Chapter 402 Do You Want Mommy to Help You Take a Bath? Her face looked a bit intense, and she was always scheming! "Brandon," Isabella smiled as soon as she saw him, speaking softly. "Where were you today? The office said you weren't around." "I had spersonal stuff to handle." Isabella said, "I booked the banquet for our wedding today. My eyes are tired from checking everything out." Brandon nodded. "Thanks for the effort. You don't need to handle all this yourself; let the butler take care of it." "This is a once-in-a-lifetevent for us. I want to be involved. At the wedding, I'll feel proud knowing I arranged many details!" "Alright, do what makes you happy." "By the way," Isabella added, "The caterer just got a batch of top-grade ginseng. I bought sas gifts." Brandon usually didn't care about these things and left them to Isabella.
She spoke, and he agreed.
Brandon was always good to Isabella. He gave her his card, reported his whereabouts, was patient, and never argued or lost his temper.
He was the perfect partner.
"Go ahead, give sto my parents and yours." "I've already arranged that. There's still sleft. This ginseng is rare and nourishing." Isabella looked at him. "Brandon, I heard Penelope is in the hospital. Should we send sto her?" Brandon's casual expression turned serious at the mention of Penelope.
This made Isabella uncomfortable.
Did this nattract him that much? Just now, Brandon was looking at his phone, replying to messages, but now he immediately stopped.

'Can Lucy eat it? Is it nourishing? But if Lucy can't eat it, it could be good for Penelope. She's overworked and too thin.' "Yes, just a small gesture," Isabella said. "Whether she needs it or not, we can send it over." Brandon nodded. "Alright." Isabella was delighted. "Then I'll send it in your name, so Mr. Davis knows it's from you. This way, if there's any future collaboration between our companies, he can look out for us." "Isabella, thank you for being so thoughtful." "Because we're family." Isabella smiled, leaning on his shoulder, her eyes full of satisfaction.
This ginseng wasn't given casually.
Isabella had consulted a doctor and knew that leukemia patients could eat ginseng for proper nourishment.
So, if this ginseng were sent over, Lucy would eat sof it! Once she ate it, things would go more smoothly! The next day, Penelope received a package.
The sender was Brandon.
"Ginseng?" Penelope looked at the high-quality ginseng in front of her. "Why did Brandon suddenly send supplements?" Inside the box, there was also a note: [A small gesture, please accept it.] Kelvin noticed as soon as he heard the n"Brandon." "It's just ginseng. The King Manor's warehouse has plenty of it," Kelvin said. "It's nothing special." "Then why didn't you bring any?" Saying this, Penelope put the items away and walked out.
"Mommy," Lucy asked. "Where are you going?" "I'm going to ask the doctor if you can eat ginseng for nourishment," Penelope said.
"This is a gift from Uncle Brandon." Lucy nodded. "Next tI see Uncle Brandon, I'll thank him." As soon as Penelope left, Kelvin snorted.
"Daddy, what's wrong?" "He's just trying to stay relevant," Kelvin said. "We have everything we need; we don't need his gifts." Lucy didn't get it.
Kelvin held her on his lap. "Lucy, do you like Uncle Brandon?" "Yes!" "Do you like him more, or do you likemore?" Lucy was stumped.
After a bit, she said, "Why do I have to choose between you and Uncle Brandon?" Kelvin realized he was being too obvious in his jealousy, coughed lightly, and dropped the subject.
If Penelope knew, she'd definitely call him childish.
Soon, Penelope returned with a faint smile and took the ginseng into the kitchen. "The doctor said you can eat it in moderation; just don't overdo it." Kelvin snorted again.
'It seemed Brandon didn't just casually send it; he specifically checked to know that Lucy could eat it. Such thoughtfulness. If it weren't for the fact that Brandon and Isabella were getting married at the end of the year, and the news had already spread among the major families in LA, I would really suspect that Brandon was deeply in love with Penelope!' he thought.
Penelope was busy in the kitchen, and soon a fragrant aroma wafted out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe used a piece of ginseng to make chicken soup, which was sweet and nourishing.
"Lucy, drink ssoup." Penelope ladled a bowl and handed it to her. "It's good for your body. You're about to have surgery, and you need to keep up your nutrition." Lucy stirred her spoon and said, "Mommy, are you only serving it to me?" "He has hands." "Yes," Kelvin responded seriously. "I can ladle my own soup."
"Tastes good," Lucy praised. "Mommy's cooking is getting better and better!" "Then continue making chicken soup with Uncle Brandon's ginseng for you tomorrow, okay?"

"What's wrong?" Penelope asked. "Don't you like it?" He always had a light diet and didn't like eating greasy things, especially chicken soup.
So Penelope had filtered it several times while cooking.
She didn't know why she did it, but she wouldn't admit that she did it to make it more palatable for Kelvin.
"No, it's very good. Just..." Kelvin paused before continuing. "Do I need to nourish my body?" "You need to donate bone marrow, so you must keep up your nutrition. Of course, you need to nourish." "I've been nourishing enough these days. If I keep it up, I'll get a nosebleed." Penelope replied, "Then drink less."
Kelvin said slowly, "I've been holding back for so many years, and I can't have sex recently. If you keep givingso many supplements, Penelope, it's very uncomfortable." She almost spat out the chicken soup she had just drunk.
What was he talking about? Kelvin sighed. "Starting tonight, I'll have to take cold showers every day." "No!" Penelope stopped him without thinking. "What if you catch a cold?" With the surgery coming up, she couldn't allow any accidents! Kelvin leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Then you help me?" She glared at him.
Coincidentally, Lucy heard this.
She asked seriously, "Mommy, what does Daddy mean? Does he ask you to help him take a bath?" This time, Penelope really choked. She coughed repeatedly, her face turning red.
