Chapter 175 For You, I'd Take on the World

Penelope shot a subconscious glance at Grandpa Davis before taking a step forward.

Kelvin, sharp as ever, noticed her fleeting gaze.

He then looked at Grandpa Davis. "How long have I been out?"

Grandpa Davis replied, "Three, four days now."

"What have you done with Penelope during this time?" he accused Grandpa Davis.

Grandpa Davis frowned and replied, "Kelvin, what do you mean? Are you questioning me?"

Kelvin pressed, "Just answer my question truthfully, Grandpa."

Grandpa Davis laughed dryly. "I've kept Penelope under strict watch at The King Manor, away from you! Was I wrong?" he retorted, sarcastically.

Kelvin's lips tightened. "I suspect there's more to it," he murmured.

The moment he asked Penelope to come to him, she hesitated, looking to Grandpa Davis for approval.

It was obvious that Grandpa Davis had threatened her.

A wave of regret flashed through Kelvin. He should have given Timothy strict instructions to prevent any encounters with the Davis family and to spare her any discomfort.

Now, it was too late; she had already been treated unfairly.

Grandpa Davis exploded with anger and said, "You are so... completely enchanted by that woman! This bitch!"

The butler quickly intervened, trying to smooth things over. "Mr. Davis, Mrs. Davis has been here all day, attending to you, with the old master's consent!" he explained.

"What's there to explain!" Grandpa Davis snapped, throwing his hands up. "Kelvin, let me be clear: Penelope can no longer stay by your side!"

With that, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.

The butler hastened after him to soothe the older man's temper.

Now, only Kelvin and Penelope remained in the ward.

He looked at her. "Now that we're alone, won't you come closer?" he beckoned, gently.

Hearing this, Penelope felt touched deep in her heart.

A moment passed, and then Kelvin spoke again. "Or is it that you don't want to be near me-!"
