Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 681 Stealing a Kiss

"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."
