Chapter 104 Wrongly Blamed All Along

She was hellbent on uncovering the truth.

After all, Fiona must have left some sort of trail behind - if you don't want anyone to know, don't do it...

After a tense pause, Kelvin said, "I can believe you."

Penelope blinked, utterly baffled.

Had she heard him right?

Kelvin believed her?

"Are you serious?" Penelope asked cautiously. "You believe I'm not responsible?"

"I don't want to delve into this matter any further."

Whether it was an intentional fall or an accidental one...

For two pregnant women, it was dangerous either way.

Penelope was even more confused. "Drop it? Just like that?"

"As long as you cooperate, we can turn the page on this," Kelvin declared. "Bottom line, my and Fiona's child is gone, but your child is still here. She's the victim, and you owe her an apology to earn her forgiveness."

"Me, apologize to Fiona?"

"Yes."

"Because she miscarried and I didn't?"

"Yes."

Penelope laughed, a bittersweet sound. "So that's your angle, Kelvin."

It wasn't just about apologizing, but doing so until Fiona forgave her. Why should she seek Fiona's forgiveness?

"Yes. Penelope, this is a significant concession on my part." "Impossible." She refused outright. "I owe Fiona nothing."

Kelvin's expression turned icy. "Penelope, don't be foolish."

"I've never been one to play along, and that's nothing new to you."

If she'd wanted to play it safe, she wouldn't be in this mess now.

There are things she doesn't do, not because she can't, but because she won't.

Kevin drew his knees onto the bed and lifted her chin with his hand. "Penelope, you caused the death of my child. All I'm asking for is an apology, and then we can put this behind us... and you still refuse?"
