Chapter 679 Isabella Wants to Negotiate "I know Mommy's doing fine, she's safe," Lucy blinked and said. "So I shouldn't have gotten mad at you last night and yelled." Kelvin was a bit taken aback.
Today had been a whirlwind.
In the morning, he and Penelope went to the hospital to deal with Debra's situation.
In the afternoon, they took the kids to the water park.
So, there was no ttoday for Lucy to have a video call with "Mommy," but suddenly, Lucy believed his story and even apologized.
What was going on? Did Sam really have such great skills? What exactly did he say to Lucy? Lucy muttered to herself, "But I still miss Mommy, I want to see her, and I don't know when she'll chome." Lucy then comforted herself, saying, "It's okay, as long as she's having fun." "Where exactly is Mommy? It feels like I just saw her, but also like I haven't seen her in forever." Lucy shook her little head, getting more confused the more she thought about it.
"I'm sleepy, Thalia." She tugged on Penelope's sleeve. "I want to go to bed." "Okay, I'll take you to your room." After playing for so long, Lucy was definitely tired.
Lying in bed, Lucy hugged her doll and mumbled, "Mommy, Mommy." Penelope sat by the bed, watching over her until she was completely asleep, then left the room.
She went downstairs and saw Kelvin standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, on the phone.

It wasn't until he hung up the phone that she asked, "Is it news from the Walker family?" "Yeah." Penelope glanced at the time.
In three hours, it would be tfor the second episode.
"Isabella wants to see me," Kelvin said. "And she specifically requested that you be there too." Penelope thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay." "Penelope." He was still worried. "Can you handle that?" She would feel heartbroken when she saw Brandon in pain.
Her pain was his pain, amplified by her heartbreak over another man.
Brandon's pain was being borne by three people! "Think positively," Penelope said. "Maybe tonight, we'll get the other half of the antidote. Because Isabella requested to see us. She probably wants to negotiate." Maybe Isabella couldn't bear to see Brandon's second episode more! Kelvin nodded. "Alright." "I feel like Lucy is a bit confused, something's not right." Penelope frowned, vaguely worried. "I don't know how she'll be when she wakes up." She looked at the sky.
The sky was completely dark.
"Rest for a bit, then we'll go to the Walker house tonight." Kelvin held her hand.
Tonight was destined to be an adventure.
In a psychological game, calm was key, and Isabella was clearly unraveling.

"No matter what happens tonight, I'll always stand by your side." Penelope looked at him steadily. "I'll fully support you." He didn't say anything, just squeezed her hand tighter.
Her words were enough.
No matter how tough things got, he could face it without a second thought! "I really hope to see a normal, clear-headed Lucy," Penelope sighed. "If this keeps up, she'll break down eventually. We can only fool her for so long, but it's just a temporary fix, not a permanent solution." "We'll fix it." That was Kelvin's answer, and his promise! At the Walker house, the living room was brightly lit.
Isabella sat on the couch, looking towards the kitchen.
The clatter of utensils signaled Brandon was cooking for her again.
"How wonderful!" Isabella muttered to herself, a satisfied smile on her face. "Brandon, in my lifetime, being able to eat the meals you've cooked for me, and not just once, has been worth it. However, this should be our last meal together. Why do I love you so much? I don't even know myself. But I don't regret it." She stood up and walked to the kitchen door.
Brandon, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, was busy cooking.
He turned around and saw Isabella standing there, quickly waving his hand. "It's smoky here, go wait outside, it'll be ready soon." "No, I want to watch you here." "It's very smoky." Isabella smiled and, instead of leaving, rolled up her sleeves and walked in. "I'll help you, so you don't mistake sugar for salt again." She had cooked for Brandon before and was quite skilled.
"Since when does a master chef assist a beginner cook?" Brandon teased. "I'll feel pressured."

It was like going back to the past.
Brandon turned his head to look at her.
"Why are you looking at me?" Isabella looked up after washing the onion and met his gaze. "Is there something on my face?" She avoided eye contact and seemed very insecure.
Because she had always maintained her best and most elegant side in front of Brandon.
But ever since the engagement was called off, Isabella had changed completely.
She didn't care about her appearance, always shouting and screaming like a shrew! She knew she had completely lost Brandon.
She was no longer worthy of him.
"No, your face is clean," Brandon replied. "I just feel like I'm seeing the old you again the gentle, elegant you who always revolved around me." Isabella lowered her head, busy with the ingredients in her hands, and asked, "Did you like that Isabella?" Brandon was silent.
"See, no matter what I'm like, you never liked me." She smiled bitterly. "So no matter how well I do, you won't fall in love with me." In his heart, he had reserved a place only for Penelope, and it had been that way for decades. How could she ever compare to her? *************
(I highly recommend a captivating book that I couldn't put down for et three days and nights. It's incredibly engaging and a must-read. The title of the book is "Husband plans to kill me" You can find it by searching for it in the search bar. )
