Chapter 375 If You Don't Tell, I Won't Ask or Investigate Kelvin spoke up for her, making her seem immature.
Lucy pouted. "Why can't my mommy and daddy sleep together? Am I always different? They go to kindergarten, I go to the hospital..." "Alright, Lucy," Penelope cut in, "Your mommy and daddy are just like everyone else's. Of course, we can sleep in the sbed!" Lucy's eyes lit up. "Really?" "Of course." Kelvin looked at her. "Penelope..." "Shut up," she whispered. "Stop pretending unhappy after getting what you wanted!" He was thrilled inside, so why pretend? He could force a kiss on her, so sleeping in the sbed was exactly what he wanted, right? Kelvin got up from the sofa, looking troubled. "Since this is what Lucy wants, I have no choice but to agree." Penelope wanted to roll her eyes! Acting! Just kept acting! She turned to dry her hair, stalling because she didn't want to get into bed.
Kelvin was patient, half-leaning on the headboard, just waiting.
The scent of shampoo occasionally wafted over, lingering at his nose.
Lucy was already tucked in. "Goodnight, daddy." "Goodnight, Lucy." "Mommy, I'm going to sleep now. You should rest early too!" Penelope forced a smile. "Okay." She stalled until she had no choice but to walk to the bed.
Kelvin moved over a bit, gentlemanly.

Since Lucy's bed could be changed to a child's bed, changing to a bigger one shouldn't be a problem, right? If not, she could buy one and change it herself! That way, she could sleep on the edge and not touch Kelvin! Kelvin lightly asked back, "Do you think the room can fit it?" Penelope looked around, silently refrained from speaking, and lay down.
She tried to curl up into a ball, but it was no use.
Kelvin was a gentleman, not touching or hugging her.
But on a small bed, two adults would inevitably touch.
"Move any further and you'll fall off," Kelvin kindly reminded.
Penelope ignored him.
She had to find a comfortable position far from him.

As she moved, her body suddenly felt empty! Oh no! She was going to fall! Just as she was about to fall, Kelvin quickly grabbed her back.
Penelope fell into his arms, held tightly by him.
Her hair spread across his chest, entangled with his pajama buttons.
It looked so intimate.
"Be careful," his chin rested on her hair. "Don't wake Lucy." Penelope felt embarrassed and didn't make a sound.
"Sleep. I won't do anything," Kelvin said, "Just holding you, I won't move." Kissing her had already made her unhappy, and it was because he couldn't hold back.
If he forced anything now, it would really make her resent him.
Kelvin didn't want to do that.
He'd take it slow.
He wasn't the sas before; he wouldn't only care about his own feelings.
Penelope stayed silent.
Honestly, she felt hugging was more intimate than kissing.
With their skin touching, his warmth and breath surrounding her, it felt safe.
She still loved him, but also hated him.
In the quiet, Penelope started to get sleepy.
Half-asleep, she felt something cool on her neck.
A pendant was being placed around her neck, Kelvin's hand moving skillfully.
She woke up with a start. "Kelvin..." Penelope touched her neck.
"It's a pendant," he whispered, "I've kept it all this time, and now I can finally put it on you." Penelope touched the pendant, suddenly wide awake.
This pendant, Brandon had taken it.
She offered it to Brandon, not asking, nor caring, what he'd do with it.
Now the pendant was in Kelvin's hands.
Penelope suddenly thought of something.
"A female corpse was found in the sea, unrecognizable from being soaked in water, and this pendant was on her neck," Kelvin said, "I kept it and treasured it." Penelope's back started to sweat.
He must have guessed something! In the dark, Penelope's breathing quickened, a bit nervous.
Kelvin's voice was light and slow, "Penelope, there are many things you don't say. I won't ask, and I won't investigate." He thought this would calm her, but it made Penelope even more scared.

Kelvin suspected something about her supposed death by drowning! What to do! She couldn't implicate Brandon! While she was feeling uneasy, Kelvin's hand gently patted her back, like soothing a child.
"The past is the past. Penelope, goodnight." He quickly kissed her forehead, then quietly held her, not moving.
Penelope's heart was racing.
She slowly raised her head, seeing his Adam's apple in the moonlight.
Further up were his thin lips, nose, and closed eyes.
The pendant hung quietly around her neck, Grace's keepsake.
It was a unique item, proving her identity! Penelope lived, yet her pendant adorned a corpse. Something was terribly wrong.
But Kelvin didn't pursue it.
Could treally change a person? Penelope slowly closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling.
Since he didn't ask, she wouldn't say. They would both play dumb.
Who knew how long it took, but Penelope's breathing steadied as she fell asleep, while Kelvin opened his eyes.
His gaze was almost obsessed as he looked at her.
Kelvin thought, "I would live in this confusion, as long as she was by myside.' At the King Manor, Madison clung to the door frame. "I don't believe it! Mr. Davis wouldn't kickout! You're lying to me. I want to see him. Where is he?" "Ms. Garcia, this is Mr. Davis's direct order." "I don't care. If he didn't tellhimself, it's fake. You're trying to kickout!"
She spent a year on plastic surgery, a year restoring her face, learning to mimic Renelope's expressions, dressing style... Even Liam promised to help her, and now she was being kicked out?
