Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500

Without saying another word, Frank stormed off, leaving behind a baffled Amelia.

However, her stomach was more important to her at this moment. After Frank left, she slipped into the kitchen by herself and brought out the confiscated food again.

She proceeded to sit alone at the dining table and continue eating.

Yum!

Delicious!

She felt more at ease eating without the man's sharp eyes on her.

On the other hand, Desmond had watched the two enter the dining room together.

He had also seen Frank come out of the dining room after no more than five minutes. Frank could easily be mistaken for an enraged bear if a pair of fluffy ears had been added to his angry face now.

But what about Ms. Taylor?

When Desmond saw his master walk to the sofa and sit down grumpily, he couldn't help his curiosity and he eventually slipped into the dining room.

He was then greeted by the sight of Amelia freely chomping down her food.

They must have had another squabble and Master was the one who lost this time.

And now that Master isn't eating because he's worked up, Ms. Taylor is thoroughly enjoying her meal.

They're born enemies!

Ring! Ring!

Amelia's phone began to ring then.

She proceeded to take out her phone and quickly answered when she saw it was a call from her mother.

"Amy, when are you coming home? How did your movie date with Caleb end up with you being at the Mendelson Residence?!"

As angry as Sophia was, it wasn't like she could do anything to Frank.

She even had suspicions that her daughter was the one who had the Mendelsons' bodyguards bring her away because she didn't want to date Caleb.

"Mom, I'll be home as soon as I'm done."

"What are you busy with?"

While drinking the soup, Amelia explained, "Mom, as I said, I am a servant in the Mendelson Residence. Of course, I'm busy with cleaning and doing chores."

And of course, Sophia didn't believe her.

She knew that Frank had forced Amelia over to his place at first, probably to mess with Amelia so bad she had no choice but to complain to Kendall about it.

However, Amelia hadn't gone to Kendall even after a long time had passed, and yet there was always someone from the Mendelson Family who was there to pick up her daughter.

There must be a reason behind this that Sophia refused to think too much about.

She knew that Frank was as scary as Dylan. She didn't want her daughter to have anything to do with Frank.

Fortunately, Frank was very good at keeping secrets. Up to now, no one knew that Amelia was invited to the Mendelson Residence every day.

Amelia would have to suffer if reporters were to hear of it.

One of the reasons Sophia was worried was because she heard that Yasmine was wholeheartedly aiming to marry Frank after she gave up on Dylan.

She didn't know what Yasmine would do if she knew that Amelia was always with Frank.

It wasn't like Amelia had the skills to fend for herself as Kendall did.

"What are you eating?" Sophia asked.

"I'm having soup! The chef here was also hired from a five-star hotel. The soup is super good."

Sophia was silent for a beat before she growled, "Get your butt here. Right. This. Instant!"

"I have to count money, Mom!" Amelia refuted. "That's my pay today. I'll be home after I'm done counting."

"You can count when you're home."

"But Frank said I can't do that. It's better to settle anything money-related as quickly as possible."

This daughter of hers could give her a heart attack at this point. "Caleb and you…"

"I don't like him, Mom."

"He has a crush on you, and he doesn't mind that you often throw him aside halfway to go to the Mendelson Residence. What about him is it that you don't like? Amy, our family can tolerate your hobbies, but others can't. Considering how Mrs. Mullinsky surprisingly doesn't dislike you and Caleb likes you, you—"

"Mom, my phone's signal is weak after my phone made contact with water the other day. I can't hear you. I'm hanging up, okay? Let's talk tomorrow."

Amelia usually went home around midnight, and Sophia would always be asleep by then.

The only time the mother and daughter had to chat was in the morning when they had their breakfast.

Just like that, Amelia cut the call with her mother.

Sophia was left fuming and helpless. As both a woman and someone who had experienced it, she had a hunch Frank had feelings for her daughter.

However, Kendall was the one whom Frank was in love with. The whole of Orapolis had seen how persistent he was with Kendall.

The more Sophia thought about it, the more upset she became.

She finally decided she would pack up with Amelia when she came home and sneak off to the airport for the earliest flight out tomorrow on a vacation.

That was her way of preventing the Mendelsons from coming for Amelia again.

…

Kendall heard that absence made the heart grow fonder, but she had not experienced it until tonight.

Dylan was like a wolf that would lick off even her juices from her bones if he could.

"Darling…" Kendall murmured before she drifted off to sleep.

"Hmm?" He hugged her and hummed a reply before adding gently, "What is it?"

"I… never want to be away from you for more than three days from now onward."

It is way too tiring.

She finally fell asleep after uttering those words.

Pity and love filled Dylan's eyes when he looked down at the delicate woman in his arms.

He admitted he was a little too hungry for her, but she was enthusiastically reciprocating as well!

He couldn't hold back because of that.

His big palm landed on her face to touch her cheek gently. "I don't want to be separated from you too," he whispered. "Not even for a day."

The days without her by his side had been difficult.

He had to spend those days on work and taking revenge on his enemies to pass time.

While Kendall slept soundly, Dylan didn't feel sleepy at all.

He got up and walked to the suitcase that Kendall brought back from Eastfort.

They had been busy having dinner with the elders at the main house after coming home in the evening. Coupled with rolling in the sheets, they hadn't had the time to unpack her luggage.

Now that she was asleep, Dylan wanted to help her tidy up.

The suitcase had a passcode. After giving it a thought, he entered the passcode and actually managed to open it with the right passcode.

The passcode was the date of their wedding anniversary.

To be exact, it was the date they went to get their marriage certificate.

They hadn't had their wedding ceremony, after all.

Apart from some clothes, there was a big, tightly wrapped gift box which he had no idea what was in it.

Dylan curiously took out the big gift box. He wanted to open it, but he seemed to have thought of something before he gave up peeking.

After putting the gift box back into her luggage, he locked the suitcase and left the rest of the unpacking for Kendall to do tomorrow.

He would be in for a surprise that way.

It was Valentine's day tomorrow.

And it happened to be Dylan's birthday as well.

It was near afternoon when Dylan woke up the next day. He must have slept too late last night that he slept past the time he was usually awake.

The first thing he did upon waking up was to reach out to the other side of the bed, only to find the spot empty.

Kendall had left the bed a long time ago.

Seeing this left Dylan grumpy.

It was the sweetest thing having to see his lovely wife's playful smile first thing in the morning.

But she didn't wake him up or wait for him today!

As he quietly complained, he quickly got to freshen up. Just as Dylan was about to leave the room, someone suddenly pushed the door open from outside.

He then heard those familiar footsteps that put him at ease.
