Chapter 488 The Most Pampered Little Princess in All of LA Comes to Kindergarten Sam and Lucy popped out just minutes apart! "Chill out," Penelope said, "What you're stressing about ain't gonna happen, not in this lifetime!" "Guys get guys," Kelvin said.
"Sam's just a kid," Penelope shot back.
"Still a dude," Kelvin insisted.
Penelope rolled her eyes and let him stew in his own juice.
Lucy had no clue what the fuss was about; she just thought Thalia was super sweet, even more motherly than Madison! "Dad, is Mom still out cold?" Lucy asked, "Breakfast is getting cold." "She's wiped out and needs more shut-eye. Don't sweat it," Kelvin said.
"Why's Mom so tired? Didn't she sleep well? Did she have a nightmare about the devil? Dad, did you protect her?" Lucy asked.
Kelvin ruffled her hair, "Of course, Daddy's always got Mommy's back." He said it loud enough for Penelope to hear too.
Too bad Penelope didn't give a hoot.
After breakfast, the butler asked, "Mr. Davis, heading to the office now?" "Nope, I'm taking Lucy to school first," Kelvin said, "It's her first day of kindergarten, and I'm worried she won't fit in." He glanced at Penelope, "You should ctoo." Penelope was caught off guard.
She wanted to go but didn't know how to bring it up. Kelvin beat her to it.
Without thinking, she said, "Sure." The butler said, "I'll get the driver to prep the car." "No need, I'll drive," Kelvin said.
Then Juuiter Jonker bar prrived Janet, Radded, "Ya, M." Davis " The black Maybach was parked in the garden.
Penelope was about to open the back door when Kelvin stopped her, "Sit up front." "I'll sit in the back with Lucy," Penelope said.

Penelope didn't answer, just yanked at the car door.
But Kelvin held it firm. "Front seat or I'll carry you in. Your call." "You..." Penelope started.
"Three seconds. Three, two..." Kelvin began.
Before he hit "one," Penelope yanked open the front door.
No way was she letting Kelvin carry her! To show her annoyance, she slammed the door shut.
Kelvin's lips twitched into a smile, which he quickly hid.
A family of three.
This was a real family of three.
He'd often dreamed of a simple morning where, after breakfast, he and Penelope would take Lucy to school together.
On the way, they could chat about dinner plans or last night's dreams.
After dropping Lucy off, they'd head to the office together.
Such a simple yet blissful daily life.
And today, it kinda happened.
Kelvin was pretty stoked. At least he got a taste of it.
It felt like stolen happiness.
The car slowly rolled out of King Manor.
The butler watched it disappear and sighed, his face a mix of emotions.
"Butler," a servant asked, "Who's this Thalia? Even you wouldn't talk to Mr. Davis like that. But she does, no manners at all." If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues.

"Remember, in King Manor, talk less, do more! Got it?" The butler said.
"Yeah, yeah," the servant mumbled.
leanwhile, in the main bedroom, Madison was still out cold, totally clueless. Kindergarten.
The principal was already hanging out by the gate.
Kelvin showing up with Lucy was a big deal.
As soon as the car pulled up, the principal hustled over, "Mr. Davis, Miss Cooper, good morning." But when he saw an older, not-so-glamorous woman get out of the front seat, he did a double-take. Penelope didn't care.
She'd long stopped giving a damn about looks.
She was who she was.
Those who loved her wouldn't change their minds because of her looks.

"Good morning, Principal," Lucy chirped, standing next to Kelvin with her backpack. "Good morning, Miss Cooper," the principal beamed. "You're so polite and delightful." Kelvin held Lucy's hand and handed her over to the principal, "From today, Lucy's studying here. Take good care of her, both academically and physically. If anything happens..." His eyes narrowed.
"Rest assured, Mr. Davis," the principal promised, "We'll make sure Miss Cooper is safe, healthy, and happy here." Before Lucy arrived, the butler had already coordinated multiple times.
The principal knew all about Lucy's likes and habits, keeping them in mind.

"Daddy, Thalia, bye-bye," Lucy waved, "I'm going to school now! See you tonight!" Penelope smiled and waved back, "Bye-bye, Lucy, don't forget to study hard!" "Okay!" Lucy said. Kelvin's lips curled into a smile as he watched Lucy walk into the kindergarten.
Then, he turned to look at Penelope's profile.
She was smiling, gently watching Lucy.
And he was gently watching her.
But then, Penelope suddenly turned away and lightly wiped the corner of her eye.
"What's wrong?" Kelvin blurted out, "Why are you crying?" This morning, when he forcefully kissed her and bullied her, she held back from crying, even though her eyes were red and tears were welling up.
Now, what had touched her? What had moved her to tears? "Nothing," Penelope replied, "Just watching Lucy's back as she walked away madefeel sad." Kelvin didn't quite get it.
What was there to be sad about? Lucy was just going to school.
"She'll be back after school," Kelvin said stiffly, "It's not like she's staying at kindergarten forever."
Penelope sighed, "Kelvin, you wouldn't understand. You haven't spent enough twith Lucy. After four more years, when you see Lucy growing up day by day, you'll understand how I feel today." He pursed his lips, "You can just tell me, and I'll understand."
"I raised Lucy; she's never been away from me. But just now, watching her, walking into school with her om from backpack, step by step away me, felt that the process of a child growing up is the process of moving further away from parents," Penelope said. Today, Lucy was walking away with her backpack to go to school, step by step.
