Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 102

At the Parker Residence, Charlotte helped her daughter put on some light makeup, then took a few steps backward to look at her.

"What do you think, Mom? Your daughter is pretty, isn't she? People always say that I picked the best features from you and Dad."

Adam and Charlotte were quite the lookers during their youth, so if Kendall picked their best features, she'd look gorgeous as well.

Since young, whenever anyone saw Kendall, they would tell Sally that the little girl was especially good-looking. They even said that she would win if she entered beauty pageants when she grew older.

Every time, Sally would say that she wouldn't ask Kendall to join any pageants. She just wanted Kendall to grow up healthy and strong, as well as live a good life.

Charlotte smiled. "Of course! My daughter is pretty. If you wear that Cartier necklace I gave you, you'll look even more stunning."

Kendall's smile was meaningful. "Mom, you've given me so much jewelry that I fear Kelly might become jealous. You can give her that necklace later; I think she'll love it."

When she attended the banquet at Zorn Mansion in her past life, Yasmine had drenched her in wine from head to toe. Yasmine had picked on her at Kelly's request, but it was also because of the Cartier necklace she had been wearing.

After the incident, Kelly told Kendall that Yasmine liked the necklace very much, but Charlotte had bought it first. At the banquet, when Yasmine saw Kendall wearing that necklace, she got mad and poured wine all over her so that she would be disgraced in public.

Charlotte thought for a while and said, "Yes, that works too. I'll give Kelly the necklace later. Kendall, stand up and walk a few steps for me."

Kendall, who was already in her evening dress, stood up and took a few steps for her mother to see. She said smilingly, "Don't worry, Mom. I won't disgrace you."

"The clothes make the man. My daughter dresses up wonderfully and is also a beauty. I'm very comforted to see my daughter so beautiful, a-and already married too."

Charlotte's voice was filled with reluctance to let go when she said the last few words.

Dylan didn't hold a grand wedding for Kendall, and he didn't even make it known to the public that they were married.

If it weren't for Kendall who insisted on it, Charlotte would've definitely knocked on Dylan's door, demanding him to hold a grand wedding for her daughter.

Kendall knew that her decision to marry Dylan would bring sorrow and longing to her parents apart from shock. She hastily walked back to her mother and put an arm around her mother's shoulders.

"Mom, I'm living well right now. I mean it."

"How well can it be? You married in secret, and you can't hold a wedding. I can't even watch you walk down the aisle in a wedding gown!"

She continued, "Alright, let's not talk about that. We can't change our surroundings, so we'll try and get used to them. Kendall, it's on you to make your life better in the future. Even if your dad and I want to help you, we cannot interfere too easily."

Kendall had married into the Coleman Family, and it was a difficult family to interfere with.

"I'll go check on Kelly."

Charlotte removed Kendall's arm, which was wrapped around her shoulders, then turned around and walked away.

As Kendall watched her leave the room, she even lifted a hand and rubbed her eye.

"Mom, I'll be happy while protecting you at the same time. Believe me," Kendall murmured.

As soon as she came back, she grabbed this golden opportunity named Dylan and married him before getting her parents' permission. She didn't do it to be rude, though. Compared to the tragedy in her past life, she did it just to be free of that tragedy.

Just then, Charlotte knocked on the door to Kelly's room. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Kelly answered the door in her evening dress. Seeing that it was Charlotte, she smiled immediately. "Mom."

"How are the preparations going, Kelly? You're ready to leave, I hope? Kendall is all ready to go now."

As Charlotte entered the room, she said gently, "Kelly, I'll accompany you and Kendall there. Kendall isn't very familiar with those people, so do look out for her."

Kelly said nicely, "Mom, I'll take good care of Kendall, and I'll also introduce her to more of my friends."

Kelly was a little troubled, though. "However, I've tried getting Kendall to join our circle, but she is always hanging out with Amelia, Mom. Even though the Taylors are quite well-off, Amelia changes her heart too easily. She fawns over every man that looks slightly better than the rest, and she even takes photos of them without their permission and tapes the photos up in her room."

She added, "Mom, our circle isn't too big, but it isn't too small either. If Amelia secretly takes photos of a man who happens to be one of our boyfriends, who would be okay with it? Especially knowing that Amelia prints the photos and adds them to her collection?"

After staying silent for a long while, Charlotte said, "Amelia's habits are concerning, but she is very good to Kendall. If Kendall can get along with her, I don't want to stop her from making friends. Still, you have a point. I'll talk to Kendall and tell her to stay with you while keeping clear of Amelia in the future."

After all, Kendall was Dylan's wife now.

Dylan was disabled, but he was handsome regardless.

If Amelia encountered Dylan, secretly took photos of him, then added the photos to her collection,

Kendall wouldn't like it either.

"Mom, I'm only saying this for Kendall's sake."

Charlotte took her daughter's hands and patted them while saying lovingly, "Kelly, I know you're doing this for Kendall. I won't blame you."

When she noticed that the necklace on Kelly was too small, Charlotte said to her, "Your necklace is quite small. I have a new necklace with me, and it'll look good on you. You can have it. You'll definitely catch everyone's attention if you wear it to the banquet."

Kelly hastily thanked her, whereas Charlotte got up and went to Kendall's room to fetch a rectangular box. Then, she passed the box to Kelly.

When Kelly opened the box, she saw that it was a Cartier necklace, and she loved it immediately. She took the necklace out and smiled as she said, "Mom, I love this necklace so much. It's so pretty! Thank you, Mom!"

"No need for thanks. You're my daughter, after all. Come, I'll help you put it on."

Charlotte took the necklace from Kelly's hands and helped her put it on. Then, she took off the necklace Kelly was originally wearing.

Kelly looked at herself in the mirror. She felt that she looked even more elegant now that she was wearing this necklace.

She was the heir the Parkers had invested in, and she was raised with so much love and care that she

already looked charming enough. No matter what jewelry she wore, she would look splendid at any function.

"Kelly, even though it's Miss Zorn's birthday banquet tonight, and she's the main star of the show, it doesn't affect the process of you making friends and establishing connections. If you meet a decent man, you have to grab the opportunity."

Charlotte straightened out her foster daughter's dress and said gently, "Don't be affected by the Whittle Family. Mrs. Whittle's actions are simply too outrageous, and their family isn't suitable for you and Kendall at all."

"I know, Mom. I won't think too much about that incident with Mrs. Whittle."

Jackson said that he would also be accompanying his mother to attend the banquet at Zorn Mansion tonight.

Kelly wondered if his arm still hurt.

"You're a clever and capable girl, so I'm not too worried about you. All right, it's almost time for you and Kendall to go. We wouldn't want Miss Zorn to accuse you two of being late, would we?"

After all, Kendall was Dylan's wife now.

Dylan was disabled, but he was handsome regardless.
