Chapter 618


    Sophia rolled her window and stuck her head out, looking upset. "Mr. Mendelson, what were you


    thinking? I could have crashed into you."


    Frank forced a smile. "Really sorry, Mrs. Taylor. I didn''t see you. Was too happy to see the gates open,


    so…"


    Sophia shot him a re. Noticing his sickly look, she frowned. "Are you unwell?"


    "I''m fi—" And Frank sneezed.


    Sophia almost rolled the window up. He''s down with a cold. Must be because of the rainst night. She


    sighed. "Mr. Mendelson, I''ve told you I don''t know where Amy is. She''s really annoyed. Haven''t called


    us ever since she left. I swear, that girl can be cold sometimes, but we can understand. She''s annoyed,


    so she needs to vent it out. Calm herself down."


    Frank stayed silent for a while. "Mrs. Taylor, I''m not here to ask you where she is. I''m here to wait for


    her. I will do it no matter how long it takes."


    And Sophia was infuriated. Amy, I''ve told you this man is obstinate. Obsessed. He won''t stop until he


    gets what he wants. I''ve told you to stay away from him, but did you listen? No. Gods, Kendall, I totally


    understand how you feel. I will one hundred percent whoop his *ss too. But not like that''s going to stop


    him. "You have work to do, Mr. Mendelson. Apany to run."


    "My team is made up of professionals who''ve worked for me for many years. It can still run fine even if I


    leave everything to them. I won''t go broke. I promise I''ll give Amelia the best life she can imagine if


    she''ll marry me."


    I have Chris helping me out. And even though Frank hadn''t gone back to thepany for a while, he


    was still keeping an eye on it. Chris woulde to him if there was anything important.


    Sophia was annoyed. Amy hasn''t even agreed to date you, and you''re already nning your marriage?


    Seriously?


    Sophia looked at the sickly, listless Frank. He''s an obsessive freak. He''d even go after Kendall even


    though she had someone she liked. Would go to great lengths just to steal her. And Amy''s not even


    dating anyone yet. He won''t give up until he gets her.


    Sophia wondered if this was a good thing for Amelia. When she brought this up to her husband and


    son, both of them said Amelia should make the final call. They were scared of Frank, and Sophia was


    livid. Nobody would take my side.


    And Frank sneezed again.


    "You''re sick. See a doctor, Mr. Mendelson. And don''t stay around. We don''t know when she''sing


    back. Now out of the way. I have things to do."


    Frank said, "I''ve taken my pills. The fever''s gonna go down soon."


    "You''re down with a fever?"

    "I can hold on, don''t worry. Headache''s killing me, but I can still hold on. You do your stuff, Mrs. Taylor.


    I''ll just keep on waiting. Maybe Amy wille back today."


    Noticing theck of cars behind Frank, Sophia asked, "Where''s your ride?"


    "I am down with a fever, and I just took my pills. Desmond was worried I might get myself killed, so he


    took me here."


    Sophia cursed, "Desmond? Gosh. Go home. She won''te back today." Goddammit, why did the


    butler help him? He should be more sensible than this.


    Frank moved out of the way so Sophia could leave, but he obviously wouldn''t go back, much to


    Sophia''s chagrin. In the end, she left and didn''t give permission for Frank to go inside. Her servant


    closed the gates the moment she was gone.


    Frank leaned on the walls and slowly slid down. He was feeling really unwell. The Taylors'' neighbor


    came out and saw him on the ground, then he stopped his car. "Mr. Mendelson? What brings you here


    today?"


    Frank raised his head. Oh, it''s the neighbor. He stood up, leaning against the wall. He stared at the


    gates and answered, "Mrs. Taylor just left. She wouldn''t let me in, so here I am. Wonder if Amy''s


    coming back today."


    The neighbor said, "The sun''s getting hotter. You''re gonna get heatstroke at this rate. I can''t believe


    Sophia wouldn''t let you in. Amy''s gone on vacation. Won''te back so soon. One or two months at


    the very least."


    Adamantly, Frank said, "Then I''ll wait for her until shees back."


    "So, what''s the deal between you and her?"


    "I like her. I don''t really love Kendall. Amy is the one I like." Frank professed his love for Amelia. He


    wanted everyone to know he really loved Amelia. Everyone could see that he came here every day just


    for her. Once she came back, he knew someone would tell her.


    Knew it, the neighbor thought. Most people didn''t believe Frank truly loved Kendall. They thought he


    was just trying to annoy Dn by taking whatever he liked. "You don''t look too good. Are you unwell?"


    "Yeah. Stood in the rainst night. Down with a cold and fever."


    "You stood in that rainstorm all night? Honestly, I can''t believe Mrs. Taylor didn''t let you in."


    "It''s not her fault. She was asleep, so probably didn''t know there was a rainstorm. And I had forgotten


    to bring my umbre, so part of it was my fault," he defended Sophia. She''s my future MIL.


    "Do you… really love Amy? After everything you did to her, it''s understandable that she harbors great


    doubt. Heck, even I doubt your love for her a little."


    A moment of silenceter, Frank said, "I''ll prove my love for her eventually."


    The neighbor looked at him in silence. Perhaps he does love her. Or he wouldn''t have stood here


    waiting for her, much less talked to me. Frank was on par with Dn. Most people wouldn''t even have


    the chance to see him. But here he is.
