Chapter 682
Amelia undid her seatbelt and got out of the car.
Frank followed suit.
He took her suitcase down for her and said, "I''ll walk you in."
Since he had brought her home, it wouldn''t be polite to not invite him in, so Amelia nodded and said,
"You can eat with us first before heading back."
A smile broke out on Frank''s face. That was exactly what he was waiting to hear.
The Taylors weren''t surprised to find that Frank had brought Amelia home.
Even Sophia, who showed little regard for Frank, was a little bit nicer to him this time.
Now that Amy''s home, she can sort out her rtionship with Frank, and no matter what she decides, I''ll
support her.
In any case, Sophia could tell that her daughter wasn''tpletely uninterested in Frank. There was
simply something holding her back from epting Frank''s feelings.
Everything would work out once Amelia got over whatever it was that was making her hesitant.
After dinner, Amelia walked Frank out.
Frank didn''t want to leave, but he had to.
"Amy—"
Amy cut Frank off and said curtly, "It''s quitete. Go home and rest early tonight. You should take
better care of yourself and eat your meals regrly. You''re in your thirties and yet you still need Mr.
Desmond to fret over you."
Frank stared deeply at Amelia. In the end, he didn''t say anything and just acknowledged her
admonition with a hum before getting into the car and heading off.
Amelia was back, but it wasn''t going to be easy for things to work out between them.
Be patient, Frank thought to himself. I haven''t done enough. I haven''t proven myself worthy enough for
her to drop her defenses and undo the knots in her heart.
He was going to continue doing his best. I''m sure she''ll be willing to marry me one day.
Amelia stood at the gate and watched the car as it drove off into the distance. She remained rooted in
her spot for some time.
"Master Dn and Kendall''s wedding will be happening in a few days. They have a happy marriage,
and Kendall has never had any feelings for Frank. Amy, if you love Frank, just follow your heart."
Ethan''s voice rang out.
"I haven''t decided yet, Ethan. What he has done so far isn''t enough for me to ept him. I''m not in a
rush. Let''s see what he does next."
Amelia withdrew her gaze and followed Ethan back into the house.
"Frank''s a brilliant man. Setting aside the fact that he''s constantly at odds with Master Dn, he''s
someone worth spending the rest of your life with. The Mendelson Family is small and familial rtions
are simple enough, unlike the Coleman Family."
Ethan thought it was better for a woman to marry someone with a lessplicated family background.
Dn''s powerful position in the family made his situation a little different, but if it were anyone else, it
would be rather rming to marry into a family where the bride had that many inws to deal with,
including family elders, siblings, and cousins.
"Kendall''s doing just fine with the Colemans. Master Dn is very protective of her."
"I''m not saying that Kendall isn''t doing well with the Colemans, but in the past, her rtionship with
Master Dn was threatened several times too. No matter how strong-willed Master Dn is, he still
has family elders to answer to. Didn''t Kendall suffer a lot during that incident back then? No such thing
will happen with the Mendelsons. You wouldn''t have any family elders trying to control you, and the
Mendelsons don''t have as many strict traditions the way the Colemans do. We pampered you all these
years. You have an innocent personality. You''d have a hard time dealing with the schemes and politics
in aplicated family. "
After hearing Ethan''s perspective, Amelia asked, "Ethan, were you and Dad supportive of me getting
into a rtionship with Frank right from the start?"
In the past, before Frank had confessed to Amelia, her father and brother never got involved no matter
what Frank did to her.
Thus, when Amelia decided to leave on a holiday, she didn''t contact the men of the family at all as she
thought they had taken Frank''s side.
Perhaps they might even think that it''s my luck to get to marry Frank.
"Not at all. Dad and I simply chose to stand aside and not get involved."
Sophia didn''t get involved either, but her disdain for Frank was open knowledge.
Amelia eyed her brother for a moment, but she didn''t press any further.
Meanwhile, Desmond was anxiously awaiting Frank''s return. Is there any progress now that Mr.
Mendelson and Ms. Taylor finally meet again?
As the night grew deeper, Desmond''s heart slowly settled back in ce. I''m sure they must''ve made
some kind of progress. Otherwise, Mr. Mendelson wouldn''t be staying out until sote.
"Mr. Mendelson''s back, Mr. Desmond."
Just as Desmond was beginning to think that the two made some serious progress in their rtionship,
someone came to report to him that Frank was home.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
Desmond''s imaginings came to a grinding halt. He sighed and went out to greet Frank.
Once he spotted Frank, he followed close behind and asked, "How did it go, Mr. Mendelson? Did Ms.
Taylor do anything after you picked her up from the airport and took her home?"
"Yeah. She invited me in for a meal and she even walked me out herself."
All in all, Frank was in a pretty good mood.
Desmond paused for a second before asking, "Is that all?"
"That''s all. What''s the matter? Is there something wrong?" Frank queried. "Desmond, you''re the one
who told me that I have to be patient and can''t rush things. Well, I''m being patient now. I''m taking
things one step at a time. I haven''t even officially tried to woo her yet. Wouldn''t it be ridiculous of me to
want to marry her before I even took her out on a date? I was too silly."
Desmond blinked in astonishment. Mr. Mendelson is now wise!
"I''m going upstairs."
After entering the house, Frank headed for the stairs.
As soon as he got onto the second floor, he paused and turned back to Desmond. "Desmond, from
tomorrow onward, I''m going to eat all my meals regrly. I need to return to my old dashing self."
"You''re always dashing, Mr. Mendelson," Desmond dered with a smile.
"Amelia thinks I look scrawny and haggard now. She says I''m not handsome anymore."
Desmond was speechless. Well, it''s true. You look a lot more haggard. You barely look alive. s, Ms.
Taylor''s words are always the most effective. Mr. Mendelson never listened to us no matter how many
times we tried to advise him, but just a singlement from Ms. Taylor is enough for him to take
action.
Frank cheerily went back to his room.
The night passed peacefully.
Frank woke up bright and early the next morning. He instructed the gardener to prepare a bouquet of
roses for him and left the house with it.
He headed straight for Taylor Residence.
Amelia was just about to head out to meet up with Kendall when she saw Frank''s car drawing near. It
soon pulled up outside her house.
"Amelia!" Frank climbed out of the car with the bouquet of roses and walked up to Amelia with a smile.
He had shaved his stubble and was all dressed up in a suit. Although his face was a little gaunt, he still
looked a lot livelier and more handsome than he did yesterday.
"Good morning," Amelia greeted with a faint smile.
Soon, arge bouquet of fresh roses was brandished in front of her.
"These roses are from my garden, Amelia. You recognize them, right? I got them to choose the best
ones to create this bouquet for you. I hope your day will be as lovely as the flowers."
Amelia nced at the bouquet in front of her before looking up at Frank who was staring at her with a
smile. She could see the affection in his eyes.
She smiled and took the bouquet as she thanked him. "The roses are beautiful. I like them a lot."
Frank exhaled in relief. He was d she was willing to ept the roses. The first step to winning a
woman over is to bring her flowers!
