"I'll get you a chair and a parasol. Don't want you getting a heatstroke now." The neighbor called his family and told them to prepare a chair, a table, and a parasol for Frank.

Frank took the offer and thanked him.

The neighbor laughed. "Oh, don't need to thank us. We've been neighbors with the Taylors for decades. Amy's half my child. We hope she'll find her own happiness. Sure, she has a… peculiar hobby, but she's a fine lady besides that. If you do marry her, just remember to invite us to your wedding."

Frank quickly said, "Of course, sir."

"I'll be waiting then. Well, gotta go, Mr. Mendelson. Things to do."

"Thank you, sir."

"Sure thing. Just take good care of Amy." The guy got into his car and left.

Kendall went to her father. There was a file that needed his signature. Her phone rang when her father was in the middle of going through the file. "Can I take this call, Mr. Parker?" Kendall called her father 'Mr. Parker' whenever they were at work, or Kelly would be mocking her.

Adam grunted. "Do it outside."

"Thank you, Mr. Parker." She exited the office and turned to the VIP room. Then she took the call. It was from Amelia."

"It's me." Amelia smiled. "Hope I didn't disturb anything."

"You sound happy."

"Oh, you know. Vacation, good food, good scenery, it makes tossing the annoying stuff back easy." Amelia was in a good mood after having a few days of vacation.

"Are you still out there?"

"Came to Nuander. Just checked in. Haven't gone shopping yet, so I thought I should call you."

"Thanks for remembering me, I guess. Called your folks yet?"

"Only my mom. Dad and Ethan will tell him where I am the moment I call," said Amelia.

Kendall smiled. "Still can't reach a decision?"

"I don't want to talk about this, Kendall. All I want is to just go wherever I want and do whatever I want. I'll go back after the Spring Festival is over. So, when's your wedding? I'll come back early." I'm her bridesmaid after all.

"Before the Spring Festival, but the date hasn't been set in stone. I'll tell you eventually. You really are gonna vacation until that time? Don't you miss him? Aren't you worried about him? He's suffered for you," Kendall teased.

A moment of silence later, Amelia said, "Well, I do miss him, but I don't want to face him so soon. And he's not suffering at all. Please, it's just a session of splitting the sesame seeds into their own color groups. Besides, he was cruel to me. Even if you can let it slide, I can't."

Frank used to dump food on her head and did not stop his dogs from running after her. Even now she was still mad at that. She wanted him to suffer more. I'm not his slave who'd do his every bidding. And before he apologizes for what he did, I will not accept him. Amelia was delighted she could finally get back at him.

Kendall smiled. "You said that, not me."

"Oh, Kendall, you know I don't blame you for that. I have to thank you. Thanks for letting him go. Both you and Dylan." Amelia knew Dylan only spared Frank because Kendall was her friend.

"Do you know what he did just to find out where you are?"

"No. And I don't want to know. He can kill himself for all I care. I won't go back."

"Please. You're not that cruel. If you don't care about him, you wouldn't call me. Not even once." She only calls me because she wants to know how Frank is doing.

Even though she was exposed, Amelia wasn't embarrassed. Instead, she chuckled. "You know me so well."
