Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 129

At that moment, Kendall felt quite perplexed to see her man smiling furtively.

After she had lowered her head to look at the bamboo skewer in her hand and realized that it was bare,

she finally came to her senses. Her pretty face blushed bright red and she turned to Dylan sheepishly,

"I thought that you didn't want it anymore and I reckon it would be a waste of food, so I finished it. After

all, it's not good to be wasteful."

Dylan's balled his right hand into a fist and he brought it close to his cheek as he pressed on it to

suppress his laughter. He replied indifferently, "It's alright since you've eaten it. I'll continue to fish for

you, and you can grill it for yourself. I'll make sure that you'll be satiated."

"Okay." Kendall beamed widely.

It wasn't because she enjoyed the tasty grilled fish, but because Dylan cared enough to do all that for

her, so she was quite pleased.

"Dylan, do you like grilled chicken wings? I'll prepare some for you."

Alice had brought along plenty of ingredients, so there was plenty of food. He could have anything he

desired.

She didn't wait for him to reply before she turned around and walked off.

As soon as Alice saw Kendall walk toward her, she quickly handed over the platter of grilled lamb

skewers to Kendall and said, "Kendall, try this. I prepared these lamb skewers."

Kendall took one and ate it. "Alice, you've got great cooking skills."

Meanwhile, Alice smiled and said, "During our spare time, we usually gather together and have a

barbeque to enjoy ourselves."

"You guys are so grounded," Kendall praised Alice.

At that point, Alice couldn't contain her smile. "We're just normal human beings too. Do you think that

we're saints? In fact, I'm the only one who has been brought up in a luxurious environment since I was

young because Grandma said that I'm a girl, so I should be brought up in luxury. However, my brothers

had to undergo various challenges as they grew up."

She leaned closer to Kendall and whispered, "Dylan's the best among them. He's talented in many

ways, but he has hidden his talents. He's great at calligraphy, art, poetry, chess, cooking,

equestrianism, ball games, and martial arts. He's also great at cooking. However, ever since he took

charge of the family business, he no longer stepped foot into the kitchen."

It was because of his busy schedule. At that moment, Kendall couldn't seem to believe her ears.

"Dylan is that talented?" He seems to be good at everything!

"It's not that easy to be the successor of the Coleman Family. Not only does he have to be good at the

business side of things, but he also has to learn a lot of skills. My grandpa mentioned before when he

was alive that one had to have the skills to survive first and have an unwavering spirit so that one

would be able to recover quickly despite the setbacks that one faced. That's why my brothers had to

undergo all sorts of training since they were children. Grandpa said that he didn't expect them to

expand the Coleman family business dramatically, but they had to have the ability to maintain the

business at its current state."

Right now, there were about ten males in their generation, and Dylan's impressive feats need not be

mentioned as it was quite evident. The others were also outstanding young men who shone in the

various fields they were involved in.

"Kendall, Dylan is just like a thick and interesting book to read, and if you take the time to slowly read

through the book, it would be akin to a treasure hunt. There would be plenty of surprises waiting for you

to discover them."

There was a hidden meaning behind Alice's words, and Kendall couldn't help blushing. Nonetheless,

Kendall replied graciously, "I'll definitely stay by Dylan's side and flip to the last page of the book. I'll be

sure not to miss out on anything."

"That's great! You've got a great future ahead of you! Keep it up and I'm sure that you'll be able to stay

and get to the ending."

Kendall looked at Alice and met her eyes. Both could see the sincerity in each other's eyes. Kendall

realized that Alice—quite intelligent—had perceptively caught on to things after seeing everything.

Kendall smiled and reminded Alice, "The chicken leg is about to get burnt."

Just then, Alice hastily glanced at the grilled chicken leg she was preparing.

"Ring. Ring." Suddenly, Kendall's cell phone went off.

She took out her cell phone to check the caller ID before she answered the call.

"Hi, Amelia."

"Kendall, are you still staying at the Colemans?"

"Yup."

"Can I come over to the Coleman Mansion to meet you? Would that be convenient for you?"

Kendall smiled and replied, "Yes, it would be convenient for me. Do you have spare time to come and

meet me? Isn't your mom setting you up on blind dates? Last night, there were plenty of handsome

men in attendance, so did you gain any targets from there?"

Amelia sounded quite resigned on the phone. "My mom's the one who's quite excited about all that, but

I don't want to get married just yet."

She paused and self-jested as she smiled, "Everyone in our social circles knows my hobby, so no one

would be keen on marrying me. Anyway, I'm not ready for marriage, so there's my excuse to continue

living in freedom."

She enjoyed collecting photos of handsome men as they were pleasing to the eyes.

In her eyes, those handsome men were similar to beautiful scenery, and she didn't actually harbor any

indecent thoughts. However, in everyone's eyes, she was just a wanton girl.

"Otherwise, would you be free to come out? I'll wait for you at Urban Break."

Kendall glanced at the man who was busy fishing, and she replied to Amelia, "Hold on for a moment. I'll

seek permission, and I'll call you back later."

Amelia realized at that point that her friend was currently serving as Dylan's caregiver for free. Amelia

understood Kendall's predicament, so she mentioned quite considerately, with a note of sympathy, "If

it's inconvenient for you, we can talk another day."

"It's alright. I'll just have to ask for permission quickly."

Kendall hung up the phone first and took a chair to sit next to Dylan.

"Was that Amelia on the line?"

Dylan was well-aware of his woman's friends.

"Dylan, you're so smart. How did you manage to get that right?!"

Meanwhile, Dylan turned his head and his eyes were quite dark as he spoke in a rude tone, "Stop

fawning over me and just say whatever you have to say."

"Amelia asked me out. Should I go out to meet her or get her to come here?"

There were plenty of handsome men at the Coleman Mansion, so Amelia clearly wouldn’t be able to

resist taking some snapshots of them as soon as she laid eyes on them. Kendall was worried that

Amelia would offend the Coleman males with her actions.

Dylan stared at her intently for at least one minute before finally speaking up in a calm voice, "You said

that you would spend the afternoon with me."

At that point, Kendall mentioned, "How about I get Amelia to come over then?"

"Do you have to meet her today?"

Kendall stopped talking by then. After some consideration, she sent a text message to Amelia.

Amelia replied quite soon after receiving the text, and she did not actually have any major issues. She

was just bored, so she thought of asking Kendall out to talk and go shopping.

As soon as Amelia realized that it was inconvenient for Kendall to go out, Amelia told Kendall to go

about with her own things. It was not necessary for Kendall to entertain Amelia, as Amelia could easily

entertain herself.

"Dylan, I’ve spoken to Amelia, and I won’t be going out. She didn't ask me out because she had

something important to discuss. She merely wanted to go shopping."

Dylan remained silent as he turned his head and stared intently at the creek.

Meanwhile, Kendall didn't receive a response from him, so she assumed that he was not going to reply

and got up to leave.

"I'm not trying to restrict your freedom, but I don't like it when others don’t keep their promises to me. If

you can’t achieve it, don’t make promises easily."

She sat back next to him and reached out to hold his other hand. However, he shrugged her hand off.

She persisted and reached out to hold his hand once again.

After repeating the same process several times, he finally stopped shrugging her off.

"Dylan."

Kendall placed her head on Dylan’s lap and was quite apologetic, "It was my fault earlier. I shouldn't

have tried to go out after promising you that I would spend the afternoon with you. From now on, I'll be

sure to keep my promises to you and no matter who calls up to ask me out, I won’t change my mind

either."

Dylan lowered his head and his eyes met her dazzling, large eyes. He noticed the apologetic look on

her face, and he instantly relented. At that moment, he calmly mentioned, "It's too hot today. Stop

clinging to me."

She chuckled gleefully and insisted on nuzzling against his thighs before sitting up with a smile.

"Alright, I'll stop clinging to you. I'll continue to grill some food. I don't think we need dinner tonight."

Dylan seemed to be about to say something as he saw her walk off with a wide smile on her face.

However, after pursing his lips, he ended up saying nothing.
