Chapter 163 Penelope Goes Missing

"Don't look at me like that. I'm stating the facts," Penelope responded. "Kelvin, I am a person, a living, breathing, free individual. You can't control everything I do!"

Was he so possessive that he needed to oversee whom she spoke to? Who does he think he was, a master of an estate by the Pacific? So ridiculously overbearing!

"I just care..." Kelvin softened his tone, "Seeing you so friendly with others makes me jealous, incredibly jealous."

He wanted to be more open, but he just couldn't. Kelvin was accustomed to getting whatever he wanted, be it the wind or the rain. Anything he desired, he had to possess. Others dared not even glance at the woman he loved without repercussions!

Kelvin asked, "Then who do you like?"

"Do you like me, Penelope?" Kelvin pressed, "Have you ever felt a flutter in your heart for me? Even just a little?"

Penelope turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.

"If you don't answer, I'm taking it as a yes," Kelvin stated.

The moment he said that she responded quickly, "I don't like you."

"I don't believe you," he remarked.

If the child had been with them, Kelvin was sure he and Penelope would still have a future.

Unfortunately... sigh. Maybe they could try for another, but how could one be so
