Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 678

They were stuck in traffic for more than half an hour, and once they got out of that stretch of road, Frank told the driver to go full speed ahead. After some effort, they made it to the airport before six. The moment they arrived, Frank told his bodyguards to keep an eye out on all the exits and find Amelia. Every few minutes, he would call Amelia's number, but her phone was turned off. He too was keeping an eye on the exit, scanning every person who came out. He was worried he might miss Amelia.

At the same time, an airplane from Xinther landed at the airport. Once they landed, Amelia turned off airplane mode on her phone, and she got a signal. First, she called her brother. When Ethan picked it up, he said, "I'm back, Ethan. Can you pick me up?"

"Amelia? You're finally back. Honestly, I can't believe you'd run away for so long, and you didn't even call me or Dad. What, is Mom your only family now? Do you think she's the only one who'll help you? You think Dad and I are going to just sell you out?"

Ethan had a lot of complaints, and now that he finally had the chance to let it all out, he let it all out. Only then did he feel better. "You should've called. It'll take me at least two hours to get to the airport. Three hours because it's peak hour right now. Traffic's going to be a nightmare." I can't believe she wouldn't call me.

"I can always get a cab if you can't make it."

"I can. I just need you to wait for me. It's a long way back from the airport, and it's going to get dark soon. You're young and pretty, hence a target. What if something happens to you if you take a cab? I'm coming right away. In the meantime, you wait in a restaurant or something."

"Sure. I'll wait."

"Don't do this next time. Tell me where you're going. I don't want to get into whatever's between you and Frank, but I'm on your side. You can't force love, but you can't just dismiss it. Does he know you're back?"

A moment of silence later, she said, "I've never called."

"Oh my God, you're cruel. He comes over every day just to wait for you. Even our neighbors have warmed up to him."

"He comes every day?" She thought he would go back to his old life if she stayed out of touch, but this was surprising. He's been waiting for me? But he doesn't even know when I'm coming back. If it weren't for the fact that she had to be Kendall's bridesmaid, she'd have only returned after the Spring Festival.

"Every single day, no matter rain or sunshine. It's winter now, and even though it's super cold, he still comes anyway. Sometimes there's a drizzle, but he still sits there all day. Mom never asked him to come in no matter how bad the weather was. Either I or Dad would ask him in, but that was only when we were around. He'd have a hot meal then, but that was it."

"He didn't have to do it." NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Ethan sighed. "I'm not taking his side, but he does love you, and you do have feelings for him too. If you're fine with it, you can always date him."

"But he's Dylan's enemy. I can't turn my back on Kendall just for him."

"You really have to see the bright side of things. It's not like you'll be Kendall's enemy if you date Frank. You and Kendall can work to ease the tension between Frank and Dylan too. They don't have a deep grudge, but they do have similar personalities, so they can't get along well. There are no enemies or friends in business, only profit. They've been enemies for a long time, so I think it's okay for them to try to be friends."

"Gee, someone's positive. You think I can change him?" Dylan loved Kendall. He might listen to her and get along with Frank, but she didn't think she could convince Frank to do the same with Dylan.

"Well, you have to try. Oh, I have to drive now. Talk to you later, and don't run around. Just wait for me."

"Yeah. Don't go too fast. I'll call Mom and ask her to leave some food for me." A moment of silence later, she said, "I've never called."

After they hung up, she called Sophia. After she told Sophia to leave some food for her, she disembarked. She got up and took her suitcase, then she followed the crowd out.

Everyone went their own ways after they disembarked. Amelia walked alone with her suitcase in tow. She saw a lot of people outside, welcoming their friends, relatives, or probably family. She wasn't expecting anyone to welcome her, but she still scanned the crowd, and then she saw a familiar face. Frank. She stopped and held the handle of her suitcase tightly, staring at him. Should I face him?

"Amelia!" Frank noticed her immediately and waved at her.

Amelia was silent for a while, after which she approached him. Now that she was back, she must face this, and she was prepared for it. What she wasn't prepared for was his welcoming her at the airport. Kendall told him. So, she agrees to this?

She was reminded of what Kendall told her. Kendall told her to listen to her heart. If she loved Frank, then she should accept him. If she didn't love him, then she was free to do what she wanted to. Kendall told her to just do what she wanted and not shackle herself just for her. "Why are you…"

Her sentence was cut short as Frank pulled her into his embrace and hugged her as tightly as he could. All she could do was lean on his chest. "Amelia!"

He tightened his hug. He had missed her, and now she was back, and he finally saw her. "I can't believe you, Amelia! It's good to see you. You're finally back! Do you know how much I've missed you?"

He rested his chin on her shoulder, muttering to himself, telling her of his longing. Amelia tried to break free, but he held her tighter, worried that she might leave him again if he let her go. The days without her were torture. Every second felt like an eternity, and countless eternities had gone by, but now he could finally see her.
