The door was flung open and Amelia's kick landed on Frank's stomach, after which he plunged to the ground by the sudden force.
At that point, she was caught by surprise. Not bad, me! I've kicked the mighty President Mendelson to the ground. Maybe it's because I've been hanging out quite often with Kendall, so her martial arts skills have rubbed off on me.
Meanwhile, Frank clutched his stomach and glared at Amelia. Why hasn't she come over to help me up?!
"I-I didn't know that you'd suddenly open the door. I didn't get to withdraw my foot in time, so that's why I kicked you. Still, aren't you agile on your feet? Why didn't you dodge it?" Though Amelia felt guilty, she refused to admit her mistake.
"I banged on the door for so long, yet you didn't even utter a word. I thought you were dead inside the room! I was about to call the undertaker to come and remove your dead body, but then, you—"
"Is my death on your wishlist?" He rose from the ground on his own. I must be naive to think that she would help me up.
"Yeah. You're such a mean person, so you deserve to die."
At that moment, Frank recalled that he had inadvertently caused the baby's death, so he muttered under his breath, "Yeah, I do. I deserve to die."
At that, Amelia reached out to feel his forehead. "You're not feverish. Why do you seem possessed?
Are you still upset because of Kendall? I've told you that—"
"Amelia, don't interfere in the matter between me and Kendall."
"I don't want to interfere either, but she's my best friend and you're intent on wrecking her marriage, so how can I sit still?"
"Then, why don't you just marry me and keep me under control for the rest of my life?"
Thwack!
The ice pack was flung onto Frank.
Laughing out of frustration, Amelia sneered angrily. "Only someone out of their mind would marry you! I'm sane, by the way. Do you think that by marrying me, you would be able to get closer to Kendall? If you force me into marrying you, I'll cut off ties with her so that you won't be able to go on with whatever plan you have!"
In response, Frank merely stared at her in silence. Friendship is such a priority for her.
"Do it yourself. I'm leaving." Amelia turned around and left without the ice pack.
He did not stop her and only watched as she left. Exiting the room, she remained at the entrance for several minutes before descending the stairs silently.
In the meantime, Desmond was waiting downstairs for her and he came forward to express concern as
soon as he saw her. "Ms. Taylor, did Master open the door?"
"Yeah, he did. I've handed the ice pack to him, but I'm not sure whether he'll apply it. I think this time, he seems to have given up. Desmond, if there's nothing urgent, I'll get going now."
In actuality, Amelia wanted to go and see Kendall. Since she did not leave with Kendall earlier on, she was worried that her friend would jump to the wrong conclusion. To avoid this, she wanted to seek her out to explain everything. To her, Kendall was way more important than that psychotic man, Frank.
"Ms. Taylor, Master hasn't had anything to eat yet. None of us would be able to convince him to eat afterward if you leave now."
Desmond did not want her to leave just yet. During Master's most painful moments, if Ms. Taylor stays by his side to care for him and provide comfort, then that would surely improve their relationship by leaps and bounds. There has been a slight change in my master's attitude toward her, but she seems to be quite indifferent toward him. She keeps hoping that he will encounter trouble and even mentioned that she would call the undertaker when she realizes that he's dead to get them to remove his dead body.
At that, Desmond was fairly speechless by her.
"He must not be hungry if he doesn't want to eat. I'm sure he'll eat something when the time comes. Desmond, I've got something on, so I've got to go," said Amelia as she headed toward the door.
Meanwhile, Desmond realized that she was intent to leave, so he did not stop her. "Ms. Taylor, I'll get the driver to send you home," he suggested while trailing after her.
At that, she did not reject his offer. A few minutes later, the driver for the Mendelson Family started the car and drove her off. Till then, Frank remained out of sight.
Desmond stood at the front door and watched as the car departed. He heaved a sigh while muttering to himself, "Ms. Taylor's such a nice lady. When will Master fully move on from Ms. Parker and get together with her?"
When the car drove out of the Mendelson Residence, Amelia turned to the driver. "Sir, please send me to the Colemans."
The driver affirmed.
Subsequently, she dialed Kendall's number, which swiftly went through. "Kendall, are you free? I'm coming over to see you right now."
"I am. Are you still at the Mendelsons? Do you want me to send over a ride for you?"
"No, that's not necessary. Desmond has arranged a driver for me."
"Okay, then. I'll wait for you at home."
After the phone call ended, Kendall, who was sitting on a swing, turned to the man pushing her from behind. "Dylan, Amy's coming over."
He responded softly, "She's your best friend, so she can come over whenever she wishes to when you're at home. Kendall, remember this. You get to decide on anything in our home."
She turned her head to look at him with a beaming smile. "I'd rather you make the decisions at home. I enjoy being taken care of by you."
Tenderness crept on Dylan's face along with a sweet and sappy smile as he replied affectionately, "Sure, I'll make the decisions. I'll decide on everything at home and you can live a blissful life without worrying about anything."
Of course, he enjoyed taking care of her too. Her dependence on him made him feel wanted and that was a sense of accomplishment for him.
"Darling."
"Yes?"
"If Amy confesses to me that she's fallen for Frank, should I show my support or object to that?"
Dylan smiled in response and replied, "That would be Ms. Taylor's private matter, and we shouldn't interfere. Didn't I tell you before? Once Frank takes someone to heart, he will end up being a worthy match for Ms. Taylor. Of course, though, that's provided that he has fallen for her. Otherwise, she would end up in quite a horrible state if this was just a one-sided relationship."
Kendall heaved a sigh. "Once Amy gets here, I think I'll support her decision if that's her feelings. I can tell that Frank isn't completely unaffected by her. He's just too obsessed with the baby, like what you said."
As soon as she brought up the baby, Dylan's dark eyes flickered and he asked in a soft voice, "Kendall, are you sure that the baby in your dreams was Frank's?"
At that moment, she was taken aback by his question. Is my baby girl Frank's?
Truth be told, she was unsure about that as she did not know whom she had slept with even until her death. She only assumed that the baby was Frank's because he mentioned that they were in bed together in his dreams, hence, the assumption.
After all, in most stories about people who had gotten a second chance in life, the female lead's spirit would remain despite her death in her previous life. She would be milling around for some time and seeing the truths of certain events before getting another shot in life.
However, Kendall did not have the same experience as most of those stories, and her spirit did not linger upon her death. In other words, she did not get to see how the events unfold after her passing. As such, she was not sure who was the baby's father. After all, she and the baby were dead, so there was no way of collecting any DNA samples of her baby and Frank.
She wondered about Jackson and Kelly's outcome after her death and was curious as to whether Kelly had inherited the entire Parker Family fortune. Did Kelly manage to get away with killing so many people and avoid prosecution? Did she end up leading a blissful and happy life with Jackson in the end? If that was true, then it was completely unfair.
In her past life, she had been too obsessed with love and made many questionable decisions, so she accepted that she ended up dead. However, Kelly had plotted and killed her parents to take over the entire Parker Family fortune, and even killed Kendall's baby at that! Therefore, it would be unfair for her to get to lead a blissful life after all those misdeeds.
If God could speak, he would most likely tell Kendall, 'I've given you another shot in life and the chance
to reverse the outcome. Isn't that good enough as compensation?'
To that, she had no words to express herself.
