Chapter 660 Mommy's Video Call "You sneak in through the back door and head upstairs to get your makeup on first," Kelvin quickly suggested. "Once you're set, cback down. I'll handle Lucy." After a moment, he added, "Sorry for the hassle." Penelope shook her head. "It's no big deal." Kelvin gave her hand a squeeze.
The car pulled up at the back entrance of King Manor, and Penelope hopped out.
Kelvin's face was all business.
Inside, Lucy was slumped on the couch, her head down, shoulders shaking.
The coffee table overflowed with her favorite treats, and new stuffed animals littered the floor, yet Lucy paid no mind.
"Lucy," Kelvin said, sitting next to her. "The butler toldyou were acting up. What's going on?" Lucy looked up, her eyes red and teary. "Daddy, where were you?" "I was at the office," Kelvin replied. "Working late." Lucy wasn't buying it. "Really?" "Really." "You weren't with that bad woman?" Lucy asked. "I know you still talk to her." Kelvin pressed his lips together.
Lucy was clearly upset.
He hugged her. "You're the most important to me." "And Mommy," Lucy added. "Mommy and I are important too, right?" "Yes. So, I'll always choose you and Mommy. I'll cut ties with that bad woman for good." Seeing Kelvin's sincere promise, Lucy started to relax.

Kelvin glanced at the butler.
"Go," he said. "Get her on a video call with Lucy." The butler was taken aback for a moment but quickly nodded. "Yes, Mr. Davis. I'll set it up right away. Lucy, just wait a bit." "Make sure it's done right," Kelvin reminded.
"Don't worry, Mr. Davis." The butler hurried off, looking serious as he contacted Madison's bodyguards. Hopefully, nothing would go wrong! Just then, Penelope cdownstairs in her old, ugly makeup again.
"Lucy, what's wrong?" she asked gently, smiling. "You didn't see Daddy for a bit, and you're throwing a fit?" Lucy blinked and looked at her. "Thalia." "Aren't you hungry? Look at all this food, and you don't want any?" Penelope pointed to the desserts on the table. "Usually, when you want to eat, Daddy says no because he's worried about your teeth." "I'm not hungry." Lucy snuggled closer to Kelvin.
She didn't even want to talk to Thalia, just wanted to be with Kelvin.

Kelvin held Lucy close, his big hand gently rubbing her back.
The living room was dead quiet.
With nothing else to do, Penelope started tidying up the coffee table.
Every couple of minutes, Lucy would ask, "Daddy, when's Mommy gonna video call?" Kelvin would always say, "Soon, just wait a bit." This back-and-forth went on for half an hour until finally, Kelvin's phone rang.
Lucy perked up instantly, jumping out of Kelvin's arms. "Is it Mommy?" "Yep." Kelvin answered the call, and soon, only Madison's face popped up on the screen.
"Mommy!" Lucy shouted happily. "Mommy, where are you? Why didn't you sendany pictures? Have you been having so much fun you forgot about me? Do you miss me? Remember to callevery night before bed! I'm waiting every day!" Madison's eyes were blank, her expression stiff, and she seemed out of it.
After about ten seconds, she responded coldly, "Got it." Since Madison lost the baby, she had completely lost her mind.
She kept talking about her child, saying she had given birth to the Davis family's heir, and she was going to be rich and powerful, among other crazy things.
Now Madison's serene appearance on the screen was a rare sight, a testament to the butler and bodyguards' diligent efforts.
"Daddy." Lucy sensed something was off. "Is Mommy acting weird?" Kelvin replied, "Is she? She seems fine." "I said so much to her, and she only replied once." Lucy looked disappointed again.

"Maybe it's too noisy where she is, and she's busy, not convenient to talk to you," Kelvin tried to comfort her. "You've seen her now. Let's not disturb her, okay?"
Lucy wasn't having it and grabbed the phone. "Mommy, Mommy, look at me. Where are you looking?" She waved her hand to get Madison's her attention. "Don't you missat all? Where are you? Can I see around?" Madison stayed dazed.
Under Lucy's constant calling or maybe under threats from the people there, she shivered and quickly stared at the screen.
Madison and Lucy's eyes met.
"Mommy!"
"A girl?" Madison suddenly pushed her face close to the screen. "How can it be a girl? I was pregnant with a boy! A boy want a boy. What's the En use of a girl? A boy can rightfully inherit the Davis family's billion-dollar fortune! Who are you? You're not my child!" Madison wanted to say more, but the screen shook, the camera pointed at the dark night, and there was no sound.
Lucy was stunned. She looked up at Kelvin. "Daddy, what is Mommy saying?" Penelope was sweating nervously.
How to explain this? Luckily, Kelvin calmly replied, "She was talking to someone else." Lucy was half convinced.
But then, a scream cfrom the phone, lasting only a second before it went silent again.
Kelvin quickly ended the video call.
"Alright, Lucy," he said. "You've seen Mommy. It's tto rest." "Was that sound just now from Mommy?" "No." "It was!" Lucy suddenly becvery certain. "That was her voice; she was screaming!"
