Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 579

"I'm going to give her a phone call right now." Sophia was about to dial her ex-best buddy's phone number in anger.

"Mom." Amelia quickly stopped her and said, "Forget about it. It's good enough that we know what sort of person he is."

"But his mom blames you for this. She blames you for being a gold digger, and that's why you think Caleb's an unworthy match."

Sophia could not take the injustice of the situation. Everyone's child is precious! Harriet dotes on her son, so why can't I dote on my daughter too?!

Amelia remained silent for a moment before uttering in a soft voice, "Mom, she wasn't wrong either. I've fallen for Frank, and because of him, I chose not to date Caleb. Otherwise… I might've chosen him."

Sophia stared intently at her daughter for some time before reaching out to push Amelia's forehead backward as she scolded, "Gosh, you silly girl. What can I say? I knew something was going on between the two of you when I saw you guys meet up every day, and the Mendelson butler behaved so respectfully around you. That night, President Mendelson also stayed over for supper at our place. He tried to pursue Kendall and win her from Dylan not long ago. Although he's stopped pursuing her recently, he's still at loggerheads with Dylan. You're best friends with Kendall, so if you were to end up in a relationship with Frank, you might get influenced and gradually stand on his side. By then, your friendship with Kendall would be over. Not only that, you guys might even end up being enemies instead."

Amelia revealed a torn look as she explained, "Frank would never do anything to hurt Kendall. He said he has given up on her, but he still cares for her. With Kendall around, his rivalry with Dylan won't be overly intense. He would need to consider Kendall's feelings. Honestly, he's most worried about her hating him."

Truthfully, Frank remained concerned about Kendall as before, but Amelia had fallen for him, so she was utterly torn. She knew that she would not be able to give up on her love for Frank as this was the first time she truly fell in love.

"How can you be sure that he has given up on Kendall? Wait, he tried to win Kendall over from Dylan all because he's against Dylan, right? So, how could he possibly relent because of Kendall?"

Amelia responded, "Mom, the situation between Kendall and Frank isn't as what you imagined. On the contrary, his obsession with Kendall in the past had nothing to do with his feud with Dylan."

She was sure that if Kendall encountered trouble, Frank would imminently help her. Even if he was not going to offer help directly, he would surely worry about her secretly. Each time he brought up Kendall in front of Amelia, his expression would soften significantly.

"I don't care what the actual situation is between him and Kendall. He's not a good match for you, Amy. Don't fall for him. You've got to give up as soon as possible."


Thud. Thud.

The knocks sounded on the door, and their conversation was interrupted.

"Mrs. Taylor, Ms. Taylor, President Mendelson is here. He's waiting downstairs," the servant announced politely outside the door.

Both mother and daughter duo were momentarily speechless.

In the end, Amelia responded, "Got it."

"Tell President Mendelson that we'll be there in a short while."

"Sure." The servant turned around and left.

Downstairs, Frank sat on the couch and waited along with Desmond, a bouquet, and two sets of jewelry.

Desmond encouraged Frank to apologize to Amelia for his action yesterday and to explain that he did not regard her as a replacement.

"Sir, later on, you must explain things properly to Ms. Taylor. You wouldn't want the misunderstanding to deepen," Desmond reminded Frank gingerly, for Frank was rather inadequate at dealing with emotions.

For the sake of Frank's ultimate happiness, Desmond was all in!

Meanwhile, Frank's countenance maintained solemn. He might appear expressionless but was, in reality, highly strung. After all, he came bearing flowers and jewelry. Although it was a gift on the pretext of a token of his apology, it was frankly his way of showing love to Amelia.

Sophia was the first to come downstairs.

As soon as Frank saw his future mother-in-law, he stood up in haste. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Taylor," he greeted her politely.

At that moment, she paused in her tracks and nearly escaped in fright due to Frank's rare occasion of courtesy. The mighty President Mendelson is speaking to me so politely!

"Nice to meet you, President Mendelson." Soon, Sophia regained her composure and walked over nonchalantly. She noticed the servants had already served some refreshments for Frank and Desmond, so she was pleased that they had been respectful to the guests. Subsequently, she invited Frank to take a seat.

"President Mendelson, what's the purpose of your visit today?" She glanced at the bouquet in Frank's arms and the two ivory boxes on the coffee table as she gingerly prodded him.

"I… Amelia skipped work without a reason today, so I came over to see why."

Instantly, Sophia was rendered speechless, and so was Desmond.

I've reminded Mr. Mendelson, yet he… He was mortified and wished so badly to leave the scene. Why does Mr. Mendelson always ruin things between him and Ms. Taylor? He always seemed to handle things well when pursuing Young Mistress Coleman in the past. He fawned over her non-stop!
