Chapter 592


    "I don''t really want to wear myself out either."


    Upon saying that, Kendall rubbed her stomach. As an experienced man, Adam instantly understood


    what her actions implied, and he was ted.


    "Kendall, are you…"


    Kendall smiled and said, "It''s not confirmed, but I''m pretty certain. Dad, don''t spread this to the public


    yet. I''m only telling you so that you won''t let me drink at dinnerter."


    Adam replied joyfully, "I got it. I won''t tell anyone, and I definitely won''t announce it before the Coleman


    Family does. Don''t worry, I won''t let you touch any wer."


    Even if she wasn''t pregnant, he wouldn''t let his daughter drink too much either.


    "Why didn''t you tell me earlier? You''ve even been working so hard recently."


    When Adam recalled that he had increased Kendall''s workload, he flicked her forehead in distress, to


    which she cheekily stuck out her tongue.


    Adam was not a fool either, and he soon understood why she hid her pregnancy from them. First, it


    was because she wasn''t entirely sure yet, and the second reason must be because of Kelly. Although


    Kendall did noty her hands on the child in Kelly''s belly, there was no saying whether Kelly would


    return the favor. After all, she had gone insane from her jealousy toward Kendall.


    "Kendall, I''ll help you keep it from your mom for now. She can''t keep any secrets, so she''ll definitely


    spill the beans if she found out."


    "Thanks, Dad."


    Soon after, the two changed topics and did not delve into this subject any further.


    Jessie remained silent as if she were invisible, but she inwardly thanked the two for their trust in her.


    Meanwhile, Roger took Emma to the restaurant that they frequented for dinner, and Toddy did not tag


    along. Perhaps Roger had been driving too fast, and Toddy could not keep up.


    Emma did not have much of an appetite, so Roger ced some of her favorite dishes onto her te.


    "Roger, I can help myself. You should eat too. You don''t have to keep helping me."


    Roger looked at her gently and asked, "Emma, do you not have any appetite tonight because of Mr.


    Heller?"


    "No, it has nothing to do with him. I''m not rted to him in any way," Emma denied that Toddy would


    have any effect on her.


    "Actually, I know that you acted so intimately with me in front of yourpany because you wanted to


    show it to Mr. Heller on purpose," Roger said. Although he was an honest man, he was not a fool


    either. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    After a pause, Emma exined apologetically, "I''m sorry, Roger. I did use you earlier. I only did that


    because I wanted to make Toddy give up and stop pestering me."


    "I''m confused, too, and I don''t know what choice I should make. You''re a good person. I feel rxed


    whenever I''m with you, and you take good care of me too, but I really can''t develop any romantic


    feelings for you at the moment. I admit that Toddy is still able to affect my feelings, and I haven''t


    completely forgotten about him yet."


    "If he stops badgering me, I''ll definitely be able to truly let him go after time passes."


    Emma did not want to go back to Toddy, but she was unable to ept Roger''s feelings in such a short


    time as well.


    Roger assured her gently, "Emma, I''ve never asked you to give me an answer immediately. I just want


    you to give me a chance, and when we know each other better and you''ve found peace, you can give


    me a clear answer then. Now, we can just be regr, tonic friends, so that you won''t feel


    pressured."


    "You don''t have to worry about Kendall either. This is between us and has nothing to do with her, and


    she won''t interfere in our rtionship either. Even if Mr. Heller ends up your final choice, Kendall and I


    will respect your decision and give you our utmost blessings. Loving a person is wanting them to do


    well and be happy. As long as she''s happy, I will still give her my blessings even if she doesn''t choose


    to be with me."


    Emma looked at him seriously, thinking that he truly was a kind person, and thanked him, "Thank you,


    Roger!"


    "What are you thanking me for? I''m happy as long as you are. By the way, how''s work going in the new


    environment? My sister, I mean Kelly, she isn''t giving you a hard time, is she?"


    Emma replied, "I''m Miss Parker''s secretary on paper, and while I''m not as influential as Miss Holmes,


    nobody dares to pick on me."


    In all her years of working, she had always been with Dn, and she had seen more than any other


    secretary. The staff at Parker Corporation knew the true reason she was suddenly hired as well, and no


    one dared to pick on Dn''s designated secretary anyway.


    The senior executives at Parker Corporation now viewed Kendall differently, not only because of her


    achievements but also because Emma''s arrival made them realize that Dn would interfere with the


    handover of thepany to its heir. If Kendall couldn''t take over, he would definitely purchase the


    company by force and hand it to herter. If she ended up taking over thepany, regardless of


    whether she had the ability to take thepany to greater heights, she still had Dn to back her up


    and help her out.


    Those who had been working at Parker Corporation for some time had grown attached to thepany


    and did not want to lose their jobs either. As long as thepany did well, they could keep their jobs


    without having to brace the pressure of looking for a new job. As time passed and they slowly grew


    older, they wouldn''t be able topete with the new blood in the workce. If they left Parker


    Corporation and nobody offered them a new job with goodpensation, they might spend a long time


    unemployed.


    "d to hear that, but you still have to be wary of her. She doesn''t like Kendall, and you''re good friends


    with Kendall, so she might be scheming against the two of you," Roger warned.


    Emma hummed in reply before asking, "She''s your biological sister, but I feel like you and your family


    don''t really like her. Is it because of what happened with your elder brother?"


    "Notpletely. It mostly has to do with her attitude. It''s been two years since she found out that she


    got swapped, and it''s one thing if she doesn''t want toe back to the Woods Family, but she always


    acts like we don''t exist every time she sees us, as if we''re embarrassing or something."


    "When she was hospitalized and my mother took care of her, she treated my mother horribly. Although


    we''re blood-rted, her attitude and behavior make it difficult for us to like her."


    Roger did not feel much for her as they did not grow up together, and Kelly never thought of them as


    her family either.


    "She thinks that Kendall is luckier than her because Kendall went from a country bumpkin to the


    daughter of a wealthy family while she went from the daughter of a wealthy family to a country


    bumpkin. To her, we''re just country bumpkins, really."


    "I''ve never met her much, but in the few times that I did, I can sense that she despises Kendall and


    thinks that Kendall took everything from her. Why couldn''t she put herself in Kendall''s shoes for a


    moment? Kendall is the daughter of a rich family and should''ve lived luxuriously and gotten a better


    education, but she enjoyed all of that instead. She was the one who''d had it easy, so I can''t believe she


    harbors hate against Kendall."
