From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 481 This Wedding is Cancleled "Alright, alright, don't let this mess up your vibe," Madison said, sticking to Kelvin like glue. "Mr. Walker, it's not every day you drop by the King Manor. How about you stay for dinner? Lucy and Sam hardly get to hang out; they'll have a blast." Brandon wasn't feeling dinner at all.

He wanted to bounce right away! But he had to stick around 'cause he needed to take Sam with him.

Penelope was crashing at the King Manor, and Connor couldn't handle everything solo, so Sam had to roll back to the Walker fam with him.

"I got stuff to do," Brandon said. "I'll swing by later to pick up Sam." Then, he grabbed Penelope to leave.

Penelope hesitated, but Brandon was dead set, holding her hand tight.

With no other option, Penelope followed him out.

No one caught Kelvin's eyes narrowing, a flash of possessiveness in his gaze as he stared at Brandon's hand. He wished he could chop it off! Who gave him the right to hold Penelope's hand? And so tightly! If it were back in the day, Kelvin would've rushed over, split them up, and pulled Penelope into his arms to stake his claim! But now...

He had to suck it up! He knew Penelope was also putting up with him.

In the quiet of the night, Kelvin often wondered if enduring this moment would lead to the life he wanted.

He was playing Madison, looking for a way to break the spell on Lucy. He had his own baggage and pain.

And Penelope wouldn't get it.

But he got her, pain because he caused it.

For Lucy, to deal with Madison, Kelvin had no choice but to do this.

"Mr. Walker and Penelope are way too close. No wonder Isabella gets all jealous and upset," Madison said. "Guys and girls should keep sdistance. Holding hands like that is just too much." But for Madison, this was a win.

The closer Penelope and Brandon got, the more upset Isabella would be, and naturally, she'd help Madison more! Kelvin lost the mood to keep up the act and got up to head to the study.

"Kelvin," Madison called out, "where you going?" "I got a video conference," Kelvin replied.

"I'll bring you sfruit to the study." Madison felt content; this was the life she had always dreamed of.

But...

The happier she was now, the more miserable her future would be! By the garden.

Brandon's face was dark with anger, but he couldn't bring himself to snap at her.

He felt bad for her.

The days ahead at the King Manor would surely be rough for her! "Penelope, can't you see that Madison agreed to let you stay and take care of Lucy just to humiliate you?" Brandon asked. "She even set such harsh conditions, and you agreed to all of them!" "I don't care how much trouble Madison causes; I care about Lucy," Penelope replied.

"No matter what, Lucy is Kelvin's daughter. He will take care of her!" Brandon said. Penelope replied, "I don't trust him. Besides, he has no experience taking care of kids." Brandon added, "But the King Manor has a butler and servants!" "Mr. Walker, ever heard the saying," Penelope sighed, "A stepmom's arrival often leads to alienation between a biological dad and his child." It's harsh, but it's real.

"Madison has never been sincere to Lucy. Now she's pretending to be nice to her, but who knows when she'll flip. By then, Kelvin will side with her, and Lucy..." Penelope couldn't bear to think further.

Brandon said, "Lucy not recognizing you is just a phase. We can't let Madison always get her way!" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues.

"But now, not only is Lucy siding with Madison, even Kelvin..." She still remembered Kelvin's solemn promises.

They seemed to echo in her ears.

He said, "Leave it to me." He said, "Trust me." She trusted him like she trusted Brandon.

Penelope had planned to do that, but Kelvin was not worthy.

He would never be like Brandon, unconditionally good to her, always thinking of her! "Kelvin..." Brandon frowned, "is definitely acting weird." Seeing Brandon's serious expression, Penelope wanted to tell him that maybe all of this was related to Isabella.

But the words stuck in her throat.

Without concrete evidence, she didn't want Brandon to overthink.

After all, he and Isabella were destined to be lifelong partners.

"Brandon, your wedding with Ms. Mitchell is coming up, right?" Penelope smiled.

"You're so busy, yet you still worry about my stuff. I'm really sorry." Brandon's expression was a bit strange.

But Penelope didn't think much of it.

She was already overwhelmed and had no energy to guess what Brandon was thinking.

Brandon replied, "Yeah, the wedding is soon." "Congrats in advance," Penelope said.

"I've always believed she was the one, you know, because she's the adopted daughter of the Mitchell family. I would only marry a daughter of the Mitchell family. But..." Brandon hesitated.

But the real daughter of the Mitchell family had appeared.

His first choice could no longer be Isabella! To put it bluntly, Isabella was just a stand-in for the real Mitchell family daughter! But this matter was too complicated for Brandon to acknowledge rashly.

"What's wrong?" Penelope tried to lighten the mood, pretending to tease, "Got pre- wedding jitters?" "I..." Brandon hesitated.

Seeing his overly serious expression, Penelope slowly put away her smile. "Mr. Walken are you really afraid of getting married?" He and Isabella had known each other since childhood.

But they had delayed until now, deciding to get married only at the end of this year.

Four years ago, when Penelope left LA, she thought they were about to get married. Unexpectedly, four years NO later, her two kids were already so grown up, but Brandon and Isabella's wedding still hadn't happened. Brandon shook his head, "No. I'm just afraid that the person I marry won't be the life partner I want." "Isabella is the one you chose," Penelope looked at him, "unless..." There was only one possibility.

Unless the real Mitchell family daughter were found and returned.

Brandon looked at her, his eyes clear. "Penelope, if I told you that I already know Ms.

Mitchell's whereabouts and I've seen her, would you believe me?" She was shocked, "You really found her?" "Yeah," Brandon answered.

Penelope's mouth hung open, unable to recover for a long time.

This news was too shocking for her.

"Then what about you and Isabella?" Penelope asked, "Will the wedding still go on?" Brandon answered firmly, "No."
