Chapter 661 Lucy is Giving Us the Cold Shoulder

"Nope," Kelvin said, more firmly than she did. "You heard wrong."

The father and daughter stared each other down.

Lucy didn't argue but said, "Then I'll call again."

She reached for Kelvin's phone, but he held it high, out of her reach.

Seeing this, Penelope stepped in, squatted down, and gently said, "Lucy, your mom's busy right now. Don't bother her. Wait until tomorrow when she's free, okay?"

Lucy silently stared at Kelvin, her stubborn gaze showing she was determined to call again!

Kelvin met her gaze for a few seconds before looking away.

He could be tough with anyone, but not with these two.

"It's bedtime," Kelvin said, softening his tone. "You can call her tomorrow. I'm not stopping you from video chatting with her."

"You're still lying," Lucy said. "Mom screamed in fear just now, and you didn't care. You didn't even ask what happened; you just hung up. Dad, you're hiding something from me."

"I'm not."

"Please, tell me. Where is Mom?" Lucy asked.

Kelvin insisted, "She's on vacation."

Lucy knew he was lying, but what could she do?

She had cried and thrown tantrums. What else was left?

"Just one more video call, just one," Lucy pleaded. "I need to make sure Mom's safe."

Kelvin didn't budge. "I said, call her tomorrow."

"Why can't you let me do it today?"

"Lucy, listen to me," Kelvin said.
