Kendall's Sacrifice

Despite hearing Kendall's words, he clarified so as not to offend Dylan.

"I've asked him."

"Sure."

After obtaining the confirmation, he turned at the next juncture and headed to Orapolis General

Hospital.

After hanging up the phone, Dylan directed his secretary to pour a glass of water for Charlotte. "What

brought you here, Mom?" he inquired calmly after his secretary had exited the room.

Charlotte was not accustomed to him addressing her in this manner. It actually terrified her.

She immediately took a few sips from the glass of warm water that was handed to her. The water

soothed her throat, giving her the courage she lacked.

"Master Dylan."

While putting down the glass, she looked into Dylan's eyes.

She was a little anxious when her gaze met with his.

"Mom, I am not a beast and I will not devour you. You don't have to be scared of me. Just say whatever

comes to mind, and I won't hold it against you," Dylan said in hushed tones.

"Dylan, I know Kendall's actions that day embarrassed you. It's her fault, as well as mine, for not

teaching her properly. I sincerely apologize to you."

Charlotte's intention today was to apologize to Dylan.

"If you still aren't over it, just vent it out on me. Kendall is my child. I've always felt guilty toward her,

which is why I spoiled her when she returned to my side, causing her to have the audacity to

embarrass you. Everything is entirely my fault. Master Dylan, please let her go. She is still young and

has a long road ahead of her. Sorry to say this, but following you for the rest of her life will not benefit

her. She hasn't been by my side since I was a child. I owe her a great deal for that. I don't expect her to

become wealthy or well-known. It's enough for me if she can be safe and find someone who loves her,

and with whom she can live happily."

Dylan simply pursed his lips and listened as Charlotte begged him to let Kendall go.

It was only after she had finished all she wanted to say and gulped down the entire glass of water did

Dylan speak coldly, "Mom, I did not force Kendall to marry me. She was the one who desired that I

marry her."

Charlotte was dumbstruck by his words.

She knew Dylan never lied.

Hence, his words were true.

"Why?"

After a long while, she asked with difficulty, "Why did Kendall do that?"

Dylan's face remained emotionless. "That's not my concern, Mom. She bit me at the time and said it

was the mark she left on my body and she had to accept responsibility for it. With that, she forced me

to marry her, and she reassured me that she will never be sorry for her decision. Well, it just so

happens that I'm looking for a wife as well. Since she's willing to be with me, I just did as she wished.

Sorry for not informing you sooner, Mom. This is entirely our fault. I apologize for scaring you."

Dylan felt bad for concealing the truth from the elders.

"Kendall…"

Charlotte had no idea what she could say next.

She had assumed Dylan was the one who forced the marriage in order to exact revenge on Kendall.

It turned out that her own daughter was the one who wanted it.

"Do the elders in your family know about this?"

Charlotte reflected on how complicated and cunning the Coleman Family was, and she felt sorry for her

daughter for marrying into such a family. At the same time, she was upset with Kendall for keeping

such an important thing from her.

It's no surprise Kendall had asked her to decline the Whittles' marriage proposal. It was because...

"I have not yet informed them. If they find out, they will… abhor Kendall."

Charlotte was once again feeling sorry for Kendall's predicament.

In fact, the Colemans wanted to be related by marriage to the Parker Family from the beginning. She

was well aware that the Colemans were only doing so because they had no other options. If it wasn't

for the fact that Dylan was… they would never have chosen Kendall.

They simply wanted to take advantage of the fact that Kendall grew up in the countryside, and they did

not regard the Parkers highly.

Dylan remained silent.

He wasn't sure about the others, but he was pretty sure his mother disliked Kendall.

"I had no idea why Kendall wanted this, Dylan. However, because she had already married you, she is

now your wife and you must protect her. It is entirely dependent on the husband's attitude whether a

wife will be respected in the husband's family."

Kendall would be safe in the Coleman Family as long as Dylan stood by her, no matter how much his

family despised her.

Since it was her own daughter's decision, Charlotte knew that they would not divorce, at least for the

time being.

"Don't worry about this, Mom. I will defend her as long as she is my wife."

Dylan gave Charlotte his promise.

Charlotte felt more at ease after hearing his words.

Then, she suddenly recalled Kendall's phone call earlier and asked, "Why did Kendall call? Her mom

was involved in a car accident?"

"Yes, her foster mom met with an accident and is in Orapolis General Hospital now."

Dylan was wondering whether he should visit Sally.

The Woods Family raised Kendall and taught her well too. At the very least, her temperament and

personality suited him.

As a result, he felt compelled to pay Sally a visit in the hospital.

However, given his identity, his presence in the hospital would undoubtedly draw public attention. That

was a place for the injured, or even the dead, and he didn't want to make a scene there.
