Chapter140I've Decided, No Divorce

He intentionally intended to squeeze into this tiny hospital bed with her!

Standing at six-foot-two, he couldn't fully stretch his legs in the cramped space.

"Kelvin, get up!" Penelope nudged his shoulder. "Who says I want to share a bed with you?"

His eyes remained closed, a picture of ease. "Would you rather have me sleep on the floor?"

"Go back to your home!"

"It's not home without you."

Penelope was at a loss for words.

The narrow hospital bed barely fit one adult, let alone two, making even turning over a challenge.

She had no choice but to lean against Kelvin's chest.

As if that wasn't bad enough, any slight movement made the bed creak embarrassingly loud, clearly not built for the weight of two.

"Sleep on the couch!" Penelope pointed, her patience wearing thin. "Or I will."

Otherwise, she wouldn't get any sleep tonight.

As she tried to get up, Kelvin's hand pressed gently against her stomach. "Stop fussing and sleep."

"I'll take the couch! Mr. Davis, Your Highness, the bed is all yours!"

Yet, Kelvin didn't budge, effectively pinning Penelope down. He found the situation amusing, a smirk playing on his lips. Penelope, frustrated, punched his chest and turned her back on him.

Kelvin wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Goodnight."

Two people squeezed together on the small bed.

Soon, Kelvin fell into a deep sleep, his breathing even and steady, his hand resting on her waist the whole time.

Penelope, however, lay there wide-eyed, sleep evading her.

to persevere. But now, with Kelvin's sudden affection, professing he liked her... Penelope was bewildered.
