Chapter 52


    Kendall did not even open her eyes, but she was still muttering his name. Hm, she''s dreaming, I guess.


    She''s dreaming about me? The look on her face changed into the expression of agony a momentter.


    She iled her arms in the air, calling out in pain, "Baby. My baby…"


    Baby? Dn frowned. Who is this baby? He noticed her shedding a tear, and it annoyed him. Dn


    pushed her. "Hey, Kendall."


    Kendall woke up from the push. When she saw Dn before her, she fell into a trance for a long time.


    Eventually, she snapped out of it. Oh, I was dreaming. She had dreamt of her past life—the moment


    her baby died, and how helpless she was.


    "Had a nightmare?"


    She sat up and wiped her tears away. Kendall admitted, "I did." She asked, "What? I can''t have a


    nightmare now?"


    He looked at her in silence. She eventually felt nervous, so she tried to liven things up, but he suddenly


    knocked her on her head. "Hey, quit knocking me! You didn''t even tell me this time!" Annoyed, she


    pounced at him. He was caught off guard, and he fell backward. She was on top of him, and they


    almost fell from the bed. Still, she still knocked on his head a few times as payback.


    Petty.


    "What''s with you and flicking or knocking on my head? I used to be smart until you did all these things


    to my head." She got up after getting back at him, but then she felt guilty seeing him lying on the


    ground just like that. She helped him up, muttering, "Don''t me me for this. You started it first. You


    could have just told me what you wanted to know and not resort to violence. Oh, and shoot straight. No


    metaphors too. I''m an idiot. Myprehension skills are basically nonexistent."


    "Who''s this ''baby''? You mumbled that name in your sleep."


    "Oh, she was my daughter."


    Huh? "You have a daughter?" None of the data shows this.


    "I had her in my dream, but someone took her away right after I gave birth to her. I screamed and cried


    as I tried to take her back, but you woke me up before I could take my kid back," she lied as naturally


    as she breathed.


    Dn heaved a sigh of relief. And I thought I was gonna be a father. "Get back to sleep. I''ll be in my


    study," he answered and left.


    Kendall wanted to push him out, but she stopped the moment he said he was going to his study. Amos


    had told her about the rules before. Dn''s study was a forbidden zone. Not everyone had the privilege


    to enter it.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Dn pushed himself into the elevator and went to the study on the second floor without asking the


    bodyguard for help. As usual, he sat behind his desk and took out the faceless portrait. Dn spent a


    long time looking at it before tucking it away. He then turned hisputer on and drafted a n for


    Kendall. She wants to be a businesswoman and protect Parker Corporation, but she has no n of


    attack. She does this at random. He could not stand that.


    A long, long timeter, the darkest moment had finally passed. It was about five in the morning, and


    dawn had broken through. Dawn came early in this season. After he came up with the n for Kendall,


    Dn looked at the time and picked his phone up to call Toddy.


    "Sir?" Toddy was still asleep when Dn called him. He woke up and yawned as he asked, "What do


    you need, sir?" It''s an ungodly hour.


    "Toddy, I want you to look into Kendall and Jackson''s rtionship. I want all the details."


    "Um, okay."


    "Alright, that''s all. Get back to sleep."


    He hung up, but Toddy could not sleep anymore. He was curious, but he would not ask anything. Dn


    would not say a word even if he did. Nobody could force him to say anything unless he wanted to talk


    about it himself.


    Kendall found it hard to get back to sleep after she had a nightmare and was woken up by Dn. She


    read some webnovels on her phone before going back to sleep, and the sun was already shining a few


    hourster, but she was still asleep. Amos had to knock on the door to wake her up.


    "Young Mistress Kendall," Amos called out to her from outside the door. "Are you awake?"


    "Yes, Mr. Miller. I''lle out in a minute. What do you need?" She sat up and scrambled to get her


    phone to look at the time. Holy smokes? It''s already nine?


    "Miss Zorn is here, and she wants to see you."


    Kendall hurried to get changed, and she asked, "Miss Zorn? Which Miss Zorn?"


    A moment of silenceter, Amos said, "Her name is Yasmine."


    "Oh." I forgot about her. This b*tch is Kelly''s best friend. She embarrassed me at her birthday party in


    my past life. Wait, why does she want to see me? And in the mansion, no less. I mean, of course she


    knows I''m here. Kelly must have told her, but why did shee? Wait. Does she have a crush on


    Dn? "Mr. Miller, tell Miss Zorn to give me ten minutes."


    "Of course." Amos left.


    She came out of the room about fifteen minutester. Without Charlotte nagging her, she wore


    whatever that feltfortable. This time, it was a striped T-shirt and long ck pants. It was just like


    what she wore back at her foster parents'' house, but it suited her well.


    Amos seemed to know she woulde out right at that moment, as he and the other servants were


    already waiting outside. "Good morning, Young Mistress Kendall!"


    More than ten servants greeted her at the same time, much to her surprise. "Oh, um, good morning,


    everyone." She smiled. It''s already a bitte though.


    "If you please, Young Mistress Kendall, it''s time for breakfast." Amos extended his arm, inviting her into


    the dining hall for breakfast.


    "I thought Miss Zorn wanted to see me."


    "I asked Master Dn about it, and he wants you to have breakfast first. You can see her if you want


    to, but it''s perfectly fine if you don''t."


    Yasmine was here for a confrontation. With Dn out of the way, nobody would protect Kendall, so


    Amos asked Dn what he should do. Once he got his master''s orders, he could protect Kendall in


    Dn''s ce.


    Should I have breakfast or see the woman who threw me under the bus in myst life first? Duh. That


    was a rhetorical question. Foodes first. Yasmine can wait.


    Yasmine was standing outside, looking annoyed. Two men in ck were standing before her, and she


    asked, "What''s Mr. Miller doing? I told him to get Kendall here, so where is she?" She would have


    barged into the ce if it were not for the fact that this was Dn''s house. The Zorns were on par with


    the Mendelsons in Orapolis, and they were only second to the Colemans in terms of power. Yasmine


    was the princess of the Zorns, just like how Alice was the princess of the Colemans. She had always


    been the center of everyone''s attention and was spoiled rotten. How dare Mr. Miller let me wait? She''s


    just a country bumpkin!
