Chapter 435 Jumping into the Sea Was Planned by Brandon and Me

Kelvin sat down next to her, and the sofa sank a bit. His breath, scent, and presence surrounded Penelope instantly. He hadn't done anything, but it felt so different with him next to her instead of across.

Then, he pulled her into his arms.

"Hey, you..." Penelope pushed against his chest, but he didn't budge. She pushed again, and he held her tighter.

"Penelope," Kelvin's chin brushed her ear, "sometimes I wonder how awful I must be to never get the woman I love."

Penelope stopped pushing. Calling himself "awful" was heavy.

"I didn't kill Mrs. Cooper, but my actions led to her stroke and vegetative state. I delayed her treatment by not allowing the special medication. I even thought Fiona was the woman from that night and let her provoke Mrs. Cooper."

"I thought you'd blame me for Mrs. Cooper's death forever. I never expected to be cleared of that blame," Kelvin said, sounding self-deprecating. "It was an unexpected resolution."

"I wanted Lucy to stay with you; I never intended to keep our daughter. But Madison..." Kelvin paused, struggling to continue.

"I didn't do a lot of things, but they happened because of me," he sighed. "You can hate me, blame me if you want. But Penelope, I'm not keeping anything from you now. Can you be straight with me too?"

Penelope's mind raced. Did he know about Sam? Was he trying to trick her into confessing?

"Penelope, Penelope," Kelvin repeated, "let's stop doubting each other and letting others come between us, okay?"

"There's nothing to come between us because we never truly loved each other."
