Chapter 542 Uncle Brandon Misses you Brandon knew it was coming, and the sooner, the better. But when the moment actually hit, his heart was a mess of emotions.
Isabella, who used to be all sweet and caring, how did she turn into this? When did she change? Or was she always like this-selfish, mean, and ruthless and he just never saw it? Brandon shot a text to Kelvin: [Tomorrow night, the Mitchell family.] After sending it, he chucked his phone aside and shut his eyes, feeling wiped out.
He had to face all of this eventually.
A knock on the door broke the silence, "Uncle Brandon, you awake?" It was Sam.
"Yeah," Brandon replied, "con in." Sam pushed the door open and ran over in his PJs. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "Why aren't you?" Brandon shot back, "It's late, and you got school tomorrow." "I won't oversleep," Sam said.
"But you still need sleep. Kids who don't sleep enough won't grow tall," Brandon said.
Sam's eyes sparkled. "Then I'll catch up with a nap at noon." Brandon couldn't help but laugh. "You're a smart one, aren't you!" "Uncle Brandon, actually, I can't sleep." Sam blinked his big, watery eyes, looking all innocent, "I miss Penelope." As he spoke, he blinked, pouted, and looked like he was about to cry, making anyone feel endless pity. Brandon's heart melted instantly.
"I've been away from Penelope for so many days. Without her makingbreakfast and tellingstories, I'm so lonely. But it's okay because I'm a man. Penelope is now spending all her energy on Lucy; she doesn't have tfor me. It's okay. I'll be good. Wait for her to cget me. But, but I still miss her so much," Sam said.
Brandon was about to comfort him, to tell him that in Penelope's heart, he was just as important as Lucy. But then, Sam suddenly asked: "Uncle Brandon, do you miss her?" "I..." Brandon started.
"You don't miss her? No way. Your eyes already gave you away," Sam said.
Brandon sighed lightly. "I do." But his longing couldn't be expressed, nor could it be conveyed.

Sam immediately snapped his fingers: "I knew you missed her too! Alright, don't hesitate, call her now!" "Now? It's kinda late, isn't it?" Brandon said.
"It's not late; it's never too late to express your feelings," Sam said.
Sam had a lot of reasoning.
Brandon looked at his wrist: "Where's your phone watch?" "Use your phone," Sam said, "don't call, video call." "Me? Video call?" Brandon said.
Brandon hesitated. This didn't seem appropriate! "Yes, yes, hurry up!" Sam urged, "What are you afraid of? I'm the one chatting with her, not you." True.
Brandon didn't hesitate any more and handed the phone to him: "Alright." Sam quickly initiated the video call.
At the King Manor.

She glanced at Lucy, who was just asleep. Afraid of waking her, Penelope tiptoed out of the room.
As soon as she answered, before she could say "hello," she heard Sam's excited voice. "Penelope!" So it was him.
She knew Brandon wouldn't be so impulsive.
"Sam." Penelope smiled slightly, "You miss me?" "Yes, yes, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?" Sam said.
"Of course I do," Penelope said.
At the end of the hallway.
As Kelvin went upstairs, he saw Penelope leaning against the door, head down, with a sweet smile on her lips.
Her hair gently draped over her shoulders, her fingers unconsciously twirling the ends. She gazed at her phone screen, wearing earphones, her eyes curved into crescents Such a beautiful and gentle scene.
The second floor was very quiet, so Kelvin clearly heard her say, "Of course I miss you." Who was she talking to? Brandon? As soon as the nflashed through Kelvin's mind, a sharp pain shot through his heart! It was Brandon.
She missed Brandon.
Kelvin stopped in his tracks, quietly watching her video call with Brandon.

"Lettell you," Sam turned the phone towards Brandon, "it's not justwho misses you, someone else is secretly missing you too!" Brandon was taken aback, not expecting him to do that.
Penelope was also stunned.
How was she supposed to respond to that? Brandon looked embarrassed, "Penelope, don't mind him." "Well, I..." Penelope was about to brush it off.
But then...
"What? I'm not lying!" Sam immediately retorted, "Uncle Brandon, you just said you missed her; how can you deny it now? Uncle Brandon, you can't lie!" Penelope rubbed her forehead.
"Actually, I don't miss you that much, because I know you're busy and tired, rest." Sam said, "But unfired, you need I :Uncle Brandon misses you a lot, he's just too shy, so I made this video call for him." Penelope knew that if she didn't stop him, he would go on, talking by himself.
"Alright, alright, I get it. Can you stop now?" Penelope said.
"Why can't I say it? Did I say something wrong?" Sam said.
Penelope. "No, you didn't. You're right, but can you stop now?"
"I'm right, so I should keep going!" Sam beceven more relentless.
"Why, why, if you miss someone, you should say it. How else would they know? Look, I miss you, so I tell you openly. Uncle Brandon misses you, but he's too shy to tell you, but it's okay; I can tell you for him," Sam said.
He turned to look at Brandon. "It's okay, Uncle Brandon, I know you're shy. I'll convey your feelings for you!" Then he faced the screen again, his face filling the screen, speaking very softly, "Uncle Brandon is a truly good single man, you should hold on to him, don't let other women take him away!" Penelope looked up at the sky speechlessly.
How did she end up with such a curious son?
