From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 448 I'm Afraid It Will Affect Your Remarriage Just a minute ago, Kelvin was all up in her face, and now he was acting all sweet and lovey-dovey.

"What's his deal? Is he like, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or something?" "What are you doing?" She squirmed a bit. "You better back off, or I'll scream bloody murder. Seriously, watch it!" Kelvin chuckled, "Still mad, huh?" "You can trash-talk me, but I can't be mad?" Penelope wriggled smore. When Kelvin still wouldn't let go, she stomped hard on his fancy shoe and yanked her hand free.

She darted a few steps away, then spun around to glare at him. "I'll just assyou're still loopy from being sick and talking out of your butt, so I won't fight with you. Now that you're up and about, I'm outta here." Kelvin asked, all calm and collected, "Why'd you come?" "Huh?" "Why'd you cto take care of me?" he pressed. "You could've just ignored me." Penelope was stumped. After a few seconds, she said, "The butler sent a car. The driver was waiting downstairs, and I felt bad saying no! Yeah, I'm just a pushover like that!" Kelvin gave her a long look. "Penelope, that's not it. You showed up 'cause you were worried about me." Penelope bit her lip.

Why'd he have to call her out like that? When Kelvin lied about just passing by her place, she didn't call him out! "Yeah, fine, I was worried," Penelope admitted. "I don't want Lucy to finally find her dad only to discover he's becan idiot due to a high fever!" Seeing the tension rise, the butler quickly stepped in. "Mrs. Davis, Mr. Davis just got over his fever, and you know how he is." The butler then raised his voice, "Mr. Davis had the kitchen whip up your favorite breakfast as soon as he cdownstairs. He's thinking of you." Penelope pouted and stayed quiet.

She didn't want to fight with Kelvin either.

It was too draining, especially first thing in the morning.

She'd taken care of him all night, and he didn't even appreciate it, just grilling her about why she came.

Penelope didn't know why either. Let's just say she had nothing better to do! "I'm not eating." Penelope said, "I gotta get to the office. I'm almost late..." Wait, it was already noon.

She wasn't late; she was actually taking a half-day off! "Eat something, don't starve." Kelvin headed to the dining room. "It won't count as taking a day off. You were taking care of me, after all." His words instantly made her feel better.

Right, she wasn't at the office 'cause she was taking care of Kelvin.

Then she heard Kelvin say, "By the way, cto the office withlater." "Okay." Penelope agreed, just like that.

He looked at her, surprised, his Adam's apple bobbing, but he didn't say anything.

Logically, Penelope should've refused, saying she'd take a cab or the bus.

She always avoided being alone with him.

Kelvin didn't know what was up, but he sensed something was off.

In the car, Penelope finally spoke, "I wanna talk about the divorce." Kelvin's heart skipped a beat at her words.

But on the outside, he played it cool, "Divorce?" "Yeah. We're still hitched, but there's no love left. Keeping this marriage isn't doing us any favors," Penelope said. "What if it messes up your chances of finding someone new?" After a few seconds of awkward silence, Kelvin's coughing broke the tension.

He clenched his hand into a fist, brought it to his mouth, and coughed like crazy, his back slightly hunched.

Seeing this, Penelope instinctively reached out to pat his back.

But then she thought, 'Why bother?' "Cut down on the smokes," she said. "They're killing you." She'd seen Kelvin with a cigarette between his fingers more times than she could count. When he saw her, he'd put it out.

Or he'd sneak off to smoke, but she could still catch a whiff of tobacco on him.

'Kelvin didn't smoke this much, not this often four years ago.' 'Has he been chain-smoking and drinking like a fish these past four years?' Kelvin finally stopped hacking. "Penelope, you just said it would mess up my chances of remarrying?" "Yeah," Penelope replied.

"Who would I remarry?" Kelvin asked.

Penelope paused for a few seconds and then answered, "Life's long. Maybe you'll meet..." Before she could finish, Kelvin cut in, "I won't." The car went dead silent.

After a bit, Kelvin spoke again, "If you're dead set on getting a divorce and that divorce certificate, I can make it happen." Penelope didn't know what to say.

Whether they divorced or not didn't seem to matter much.

"How about this?" Kelvin sighed softly. "If you meet someone you want to marry in the future, we'll get the divorce certificate then. I won't stop you, and I won't refuse to divorce. You can chill." Penelope asked, "What if I don't want to remarry?" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience-all for free.

He turned to look into her eyes, his The gaze deep as the ocean) "Penelope, I don't want to remarry either." If neither of them wanted to remarry, then why not just keep things as they are?

"A marriage certificate doesn't tie you down," Kelvin said. "Or let's wait until Lucy is back to normal and then talk about the divorce, okay?" Penelope absentmindedly twisted her fingers. "Lucy..." She missed Lucy so much.

She wanted to hug her, hear her sweet voice calling her mommy, tell her stories, and braid her hair with ribbons.

But now, Madison did all these things.

Kelvin said, "Lucy will be back with you soon." Penelope met his gaze. "Really?" "Really. Trust me," Kelvin said.

At that moment, Penelope saw the sincerity in Kelvin's eyes.

She believed every word he said.

"Okay." Penelope nodded. "Kelvin, I believe you. I believe you'll bring Lucy back tosafe and sound." Kelvin's gaze deepened, becoming unfathomable.

He had so many thoughts, so many plans, but he couldn't tell anyone! He had to keep it all to himself! Because if Madison sensed anything was off, the plan would totally tank! Kelvin couldn't hold back any longer. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tight like he never wanted to let go.

"Penelope, please always, always, unconditionally trust the current me.' Kelvin promised in her ear, "And remember, no matter what I become, hehe no matter what I do, it's all for you and Lucy. I will love you forever, until death do us part."
