From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 159 I Shouldn't Have Replaced Penelope

"Did you?" Kelvin pressed, "After that night, during these days we've spent together, did your heart ever beat for me?"

She said nothing.

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as a yes. That you loved me," Kelvin claimed, obstinate

in his ways.

Penelope tugged at the corner of her mouth, forcing a smile uglier than tears. "What does it matter if we love each other? Even if you love me and I love you, can we be together?"

"I want to know your answer," he pressed.

All it would take was for her to say she loved him, and he'd move heaven and earth for her!

Kelvin's gaze looked onto her. "You had feelings for me, Penelope. I don't believe your heart is made of stone, so unyielding. You protect the child so fiercely because of the feelings you developed that night, right?"

"No!" Penelope fervently denied.

"Yes!" Kelvin declared, "You never said it, but I could tell. You've been waiting for the man from that night to appear, to take you away, to give you hope! Now, I am that man from that night!"

Penelope replied, deliberate with every word, "The man I love was the one who was incredibly tender to me that night. The one who whispered promises of marriage in my ear. A responsible gentleman, not the terrifying and selfish Kelvin standing before me now!"

His already battered heart felt the sting of her words once more.

"I hate you, Kelvin. I've said it more than once that I hate you. How could you think I love you?" Penelope scoffed, "It's ridiculous! Who could love an enemy? Someone who has ruined their entire life?"

Saying these words hurt Penelope, too. But she wanted him to hurt more, ten times more than she did. To harm herself a little was to make him suffer greatly.

Penelope turned on her heel and disappeared into the stairwell.

She bit her lower lip hard enough to draw blood, holding back the sobs.
