Chapter 201 Penelope, Let's Team Up

"You just said you didn't want kids!" Penelope retorted.

"But you also said that you just didn't want to have mine," Kelvin replied. "If that's the case, I'll have to insist you bear my children first, no matter what."

Penelope lifted a hand to wipe her mouth. "Kelvin, you're selfish and arrogant!" she hissed.

Kelvin said, "For the sake of our future children, let me be selfish this one last time."

After kissing her fervently for quite some time, leaving Penelope almost breathless, he finally stood up and headed to the bathroom. The sound of running water filled the air. Penelope sat there, her cheeks flushed and her heart racing.

Suddenly, her phone screen lit up.

It was a message from Anthony.

Anthony: [Meet tonight. I'll send the location.]

Penelope frowned. How should she handle this? How could she slip out of The King Manor?

Meeting during the day wasn't safe; if Kelvin found out, it would be a disaster.

Penelope: [Okay, I'll be there on time.]

After putting her phone away, she racked her brain for a plan.

Finally... her eyes landed on the glass of milk on the bedside table. It was the milk she'd had before bed last night.

Ten minutes later, Kelvin came out of the bathroom just as Penelope walked in with the milk in hand.

"Here," she offered, "I warmed it up for you. It's at a perfect temperature to help you sleep."

Kelvin raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "For me?" he said in disbelief.

She replied, "Yes."

His smile turned suggestive, which made her very nervous, yet she managed to maintain a composed facade. "What's so funny? If you don't want it, forget it-I'll drink it myself."

She turned to leave, but inside her head, she was counting on him to take it. She'd

laced the milk with enough sleeping pills to knock him out cold for the entire night so she could meet Anthony with no worries.

"Wait," Kelvin pulled her back, his arm encircling her waist. "I didn't say I wouldn't drink it."

Relieved, Penelope handed him the milk, but he didn't take it. "Feed it to me," he requested.
