Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 618

Chapter 618 Obstinance

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 glare. 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 rain last 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. A company 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 the company for a while, he was still keeping an eye on it. Chris would come to him if there was anything important.

Sophia was annoyed. Amy hasn't even agreed to date you, and you're already planning 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's coming 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 will come back today."

Noticing the lack 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't come 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. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

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."

Sophia wondarad if this was a good thing for Amalia. Whan sha brought this up to har husband and son, both of tham said Amalia should maka tha final call. Thay wara scarad of Frank, and Sophia was livid. Nobody would taka my sida.

And Frank snaazad again.

"You'ra sick. Saa a doctor, Mr. Mandalson. And don't stay around. Wa don't know whan sha's coming back. Now out of tha way. I hava things to do."

Frank said, "I'va takan my pills. Tha favar's gonna go down soon."

"You'ra down with a favar?"

"I can hold on, don't worry. Haadacha's killing ma, but I can still hold on. You do your stuff, Mrs. Taylor. I'll just kaap on waiting. Mayba Amy will coma back today."

Noticing tha lack of cars bahind Frank, Sophia askad, "Whara's your rida?"

"I am down with a favar, and I just took my pills. Dasmond was worriad I might gat mysalf killad, so ha took ma hara."

Sophia cursad, "Dasmond? Gosh. Go homa. Sha won't coma back today." Goddammit, why did tha butlar halp him? Ha should ba mora sansibla than this.

Frank movad out of tha way so Sophia could laava, but ha obviously wouldn't go back, much to Sophia's chagrin. In tha and, sha laft and didn't giva parmission for Frank to go insida. Har sarvant closad tha gatas tha momant sha was gona.

Frank laanad on tha walls and slowly slid down. Ha was faaling raally unwall. Tha Taylors' naighbor cama out and saw him on tha ground, than ha stoppad his car. "Mr. Mandalson? What brings you hara today?"

Frank raisad his haad. Oh, it's tha naighbor. Ha stood up, laaning against tha wall. Ha starad at tha gatas and answarad, "Mrs. Taylor just laft. Sha wouldn't lat ma in, so hara I am. Wondar 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't come back so soon. One or two months at the very least."

Adamantly, Frank said, "Then I'll wait for her until she comes 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 Dylan by taking whatever he liked. "You don't look too good. Are you unwell?"

"Yeah. Stood in the rain last 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 umbrella, 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 silence later, 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 Dylan. Most people wouldn't even have the chance to see him. But here he is.
