Chapter 659 I Owe Brandon, not Isabella Penelope had been hanging around here the whole time! "How's it going?" Penelope asked, tilting her head. "Is Brandon okay?" Kelvin pressed his lips together. "You already know, Penelope." He knew she was worried, but he couldn't say much more.
She'd seen Isabella's meltdowns too.
Penelope's heart clenched. "I hope Isabella gives us the antidote soon and comes to negotiate. That way, Brandon won't suffer as much." "Isabella cares about Brandon more than you think," Kelvin said.
"So, any progress today? Is she willing to trade the antidote?" Penelope asked urgently. "What's her attitude? If she cares so much, how can she drag this out another day? Can't she just..." Before she could finish, Kelvin pulled her into his arms.
Her worry for Brandon was unmistakable. Kelvin felt bad yet powerless.
Brandon's move not only played on Isabella's love but also got sympathy from Penelope.
Two women were worried about him! "Let's wait a bit longer," Kelvin's voice was rough. "He had an episode today, and there's another twenty-four hours until the next one. We'll see tomorrow." It all depended on Isabella.
If she caround sooner, Brandon would be free sooner.
With luck, he'd only have to endure one more episode.

He's doing this for our daughter." "I know." "He also wants to save Isabella one more time." Penelope looked up at his chiseled jaw. "If Isabella gives Lucy the antidote, and Brandon pleads for her, and she promises to change, Kelvin, would you let her go?" Kelvin shot back, "Penelope, would you let her go?" He threw the question right back at her.
For Penelope, it wasn't about letting Isabella go, but about giving in to Brandon! Brandon would definitely plead for Isabella again! Penelope was stumped.
She hated Isabella, hated her guts.
Not just because of what Isabella did to Lucy, but also because of their half-sister relationship! Penelope felt sick just thinking about the blood relation! Isabella's mom was even worse, knowing she was a mistress and still having an illegitimate daughter, ruining someone else's marriage! Penelope couldn't answer.
"You haven't thought it through either." Kelvin sighed. "Penelope, I won't let her go, no way." His tone was firm and resolute! "But I want to respect your opinion, Penelope." Kelvin's tone softened. "We're a team, and we can discuss and understand each other on everything. It's not just up to me." Penelope unconsciously clutched his shirt.
After a long silence, Kelvin said, "I used to make decisions alone, without being responsible or explaining to anyone. It's different now; I have you, Penelope." He had to consider her feelings in every way, even prioritizing Penelope's thoughts over his own.
After mulling it over, Penelope finally said, "Let's see how Isabella acts. If she stays stubborn, even Brandon can't save her." Kelvin just held her, staying silent.
"I owe Brandon, not Isabella," Penelope said, clinging to his back. "Kelvin, I can't just ignore your feelings and act rashly." "You can act rashly," Kelvin said. He'd given her that right! But she didn't take advantage of it.

"No, you think of me, so I have to think of you too," Penelope replied. "It's mutual." It wasn't about one person always giving in to the other.
As soon as she finished, Kelvin's kiss cdown with tension, his breath unsteady.
Her words, "I have to think of you too," hit Kelvin right in the heart! He needed to kiss her, to make sure she was really there with him! Penelope felt a bit shy. "The driver is still..." Her words were cut off by his kiss.
Kelvin held the back of her head with one hand and pressed a button with the other.
The partition slowly rose, blocking the view between the front and back seats! "Now no one can see," Kelvin said in a husky voice, pulling away slightly.
Just as she started to speak, his kiss cback, deeper and more intense! Penelope couldn't resist and leaned back into the seat, kissed until she could barely breathe.
She remembered that night with Kelvin, feeling dazed and out of it, like she'd blacked out from drinking.
In the middle of their passion, the phone suddenly rang.
Kelvin ignored it.
Right now, nothing could interrupt him! The phone rang for a while, then stopped.
After a couple of seconds, it started ringing again! Penelope pushed his chest. "The phone is ringing." "Ignore it." "It keeps ringing," Penelope insisted.
Kelvin was getting annoyed by the ringing.

Kelvin frowned at the screen-it was the butler from King Manor Penelope knew that if Kelvin didn't answer, the butler wouldn't call back unless it was urgent! They exchanged a look.
Kelvin sat up and pulled Penelope up, letting her lean against him.
"Hello?" His voice was still a bit rough.
"Mr. Davis," the butler said anxiously.
"Lucy has been crying, saying she m wants to see Mommy tried to get her to video call Mrs. Davis, but she refused, insisting on seeing her in person!" What? Lucy was asking for Mommy?
The half-dose of the antidote was supposed to keep Lucy switching! between being awake and under the spell. In the first few days after taking it, the antidote suppressed the spell, and Lucy was awake.
Now she was being controlled by the spell again! Penelope's heart sank.
What should they do? This was bad! She looked at Kelvin with panic in her eyes. "What should we do?" "Let's go hand see what's happening." "I have no makeup," Penelope said, touching her face. "I can't go directly to see Lucy; it'll only upset her more."
