Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 389

Of the four women drinking in the still of night, two ended up getting drunk. Only Kendall and Alice were still sober

and in possession of their senses.

When it was about time, Amos phoned Toddy.

Nobody knew what Toddy was doing, but he sounded quite annoyed when he answered the phone.

"Mr. Heller, it's me, Amos."

"Mr. Miller?" Toddy replied in surprise. Then, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Amos explained, "Miss Finley has drunk herself unconscious while drinking with Young Mistress Kendall. I don't know

the phone number of her family members, so I have no choice but to call you. Could you come over to pick her up

now?"

Toddy replied angrily, "Why would Young Mistress Coleman ask Emma out for drinks for no reason? Is she… Oh, I

got it. Mr. Miller, is Master Dylan still alright?" He thought that Kendall had invited Emma for drinks because Jackson

and Krystal had gotten married. Despite the ugly spectacle at the wedding, Krystal still went back with Jackson to

the Whittle Residence in the end.

"Young Master Dylan is fine."

"Mr. Miller, can you get someone to send Emma back?"

Amos refused right away, "No, I can't. Mr. Heller, if you're not coming to pick her up, I'll leave her outside a bar and

let a random stranger pick her up instead."

Toddy was speechless for a moment. "Did Master Dylan teach you to say that?" Mr. Miller is a gentle person. How

could he possibly do something so cruel? Dylan must've ordered him to do that.

"Mr. Heller, are you coming or not?"

Toddy fell silent for a moment. Then, he replied, "I'll be there in a minute." In the end, he dared not compete with

his boss in terms of callousness.

After hearing his answer, Amos finally hung up the phone. Then, he called Yoseph, telling the latter to pick Jane up.

Yoseph's handsome face was as black as thunder when he came over to pick Jane up after knowing that she had

gotten drunk. Kendall felt that if she weren't his sister-in-law and Alice weren't his younger sister, he'd probably

have punched them.

"Let's drink… There are plenty more fish in the sea… You can live without anyone…" Jane mumbled in a drunken

haze in an attempt to comfort Emma. When Yoseph tried to help her up, she pushed him instead.

"Feisty, time to go home." Yoseph held Jane up just as she was about to slump to the ground. Then, he carried her

in his arms. At first, he wanted to glare daggers at Kendall and Alice, but he caught sight of Dylan from the corner

of his eye. Afraid of provoking his brother, he went home with Jane in his arms without doing anything.

"Ally, could you walk back on your own?" Kendall asked Alice with concern.

Alice replied, "I'm not drunk, so I can go back by myself. It's getting late, Kendall. I'm going back to sleep, but I'll

come again tomorrow to go to Wealthy Luck Street with you."

Kendall smiled. "I might not have time to go shopping tomorrow." She owed Dylan too many presents, which she

had yet to make.

However, Alice insisted, "Dylan asked me to take you there to go shopping. He said that you have too few clothes,

handbags, and shoes in the closet. He feels that he isn't qualified enough as your husband, so he wants to make it

up to you."

Kendall was startled for a moment. Then, she smiled even more sweetly. "I dress in work attire when I go to work,

so I already have enough clothes. Speaking of going shopping, I'd rather have him shopping with me."

She was somewhat disappointed deep down. Dylan still hadn't fully recovered, so he couldn't go shopping with her.

Seeing that Dylan was coming their way, Alice stood up and said to her wittily, "Dylan has come out, Kendall. Just

say that to him and ask him to go shopping for clothes with you." Then, she left with a chuckle.

Kendall turned her head to see Dylan walking over. Hurriedly, she stood up to support him. "Be careful lest your

feet hurt."

"My wheelchair is at the entrance, and it won't hurt my feet to walk a few steps." Dylan looked at Emma, who was

plopped over the table while sleeping. Then, he remarked, "Miss Finley has never gotten drunk since she started

working under me." Toddy ended up hurting this lady after all.

Kendall replied, "Mr. Heller will regret it." It's wrong of him to turn away such a nice woman like Miss Finley. She

thought of Nelson and Roger, both of whom were unmarried and didn't have a girlfriend. In her mind's eye, both of

them were nice guys. She wondered if Emma would take a shine to them. I can act as a matchmaker for her and

Nell.

"Basically, those who only realize the value of something after losing it won't stand any chance," Dylan commented

impassively before holding her hand. Staring into her eyes, he said, "Let's go. Time to go back to sleep."

"What about Miss Finley?"

"Toddy will be here in less than three minutes."

Kendall was skeptical, though.

Taking her by the hand, Dylan dragged her into the house. "Mr. Miller is still here."

As he had expected, as soon as they entered the house, Amos got a phone call from Toddy, who said that he had

arrived.

Dylan dragged Kendall back into their bedroom before helping her to get her clothes.

Kendall smiled like a fool as she sat on the bed and watched how the god of Orapolis' business circles helped her

get her clothes and ran her a bath.

Walking back up to her, Dylan pinched her cheek in amusement. "You're almost drooling."

"Darling, I feel so happy."

"Do you feel happy even if I can't go shopping with you?"

"You can. You'll be able to do it one day!"

Dylan smiled. "Buy some clothes for yourself when you shop with Ally tomorrow. My younger sister has such a huge

closet, so it doesn't make sense that my wife's closet doesn't take up much space."

Kendall was rendered speechless. So, he thinks that I've been wronged.

In reality, she didn't think that she'd been wronged, as she and Alice were from different backgrounds. Alice was

pampered by everyone as soon as she was born, and besides, the Colemans were rich, so they naturally gave her

the best of everything. On the other hand, she lived with Sally after being swapped at birth. The Woodses were nice

to her, and they also gave her what they thought were the best. However, the Woodses' conditions were worlds

apart from the Colemans', so she and Alice had different habits and lifestyles. After living with a wealthy family for

over a year, she was still unable to get out of the habits she had gotten into over the past 25 years. As she and

Alice had different habits, what they sought was also different.

She looked up at Dylan. She wasn't drunk, but she'd easily act on impulse after drinking. She took his hand and

yanked him with all her might, causing him to lose his balance and pounce on her. When he fell on top of her, she

passionately offered him her lips.

Dylan knew that she'd become especially passionate after drinking, and sure enough, it turned out just as he had

wished.

This was a long night for lovers.

When Kendall woke up the next day, Dylan was no longer in the room.

There was a note and a bank card on the nightstand.

Kendall picked up the note to take a look. It read, 'Honey, I have something to deal with, so I can't keep you

company this morning. The card's PIN number is the date of our wedding. Just have fun shopping with Ally. There's

no need to help me save money—I have nothing but lots of money.' There was a red heart drawn at the end of the

note.

She giggled while looking at the red heart, knowing that he left not because he really had something to deal with,

but because he wanted her to go shopping for clothes with Alice with a peace of mind. What a considerate guy. I

love him so much.

She then picked up the bank card, which was a black card. He's very generous to me with his money.

There was a set of clothes at the end of the bed, prepared for her by Dylan so that she could change into them as

soon as she woke up without having to go to the closet. He was unwilling to let her walk even a little, fearing that

it'd tire her out.
