Chapter 278 If Time Could Go Back

His hands were so big, and hers were so small; he could completely envelop her.

"Kelvin, have you ever loved anyone before me?"

"Never."

Penelope looked up at him. "You've never experienced love?"

"No," Kelvin replied, "Penelope, my parents divorced when I was a child. My father remarried Lily. My mother left LA and never came back; she didn't contact anyone."

This was a scar deep in Kelvin's heart.

About his family, about his home.

"No one taught me how to love, no one told me what love is." He gently stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips. "Every day, I learned a lot of coursework, form the etiquette of high society to social interactions and strategies."

"Love? To the Davis family and Davis Group, it's the least important thing. Marriage is just a means of forming powerful alliances to achieve greater benefits."

"Since meeting you, I've realized how wonderful an experience love can be in life."

James taught him that only success and realizing one's value truly mattered in this world.

Kelvin used to think so too.

But now, he didn't think that way anymore.

Everyone had their own life path; wealth and luxury were one way to live, and simple meals were another.

Having a lover and children, the most ordinary happiness, was actually the hardest to come by!

Penelope listened quietly.

Even someone as strong as Kelvin had such a vulnerable and ordinary side, shown only to her.

She tugged at the corner of his suit. "But we can't go back."

His Adam's apple bobbed. "Penelope, let's try. How will you know if you never try?"

Penelope sat on his lap, her feet swinging, her skin as white as snow, so glaringly white. His hand rested on her knee, contrasting sharply with her skin.

Like a movie scene.

"I tried," Penelope shook her head. "It didn't work."

Kelvin frowned. "When did you try?"
