From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 566 Are You Sure Brandon Really Loves You? "Who's gonna feel sorry for me? Who's gonna pity me?" Penelope asked. "Yeah, I get it. The Mitchell family didn't do anything wrong; they have no clue about Isabella's actions. They're even trying to talk ssense into her instead of blindly defending her. But so what? Does that bring my Lucy back? Isabella can mess with my family, but I can't touch hers?" This was how Penelope really felt.

Being kind was great, but it shouldn't be limitless and without boundaries. Kindness should have an edge, be sharp, not just soft and compromising! Kindness should have an edge, be sharp, not just soft and compromising! That was her life motto! "So, Mr. Walker, I can't and won't agree with you. No matter what you say, I'm not budging." Penelope said. "Isabella deserves this; she brought it on herself. She has to face the consequences, and so does her family. I'm with Kelvin on this." Right then, Penelope stood by Kelvin.

Her logic was crystal clear. Lucy was their daughter, and they would always put her first. Others, no matter how much they cared for Lucy, weren't truly family! No matter how flawed or ruthless Kelvin was, he was good to Lucy! To save Lucy, Kelvin pretended to be close to Madison, putting up with her misunderstandings and dislike. He sacrificed so much; how could she stand in his way now? After Penelope finished talking, the room went dead silent.

Brandon pursed his lips. "Penelope, you gotwrong. I need to explain things to you privately." Penelope was about to reply when Kelvin cut in. "Brandon, you've been shielding Isabella. I've played along, but don't overestimate yourself. You can't protect the whole Mitchell family!" He stepped forward and pulled Penelope behind him. "Today, we're here for one reason! Either Isabella and the Mitchell family go down together, or the spell on Lucy gets lifted! No third option!" Kelvin was intense. And Penelope silently agreed with him.

For Lucy, what did it matter if she played the villain once? Do good people always get pushed around? Do bad people get off easy? Kelvin looked around and said, "Good luck." Then he turned around, not forgetting to hold Penelope's hand as he left.

He cand went as he pleased, like everyone in the Mitchell family was under his control! No one dared to stop him, and as the silence dragged on, the respect in the room seemed to grow heavier with every passing second! Penelope followed Kelvin, looking at his back and then at their clasped hands.

In that moment, warmth and strength filled her.

"Kelvin," she called his name.

"Yeah?" Kelvin replied.

"Even though you've done a lot to hurt me, and I hate you for it. When it comes to Lucy," Penelope said, "we're always on the steam." He was Lucy's dad. She was Lucy's mom.

In this world, anyone could harm Lucy except the two of them.

They'd give everything for Lucy, even their lives! That's what family, love, and marriage meant! Kelvin didn't say anything, just squeezed her hand tighter in response.

When they got back to King Manor, it was exactly midnight.

The day had been a total drain.

Before stepping out of the car, Penelope checked the time.

"It's a new day," she said. "Past midnight." Kelvin just grunted in response.

Just as Penelope was about to get out, her hand on the door handle, she heard Kelvin ask, "So, are we heading to city hall to get divorced today?" He finally brought it up.

Maybe if he hadn't, she would've forgotten, and it would've blown over.

But Kelvin figured, instead of stressing all night, he might as well get a straight answer from Penelope.

He knew he wasn't getting any sleep tonight.

Penelope was caught off guard.

"Yeah," she said. "Today is your time; tomorrow is mine." Kelvin's throat tightened. "Okay." Penelope turned to look at him. "You can say no, you know." His easy compliance made her uneasy.

"Penelope, does my refusal even matter?" Kelvin asked. "You've wanted this divorce for years, back then and now. You love Brandon, and you want to be with him. Your heart's not withanymore. How can I keep you here against your will?" "Maybe..." his voice dropped, "you never loved me." When it cto love, Kelvin was clueless. It was a journey full of ups and downs.

He didn't know how to love someone; it was always others loving him.

He had always wondered if Penelope loved him.

Probably not. At the start, they were enemies, and he had treated her horribly How could she love him? She jumped into the sea to get away from him; that couldn't be love.

Kelvin never felt Penelope's love.

But he had shown his love over and over.

"Penelope, how did you feel when Brandon stood up for Isabella and the Mitchell family today?" Kelvin asked.

"Did you feel a chill? He grew up with e Isabella, and you two have only been together for a short twithout any real closeness. Are you sure he truly loves you? Have you thought that maybe he's using you to break off an engagement? That he loves someone else, not you?"

Penelope sighed, a sound that was especially clear in the dark quiet car, it sounded so sorrowful. 'Kelvin, oh Kelvin, why are you so smart? Why do you guess so accurately?' But Kelvin misunderstood her sigh. "Penelope, I'm not trying to scare you, but I wanted to point something out. Brandon's been acting really weird, and the stuff he's saying is off. I just want to make sure you're okay." How could he stand to see the Penelope he cherished suffer with another man? That would be so heartbreaking! So painful! Seeing Penelope still not speaking, Kelvin quickly added, "I just want you to be happy.

If you love him, he should love you back just as much, if not more." This was his most sincere hope and blessing.

Letting go was hard, but he had to do it.

Penelope looked up at him, her eyes sparkling like stars in the sky.

She knew very well that Brandon, indeed, did not love her.
