From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 680 If You Want the Antidote, You'll Have to Wait "Isabella, you're so stubborn," Brandon sighed. "All you ever wanted was our love. If you could just bend a little, things wouldn't be like this." Isabella shot back, "I just want love. If there's no love, I don't want anything else." "Is it worth it?" Brandon asked. "Don't you regret it?" "Nope, I don't." Brandon wanted to say more, but Isabella cut him off, "The food's about to burn." Brandon quickly turned his attention back to cooking.

Isabella grabbed a plate and headed to the dining room.

She glanced up and saw Kelvin and Penelope walking in, hand in hand, looking like the perfect couple.

It seemed like nothing could cbetween them.

"Let Brandon andfinish this meal first," Isabella said. "You two can wait a bit." Kelvin replied coolly, "Why should we wait?" "If you want the antidote, you'll have to wait." Isabella didn't even look at Kelvin as she carried the food into the dining room and then back into the kitchen.

"Don't you think Isabella seems a bit different?" Penelope whispered.

"I noticed. She's way too calm." "Could she be up to something again?" Penelope was worried.

Kelvin slowly shook his head. "I think she's made a decision and accepted reality, which is why she's so calm." Penelope was startled. "What decision? Will she give us the antidote, or..." "She just said, if we want the antidote, we'll have to wait." Kelvin sat down on the couch and glanced at his watch.

Take it slow.

Even if he was anxious, he couldn't show it! Penelope, however, wasn't as composed as Kelvin. She kept glancing at the dining room and pacing back and forth.

"Penelope." Kelvin pressed his temples. "Take it easy." "I'm anxious, I can't help it." She couldn't stop pacing, almost making Kelvin dizzy.

Finally, Kelvin couldn't take it anymore. He reached out, grabbed her waist, and pulled her onto his lap.

"Lethelp you," Kelvin said. "Or, I have other ways." As he spoke, he leaned in to kiss her.

Penelope quickly pressed her finger to his lips. "Don't mess around." They were at the Walker estate for business, not for flirting.

"This is the only way to calm you down." "No." Penelope shook her head. "You're just trying to drivecrazy." Kelvin leaned back lazily, his fingers gently stroking her waist. "We've waited this long, Penelope, a little longer won't hurt." "The closer we get to the critical moment, the more nervous I get, and..." "And what?" Penelope voiced her concern. "When I was putting Lucy to bed, she seemed a bit off. She was lively during the day, but before bed, she seemed confused and looked unwell." Lucy was raised by her, and she could easily notice any slight change! Kelvin frowned as his phone rang; it was the butler from the King Manor.

He was about to answer, but Penelope was quicker and grabbed the phone. "Hello, how's Lucy? Make sure the maids keep an eye on her. I'm worried she might have nightmares."

"I was just about to tell you about Lucy!" "What's wrong with Lucy?" "Lucy has a low-grade fever. I've put a fever patch on her and plan to monitor her condition." A low-grade fever?Penelope's concern was justified! "So, Mrs. Davis, should we take Lucy to the hospital or keep her at hfor observation?" "Does Lucy have any other symptoms?" "No," the butler said. "She is sleeping soundly, just sweating a bit." Penelope gripped the phone tightly. "Keep an eye on her. If there's any change, take her to the hospital and notifyimmediately!" "Yes, Mrs. Davis." Penelope's slightly calmed nerves tensed up again.

She bit her lip, her palms sweaty.

"Don't panic," Kelvin comforted her. "Wait a bit longer." He slowly pried her fingers open, wiping the sweat from her palms.

Just then, Brandon cout of the kitchen with the last dish and saw the movie-like scene.

In the brightly lit living room, the man in a suit and the woman in a white dress looked like a perfect match.

And Penelope was sitting on Kelvin's lap, looking intimate.

A man's lap wasn't a place just anyone could sit.

Kelvin and Penelope were so focused they didn't notice Brandon.

"I'm here," he said softly. "Penelope, don't be afraid." She nodded.

Brandon quietly walked into the dining room, not disturbing them.

Isabella was already seated, setting the table.

"Smells great." She smiled. "Let's eat." Brandon looked at her, hesitant to speak.

"I saw Kelvin and Penelope." Isabella knew what he wanted to ask. It's fine, don't bother with them." "Why are they here?" Penelope calong too.

She wasn't here last night! Only Kelvin showed up! "I asked them to come." Isabella ladled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Brandon. "I specifically requested that Penelope be present." Brandon lowered his head. "Isabella..." "Let's eat first," Isabella interrupted. "We'll talk after we're full." Brandon had no appetite.

He couldn't figure out what Isabella was thinking.

Was she going to exchange the antidote, or did she have a new plan? The next episode was approaching.

Isabella was very attentive, constantly serving him food. "I didn't expect we'd have another chance to sit and eat together Brandon, your ver cpoking has improved a lot since yesterday. Next tyou cook, you'll be much more skilled. Cooking is something you get better at with practice. In the future, when you cook for someone you love, you won't mistake sugar for salt."
