Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 464

After Desmond saw Frank out the door, he quickly departed for the Taylors.

Amelia was relieved after knowing that Kendall was safe. On top of the fact that she did not have to wait upon

Frank, that twisted man, she fell into such a deep sleep to the point where she was still in dreamland when

Desmond arrived at her place.

Phoning her non-stop, Desmond did not get an answer. In an act of desperation, he could only ring the doorbell.

The Taylor Family only hired two servants; one of them was responsible for cooking while the other cleaned the

household.

Hearing the doorbell ring, the servant in charge of cleaning did not even put her broom down when she rushed to

open the door. She kept her guard up at the sight of Desmond and asked, "Sir, may I ask who you're looking for?"

"Hi. Is Miss Amelia Taylor at home?"

After scanning him from head to toe, the servant replied, "Miss is still asleep. Can I ask for your name, Sir? Also,

why are you looking for Miss so early?"

"I'm the butler of the Mendelson Family, Desmond," he announced his identity.

After all, all the servants working for the wealthy families knew about the rich. The Mendelsons only got famous

because Frank was the sworn enemy of Dylan, whose influence was so great that it impacted Frank's reputation.

If Frank could hear this, he would be shouting at how he was not inferior to Dylan. Even without Dylan, he was a

relatively famous person.

"Please wait for a moment, Mr. Desmond. I'll inform the madam." The servant then shut the door and went inside.

Meanwhile, Sophia was not on the ground floor as she was right in front of her daughter's room. She knocked on

the door in an attempt to wake Amelia up.

"Amy, wake up. It's already 8.00AM. Why are you still asleep? Wake up and eat something. Then, accompany me to

meet Harriet at Urban Break. I want to introduce her son to you." Sophia was worried sick about her daughter's

love life.

Every time she set up a blind date for Amelia, there would be no follow-up from the man. This was because each

time Amelia met someone, she would tell her date that she fancied a lot of men, so most of them thought that she

was loose.

If one worried about being cuckolded after marriage, who would continue to stay in contact?

The slightly wealthy all knew about the particular hobby of Amelia, who loved to take candid photos of handsome

men. One time, she even got into trouble with Frank because of that.

If one really married such a woman, not only would they be constantly jealous, they might even have to be

prepared to clean up her mess, for she might implicate her husband due to her peculiar hobby.

Hence, this was why Amelia had countless dates to no avail.

This time, the son of Sophia's long-time friend had returned from abroad. Since he was abroad for some time, she

thought that he might be more open. As for Harriet, she basically watched Amelia grow up and believed that she

was not one who would betray her husband. As for that hobby of hers, they thought that she would still be able to

control herself if they advised her about it.

Therefore, the two mothers agreed to let their children meet up.

"Amy, do you hear me? Get up now!" Sophia started to bang on the door.

At that moment, she had the impulse to kick the door down.

Finally, Amelia opened the door.

At the sight of her messy hair and cartoon-themed pajamas with no slippers, Sophia was livid!

Poking her daughter's forehead, she chided, "Look at you! You're a mess from head to toe. Also, can't you get

another pair of pajamas? Are you still a child, sleeping in cartoon-themed clothes?"

Amelia stepped back and tilted her head, not letting her mother poke her.

"Mom, you'll drill a hole into my head."

"There's nothing in there anyway."

"It's precisely because I'm dumb that you shouldn't poke me. If I become a fool from all your poking, then nobody

will marry me. You'll have to take care of me for life then."

Sophia was speechless with anger. As she entered the room, she went straight to the wardrobe and opened it

before picking a set of clothes for her daughter. She then turned around and threw it to Amelia. "Change into these.

Remember to comb your hair and tie it."

Amelia, who caught the clothes thrown by her mother, looked at it before her expression turned sour. "Mom, I don't

like these clothes."

The clothes would make her look very conservative.

And I am not one.

She preferred something simpler and comfortable.

"When you go to the date later, you'll wear this. Also, act more ladylike." Sophia rejected her daughter's pleas and

insisted on her changing into the clothes.

"Mom, I don't want to go on a date. Mrs. Mullinsky's son always bullied me when we were younger. I don't want to

have a blind date with him."

"Well, she's the only left who doesn't look down upon you now. If not him, then who? Both of you didn't know

anything back then. It's normal for children to fight. Now that you're all in your twenties and thirties, why bother

remembering the niggles from your childhood?"

Hence, this was why Amelia had countless dates to no avail.

"Amy, Harriet and I have a very deep friendship. She watched you grow up too. If you married into her family, I

don't have to worry about you getting bullied. Our families are quite a match too, so there's no issue of who is the

superior one. I've seen Kendall getting bullied by her in-laws, so I'm not about to let you face the same thing."

Mentioning Kendall made Sophia's tone gentler as she sighed and said, "With Kendall's condition, she would've led a

very happy life if she met a man with a similar family background to hers. Yet, she had to get married to the

Colemans… They have more rules than hair there. The women of the Coleman Family cannot work and they can

only stay at home."

"Although Kendall still insisted on working, even with Master Dylan shielding her, she still got chased out of the

family by Old Mrs. Coleman in the end."

"Amy, how is Kendall now?" Sophia was still worried about her daughter's best friend.

After Kendall's incident, she had been urging Amelia to accompany her.

"She's in Eastfort for a change of pace now. Since she saved the young master of the Ford Family in Eastfort,

nobody dares to disturb her for the time-being as she's under the Fords' protection."

"Will she and Master Dylan file for divorce?"

Amelia replied unwaveringly, "They won't."

Sighing again, Sophia did not continue the conversation regarding Kendall. Instead, she went back to talking about

the blind date and urged her daughter to change.

Under her mother's pressure, Amelia could only hug the clothes before begrudgingly entering the bathroom.

Just as she entered, the servant knocked on the door.

Since the door was not closed, the servant stood at the entrance and told Sophia, "Madam, there's a Mr. Desmond

at the door. He said that he's the butler of the Mendelsons and that he's here for Miss."

Turning around, Sophia asked, "The butler of the Mendelsons? Why is he here for Amy?"

In actuality, Sophia was clueless about Frank's constant 'pickup service' for Amelia. This was because she was

mostly picked up outside their compound. If Amelia was at home, then Desmond would call her first before she

made up an excuse to go out.

Since she often came home late every time she went out, Sophia had gotten used to it, so she did not know the

countless times where her daughter had interacted with Frank.
