Chapter 116 The Unveiling of a Deception

Kelvin was on the brink of lighting a cigarette when Fiona interjected, "Mr. Davis, you should really consider reducing your smoking; it's detrimental to your health. And besides, we're contemplating having another child; you should quit for the sake of preconception care." He responded with a slight frown.

Sensing his displeasure, Fiona quickly added, "But with the stress of work, an occasional cigarette won't hurt too much, right?" In an attempt to appease him, she reached for the lighter to ignite his cigarette. However, Kelvin suddenly lost the desire to smoke.

Fiona's comment had hit a nerve. Had he ever consented to planning for another child with her?"Mr. Davis..." Fiona stuttered, sensing tension, "Did I say something inappropriate?"

Kelvin's expression cooled, "You're here because Penelope requested it."

"Penelope?" Fiona questioned, only to be met with a confident nod from Penelope.

"Fiona, you just suffered a miscarriage and already you're eager to try again? Isn't that a bit hasty?" Penelope asked.

Fiona retorted, "This is a private matter between Mr. Davis and me. What business is it of yours?"

Penelope calmly replied, "I'm merely reminding you to take care of your health."

Fiona scoffed, "That's really none of your concern. So, what do you want? Do you think a simple apology can make amends? Let me be clear-it's not going to happen! I've laid out my terms, and unless you meet them, there will be no forgiveness!"Penelope couldn't help but find Fiona's defiant stance amusing. In a soft tone, she said, "I did nothing wrong. Why would I need your forgiveness?"

Fiona challenged, "Feeling confident, are we, Penelope? So you're not going to apologize at all, then?"

Penelope confirmed, "That's right."
