From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 111 I Haven't Met Anthony Yet

The day was drawing to a close when Penelope found herself still refining the minute details of a design draft.

Suddenly, the tranquility of her workspace was shattered by a commotion at the door.

saw Kelvin making his grand entrance, a throng of people surrounding

conversations with Fiona, the subtle hints that suggested he was infatuated with her. The mere thought quickened Penelope's pulse. She had never attempted to entice him, always maintaining a respectful distance. So why was he showing interest now? Was it merely a

thought. When the boss called, she had no choice but to respond. Amidst the knowing glances and hushed whispers of her colleagues, Penelope rose from her seat, "Yes?""Come here," he commanded.What was Kelvin up to? Did he not care about the rumors already circulating? "Mr. Davis, I still have unfinished work," she protested. "It's quitting time. Finish it tomorrow."Before she could respond, he had already turned away, the crowd parting for him as if by instinct. With all eyes on her, Penelope steeled herself and followed him out of the office. Once they were in the car, she couldn't resist asking, "What's this all about, Kelvin?""I'm taking you home," he replied. "I can walk myself home," she retorted.Ignoring her protest, he simply said, "We're going to the Davis family home tonight.""Oh..." Penelope responded, "A text message or a word from Assistant Ryan would have sufficed.""Are you afraid of me coming to your department?" he asked."Are you unaware of the rumors about us at work?" she countered."Nope," Kelvin responded with a raised eyebrow."Because no one dares gossip in front of me," he added, leaving Penelope speechless. "Just so you know, there are rumors going around the office. They're saying that you're taking care of me."Kelvin pondered for a few seconds before replying, "Not entirely inaccurate.""What?!" Penelope couldn't hide her surprise."You're dependent on me for food, clothing, and living," Kelvin responded, "So, yeah, in a way, I am taking care of you.""I'm your wife! We're legally married and have a marriage certificate! These rumors started because you've been keeping our marriage a secret," Penelope retorted, her anger flaring. What did they mean by 'keeping'? She was perfectly capable of supporting herself as an independent modern woman! It was Kelvin who clipped her wings, preventing her from soaring, and now he had the audacity to say he's 'keeping' her? The thought was ludicrous!Kelvin watched her silently as her anger bubbled over. After a long pause, he uttered a single word: "Oh "Renelpre.co.id.barely.contain, her fuustration Turning, her, head trazeut the car window, she chose to ignore him. The car pulled into the Davis family home.Grandpa's eyes lit up when he saw Penelope and he asked, "How have you been feeling lately? Take good care of yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing you showing soon!""Everything's great, Grandpa," she replied."Good, good. If you need anything, you tell me. We can't neglect my great-grandchild, now can we?" Grandpa said, his eyes twinkling with anticipation.Kelvin, however, sat impassively, his ankles crossed. "Kelvin," Grandpa said, turning his attention to him, "you dismissed the staff I arranged at King Manor a few days ago, and we haven't settled that yet.""King Manor isn't short- staffed. There was no need for that, Grandpa," Kelvin retorted.Penelope suddenly understood. No wonder Kelvin managed to move Fiona in, and even after the big fall, Grandpa had been nowhere in sight. He had no idea because the spies had been pulled out."I'm just looking out for you," Grandpa said."Thanks for the concern, Grandpa," Kelvin replied. "You... alright, alright. For the sake of my great-grandchild, I'll let it slide," Grandpa said, turning back to Penelope with a warm smile, inquiring about her well-being.Lily sat nearby, her face twisted in
