Chapter 448 I'm Afraid It Will Affect Your Remarriage

Just a minute ago, Kelvin was all up in her face, and now he was acting all sweet and lovey-dovey.

"What's his deal? Is he like, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or something?"

"What are you doing?" She squirmed a bit. "You better back off, or I'll scream bloody murder. Seriously, watch it!"

Kelvin chuckled, "Still mad, huh?"

"You can trash-talk me, but I can't be mad?"

Penelope wriggled some more. When Kelvin still wouldn't let go, she stomped hard on his fancy shoe and yanked her hand free.

She darted a few steps away, then spun around to glare at him. "I'll just assume you're still loopy from being sick and talking out of your butt, so I won't fight with you. Now that you're up and about, I'm outta here."

Kelvin asked, all calm and collected, "Why'd you come?"

"Huh?"

"Why'd you come to take care of me?" he pressed. "You could've just ignored me." Penelope was stumped. After a few seconds, she said, "The butler sent a car. The driver was waiting downstairs, and I felt bad saying no! Yeah, I'm just a pushover like that!" Kelvin gave her a long look. "Penelope, that's not it. You showed up 'cause you were worried about me."

Penelope bit her lip.

Why'd he have to call her out like that?

When Kelvin lied about just passing by her place, she didn't call him out!

"Yeah, fine, I was worried," Penelope admitted. "I don't want Lucy to finally find her dad only to discover he's become an idiot due to a high fever!"

Seeing the tension rise, the butler quickly stepped in. "Mrs. Davis, Mr. Davis just got over his fever, and you know how he is." The butler then raised his voice, "Mr. Davis had the kitchen whip up your favorite breakfast as soon as he came downstairs. He's thinking of you."

Penelope pouted and stayed quiet.

She didn't want to fight with Kelvin either.

It was too draining, especially first thing in the morning.

She'd taken care of him all night, and he didn't even appreciate it, just grilling her about why she came.

Penelope didn't know why either. Let's just say she had nothing better to do! "I'm not eating." Penelope said, "I gotta get to the office. I'm almost late..."
