"That explains why your car broke down on the highway."
"I'll drive a better car the next time I head out to pick you up," Ethan promised sheepishly. "So sorry
about this, Amy. It's not that I didn't want to come and get you. My car just wouldn't cooperate."
"It's fine. I'm not mad at you. I'll head back once I'm done eating."
Ethan gave Amelia a few reminders before hanging up.
Once he was off the phone, he turned to Frank's bodyguards and said, "I did as you requested. Am I
allowed to leave now?"
"This was our idea, Mr. Taylor. Mr. Mendelson had no part in this, so please don't hold it against him.
I'm sure you've seen what he has done recently for your sister's sake."
Joshua and the other bodyguards made sure to distance Frank from their little trick. In reality, they were
indeed acting on their own accord.
After receiving the order from Frank, they left the airport and headed back to the city. When they heard
that Ethan would be picking Amelia up at the airport, Joshua and the rest of the bodyguards jumped
into action. They found Ethan and stopped him by the side of the road.
They prevented Ethan from picking Amelia up so that Frank could get an opportunity to spend more
time with her.
Frank had been pining for Amelia the whole time, and now that she was finally back, the bodyguards
wanted to make sure they had some alone time.
This was the only thing they could do for Frank.
They fervently hoped that their boss would seize this chance to convince Amelia to forgive him.
"Our hearts ache for Mr. Mendelson, so that's why we took matters into our own hands and stopped
you, Mr. Taylor. Please rest assured. I'm sure Ms. Taylor will get home safely. Mr. Mendelson will
personally escort her home."
Ethan remained silent for a few moments before he chuckled. "When I saw you guys, I figured that Mr.
Mendelson must've gone to the airport. Fine. Since his feelings are so deep that he stayed outside our
house the whole time, I won't bear any ill-will toward him for this. But, regardless of what he does for
Amy in the future, I hope you guys don't try to interfere again. If he can't touch Amy's heart with his own
sincerity, Amy wouldn't want to marry him and as her family, we wouldn't approve either."
While Ethan thought that Frank was someone he could trust to marry Amelia, he took her side no
matter what.
Furthermore, after seeing everything Frank had done for Kendall in the past, Ethan wanted to see what
he would do for Amelia.
"Don't worry, Mr. Taylor. We won't be doing this again."
In all honesty, Joshua didn't mean what he said, but he was able to look sincere enough that Ethan
trusted him.
Meanwhile, Amelia grumbled under her breath as she put her phone away.
"Since brother Ethan can't come, Amy, why don't you ride home with me?" Frank asked gently.
"Who are you calling brother? That's my brother, not yours."
"Since he's your brother, it makes him my brother too!"
Amelia was speechless.
"Tell the truth, Frank. Did you do something? Did my brother's car really break down, or did you get
your people to stop him from coming to pick me up?"
Here I was, thinking he'd become more considerate of others now. Alas, there's no praising this man.
You'd be proven wrong as soon as you do.
"I didn't! I swear I didn't!"
Frank refused to admit it, and fair enough, it wasn't him.
He didn't give such an order.
"Really?"
Amelia was still suspicious.
"If I did what you suspect of me, then may I never get to marry you!" Frank swore.
This was the most vicious swear he could come up with.
Amelia couldn't say anything to that.
Her cheeks slowly turned pink.
Too afraid to meet his intense gaze, she lowered her head and resumed eating.
They were both hungry and soon polished off the food in front of them.
"Is this your first meal of the day?" Amelia asked as she wiped her mouth with her napkin.
"How did you know?"
Amelia glared at him. "You're a grown man in your thirties, so why are you acting like a three-year-old?
You always starve yourself whenever things don't go your way. Sooner or later, you'll ruin your digestive
system. Let's see how you endure the suffering then."
In the past, he would lock himself in his room and refuse to eat or drink anything whenever he felt hurt
because of Kendall. Desmond would fret and seek out Amelia's help.
"I-I wanted to come and pick you up at the airport, so I forgot to eat. Do I look ugly now, Amy?"
"You look all scruffy, scrawny, and haggard right now, so what makes you think you look good? If all the
women who were infatuated with you took a look at you now, you wouldn't be the man of their dreams
anymore."
Frank chuckled. "I don't want to be the man of their dreams anyway. I just want to be the man of your
dreams."
Amelia was speechless.
Ethan wasn't coming, and as Amelia had turned down Kendall's offer earlier, she had no choice but to
accept Frank's offer to give her a ride home.
Along the way, neither one of them spoke much. Amelia was exhausted from the flight. She leaned
against the seat to stare out the window and her eyes slowly drifted shut. She couldn't take it anymore
and decided to nap for a short while.
She ended up falling fast asleep.
When things seemed too quiet, Frank turned to look at Amelia and realized she was sleeping.
He quickly adjusted the air-conditioning to make the temperature a little higher in case she felt too cold.
It was 9.00PM by the time they got back to Taylor Residence.
Thankfully, they had eaten at the airport before making the trip back, or otherwise, they would have
been starving.
After stopping the car outside Taylor Residence, Frank didn't honk to get someone to open the gate. He
turned and stared silently at Amelia's sleeping profile. She had ended her trip in a hurry and rushed
home, so she must be exhausted.
Frank couldn't bear to wake her up.
He leaned over and gently stroked her hair before swiftly withdrawing his hand out of fear that she
would wake up.
However, after seeing that Amelia showed no signs of stirring, he got bolder and gently caressed her
face this time.
His fingers glided across her cheeks, eyes, nose, and lips. It was as if his fingers wanted to keep a
record of her entire face.
This alone wasn't enough to make up for all of Frank's longing. He glanced at the house. Even though
the lights were on, no one knew that they were parked outside the house. No one came out to check on
things, so all was quiet around them with not a single soul in sight.
Frank immediately undid his seatbelt and leaned even closer to Amelia's face before gingerly giving her
a soft peck on the lips.
Although he regretted his recklessness when he forced a kiss on her back then, he missed the touch of
her lips against his.
He wanted to do it again. Not just once. Countless times.
Afraid that he might wake Amelia up, he simply brushed his lips against hers before hastening back to
his seat and eyeing her carefully.
Amelia was still sound asleep.
However, just a few moments later, her eyes opened.
Amelia was still feeling rather drowsy. As she straightened up, she looked out the window and rubbed
her eyes before asking Frank, "Have we arrived?"
"Only just. I was going to wake you up, but you woke up before I could," Frank replied. He was
immensely glad that he had withdrawn in time instead of attempting to deepen the kiss. Otherwise, if he
had woken Amelia up, he would've given her a terrible fright yet again.
"Oh," Amelia said a little embarrassedly. "I only wanted to nap for a bit, but I ended up sleeping for so
long."
