From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 187 Never Been Kissed, Never Held Hands

During her months with the Davis family, Penelope grew increasingly aware that Lily and her son were the most restless, the most hidden within the Davis family.

They also had the most motive... to want Mr. Davis Sr dead!

"I know who it is. Lily and her son, I'll deal with them sooner or later," Kelvin responded, "They won't get the chance to hurt you."

Penelope gazed at him, "You're known for making quick and decisive moves without sparing feelings, yet you've repeatedly indulged Lily and her son, never really settling the score. Is it because of Grandpa Davis's sake?"

He said, "No."

"Then why?" she asked.

Kelvin's face took on a reluctant expression.

Penelope felt her palms sweat, damp with nervousness.

Bringing up these issues in front of him was risky. One careless word could drag Mr. Davis into the conversation.

And the death of Mr. Davis Sr has always been off-limits for Kelvin.

After a pause, Kelvin finally softened and spoke up, "It's because my father, on his deathbed, made me promise to look after them."

So that was it!

What did Mr. Davis Sr say?

Penelope was curious, but... she didn't ask.

If Kelvin wanted to share, he would. If he didn't want to talk about it, no amount of prodding would get a word out of him.

"All of this is in the past now." Kelvin's chin rested on her shoulder, nestled by her neck, "Penelope, do you want to hear about it?"

Penelope feigned indifference, "...up to you."

"You... you really do want to know, but you're too stubborn to admit it." Kelvin's breath tickled her neck, causing an instinctive urge to pull away.

But he held her tighter.

"I've never talked about this with anyone, not even Grandpa," Kelvin's voice was low, "Not just on my father's deathbed, the day before the accident, my father had a secret talk with me."

"A talk?” she asked.

"Yes," Kelvin continued, "he wanted me to give half my share of the company to Lily and her son for free."

Penelope was surprised, "Half? That much?"
