Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 577

Laura dared not recount the whole situation explicitly, hence the hint. It was up to Kendall if she could catch on to it.

It's not my fault if you fail to take the hint. I tried, Laura thought.

"Is Miss Coleman home?" Laura veered the subject.

"Yeah, she is. Do you wanna see her?"

"Previously, she dropped by our boutique for a gown, but none of them was to her liking. So, I brought over some

designs for her." She rose from her seat. "May I see her?"

Unless they were close acquaintances or came from an influential family, guests were prohibited from wandering

around the Coleman Residence as they fancied.

Eric and his family had the liberty to walk around the place, but still, their decent upbringing refrained them from

laying their foot wherever they liked.

"Mr. Miller," beckoned Dylan, and Amos soon came up to them.

"Mr. Miller, please ask someone to take Miss Evans to Ally."

"Yes. This way, Miss Evans." Amos politely led the way for Laura.

Laura gazed at Dylan deeply before wheeling around to follow Amos. Once the guest left, Kendall informed Emma,

"Emma, let's shoot off to the airport now. Mr. Gould and the others should be there soon."

Emma had been quiet the whole time. As long as it was none of her business and no one mentioned her, she would

always remain silent. After all, she worked for Dylan for years, so she was steadier than most of the secretaries.

"Miss Finley, please watch the speed on the way there. And don't let Kendall take the wheel," urged Dylan when he

sent the women off. He was worried that Kendall might convince Emma to let her get behind the wheel. Due to

Kendall's love for speeding, Dylan would rather not take the risk to let her drive while she was pregnant.

"Understood." Emma was close with Kendall, so she more or less knew the reason behind the prohibition.

Kendall's two bodyguards naturally tagged along. After leaving the house, Emma smiled at Kendall. "Look how

worried he is. It's just a meeting with a business partner and yet, he asked you not to drive and have two

bodyguards by your side."

Kendall looked back at the bodyguards' car that followed closely behind them. "I can fight, but he has the knack of

having bodyguards around me. It's his way of showing his concern. What else can I do?"

Emma laughed it off. "You just don't know how blessed you are. Everyone wishes to have the life you have right

now."

Kendall chuckled. "I'm aware of that. But I can't do anything about it. Dylan promised me that I won't need to be

envious of others because he will make the others envious of me. He's a man of his word."

"PDA, PDA."

"It is what it is. You want it too? Get yourself a partner then! How are things going on between you and Roger? He's

not bad—just a little too conservative. But that is his charm too. I think he's an outstanding man. If I must point out

his shortcomings, that will be his background, which is that he comes from the countryside. Perhaps some people

can't accept that."

"I'm totally fine with that," claimed Emma, her eyes on the road. "My parents might be concerned, but once they

know him better, I think they won't mind it either. No, why am I stretching this further? Roger and I aren't a thing

yet."

It's way too early to talk about meeting the parents right now.

Kendall giggled. "You should enjoy how it feels like to have someone trying to win your heart. Decide only after you

have a taste of being doted on. I won't ask you to accept him just because he's my brother. Marriage is a lifetime

commitment. There should be mutual feelings and deep connections. That's what makes a happy marriage."

"I know." Emma was aware of Kendall and Dylan's tactfulness. Although she did not know Roger that well since it

had not been long since they first met, it was a decent encounter so far.

"What about Mr. Gleeson?" Kendall brought up Liam.

The smile on Emma's face faded a little. "There was never a start between us, so there had never been an ending

for us too. It was all my one-sided feeling and wishing thinking. I became the laughingstock in the company just for

him, but he never took my side. Since he wants me to give up, I'd rather have it his way then."

It was never easy to warm one's heart up when one was once disappointed in the bones.

"Well, he is now aware of his feelings, and he's trying his best to woo you. You mustn't let your past feelings cloud

your judgment. You gotta give my brother a chance."

Emma felt helpless too. "I'm not biased. I've been hanging out with Roger these days."

Just how ironic it was to see Liam clinging onto her. Besides work, Emma basically devoted her time to him. Yet, he

could not let her be when she decided to leave.

"Emma, even if you choose Liam instead of Roger in the end, I hope you won't forgive Liam that easily. He won't

appreciate your feelings if you open up to him that quickly."

Emma smiled sheepishly. "I bet Mr. Gleeson will be livid if he heard that."

In fact, Liam was already hot under his collar thanks to his supervisor and friend, who assigned Emma to Kendall. It

was literally doing Roger a favor!

"He deserves it." Kendall then softened her voice. "You and Amy are my besties. Your love lives are worrying me.

I'm happy, and I wish the same for the people around me too."

Emma's situation was better because of Roger and Liam's sincerity for her. Amelia and Frank's situation was

relatively worrisome. Kendall did not intend to be the middle person, but unfortunately, she was.

Frank obviously had feelings for Amelia. The fact that he met Dylan was enough to tell that he was serious about it.

Although Frank was undeniably the main culprit to make Kendall and Dylan sleep together during the previous life,

and therefore Kendall resented him, Kendall chose to hope the best for her friend once she found out about

Amelia's feelings for him. There was a dilemma before she made up her mind, of course.

Amelia had sacrificed a lot for Kendall. As long as Frank could treat Amelia well by giving her happiness, Kendall

could put the resentment behind her for this lifetime.

Still, she would never treat Frank any better. Even if he and Amelia went out together, she would not be able to

bear the sight of him in Coleman Residence.

Amelia was aware of Kendall's attitude toward Frank. Perchance, that was one of the reasons behind Amelia's

hesitation.

"It's been a while since I saw Jane and Amelia. I wonder what they're up to."

"Jane returned home, and Yoseph followed all the way to her place. As for Amy… I'm not sure either." Kendall never

inquired about Amelia and Frank's progress.
