Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 623 Creating an Opening

Charlotte came back with the salve. She went through the user's manual and said, "You can use this, but not too

much at once."

She wanted to rub the salve for Kelly, but Kelly quickly said, "I'll do it myself."

Charlotte handed the salve to her.

Kelly rubbed it on her wound and asked, "How come you're home today? Thought you'd be with your friends."

"Kendall and Dylan are coming for dinner tonight. They'll be staying for a few days, so I was going through my

recipe book for something good. I'm cooking something up."

Kelly's eyes glinted. I see. She pretended to be jealous. "You're so nice to Kendall. You never cook for me when I

come home."

Charlotte smiled. "You've been with me for a much longer time than Kendall does. I've cooked tons for you. And

now that Kendall's married, she won't be coming home a lot of times. You don't have to be jealous. And I've made

something for you too. Good for pregnant women." Charlotte was happy that Kendall was pregnant as well, but she

wasn't stupid enough to tell Kelly that. She was more than happy to pretend to be a loving mother if Kelly would put

up the act of a good daughter. You're not the only one who can act. Let's see what you're up to this time.

Kelly took a look at the recipes and noticed two recipe books for pregnant women. Aw, she does care. And for an

instant, she wanted to call Rosemi to cancel the plan. Just for an instant, however. The Parkers might love her, but

they loved Kendall more. As long as she was alive, Kelly could never get what she wanted. I might be cruel, but I'm

nice to you guys. At least I'm planning to kill you off together. You will die together. Isn't that nice? "Aren't they

going somewhere this weekend?"

"Oh, I didn't ask. Not my business. They're a loving couple. Even if they stay in on the weekend, they can still have

fun." Charlotte sighed. "Kelly, I know you don't like my nagging, but I still need to say this. If you'd listened to us, you

wouldn't have… I know you're not our real daughter, but you did grow up under our care, and we see you as our

own. We care about you. Once the baby is born, you'll have to decide what to do. Stay away from those who don't

care about you. Settle down and marry someone good. Someone honest."

But not many good men in Orapolis would marry Kelly, and Kelly wouldn't marry anyone too ordinary. If she'd

listened to them and left Orapolis, then none of this would have happened. None of this would have happened if she

never tried to attack Kendall. But she couldn't blame anyone for this outcome. She chose her path, and she must

see it through. The company's people were starting to change their alignment. Nobody would object to it if Kelly

were to be sent somewhere else in the near future, nor would they leave with her. Charlotte couldn't help but think,

Oh, my. I think Adam and I are really unfair. We care about Kendall too much. But we'll leave something for Kelly. I

just hope she'll be content with what she gets.

"We'll talk about that later. I don't want to think about that for now."

Charlotte took the seat beside her. She looked at Kelly in silence for a while, and she said, "About you and Brian…"

"It's in the past now. I'll deal with it. If Mrs. Zorn tries to demand anything, ignore her. It's not fully my fault. Tell her

to keep her son in check."

Very well.

Kelly was done rubbing the salve eventually, and she wrapped her arm around Charlotte's shoulder. "Let's not talk

about them. It ruins the mood. Let's talk about something good. They're coming home, aren't they? Why don't you

guys go on a trip? It's been a while since Kendall went on a trip with you." But if Dylan's there, the plan might not

work.

Well, she does have a point. "It has been a while. I think we'll be fine with just a road trip in Orapolis."

"Yeah. It's hot, so you guys can opt for the beach or a resort."

Kelly was trying her best to persuade Charlotte to go out with Kendall on the weekend. It would be best if someone

could distract Dylan, but she couldn't do anything about that. Her legs would still buckle when she saw him. She felt

like he could kill her, and she wondered why she was so terrified of him. Did he kill me in another world? Is that why

that fear resonates with me?

But not many good man in Orapolis would marry Kally, and Kally wouldn't marry anyona too ordinary. If sha'd

listanad to tham and laft Orapolis, than nona of this would hava happanad. Nona of this would hava happanad if sha

navar triad to attack Kandall. But sha couldn't blama anyona for this outcoma. Sha chosa har path, and sha must

saa it through. Tha company's paopla wara starting to changa thair alignmant. Nobody would objact to it if Kally

wara to ba sant somawhara alsa in tha naar futura, nor would thay laava with har. Charlotta couldn't halp but think,

Oh, my. I think Adam and I ara raally unfair. Wa cara about Kandall too much. But wa'll laava somathing for Kally. I

just hopa sha'll ba contant with what sha gats.

"Wa'll talk about that latar. I don't want to think about that for now."

Charlotta took tha saat basida har. Sha lookad at Kally in silanca for a whila, and sha said, "About you and Brian…"

"It's in tha past now. I'll daal with it. If Mrs. Zorn trias to damand anything, ignora har. It's not fully my fault. Tall har

to kaap har son in chack."

Vary wall.

Kally was dona rubbing tha salva avantually, and sha wrappad har arm around Charlotta's shouldar. "Lat's not talk

about tham. It ruins tha mood. Lat's talk about somathing good. Thay'ra coming homa, aran't thay? Why don't you

guys go on a trip? It's baan a whila sinca Kandall want on a trip with you." But if Dylan's thara, tha plan might not

work.

Wall, sha doas hava a point. "It has baan a whila. I think wa'll ba fina with just a road trip in Orapolis."

"Yaah. It's hot, so you guys can opt for tha baach or a rasort."

Kally was trying har bast to parsuada Charlotta to go out with Kandall on tha waakand. It would ba bast if somaona

could distract Dylan, but sha couldn't do anything about that. Har lags would still buckla whan sha saw him. Sha falt

lika ha could kill har, and sha wondarad why sha was so tarrifiad of him. Did ha kill ma in anothar world? Is that why

that faar rasonatas with ma?

"I'll bring this up with Kendall when she comes home. You come with us too."

"It's alright. Kendall doesn't like me. I… I don't want to ruin the mood." At least Kelly knew that much. "Oh, when's

the wedding going to be? They've been officially married for a while now, haven't they?"

Charlotte told her the answer this time. "Before the Spring Festival, of course. But we'll pick the date once the

Colemans send their gift list over."

Tilly shortlisted a few dates, but no decision had been reached. They would discuss it after the gift list had been

sent. That was how the Colemans showed the Parkers respect, and Charlotte liked their attitude. The gift list-giving

was a bit of a short notice, but she had confidence in Dylan. He had made preparations beforehand.

"When are they coming, then? The wedding's not far away. I think Kendall should stay with you guys for the time

being. She's going to leave our place on her big day for the ceremony." If I can't pull it off on the weekend, I will do

it after that, provided Kendall stays here. She tried her best to convince Charlotte to tell Kendall to stay here until

the wedding.

"They'll come next Tuesday. Oh, I almost forgot. Gotta call your mother. They did raise Kendall, and they should be

here to witness the event."

Charlotte picked up her phone from the coffee table and flipped through her contacts for a while before she found

Sally's number. And then she made the call.

Kelly's eyes glinted. When did they get this close? Charlotte doesn't like Kendall getting too close to the Woods. The

last time the Colemans came, Dylan told his men to lead the Woods to them. Charlotte and Adam had no choice but

to go with the arrangements.
