Kendall's Sacrifice

ordeal."

He might be a stubborn, bossy man, but he still had his manners.

She would probably have changed her opinion regarding him if only he wasn't the baby's birth father.

"I hope you do as you say, President Mendelson."

Kendall didn't want him to disturb her anymore. He was the one who took her innocence in the past life

and yet, he had allowed her to marry Jackson. He didn't even show much of a reaction when they

coincidentally met during the banquet.

It was most likely like what he said about him having a head surgery before, which must have been the

reason why he had lost certain memories.

Her baby was dead. That sweet child would probably not be reborn as her child again in this life.

Their fate as mother and daughter had been short-lived.

Despite that, Kendall didn't want to hold any grudges against Frank. Since nothing had happened

between her and him in this life, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

He soon had one of his men lead her to the secret passage to leave the hotel.

After this entire commotion, she decided not to go to the hospital anymore. Instead, she stopped a taxi

and had the driver bring her to Parker Corporation.

As the biological daughter of the Parkers, neither the security personnel nor the front desk stopped her

as she went into the company and directly headed upstairs to her father's office.

Adam was just about to leave to meet a client when his secretary notified him via internal call that

Kendall was here. And so, he stayed in his office and waited for her to arrive.

She soon knocked on the door to make her arrival known and as soon as she saw Adam, she smiled

sweetly and greeted, "Daddy!"

Hearing that lovely voice of hers swiftly brought a similar smile onto his face.

"What are you doing here?" he asked lovingly. "Did you come here by yourself? You didn't head home

to Mommy?"

Kendall waddled to him before she wrapped her hands around her father's arm. "Do you not want to

see me?" she grumbled playfully. "I don't care. I want you to see me everyday, Daddy."

When he heard that, he gently tapped her on her straight nose and cooed, "Oh—I love seeing you so

much! How can I ever not want to see you?"

"That is much better," she replied and only released Adam's arm after rubbing against it.

Not one to act all chummy, Kendall couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she finally did it. She was

glad that there wasn't a third person in the office with them to witness her being so dramatically

affectionate with her father.

Then, Adam told her to sit down and when she did, he asked her, "Do you want something to drink?"

"I am not thirsty, Daddy. I will get myself water if I want to."

Not wanting to be overly courteous with his own daughter, he brought up something else to talk about.

"I wanted you to ask for Master Dylan's permission, yes? How was it? Did he agree to let you come

work at the Parker Corporation?"

"He did. I can start working anytime now." Kendall smiled.

"Really?"

"I am not brave enough to joke about Dylan, Daddy. I wouldn't have come to tell you if he didn't agree

to it."

Dylan was way too petty for this. Come to think of it, he was still angry at her. She had tried sending

him messages and calling him earlier, but he continued to ignore all her attempts to contact him.

Adam thought about it, and he did think that his daughter would never have the guts to go against

Dylan's words. "Since Master Dylan has given his permission, you can start coming to work next

Monday. You must learn as much as you can with me as your mentor. You are my only biological child,

so the Parker Corporation will naturally go to you someday. Don't let me down, Kendall."

Their fate as mother and daughter had been short-lived.

"Thank you, Daddy. I will work hard."

Adam nodded, feeling relieved. Having a son-in-law like Dylan gave him faith that his daughter would

mature quickly. "Kendall, have you and Master Dylan—"

Her cheeks immediately flushed red, and she cut him off bashfully, "Daddy!"

"I am your biological father, Kendall. I worry about you."

Not only Kendall, even Adam felt embarrassed asking something like this.

"Daddy, I am married to him after all. I won't regret it, no matter how he is. As long as he doesn't leave

me and I don't give up on our marriage, I am going to be with him for life."

Adam stayed quiet after hearing that. It seemed like the rumor about Dylan being impotent was true.

He might be overjoyed to have an in-law like Dylan, but as a father, it hurt him immensely to think that

his daughter would have to live her life like she was an unmarried woman.

"Daddy?" Kendall called out hesitantly.

He looked at her, indicating to her to say anything she wanted to.

"Uh… Daddy, what kind of presents do men like receiving?"

It was his turn to pause this time. "Are you getting one for Master Dylan?"

She hummed in response.

"Everyone has their own preferences. I like collecting antiques, but that won't necessarily be something

Master Dylan enjoys. I haven't caught wind of him liking anything either. Why don't you try giving him a

necktie?"

Dylan's preferences were a well-kept secret. There was no way anyone would hear about it if he didn't

want the public to know.

Normal people couldn't even get close to the man.

Once they did, his bodyguards would immediately ready themselves to fight. Their stance alone was

enough to make everyone back away.

Adam then added, "Or you could give him an expensive watch. Master Dylan is a man of importance.

You can't just buy him anything as you please. Do you have enough money, Kendall? I can transfer you

some into your bank account if you are short on money. Get a proper gift for Master Dylan. Oh—you

have to go to the Zorn Mansion with your sister the night after tomorrow for a banquet. Have you

prepared a present for Miss Zorn?"

Unbeknownst to Adam, Kendall hadn't even thought about what she should get for Yasmine.

She remembered how much sincerity she had put into getting Yasmine a birthday present in her

previous life, only for the birthday girl to look at it with disdain before turning around and passing it to a

servant.

Now that she was given a second chance at life, she wouldn't put any effort into preparing a present for

Yasmine.

And so, Kendall proceeded to pick a set of unopened skincare products from her mountain of skincare

products and made it the birthday present. After all, Yasmine would give Kendall the cold shoulder no

matter what the latter gave.
