Chapter 639 You Can Soothe Me with a Little Coquetry

Penelope was totally confused. "You tricked him?"

"Yep."

Brandon pointed to the crushed pill on the ground. "Didn't you wonder why there was a vitamin pill?"

Penelope thought for a second, and with Brandon's mention of trickery, she got it.

"The vitamin pill is yours?" she asked.

"I made Kelvin think that if he didn't give me the same medicine as Isabella, I'd take the pill I found myself. Then I'd lie to Isabella, saying Kelvin gave me a new type of medicine," Brandon explained. "He had no choice but to give it to me."

So that's how it went down.

Penelope had a hunch that Kelvin wouldn't have given the medicine to Brandon so quickly, but things were urgent, and she was only worried about Brandon's health.

She didn't expect she had misunderstood him so badly.

If Kelvin had wanted Brandon to take the medicine, he would've given it to him at the hospital, not waited until today.

"Penelope, don't beat yourself up. It was my choice," Brandon said. "If I didn't take it, I'd regret not helping you and not making Isabella realize her mistake."

Then he chuckled softly. "It's already started. You can't turn back time. Let Kelvin keep the antidote for now. I need to find Isabella. Penelope, wait for my news."

Hopefully, it would be good news.

This was also Brandon's first time using Isabella's love!

No one could say for sure how much of a chance there was!

As he left, Brandon glanced back at Kelvin, who sat pale-faced in the leather chair, his thin lips tightly pressed together.

Being misunderstood, of course, didn't feel good.

Luckily, Brandon's patient explanation had made Penelope understand the truth.

The rest was up to the couple to sort out themselves.

Once Brandon left, the office became incredibly quiet that Penelope could hear her own heartbeat.

What to do? Just now, she not only misunderstood Kelvin but also yelled at him.
