From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 567 Why, Penelope?

If they were ever gonna catch feelings for each other, it would've happened four years ago, not now.

Brandon was just using her as a front. He wanted to clear the way for the real Mitchell family heiress, his princess, to come back.

Penelope was cool with being his cover.

She wanted to use this chance to get away from Kelvin too.

So, she had to be cold and ruthless with her words!

"Kelvin," Penelope smiled, "even if Brandon doesn't love me that much, I don't care. As long as I love him, that's enough. As long as I can be with him, I'm happy. He's a good guy; he won't treat me too badly. No matter how bad it gets, no guy can be worse than you, who doesn't even know how to love a woman."

Kelvin's fingers tightened a bit, slowly slipping off the steering wheel.

Penelope's words cut deep.

The pain was invisible, right in his heart, with countless tiny wounds that couldn't be seen! Only he could feel them!

Penelope went on, "I once heard a saying. A man, if he's gentle and chivalrous enough, can make you feel like his love is at 200%, even if it's only half-hearted. Conversely, if a man is not tender, and has poor character, his love for you, no matter how intense it may seem, might only translate to half the warmth you'd expect to feel. So, Kelvin, even if Brandon doesn't love me, he'll treat me well and won't make me sad or upset." Kelvin leaned back in his seat, staring out at the endless night through the car window.

It was pitch black, no light, no hope. Just like him right now.

"So, Penelope," Kelvin's voice was rough. "Can you accept that Brandon doesn't love you that much?"

"Yes," Penelope said.

"Why, Penelope?" His voice got lower, almost like he was talking to himself, "You're so tolerant of Brandon; you can even accept that he doesn't love you."

'Isn't love the foundation of being together? If there's no love, what's the point of being together?' But I love you so much.' Kelvin couldn't get it.

Of course, their love didn't need his understanding in the first place!

"Because Brandon has never hurt me, never wronged me," Penelope said. "He's helped me a lot."

"Then what you feel for him should be gratitude, not love! Penelope, can you tell if you

love him or are just grateful to him?" Kelvin said.
