Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 99

"Why are you awake, Dylan?"

Dylan grunted coldly. "What's wrong? Can't I be up? Is it because you want to molest me in my sleep?"

Kendall replied, "Come on. Do you seriously call that molesting? We're legal spouses, so it's natural for

me to kiss you—that's what a husband and a wife do, you know. Fine, you won't understand it anyway

because you're a cold-blooded creature who doesn't know how to spice things up at all. I might as well

save my breath on the explanation."

Although Kendall was happy that Dylan excelled in almost every aspect, the one thing that she didn't

like about him was his boring and unromantic nature.

In response to Kendall's complaint, Dylan acted as if he was desperate to be taught. "Enlighten me,

then. That's the only way for me to learn how to be more romantic when handling your flirts next time."

Kendall agreed with Dylan's point, but she somehow had a feeling that he was trying to pull her leg.

Thinking she wasn't quick on her feet enough, she decided to protect herself and turn the man down.

"It's alright, I guess I'm better off preparing our breakfast. What would you like to have for breakfast

today, Dylan? I'm going to prepare your share right now, but if you don't say anything, I'm going to

make just enough for myself."

With so many servants at his disposal, Dylan wasn't really concerned about whether Kendall would

prepare his share. "I'll have whatever you're having."

"Okay. In that case, you'd better not complain about it later."

Soon, Kendall grabbed herself a new set of clothes and went to the bathroom to change her outfit. By

the time she reappeared, she was seen wearing a dress in a plain color. In the meantime, Dylan sat in

his wheelchair and set his eyes on the lady in that dress. A few moments later, he asked, "Are you sure

you're going to be comfortable wearing a dress? Considering how you like to give people a shoulder

throw—"

Kendall replied, "Dylan, your wife is actually a tender and loving woman, so stop stereotyping her with

those moments during which she was in action." However, she eventually decided to change to another

new set of clothes, wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt and a pair of cropped trousers. "You know what?

You're right, Dylan. I guess I'm much more comfortable this way since I can run faster in this outfit."

"You should be a cop tasked with arresting burglars and thieves. I'm sure you're going to manage just

fine."

"Is that a compliment? Or is that meant to be sarcastic that I'd lose my decency if I ran too fast?"

Kendall asked with a smile on her face.

Dylan smiled just as Kendall stopped smiling, for her breath was taken away by his handsome grin.

Seeing her enchanted look, the man chuckled and said, "Alright, it's time to come back here. You're

drooling."

Kendall stepped closer to Dylan and bent over, cupping his face before she pecked his lips and bit

them. Pained, Dylan shoved her away even though he wished they could continue.

"What's with the charming smile so early in the morning? Are you trying to give me heart issues?

Moreover, your lips look like it's just beckoning me over, and I simply can't resist it."

Satisfied with her bite on the man's lips, Kendall patted Dylan's face and continued, "You're so

handsome, especially when you smile. It's so charming that it can take someone's breath away. Your

poker face makes you look intimidating. Honestly speaking, when I first met you, I was so frightened by

your glacial look that my legs shivered."

Nevertheless, Dylan didn't believe Kendall's words; if she had really feared him, she wouldn't have

threatened to slit her wrist just to reject him, and neither would she have forced him to marry her after

she came around. Well, I guess she is timid sometimes, but most of the time, she is audacious.

Since Kendall had been raised in the rural village, Dylan reckoned she didn't know much about his

past, which he thought explained why she was so brave. However, little did she know that it was

precisely her audacity and humility that made Dylan want to get along with her more and more. After

all, she seemed genuine and innocent, and he didn't think that she would ever plot against him.

"Alright, we'll talk again soon. I need to make our breakfast and some soup for my mom in the hospital.

I didn't manage to visit her yesterday, and I'm starting to miss her. I wonder if she is getting better now."

Kendall turned around and walked away.

In the meantime, Dylan watched his wife walk away while touching the part of his lips that had been

bitten. Due to her strong bite, he felt as if his lips were starting to swell.

Since it was still early in the morning, the entire Coleman Mansion was still shrouded in silence. After

all, the maids who woke up early were rather gentle with their movements as they worked because

they were afraid of waking up their masters by accident.

Meanwhile, when Kendall entered the kitchen, she was greeted by the sight of many fresh ingredients.

After quickly going through them, she realized she could make a table full of dishes with everything she

had there.

While Kendall preferred something bland for her breakfast, she had cravings for some oats and salad,

only to realize that salads were missing among the ingredients. As such, she was forced to pick two

other alternatives among the ingredients to go with her oats.

When she was busy making chicken soup for her foster mother, she suddenly heard steady footsteps

coming from the outside.

"Young Master Yoseph." When Kendall heard Amos' polite voice, she couldn't help but wonder about

the person the butler was greeting. Young Master Yoseph? Is Yoseph here? What brings him here?

Ever since Yoseph found out that Kendall had become his sister-in-law, he had been itching to uncover

the truth, which was why he dropped by so early in the morning.

"Amos, is my brother not up yet? By the way, it smells so nice. Who is in the kitchen?"
