Chapter 438


    "Falling in love with someone who doesn''t love you back is a painful experience, especially when the


    woman is your enemy''s wife. Why do you keep doing this? Do you want Master Dn to call you a


    loser?"


    "None of your business."


    "And I wouldn''t have been sticking my nose into your business if it weren''t because you had dragged


    Kendall into this." I''m only doing this for my best friend.


    "Then, why don''t you just shut up and drink!" he snapped. Instead of picking the ss back up, he


    finished the soup and took a few mouthfuls of spaghetti before he went for the wine. Though, he


    paused for a moment. When he realized Amelia wasn''t stopping him, he took a sip before finally


    downing the whole ss.


    Amelia was getting hungry as well after spending the whole day spacing out in her room. She didn''t


    take the spaghetti but had a bowl of soup instead. After finishing it, she poured herself a ss of wine


    and took a sip.


    For once, they were quiet in each other''spany.


    Desmond provided them with hard liquor. Beset by fury and anger, Frank just kept drinking and


    drinking. He was drunk by the time he finished his food. The man was on the couch, muttering


    Kendall''s name.


    Amelia was still sober, as she only had a ss of wine. She sat down in front of him, staring at him as


    he muttered Kendall''s name in his drunken haze. Sometimes, he would say weird things like, "I''m sorry,


    baby. Daddy had let you down."


    A sigh escaped Amelia''s lips. This whole fiasco just smells fishy. I have no idea why Frank fell for


    Kendall. Still, she pitied him. He loved someone whom he could never get.


    Amelia approached him and tried her best to hold him up. She helped him into the bedroom before


    tossing him onto the bed. She breathed heavily for a while andposed herself before she


    proceeded to take his shoes off. Then, she took his coat off and raised his feet to push him further into


    the bed just in case he rolled over and fell off the bed.


    "I''m sorry, Kendall…" His mutterings didn''t stop, and his face was filled with agony.


    Amelia knew he was dreaming, and probably about Kendall. She stared at him for a while and left only


    toe back with a basin of cool water. She wiped his face and hands with a towel before sitting on


    the edge of the bed and watching him cry.


    She reached out to brush his tears away, and they felt hot. "This is not going to end well," she


    murmured. Pity grew within her. She sympathized with the man who would never have his love


    reciprocated.


    Putting her friendship with Kendall aside, she was moved by Frank''s love for Kendall. However, her


    friend was married to Dn, so Kendall could never respond to Frank''s love. And not to mention


    Kendall hated Frank to the bone.


    Amelia wondered why Kendall hated Frank, but she didn''t ask. It was her friend''s private affair, and


    Kendall would have told her if she wanted to. The reason she didn''t was that she didn''t want Amelia to


    know. Knowledge could be a curse sometimes.


    Amelia left discreetly after Frank was asleep. Desmond got her a driver, but she refused. She wanted


    to see if Ronnie would pick her up after the confession.


    And just as she had expected, Ronnie didn''te. The one who came was Undecim, his best friend.


    She got into his car, and when they returned to her house, she told Undecim, "Tell Master Dn I said


    thanks for his help. You don''t have to pick me up anymore."


    Since Ronnie had chosen to keep away, she refused to trouble Dn anymore. Desmond could get her


    a driver, anyway.


    Undecim said, "I''ll tell him that." But I can''t guarantee what Master Dn will do.


    "Thank you," she thanked him and got out of the car. Then, she unlocked her house''s door and went


    inside.


    The night was getting darker, but the morning was still a long way to go. Everyone went to sleep, and a


    storm visited the city at the break of dawn. The sun poked its head out after the rain was gone, and it


    slowly made its way up into the skies.

    The woods were lusher than ever, though the flowers were destroyed. The air, however, smelled


    fresher, and the sun wasn''t raining down a heat wave like it used to, as the coolness brought by the


    storm still lingered in the air.


    Kendall woke up early in the morning and left the main house. She was about to take a stroll in the


    garden, but when she saw Alice approach her, she changed her mind. "Hi, Alice," she greeted.


    "Morning, Kendall." Alice smiled and looked at the space behind Kendall.


    "Dn''s still sleeping. Do you need something?" Kendall thought she was here to see Dn.


    "I''m here for you. The storm just passed, and the air is still fresh. Wanna walk around?" Alice then


    whispered, "Just around Dn''s ce. I need to get to Grandma before she wakes up."


    Oh, she''s here to tell me something. Alice usually never wakes up this early. She thanked Alice for her


    kindness in silence. "Yeah. I was just about to go for a walk as well."


    Kendall smiled warmly and didn''t press Alice for details. And then, her phone rang. Roger? She quickly


    picked it up. "Roger, is this about Nell?"


    "Yes. He just woke up. The doctor checked on him, and he was out of the woods. He can leave the ICU


    now. Dad and Mom want me to tell you so that you wouldn''t be worried."


    "Good to hear." Now that Nelson had woken up and gotten out of the woods, she felt as if the weight on


    her shoulders had been lifted. "I''ll see him in a bit."


    Roger told her to be careful when she came over before hanging up. He had to take care of Nelson


    now.


    Kendall didn''t put her phone back into her pocket. She held it and went ahead to the backyard with


    Alice.


    Dn told the servants to change the backyard into a garden, just like what Kendall liked. Her favorite


    swing was there as well.


    "Nell woke up?" The Colemans knew what happened to Nelson.


    "Yes. And he''s out of the woods. Thank the heavens."


    "Good to hear. Dad, Mom, and I are gonna see himter." Dn didn''t mind recognizing the Woods as


    his inws, so that made them rtives. Now that their inws'' son was in trouble, Alice figured they


    should check up on him.


    "Thank you, Alice, but don''t force your parents if they refuse to go." Kendall knew her inws didn''t


    take to her very well, especially her mother-inw. She still disliked Kendall. If it weren''t for Fergus and


    Alice, Emily might have gone for Kendall''s jugr.
