Love Knows No Bounds

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 relationship with Frank, and no matter what she decides, I'll support her.

In any case, Sophia could tell that her daughter wasn't completely uninterested in Frank. There was simply something holding her back from accepting 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 quite late. Go home and rest early tonight. You should take better care of yourself and eat your meals regularly. 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 Dylan 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 accept 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 Dylan, he's someone worth spending the rest of your life with. The Mendelson Family is small and familial relations are simple enough, unlike the Coleman Family."

Ethan thought it was better for a woman to marry someone with a less complicated family background.

Dylan's powerful position in the family made his situation a little different, but if it were anyone else, it would be rather alarming to marry into a family where the bride had that many in-laws to deal with, including family elders, siblings, and cousins.

"Kendall's doing just fine with the Colemans. Master Dylan is very protective of her."

"I'm not saying that Kendall isn't doing well with the Colemans, but in the past, her relationship with Master Dylan was threatened several times too. No matter how strong-willed Master Dylan 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 a complicated family. "

After hearing Ethan's perspective, Amelia asked, "Ethan, were you and Dad supportive of me getting into a relationship 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 place. I'm sure they must've made some kind of progress. Otherwise, Mr. Mendelson wouldn't be staying out until so late.

"Mr. Mendelson's back, Mr. Desmond."

Just as Desmond was beginning to think that the two made some serious progress in their relationship, someone came to report to him that Frank was home.

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. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

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 regularly. I need to return to my old dashing self."

"You're always dashing, Mr. Mendelson," Desmond declared 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. Alas, 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 single comment 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, a large 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 glanced 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 glad she was willing to accept the roses. The first step to winning a woman over is to bring her flowers!
