"Where are you off to so early in the morning? I'll give you a ride," Frank offered.
"It's fine. I'm going to meet up with Kendall. I heard it's been a long time since you last went to the office. Shouldn't you head in to check on things?"
Frank smiled and said, "Yes, it's been a while since I went to the office, but I've been dealing with work remotely. Don't worry. Nothing will go wrong. I have everything under control."
"If there's nothing else, you should head back to the office now, but we can have lunch together."
Frank's smile blossomed as he nodded eagerly. "Alright. Since you want me to go to work, I'll head to the office. I'll come and pick you up for lunch."
After seeing his dazzling smile, Amelia couldn't help but smile back at him. She nodded in acknowledgment.
Frank stood and watched as Amelia drove off.
When Amelia got to the meeting spot, she found Kendall waiting for her.
"How did you, a pregnant woman and a bride-to-be, get out of the house earlier than me?" Amelia teased as she took her seat.
Kendall chuckled and said, "I don't have to do anything these days. All I do is eat and sleep all day like a pig, so naturally, I leaped at the chance to get out of the house for a bit and left as soon as I could."
"Don't try to sound so pitiful. You can probably parade around Coleman Residence in a chariot right now and no one would say a thing."
Kendall ordered a cup of coffee for Amelia, but she couldn't have any caffeine during her pregnancy, so she ordered a glass of juice for herself.
"You've been gone for some time and you look like you're in good spirits. I suppose you've gotten over the things that were holding you back," Kendall remarked with a smile as she took in Amelia's cheerful demeanor.
"I'll just see how he does from now on."
Frank had been cruel to Amelia in the past. She couldn't bring herself to accept him so easily simply because he confessed his feelings to her. Let him prove himself. I'm not in a rush to get married anyway.
"You're right. Don't accept him so easily. Let him have a taste of what it's like to go through hell to win the heart of the woman he loves. Hahaha. It's best if you wait at least two years before you accept him."
Kendall was more than willing to make Frank suffer as much as possible. novelbin
Amelia chuckled. "I want to enjoy what it feels like to be dating. I don't want to get married in a rush like you. Although you and Dylan are happily married, I still feel like something's missing. I want things to be perfect."
Kendal nodded in agreement.
She had married Dylan in a rush because she had only just been reborn and needed to latch onto him to save herself this time around.
Amelia's situation was different. She should enjoy the feeling of dating someone.
"You're glowing even more than usual, Kendall."
Amelia stroked Kendall's face and showered her with compliments. "Your skin looks smoother and you look even more beautiful now. Some people look more haggard when they get pregnant, you know." On the other hand, Kendall had become even more beautiful.
Kendall laughed as she asked, "Considering what my life is like now, is it possible for me to look bad?" She touched her face and said, "I think I look better than I used to before I got pregnant too. Everyone says that if the mother looks even more beautiful while pregnant, she would be carrying a daughter, but if she looks less beautiful than before, she would be having a son."
She stroked her belly. "This baby has been very obedient. I don't even have morning sickness yet."
"What a good baby! When my neighbor was pregnant, she started vomiting even after just around six weeks into her pregnancy, and she kept vomiting right until it was time for her to give birth. I heard she even vomited on the day she gave birth! It only got better once the baby was born."
A mother's sacrifice could not be overestimated.
Kendall knew how terrible morning sickness could be. She had the symptoms when she carried the
baby in her previous life.
As she didn't have any morning sickness this time, until the day the baby was born, she couldn't be sure if the baby from her previous life had come back to her.
Both Kendall and Dylan fervently hoped that fate would allow their family of three to reunite once more.
"Kendall, I want to be your kid's godmother."
"Don't worry. You're definitely the godmother. Emma wants to be the godmother too. Toddy and Frank both kept pestering Dylan because they wanted to be the godparents as well."
They both figured that since the woman they loved wanted to be the baby's godmother, they had to be the godfather too.
"Kendall."
Amelia was no longer smiling. She took Kendall's hand and asked in all seriousness, "Will you be upset with me if I get into a relationship with Frank? I promise that even if I end up with him, I won't take his side and stand against you two."
Kendall patted Amelia's hand and smiled. "We've talked about this many times, Amy. I told you. You don't have to worry about how I feel. Just follow your gut. If you like Frank and are willing to get involved with him, then go ahead and accept him. I trust our friendship. Even if the men we're with don't see eye to eye at first, I'm sure their relationship will improve over time. Although Dylan's rather haughty and unreasonable in his own way, most of the time, it's Frank who riles him up."
Amelia studied Kendall for a moment before smiling. "Alright. Let's not talk about this anymore. Once we're done eating, let's walk around and go shopping. Your belly will get bigger really soon and I doubt your husband will let you go shopping with me again before the baby's born."
She had spotted Dylan and his bodyguards sitting in a car nearby keeping an eye on things.
Regardless of whether it was because Dylan was worried that Frank came along or for some other reason, Amelia could still tell that Dylan prioritized Kendall above all else.
She felt glad on her friend's behalf.
"It's been so long since I last went shopping."
Kendall was usually busy with work, and when she wasn't working, she and Dylan would be glued together. Thus, she rarely had the chance to go out shopping.
The two friends kept chatting to catch up with each other after their long separation, and Amelia handed over all the souvenirs she bought for Kendall.
She even added, "Frank didn't get anything, you know. He's very envious of you."
Kendall giggled. "I think Frank will consider me his rival in love."
She was fine with that. The more furious he is, the better.
If Frank knew what Kendall was thinking, he would say, I've seen the error in my ways! I wronged you and Dylan in the previous life, but none of that happened in this life! Please have mercy on me!
Naturally, both Kendall and Dylan would only scoff in response.
As the two women went shopping, Dylan and his bodyguards silently tagged along behind them.
Most of the things Kendall bought were for the baby. She bought a couple of things for Dylan too, but she barely bought anything for herself.
She didn't need anything.
Once Dylan saw that his beloved wife's purchases were mostly for him and the baby, his icy expression thawed into an illuminating smile that rivaled the sun.
He reveled in the joy of being so important to Kendall.
It was almost time for lunch when Kendall got a call from Scott. "I'll be coming to see you in a few days, Miss Parker. I miss you so much!"
"I miss you too."
Scott was going to be a flower boy at her wedding.
He was thrilled when he heard the news and would call Kendall whenever he had time.
After all, he couldn't see the stormy expression on Dylan's face. As long as he called Kendall, she would pick up the phone, so he didn't care about Dylan's reaction.
"Scott, shouldn't you be in class right now? Why are you able to call me now?"
Kendall belatedly recalled that it was a weekday.
"Did you fall sick again?"
"I stole one of Dad's phones and brought it to kindergarten with me so that I can call you whenever I'm free, Miss Parker."
Kendall was speechless. That naughty boy!
