Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 134

As Old Madam Coleman wielded her anger with a slap on her thigh, she could not feel any sensation.

However, her precious granddaughter started to groan beside her.

"What's the matter with you, Ally?" she asked while suspiciously looking at Alice.

Alice grumbled as a response, "Grandma, you just slapped my thigh instead of yours." The impact was

so powerful that her thighs felt like they were on fire.

Old Madam Coleman looked down and immediately retracted her hand. She quickly stretched her hand

out and rubbed the area where Alice had been slapped. "Ally, does it hurt? I have no idea why I just did

that. No wonder I couldn't feel it; I assumed that my old legs were numb."

"Grandma, what makes you so angry about Kendall? How did she get permission to live with us?" Alice

asked with curiosity.

Old Madam Coleman frowned and rebuked angrily, "Kendall is married to your brother and the day they

received their marriage certificate happened to be the same day she slit her wrist. Dylan was way too

secretive to be hiding such an important matter."

Alice was completely taken aback. "Marriage certificate? Does that make Kendall my sister-in-law

now?"

"She's not your sister-in-law, Ally. I don't like her being your sister-in-law."

Old Madam Coleman was now filled with a rage that she had nowhere to vent to. As a result, she

refused to acknowledge Kendall's identity. "What does she think of the Colemans? Who exactly does

she think Dylan is? Does she think she can marry whenever she wants and cut her wrist whenever she

refuses?"

"Grandma, I think it's fine as long as Dylan adores her. I already knew that they are husband and wife

and I can see he treats her well," Yoseph stated.

As soon as he finished his sentence, Old Madam Coleman and Alice both looked at him. He then

realized that being a busybody could bring him troubles.

Old Madam Coleman was enraged because Yoseph would irritate her everytime she spoke. "Yoseph,

you already knew about their marriage? Why am I just hearing about this?!" she yelled.

"Grandma, if Dylan doesn’t say anything about it, why should I? He will torment me for sure.

Furthermore, you didn’t even help me out when he disciplined me last time!"

"Very well!" Old Madam Coleman chuckled.

"Yoseph, I see you're almost thirty this year, just about the same age as Steve, but you're two months

older. At that time, your mother and Aunt Julie both gave birth in the same year, so I had two

grandchildren in a year. For a while, I was overjoyed and clearly remembered your age."

"You have a great memory, Grandma. I'm fifteen years old this year and still very young. I will always

be your cute little kiddo," Yoseph added.

"I heard from my old friend, Mrs. Morris, that her granddaughter will return from abroad next week. She

is two years younger than you. When she comes back, I want you to pick her up at the airport and

befriend her."

This is clearly a blind date in disguise. As Yoseph heard her instructions, he instantly rubbed his

stomach and said to Old Madam Coleman, "Grandma, I think I had too much barbecue in the afternoon

and I'm having an upset stomach. I need to see a doctor first." He turned around and ran away as fast

as he could after answering his grandmother.

He did not want to have blind date with Mrs. Morris' granddaughter.

Jane had a gentle name, but she did not inherit the kind temperament of her name. When they used to

fight as children, she was always scratching his face; the pain made him cry and she even made fun of

his tears. It was shameful!

Although twenty years had passed, he still remembered Jane as the girl who was two years younger

and enjoyed fighting with him.

"You can run away this time, but you can't run away forever!"

"I'll wait till Jane comes back before searching for a way to bring you to her!" Old Madam Coleman

hummed. After that, she turned to look at her granddaughter.

Alice, who had a strong desire to 'survive', quickly declared, "Grandma, I only just found out that

Kendall's my sister-in-law."

Old Madam Coleman hugged her affectionately. "I know my good-natured granddaughter is not as

sneaky as her lying brothers. I'll be sad to even marry you off so soon! Don't worry, there won't be any

blind dates for you."

"Thank you for your mercy, Grandma."

"You've watched too many dramas, kid." The grandmother pinched Alice's cheeks lightly before Alice's

amused smile finally melted Old Madam Coleman's sullen mood.

…

Over at Glade Villa District, Kelly parked her car in front of Jackson's villa. Out of habit, she looked

around to make sure that she was not followed before getting out of the car with her bag. She then

quickly walked to the door and rang the doorbell.

Soon, Jackson came out to open the door for her.

"Where's your servant?" she asked casually.

"I gave them a day off since we're going to have our private time." After he was discharged from the

hospital, he did not return to the Whittle Family but moved into a villa under his own name instead.

She smiled and said, "Even if they're present, we can also talk privately. I'm sure they won't even think

of eavesdropping.

Jackson then took her hand and went into the house with her.

"When did you get discharged?"

"In the evening."

"Are you okay now? Do you still feel dizzy?"

"I'm feeling fine. I left the hospital after the doctor permitted my discharge. I have been unlucky lately

and I've always had to go to the hospital."

Jackson's luck seemed to have decreased ever since Kelly decided to stop going after him. She

undoubtedly brought him good luck and fortune, but he could not marry her right now.

"Why don't we go to church this Sunday and have our prayers heard?" She also felt that his luck was

deteriorating recently, which also affected her.

"I don't believe that. If prayers did work, churches would be crowded every single day."

The two of them entered the house while conversing. As soon as she entered the room, Kelly was

perplexed by the astronomical number of flowers in the room.

Those were her favorite type of roses. There were delicate roses all over the place—on the floor, the

table and the couch.

"How lovely!" She let go of Jackson's hand and walked over to the flowers while carefully bending

down. Her eyes squinted in joy as she inhaled the scent of the flowers.

After that, Jackson approached Kelly from behind and when she stood up, he wrapped his arms around

her waist. Then, he buried his face in the back of her neck while greedily inhaling her fragrance. "Do

you like it, Kelly?"

"Yes, I love it."

"That's great news; my efforts have not been in vain. By the way, what took you so long at the Zorns?

You've spent the entire afternoon there."

Kelly stepped forward slightly before reaching for a bouquet of flowers on the coffee table. She then

leaned dangerously close to Jackson's body and said, "It was all because of you. I went swimming with

Yasmine in the afternoon and I was exhausted."

After hearing that, he showed an appreciative expression and anticipated a favorable response. "You're

the best, Kelly. Will Miss Zorn forgive me?"

"These flowers smell amazing and they bloom beautifully too. I like them very much." Instead of

responding, she changed the subject. With this, Jackson knew the answer—Kelly could not get

Yasmine to let him off the hook.

So, that only means one thing… I can only do as my father has instructed, which is to marry Krystal

Caddel.

Only by doing so could he save the Whittles. For the sake of being relatives, the Zorns would no longer

hold him accountable for ruining Yasmine's birthday party.

Jackson suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment by resorting to this.
