Chapter 144


    "But I''m happy to see you receiving my presents. Be careful or I''ll flood your house with gifts."


    Dn pinched her cheek upon hearing Kendall''s cheeky remarks. "You better be."


    He did not answer her, but instead hugged her waist.


    Ring! Ring! Ring!


    However, to his dismay, Kendall''s phone rang just at the ''right'' time, interrupting their intimate moment.


    A frustrated Dn decided that the caller had just lost his favor at that moment.


    "It''s Amelia." Kendall dly answered the call from her best friend.


    "Kendall, are you off work now?"


    "Yeah."


    "Wanna have a meal together? I''lle to you since I''m already on the way to your office."


    "I''m on my way for an appointment with a client, though. Let''s hang out some other day, Amelia."


    Amelia was disheartened by the sad news. "Alright, then. Ever since you''ve started working, I have no


    one to hang out with anymore and I''m bored to death. Do you think I should find myself a job? It''s


    because my father and brother said there''s no need for me to work as long as they''re here because


    they''re earning enough money for me to splurge. They made it sound like I am a materialistic girl."


    Kendall could only chuckle to Amelia''s rant. "Spending the money you earned for yourself feels


    different, though. You can find a job or maybe open a shop for yourself to kill time."


    "I''ve always wanted to own a photo studio! That way, I can openly take pictures of hot guys."


    Kendall was rendered speechless by Amelia'' words.


    "Oh, Kendall. I overheard something juicy. Do you wanna know what it is?"


    "You know that gossip is my favorite. Go on, tell me."


    Amelia kept silent for a moment before announcing, "Jackson is going to take responsibility for Krystal."


    Despite the shocking news, Kendall replied with equanimity, "Jackson? How is he going to take


    responsibility? By marrying her?"


    First of all, would Mrs. Whittle even want to ept Krystal as her daughter-inw? Kendall was married


    to Jackson during her previous life as the young mistress of the Parker Family, yet that vile woman kept


    picking on her, reproaching her and disparaging her as if she was not worth a penny at all. The Caddel


    Family was not on par with the Whittle Family, let alone the Parker Family. Therefore, there was no way


    Mrs. Whittle would favor Krystal.


    "The rumors had it that Jackson is currently with the Caddel Family."


    Kendall responded nonchntly, "Guess he knows when he should bow down if the situation calls for


    it."


    In this lifetime, Kendall did not fall into Jackson''s palm, yet he was going to marry Krystal instead. It


    seemed like Kelly could never run away from her fate of being Jackson''s mistress after all. When


    Kendall asked Kelly questions earlier this morning, she noticed the hickies around Kelly''s neck where


    they were standing close to each other.


    It must be Jackson''s doing. Yet, he was nning to marry Krystal when his rtionship with Kelly was


    at its height? I wonder how Kelly will react after hearing the news.


    After ending the call, Kendall was in a daze as she thought about her previous life where she had loved


    Jackson to death and gave her everything to him. Yet, what she received was not what she deserved.


    Fortunately, she was able to escape the disastrous nightmare this time.


    "Are you upset now that the man you love is marrying another woman? Should I snatch him for you?"


    An icy voice resounded, sending shudders to Kendall''s spine.


    He''s jealous. What should I do? "Dn, I-I''m not upset! I swear!"


    Dn retorted, "You''re not upset? Then, what were you thinking about just now? You''re regretting the


    fact that you didn''t get to marry him, aren''t you? Kendall Parker, you were the one begging for this


    marriage between us. And I gave you yourst chance to take back your words. It''s toote for any


    regrets now."


    "Dn, I do not regret marrying you in the slightest! You have my word and I will never take it back.


    Whoever his future wife is, it''s none of my concern. I was thinking about something else, not about


    marrying him." Kendall was aware of the repercussion of provoking this man.


    He snorted in reply.


    "Dn." She reached out to pull his hand, but he shoved her hand away and cast his gaze outside the


    window, not wanting to look at her at the moment.


    "Dn, I''m telling the truth. I don''t regret marrying you and I don''t give a fig about who Jackson is going


    to marry. Trust me."


    "I know everything you did for him."


    Kendall''s lips twitched when she heard that. "That''s all in the past. I was blinded by love and I wasn''t in


    the right state of my mind. I''ll devote even more of myself to you, okay?"


    "What do you take me for? I''m not jealous of him."


    "Yes, of course. You''re absolutely right. My darling is the best and Jackson can never catch up with you


    even if he tries. You''re my one and only, so I don''t think anyone can rece you."


    Dn snorted in reply before he added, "Just what else can you do other than butter me up? You


    haven''t even retrieved the things you had given to him."


    Kendall promised, "Then, I''ll take a leave in the afternoon to get back those things. I swear I''ll retrieve


    everything even if it is just a piece of paper."


    "That is your business. What does it have to do with me?"


    The helpless Kendall was at her wit''s end. What else can I do!?


    "Stop the car!" growled Dn.


    The driver quickly drove the car to the roadside in obedience. Meanwhile, Ronnie was on tenterhooks.


    Is Master Dn going to abandon Young Mistress Kendall here?


    He was worried that it would be Kendall''s reality.


    Right then, Dn''s temper had reached its limit as he raved, "Kendall Parker, I''m not convinced by


    your words in the very least. Now, I''m giving you a chance to get out of the car and break off their


    marriage. Once you''ve seeded, we''ll sign the divorce papers and I''ll give you freedom. You can be


    with him just as you''ve wished."


    Kendall was hurt by his remarks. "Dn, what can I do to make you believe that I no longer care about


    what that man does with his life, let alone who he decides to marry? I admit that I used to love him, but


    that''s only because I was a fool. And I am not now. I don''t love him anymore and he''spletely out of


    my life. All I care ever about now is you, Dn. Can''t you take my words for once? What we need to


    have is trust, respect and understanding toward each other as a married couple. Don''t you want that for


    us?"


    Dn''s face darkened in fury, but he kept his mouth shut while looking at her. The intense stare


    infuriated her so much that she opened the door and alighted from the car.


    "Miss Kendall!" A flustered Ronnie wanted to give her a chase.


    "Ronnie!"


    However, Dn stopped him with a growl, so Ronnie did not move a muscle.


    He then asked the driver to hit the road without any emotion on his face. "Start the car."


    The driver hushed his heavy breath while starting the car engine.


    They were all lovey-dovey just a second before, yet they were quarreling the very next second.


    Couples are indeed terrifying.

    Meanwhile, Kendall, who alighted from the car in a fit of pique, did not expect the car to drive past her.


    He has abandoned me.
