From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 616 How Could You Do This to Mom Kelvin took the papers.

Why didn't he know about these confidential documents needing his signature? Was it because he hadn't been to the office and there was a new project proposal? He flipped it open and just took a glance. Kelvin's mouth twitched.

He got it now. There was no need for his signature; it was just Timothy's excuse! Timothy just wanted to cand show off to him and Penelope that Monica was now his girlfriend! How childish he was! But Kelvin didn't call him out.

After all these years, Timothy and Monica finally had sprogress. He couldn't ruin it.

Kelvin pulled a pen from his pocket and signed his name. "Done." Timothy exchanged a glance with him.

"So quick?" Monica was surprised. "Mr. Davis, aren't you going to carefully review the terms?" Kelvin started to make things up. "Ryan already checked the terms, and Timothy confirmed them again. I trust their work; no need to look again." Monica had nothing to say.

"Alright then." Timothy stood up. "We've bothered you long enough. The work is done. We should get going." He had shown off enough. Anyway, there was still a month left. And there were lots of opportunities in the coming month.

Monica moved closer to Penelope. "How have you been these days? Any progress with Lucy's situation?" "We're working on it." "If you need my help, just letknow anytime." Before Penelope could answer, Kelvin spoke up, "You? With your fiery temper, just not causing trouble would be enough." "Who are you looking down on?" Seeing this, Timothy wrapped his arm around Monica's waist and pulled her into his embrace.

"Alright, alright, we're leaving now. No need to see us out. See you another day." Timothy waved and quickly left with Monica.

In the past, when Monica was charging around, he couldn't stop her. Controlling her was as hard as trying to catch the wind.

Now it was easy. Just a hug and she had to leave! Timothy finally understood why Kelvin often hugged and touched Penelope.

It was both a way to embrace and resolve conflicts-two birds with one stone! After Timothy and Monica's antics, the atmosphere felt much livelier.

The troubles brought by the Mitchell family's trivial matters gradually dissipated.

In the now quiet living room, suddenly, there csomeone's stomach growling.

Kelvin's lips curled up, and he chuckled. "Penelope?" Penelope clutched her stomach, feeling very embarrassed. "I'm hungry." "I didn't consider that," he said. "How about sporridge to stave off hunger?" Penelope nodded.

The butler, with impeccable timing, immediately turned to instruct the servants to fetch sfood from the kitchen.

"Please wait a moment," the butler said. "Breakfast is ready, but it's cold. We'll heat it up and serve it shortly." Penelope walked towards the dining room.

No matter what, she needed to eat first.

Only when full would she have energy to face what was coming next! Just then, footsteps echoed from the staircase, followed by Lucy's childlike voice. "Daddy! You're back!" Lucy cdownstairs, all cheerful. "Daddy, why didn't you chlast night? I was waiting for you to say goodnight, but I fell asleep waiting." Her words stopped abruptly when she saw Penelope.

Lucy stared at Penelope, her eyes wide, with a look that was both unfamiliar and familiar.

"Lucy, you..." Penelope felt the urge to ask what was wrong, but the reason for Lucy's stare dawned on her she was without makeup! In a flurry of panic, Penelope attempted to cover her face, but it was too late. Lucy had already glimpsed her unadorned beauty; their eyes locked, and in that moment, everything was revealed.

Penelope immediately turned her back! Kelvin quickly reacted, took a big step forward, and shielded her.

"Lucy," he said calmly. "Daddy was busy last night and couldn't cback in time. I'm sorry." Ever since Lucy was born, no matter how busy or tired Kelvin was, he would always try to cback and say goodnight to her in person.

If he really couldn't make it, he would call or video chat.

Last night was indeed too busy and chaotic, and he forgot.

Kelvin also tried to divert Lucy's attention by changing the subject. But it didn't work. "Daddy," Lucy said. "Move aside." "Lucy."

She didn't cry or make a fuss, just asked softly, "Daddy, why are you protecting that woman? I've already seen her. I know who she is." Kelvin pressed his lips together. "Do you really know who she is?" "She's the other woman." Lucy's voice was very clear, echoing in the large living room.

And it echoed in Penelope's heart, like a heavy blow! No, she wasn't! "Lucy." Kelvin sighed. "You still don't know who she really is." The spell hadn't been broken.

Lucy's perception was still confused.

Now, unintentionally, they had let her see Penelope again, adding fuel ta the fire. "Daddyt may be young, but I'm not stupid," Lucy said. "Why are you lying to me?" "I didn't." Lucy walked over, standing in front of Kelvin, looking up at him.

"You promisedyou would live well with Mommy, that you wouldn't see this woman again, that you would cut ties with her, and love only Mommy," Lucy said, full ofdisappointment. "But why are you NO.

with her again? Last night, were you really busy with work, or were you actually on a date with her? Did you have so much fun that you didn't want to chome? If Mom knew, how heartbroken would she be? When she's not around, you get involved with this woman again. This is a betrayal. How can you face Mom? Daddy, you're lying to me. I hate lies the most. I'm starting to hate you too." Lucy kept her head up, questioning in a calm and orderly manner.

Kelvin looked at Lucy, not knowing what to say.

"Lucy." He squatted down, reaching out to hug her. "Letexplain."
