Chapter 536


    Sophia wanted to call her daughter and tell her not toe back tonight. Unfortunately, what she was


    most worried about eventually happened, for her daughter had returned.


    It was Caleb who sent Amelia home. Seeing that the door to the residence was still open, Caleb


    instinctively drove the car into the yard.

    When Amelia saw her mother standing there, she thought that Sophia was waiting for her toe back


    and verify that she had indeed gone out with Caleb to watch a movie.


    Truth was, Caleb had bought two tickets to a romantic movie, and Amelia was bored throughout the


    entire process. She wasn''t interested in the movie at all, for she was a big fan of thrillers and horror


    movies.


    Fortunately, Caleb had bought her a lot of snacks, so she could kill time by having some food. When


    the movie was finally over, they went somewhere else to get supper. Only then did Caleb send her


    home.


    Amelia got out of the vehicle and called out to her mother, "Mom."


    Caleb did the same and greeted Sophia politely.


    "You''re finally back. How was the movie?" Sophia asked them with a smile.


    However, Amelia didn''t respond to her.


    Caleb nced at Amelia and replied with a smile, "I think it was alright, but Amy didn''t seem interested,


    so she was bored. She killed time by having some snacks. I''m sorry for not asking in advance. I didn''t


    know she''s a fan of thrillers and horror movies."


    Sophia red at her daughter for a moment before saying to Caleb with a smile, "You can watch a


    horror movie with her next time. By the way, Amy''s dad is going to have supper. Why don''t you join


    him, Caleb?"


    She had to let Frank know that her daughter had a partner now so that he would stop taking Amelia


    somewhere else all the time.


    "Mom, we''ve had supper. Both of us are stuffed now," Amelia exined.


    Although she had known Caleb since they were young kids, she didn''t have any romantic feelings for


    him. Nheless, Sophia and Harriet would always force Amelia to go on dates with Caleb.


    Caleb was aware of the fact that Amelia frequently visited the Mendelson Residence, but he was still


    willing to go out with her. While Amelia felt helpless, she couldn''t help suspecting that he had an ulterior


    motive.


    With a smile, Caleb replied, "I only watched you eat, so I didn''t have much food. I can go in and have


    supper with Mr. Taylor."


    Amelia pressed her lips together, not intending to speak any further. Just as she turned around to enter


    the house, she saw a familiar car. Upon making out whose car it was, she was stunned. Why is Frank''s


    car in my yard? She turned to her mother and asked, "Mom, is Frank here?"


    A glint shed across Caleb''s eyes.


    Sophia hummed and exined to Caleb, "President Mendelson happened to pass by and bumped into


    my husband. As such, my husband invited him to have a seat inside."


    Certainly, Amelia didn''t believe her mother''s statement. To be precise, she doubted Frank''s words.


    There''s no way Frank passed by this ce on his own. I suppose he''s here for me.


    For a moment, Amelia was anxious as she had no idea how she should face Frank. Even Kendall could


    tell that she had fallen for Frank, but Amelia couldn''t be honest with herself about it. More importantly,


    she was hesitant to make a move upon realizing that Frank still hadn''t forgotten about Kendall.


    It only took Amelia several minutes to pull herself together. Then, she entered the house calmly. The


    instant she stepped into the living room, she saw her father having a chat with Frank. She had no idea


    what they were talking about, but she thought they both looked happy.


    The lights in the kitchen were on, and it seemed that the servants were preparing supper for them.


    When Frank saw Amelia, he took a nce at her briefly before shifting his attention back to Brandon.


    "Dad," Amelia elegantly walked over and called out to her father. Then, she took a seat beside her


    father and looked at Frank before saying scornfully, "What brings you here tonight, President


    Mendelson?"


    Frank gazed at her. Amelia thought there was a hint of love behind the man''s gaze, but upon closer


    look, she felt she was mistaken. Indeed, the man had a pair of inscrutable eyes.


    "Well, a very strong hurricane swept me to this ce."


    Amelia was baffled by his trash talk. Still, she yed along by saying, "You''re right. Given the fact that


    you''re such a heavyweight, only a very strong hurricane could sweep you off your feet."


    "You''re exaggerating. I''m not that heavy."


    Amelia sneered. "You have a point, President Mendelson. You''ve indeed lost some weight recently, so


    you''d better have more food. If you keep on losing weight, you''ll look skinny and pale."


    Frank nodded in agreement. "Yes, I''ve indeed lost some weight recently. I''m supposed to have more


    food. Anyway, I heard that you''re skillful at preparing soup, Ms. Taylor. Why don''t youe up with a


    figure? I''d like to hire you to prepare soups for me every day."


    Amelia refuted, "Who told you that?"


    He''s aware that I can''t cook! Even his cooking skills are better than mine. Whenever I prepared food for


    him in the past, he''d dismiss me. I wish I could cook as well as Kendall.


    "Well, Mr. Desmond told me that." Frank lied to her unabashedly by bringing up Desmond.


    Amelia cursed Frank in secret for being shameless. Despite that, she put on a smile and replied, "Mr.


    Desmond was just being polite. My cooking skills are terrible. There are very skillful chefs in the


    Mendelson Residence that you''ve hired from five-star hotels, so I''d better not embarrass myself."


    "There''s no doubt the dishes they prepare are ptable, but they make terrible soup. It''s decided, then.


    Juste up with the remuneration as you see fit. I''ll be responsible for providing you with meals and


    amodation. I suppose you''d be fine with it, President Taylor."


    Frank tried to hire Brandon''s daughter as a cook right in front of him.


    Although Brandon was drunk, he was still clear-headed. With a meek smile, he said, "You think too


    highly of Amy, President Mendelson. She has rarely cooked since she was a young kid, so how is she


    supposed to cook for you? I bet if you sprinkle some salt and pepper into a bowl of water, it''ll still taste


    better than the soup she prepares."


    "You must be too busy with work, so you don''t understand Amy very well. I''ve had a taste of the dishes


    and soups made by your daughter, and I think her cooking skills are wonderful."


    Brandon was speechless at that.


    "It''s decided, then. I''ll ask Mr. Desmond toe over and pick Amy up for work."


    Brandon and Amelia were astonished, for they had never seen a man as domineering as Frank.


    Just then, Sophia and Caleb entered the house. The moment Frank saw Caleb, he squinted his


    piercing eyes, looking dangerous. I can''t believe this guy still hasn''t given up on wooing Amelia.


    Although Caleb felt uneasy as the other man stared at him, he didn''t back down. He greeted Frank


    politely and took a seat beside Amelia.


    "I''m exhausted, Dad. I''ll go upstairs now." Upon finishing her words, Amelia got to her feet and went


    upstairs, for she was not happy about Caleb sitting beside her.


    It wasn''t that she was worried Caleb would do anything to her. On the contrary, Caleb was a true


    gentleman. Although he treated her well, he would never take advantage of her. He even imed that


    as long as she was willing to marry him, he would prepare a wedding at any moment. It was apparent


    to Amelia that Caleb didn''t love her, but he was still willing to marry her.


    He was aware that she frequently visited the Mendelson Residence and that she was in an ambiguous


    rtionship with Frank, but he didn''t mind it and was still willing to go on dates with her. Perhaps his


    parents were pressuring him to go out with Amelia, but she still believed that he had an ulterior motive.


    When Amelia returned to her room, shey down on her bed and spaced out at the ceiling. A moment


    later, her phone buzzed. She picked it up and realized Frank had sent her a message.


    ''I''m going home. Don''t forget toe to work tomorrow. If I don''t get to drink your soup the next


    morning, you know what will happen.''


    When Amelia saw the man''s threatening message, she was so furious that she had the urge to smash


    her phone to the ground.


    He''s such a terrible guy! Whoever falls for him must be blind! Well… it seems that I''m one such person.
