Chapter 545 Inviting Her to See the Truth

Or maybe he was just bored out of his mind. He knew she was done with him, and she was all about Brandon now. So, he figured he'd shake things up, make her heart skip a beat, and remind her of that old flame she had for him.

Guys are like that, you know?

The more they love, the less they show it.

When they stop loving, they want to make sure you still notice them.

"Penelope, get a grip, have some self-respect, and don't let Kelvin mess with your head anymore," she kept telling herself. "No matter what he's got planned for tomorrow or what gifts he throws your way, stick to your guns and head to the city hall for that divorce the day after tomorrow! Got it? Don't let him sway you, don't go soft! Don't fall for Kelvin's sweet talk again!"

Penelope kept repeating this mantra until she felt rock solid.

She walked over to the bed, glanced at the sleeping Lucy, and then crashed herself, feeling a bit more at ease.

She had some trouble sleeping.

But she wasn't about to let Kelvin's words keep her up all night.

The night dragged on.

The light in the main bedroom stayed on till dawn.

Kelvin shaved carefully, not wanting to look like a wreck in front of Penelope.

As usual, the three of them sat down for breakfast and then took Lucy to kindergarten together.

"Bye, Daddy, bye, Thalia." Lucy, with her backpack on, skipped into the campus.

She loved school; the teacher was super nice and patient, and most importantly, she got to see Sam!

Watching Lucy head to her classroom, Penelope turned to leave, but Kelvin said, "Hold up."

"What's up?" Penelope asked. "Aren't you supposed to take me somewhere? Aren't we in a rush?"

"No rush." Kelvin squinted, still staring at Lucy's classroom door.

Penelope found it odd and looked again.

She saw that as soon as Lucy walked into the classroom, Sam followed her right in!

"He was totally waiting for Lucy," Kelvin muttered. "We need to have a chat with the teacher."

"Kids like to play together; it's no big deal," Penelope said.

"Is it just playing, or is it something more?" Kelvin said.
