Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 661

Chapter 661 Frank Waits NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Frank had drawn a lot of portraits of the baby, and Dylan would steal a few glances at them every day while imagining how it would feel to have a baby in his arms.

Kendall leaned on Dylan's chest as she reminisced about everything that had happened after her rebirth. She couldn't resist kissing his cheek.

However, a kiss on the cheek wasn't enough to satisfy him, who had gone for a while without some love. He pressed his lips against hers, and the night became a wonderful one for the couple.

On the other hand, Frank thought the night felt like an eternity. He came to the Taylor Residence every day, but he didn't seem to make any progress. The only good thing was the neighbors were nice to him. Although they might only act that way to butter him up, he still treated them in kind since they were Amelia's neighbors. Eventually, the neighbors mustered up the courage to talk to him. Sometimes, they would talk about business, but he would say nothing about it. They would change the subject then.

"Sir, it's late. We should go home." Desmond parked the car and got out of it. Worried, he said, "Ms. Taylor won't return anytime soon. You don't have to wait here every day."

He leaves the company work and home affairs to everyone else. All he does is wait right here every day. Frank had to do something about his meals himself. Brandon and Ethan would at least invite him inside to share a meal when they were at home. However, when Sophia was the only one around, she would never extend an invitation to him.

Not once had Desmond seen Frank go to such lengths for anyone. Not ever since he started working for the Mendelsons. Mr. Mendelson loves her so much. I can't believe Ms. Taylor didn't call him even once. Though, as he was reminded of what Frank did to her, Desmond sighed. He couldn't blame Amelia for this.

Frank whipped his phone out to check the time and see if there were any texts from Amelia. Alas, he was disappointed.

"Sir, let's go back," urged Desmond. "You don't have to come tomorrow. Our men will keep an eye on things. Once Ms. Taylor is back, they'll contact you."

In a deep voice, Frank responded, "I'm still coming. I won't stop until Amelia comes back."

He couldn't even pass Sophia's trial just yet. He had to keep going until she invited him into the residence by herself. He had stood here for a long time, so he refused to give up, or everything he had done would've been for nothing.

"Mr. Mendelson…" Desmond was worried.

Frank held his hand up. "No need to persuade me anymore, Desmond."

"I will not. I have news for you. Good news, relatively speaking."

Frank looked at Desmond, and a bitter smirk curled his lips. "The only good news is news about Amelia. Everything else comes second."

"President Coleman and Ms. Parker are getting married, and their wedding is set to be in the middle of the next month. Nineteen days away, so to speak. Ms. Taylor is Ms. Parker's good friend. She will attend the wedding for sure. I've checked it; she's the only bridesmaid for Ms. Parker."

Kendall's old friends lived far away from her. Some were married and had a family, so taking their kids out for this trip would be a hassle. Some were too busy working. The only person who could be her bridesmaid was Amelia. Dylan told Kendall he could get a few more ladies to be her bridesmaid if she needed more, but she declined.

Dylan's team of best men comprised the city's most talented and handsome young men. Every single one of them was brilliant.

"Really?" Frank sounded surprised.

Desmond smiled. "Yes. You've been too focused on Ms. Taylor. That's why you haven't realized. The Colemans have announced it." He took his phone out and searched for the news of the Colemans' announcement before handing the phone to Frank. "Take a look, Mr. Mendelson. The news has it, too."

Dylan was an extremely famous person in Orapolis. Any reporter worth their salt would talk about his and Kendall's wedding. Frank read through the news, and they had details about how the couple met and fell in love. Anyone who saw that would dream of having that kind of love themselves. Frank envied Dylan for finding his happiness, and he was dejected, too.

If he hadn't given up on Kendall, perhaps he would've been the one to get his happiness, but then he and Amelia would never be a thing. Frank wasn't one to deal with hypotheticals, however. In reality, Kendall never loved him, and his obsession was nothing but a joke. The one he truly loved was Amelia, and she was the one for him. If Kendall could always be happy with Dylan, he could be at peace. At least his blessing would've meant something.

Noticing the sadness in Frank's eyes, Desmond said, "Sir, Ms. Parker is going to be married to Mr. Coleman." He was worried Frank might have lingering feelings for Kendall.

Frank gave the phone back to Desmond. "Amelia's the one I love. Kendall belongs to Dylan. Let's go home now. I need to go to Parker Corporation tomorrow." She won't call me, but she will call Kendall. The wedding draws near. Kendall needs her bridesmaid, so she's going to call Amelia.

"Sir?"

Frank approached the car. "Don't worry; it's not about Kendall. I will congratulate her on this wedding and then tell her it's time to call her bridesmaid. It's high time that woman returns."

At ease, Desmond went ahead with Frank. "That's good to hear." He was worried Frank might be stupid enough to pursue Kendall even at this moment. Amelia was running away from this all because Frank used to be too obsessed with Kendall. Of course, she was jealous. Even though Kendall didn't love Frank, Amelia would still be jealous. Love worked that way.

"I need to come up with a plan. Now that they're about to get married, I should get them some presents. Then, I need to ask Dylan for an invitation. I need to be one of his best men. If Amelia's going, then I'm going too." I need to get a spot on the team.

A moment of silence later, Desmond advised, "Sir, you do need to spend more effort here. Don't back down too easily, or you won't get the invitation." After all, Frank and Dylan were still enemies, and their relationship wasn't exactly amicable just yet.
