Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 517

Chapter 517

Kendall sat in the pavilion for some time by herself. As soon as she heard some familiar footsteps, she glanced at the person before her and saw that it was her best friend. "Amy, why are you here?"

Swiftly, she wiped her tears off and rose to her feet before putting on a pretense. Unfortunately, her swollen, reddened eyes gave the game away as she walked toward Amelia.

"Kendall, what happened? Tell me the reason." Amelia hurried over and tugged on her hand while expressing concern, "Did you fight with Master Dylan?"

She had just arrived at the Colemans when someone instantly came over to show her inside. Subsequently, Amos pleaded for her to help comfort Kendall.

Although Amelia asked for the reason, he was unable to tell her anything conclusive, so she guessed that the couple had a tiff.

Kendall shook her head. "We didn't."

"Then, what happened exactly?" Amelia did not believe that they had fought either since the two saw each other as their lifelines. So, how could they possibly fight?

"Amy, stop asking me questions. This is something that happened in the past between me and Dylan. Now that we've brought it up with each other and realized the truth, though I don't blame him, I just can't face him at the moment."

Realizing that Kendall could not even tell her about it, Amelia realized that it was something personal and heart-wrenching for her. As such, she was considerate enough not to pursue the reason.

"Since you find it hard to face Master Dylan for the time being, do you want me to go on a vacation with you? Or perhaps, I can send you back to your parent's home and you can stay there?"

After Amelia said that, she suddenly mentioned, "But Kelly's staying there too. She'll make fun of you if you move back."

At that, Kendall heaved a sigh and said, "I'll just remain here and get some quiet time by myself."

She was not worried about being mocked by Kelly. After all, she had seen enough of Kelly's embarrassing incidents, so they had a fair share of each other's worst stories. Rather, she did not want to worry her parents for fear that Dylan would pop over every day.

"Amy, I forgot that you were coming. What's going on between you and Frank?" Kendall switched the topic.

"What's there between the two of us? He's just trying to take advantage of me to approach you. Kendall, I didn't fall in love with Frank and he will never fall for me either, so stop overthinking the situation."

Amelia was well aware that Kendall had avoided laying hands on Frank for her sake, but Kendall kept her eyes on her at that point.

Meanwhile, Amelia reached out to touch Kendall's swollen eyes with a pained look. "You've always

been such a strong person and you would hardly shed any tears. Your eyes are so swollen right now, and it hurts me to see that. If Master Dylan saw this, it would be a torment for him," she said grievingly.

At that moment, Kendall maintained her silence. Soon enough, she replied, "Amy, after my parents brought me back home, I attended plenty of balls with my mom, and you were the only one who befriended me sincerely. Although we've merely known each other for a year, our friendship seems to be deep enough that I feel like we've already known each other for at least twenty years. I trust you very much and so do you. Let's bare our hearts to each other. Do you truly feel nothing for Frank? Didn't you feel anything when you saw him punish himself?"

Caught by surprise, Amelia wanted so badly to deny that she had feelings for Frank, but she could not seem to voice out those words that she kept in her mind. When he slapped himself because of Kendall, she was affected by it and her heart ached severely to see his handsome face swell up almost instantaneously.

As soon as Kendall noticed her dumbfounded look, she reminded, "Amy, consider this carefully and decide whether you're going to keep going or give up."

She pointed out all of the potential issues to Amelia truthfully. "Frank has an obsessive nature, and you're well aware of that. If you fall in love with him, you will have to sacrifice a lot and wait for an extended period before he reciprocates. Even more so, he might never reciprocate your love. Unrequited love is always tough. Other than all these, Frank's a man worthy of your affection. As long as you're able to win his heart, you'd be blessed with happiness in the future. Otherwise, it'd be a painful journey for you."

Amidst her chaotic thoughts, Amelia tried hard to maintain a smile. She awkwardly replied, "Kendall, I don't want to get married. I just want to continue admiring handsome guys and update my collection of

photos with all the beautiful men on this planet. I don't think there will be any man who can tolerate this side of me."

Although Caleb had mentioned that he could, it was only a matter of time before they got together and him revealing his true colors. He would be just like any other ordinary man—intolerable at the sight of his girlfriend admiring other men.

"If you like Frank, then there is no need to consider me and Dylan's feelings. Although Dylan and Frank are rivals, there isn't any immense hatred between them. It's just that they're both too domineering to be able to handle each other. That's why you should just follow your heart and do whatever you wish to. Even if you end up getting together with Frank, our friendship will remain unchanged."

If Amelia managed to win Frank over, then it would also indicate that he had moved on from Kendall. By then, he would be able to maintain nonchalant and unaffected by any further encounters with her. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Amelia smiled at her advice. "That's easier said than done. He's borderline obsessed with you."

"He will eventually become discouraged by how I treat him, but the process might be painful. So, I do want you to consider this carefully."

Amelia bit her lips and considered Kendall's words for some time before finally making up her mind to face her true feelings. Indeed, she had subconsciously developed concern toward him, but she never showed that side of her in general. "I'll consider your words carefully."

Kendall patted her hand. "I'll wish you well in advance, then."

Amelia smiled. "You should hold the wedding ceremony with Master Dylan as soon as possible and

invite me to be your bridesmaid. Then, you can throw the bouquet to me during the wedding so that I get the chance to leech some of your luck and happiness."

"That's for sure." Kendall laughed at that.

Since Dylan could now walk normally, she reckoned that he should be able to go through the wedding ceremony. It had been months since they signed the marriage papers, so it was time to hold their long- awaited ceremony.

As for the baby, she made up her mind right then. Since the baby was Dylan's daughter, she should try one more time to bring the baby back to her. If they succeeded in doing so, then she vowed to protect her well and keep her from harm this lifetime. She would also ensure that the baby got to experience her and Dylan's love. If they could try again, they would undoubtedly dote on their baby very much.

At the thought of that, Kendall suddenly stood up and said to Amelia, "Amy, I've figured out my issue. Let's go."

I need to see Dylan now. I'm going to lead him to our bedroom, strip him down, sleep with him, and bring our baby back! As for our previous pact of not wanting children so soon… Forget about it! I need her to come back to me. If I could change my life, I could orchestrate for my baby to return to me as well! In this lifetime, I finally have the power to protect her!

Jackson, who played his part in the baby's death, was already imprisoned and would be sentenced for years. Furthermore, Whittle Holdings was now facing bankruptcy. Once Jackson was released from prison, the only thing that awaited the Whittles would be a massive debt. By then, he could never return to his glorious lifestyle no matter how much he wished to.

As for Kelly, her reputation was in tatters. Although she maintained a position in the Parker Corporation, Kendall would inevitably kick her out of the company soon enough. Anyone who dared to stand up for Kelly would be going up against both Kendall and Dylan. Since Brian was under his mother's strict supervision, it would be difficult for him to stand up for her publicly.
