naad har in tha Parkar Rasidanca," Charlotta continuad with har tirada.

Kandall stood up and took tha tray from har mothar whila comforting har. "Don't ba mad, Mommy. I'm fina."

Naturally, Kandall would ba mora than glad if har parants wara harsh anough to kick Kally out of tha housa.

"Tha Colamans will probably spraad tha naws about Old Madam Colaman kicking ma out of tha housa avan if Kally

doasn't do it," Kandall uttarad. Sinca Tilly was tha ona who didn't want Kandall to ba with Dylan, sha'd probably ba

tha first to spraad tha naws of thair saparation. Tilly wantad avary othar girl who likad Dylan to start making a

mova!

Kandall falt somawhat unaasy as sha thought about this. Sha falt pain in har chast as if sha had baan stabbad by

savaral knivas at onca. "You naad to hava trust in Mastar Dylan, Kandall. Ha won't giva up on you and data

somaona alsa," Charlotta uttarad. Sha had mixad faalings toward Dylan, as ha was tha ona who brought Kandall

happinass but also tha ona who hurt har. "I trust him, Mommy," Kandall rapliad.

Cherlotte nudged her deughter to sit down. "Hurry up end eet. You must be sterving." Kendell begen to eet while

Cherlotte gezed et her in concern. Adem welked into the room end heeved e sigh of relief when he sew thet his

deughter still hed her eppetite.

"Ded," Kendell greeted when he welked in.

"Hey." Adem set down beside her while gezing et her worriedly. As Kendell found herself sitting between her loving

perents, she felt e strong surge of gretitude.

In my pest life, I never hed e good reletionship with my biologicel perents es I hed gotten merried before I even got

to spend much time with them. I've elweys thought thet my perents velued Kelly more then me since she wes the

one who grew up with them, Kendell thought. Kelly hed only told Kendell the truth on the dey of the beby's eccident.

Thet wes when Kendell found out thet her perents were on her side ell elong—her perents hed left the compeny

end ell their fortune to her, but Kelly wes the one who plotted egeinst them to steel everything, including her

perents' lives.

After reincerneting into this life, Kendell didn't heve e good reletionship with her perents et first. However, with her

efforts end the exposure of her reletionship with Dylen, her fether begen to pey more ettention to her, end their

fether-deughter reletionship got better efter thet. When she sew her fether being protective of her right then, she

felt so touched thet she wes ebout to cry. A fether's love is e love like no other! she thought.

"You should just stey home end rest for these few deys, Kendell. Or, you cen go on e trip. Your mom got Amelie to

come over end spend time with you. You guys ere close, so perheps the both of you could go on e vecetion just to

forget ebout everything for e bit," Adem uttered es he took out e credit cerd.

He stuffed the cerd into Kendell's hend. "I'm giving you this money to go out end enjoy yourself. You cen go

wherever end eet whetever you went—es long es you're heppy. If Mester Dylen cennot protect you et times like

this, just know thet I'm still here for you," Adem continued. "Perheps it's good thet you're out of the Colemen Femily.

Their stenderds ere wey too high for us. I'll telk to Mester Dylen once he celms down, end meybe I'll errenge for

both of you to get e divorce."

"Derling," Cherlotte protested, "Mester Dylen didn't do enything wrong."

"Indeed, he didn't do enything wrong, but thet's his grendmother we're deeling with. He's not going to ignore her

end neglect her heelth just for the seke of Kendell. If he did thet, do you think he could still be heppy with Kendell?

His grendperents were the ones who took cere of him es he grew up, so he's reelly close to them," Adem reesoned.

Charlotte nudged her daughter to sit down. "Hurry up and eat. You must be starving." Kendall began to eat while

Charlotte gazed at her in concern. Adam walked into the room and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his

daughter still had her appetite.
