Chapter 468 Madison Wants to Return to The King Manor Madison was laughing her head off.
Finally, she could ditch this place. Every day, she had to look after Lucy, pour water, feed her meds, tell stories, and fake being all patient and sweet to keep Lucy calm.
Faking it for a bit was cool, but doing it every single day? Exhausting. Plus, Kelvin was already on her side, so no more need to play nice.
She had been hated by everyone before, but she had Kelvin and Lucy wrapped around her finger now.
Madison had flipped the script! She could finally strut her stuff! A bright and shiny future was waiting for her! "Mommy, once we get home, you can chill a bit," Lucy said, still thinking about Madison's feelings. "Watching you take care ofevery day, I think you're too tired." "For you, Lucy, it's no biggie," Madison said.
Lucy grabbed her hand, then grabbed Kelvin's. "Daddy, hold Mommy's hand." Kelvin didn't even blink and held it tight.
Madison was stoked. Kelvin really liked her, holding her hand so tight without a second thought; it was pure instinct.
Kelvin's fingertips even brushed the back of her hand gently.
Thinking about how Penelope used to get this kind of treatment from Kelvin, Madison's jealousy flared up.
But who cared? From now on, this special treatment and affection would all be hers! "Holding hands," Kelvin said, "Lucy, and then?" Lucy beamed. "Our family will always be together, never apart!" "Never apart," Kelvin echoed, "We will never be apart." Madison happily leaned on his shoulder.
He leaned in a bit towards her too.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe scene was picture-perfect.
Kelvin fought the urge to glance at the door.
Penelope was still outside.
She saw everything.
He didn't dare to look at those disappointed eyes behind the glass.
Outside.
Penelope's hand was on the doorknob, and it took all her willpower not to burst in! What a twisted and cruel mind! Madison clearly wanted to get back to King Manor and used this trick to scare Lucy into it! Such a nasty and evil thought! How could a kid handle such a scare? What if it left a lifelong scar? Lucy had always been a good kid, knowing she had to stay in the hospital when she was sick.
If she wasn't super scared, Lucy wouldn't have just asked to go home.
Penelope wanted to go in so many times but had to hold back.
Lucy was so happy now. If Lucy saw her, that smile would vanish for sure.
Madison packed up in no time. It was clear she had everything ready in the suitcase, just waiting to be discharged.
Kelvin saw through it but kept quiet.
After all, the current him was head over heels for Madison, not the Kelvin of the past! "Lucy, let's go home." Kelvin picked Lucy up from the hospital bed. "No matter what happens in the future, you can cto Daddy first, okay?" "But Daddy, most of the time, you're busy working at the company," Lucy said.
"It's cool. You can callanytime," he said.
Lucy replied, "With Mommy around, I can go to her first!" "Yes," Madison jumped in, "Mr. Davis, leave all the household stuff to me." If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues.

Isabella had it all-great background, awesfamily, and her fiancé Brandon was always super chill and generous, letting her run the Walker family affairs. Even though they weren't hitched yet, she was already treated like the queen bee.
So, Madison wanted to be like Isabella! To have the rights of the queen bee! Kelvin brushed Lucy's hair off her forehead. "The King Manor has a housekeeper. I don't want you to get too worn out." He both shot down Madison and made her happy.
He said it without giving anything away.
"It's cool, Mr. Davis." Madison quickly said, "I'm not scared of hard work; I just want to help you out!" Kelvin hesitated for a few seconds before speaking lightly, "You can tell the housekeeper what to do; of course, you can also make decisions." Hearing the words "make decisions," Madison knew she had hit the jackpot.
From now on, she would be running the show at King Manor! Kelvin carried Lucy out. "Looks like Lucy likes Mommy more, even more than she likes me." "No way!" Lucy immediately explained, "I like Daddy and Mommy the same!" "Then why did you say no when I said you should ctofirst if something happens?" Kelvin said.
"Because Daddy is busy with work," Lucy said.
Kelvin replied, "Mommy is also tired. When we get home, she has to manage the whole house with hundreds of servants. Don't bug her with your problems. Lucy, ctomore often. Don't let her worry about you, okay?" Lucy thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay!" "Promise." Kelvin extended his finger. "This is our little secret." Lucy smiled innocently.
Their fingers hooked together.
"Lucy, did you remember?" Kelvin reminded again, "Who do you go to first if something happens?"

"Go to Daddy first!" Lucy said. "Right, very smart." Kelvin was making sure Madison couldn't hide stuff and let Lucy suffer!
He wanted to strengthen the father-daughter bond so Lucy would lean on him more. With Penelope gone, he had to step up and protect Lucy! Madison followed behind, not knowing what the father and daughter were whispering about, and she didn't care.
Thinking about moving into the King Manor as the 'future queen bee, she was so pumped that she didn't care about Kelvin and Lucy's conversation! Walking out of the ward, Kelvin didn't see Penelope.
His eyes casually scanned the corridor, then he withdrew them indifferently, but his heart sank.
Penelope was probably in scorner, silently heartbroken.
Unfortunately, he couldn't comfort her, couldn't even show any concern! Kelvin's fingers on Lucy's back slightly curled.
The corridor echoed with footsteps.
Kelvin carried Lucy in front, and Madison walked proudly beside him.
As if the man and child next to her were her husband and daughter! Penelope stood at the corner of the hallway, quietly watching Kelvin's tall figure.
He had changed to someone she didn't recognize, someone she couldn't understand.
Maybe she had thought too highly of Kelvin. In reality, he had always been a ruthless, selfish person.
He had never changed.
The one that changed was Penelope's heart.
Kelvin said he loved her, showed gentleness and care, and she gradually let down her guard.
Penelope thought she was really foolish.
