Chapter 386 When He Gets Cunning, Not Even Lucy Is Spared "Kelvin, I made it clear in front of Mr.Liam Davis." "I've never given you any gifts, this is my..." Penelope cut him off, "Kelvin, your gifts are always too expensive. I can't accept them." That crown was already too much for her.
And now, he wanted her to take shares.
"I never wanted these things," Penelope sighed. "Let's just leave it." She gently placed the contract on the table.
Kelvin stood still.
"Penelope, I've been thinking. What do I have to do to see a real smile from you?" "I want to give you everything I have, but you don't care. You don't even look at it." "What do you really want, freedom? I gave it to you. I said I'd let you and Lucy go, and you can cand go freely in LA." Penelope looked up and met his gaze.
So deep, so dark.
"Kelvin, what I want may never be attainable." From the start, Penelope just wanted a sincere heart, a simple and lasting relationship.
She didn't want power or wealth.
She just wanted someone to love her wholeheartedly, till death do them part.
But her marriage with Kelvin had left her scarred, making it impossible for her to love someone wholeheartedly again.

Lucy looked at Kelvin, then at Penelope.
"My tummy is hungry," she tugged at Penelope's hand. "Mommy, I want to eat." Penelope collected her thoughts. "Alright, what do you want to eat? I'll make it." "I'll eat whatever mommy makes!" Lucy reminded, "Make sfor daddy too." "You..." Afraid that Kelvin wouldn't have anything to eat.
She turned and walked towards the kitchen, Kelvin followed. "I'll help you." "You go focus on your work," Penelope refused him.
Kelvin sat on the sofa with the documents on his lap and a pen in his hand.
He looked at a page of the document, then looked up at the kitchen.
Lucy, like a little kitten, stayed by his side.
"Daddy, You're not concentrating on your work," Lucy criticized, "Your writing is crooked." "Because mommy is around. I can't focus." Lucy said, "Mommy is always here. She won't run away." "She's here, but..." her heart wasn't.
Kelvin couldn't keep her, nor did he know how to.
"But what?" Lucy looked at him curiously.
Kelvin patted her head. "Nothing, Lucy, what kind of job do you want to do when you grow up?" "Uh..." Lucy replied, "I haven't thought about it yet." She was just in kindergarten, asking about future careers was indeed a bit far-fetched. Kelvin asked, "Do you want to be a boss?" "A boss?" Lucy's eyes were innocent. "Is it someone very powerful, who manages a lot of people and is very rich?" "Yes,With thousands of employees across the country following your commands." "I want to!" Lucy nodded eagerly. "So cool! I can be the boss of thousands of people! Daddy, I must study hard!" "You have a chance to be a boss right now." "Really?" Kelvin affirmed, "Of course it's true."

"Look, this is a contract," Kelvin pointed at the signature line. "Lucy, just write your nand press your fingerprint, and you can be a boss when you grow up." "Is it that simple?" "Yes." Kelvin handed her the pen.
Lucy took it and carefully wrote her name. It was crooked but neat.
Kelvin then took out the ink pad. "Con, Lucy, press your finger on it, then press it on your name." Lucy did as she was told. It was her first tdoing this, and she found it fun, covering all five fingers with red ink and pressing them on the contract's signature line.
Seeing this, Kelvin smiled with satisfaction.
WhenKelvin was cunning, he wouldn't even spare Lucy! "Very good," Kelvin nodded. "Lucy is so smart." "But daddy, what if I can't manage so many people?" "No worries, you can hire someone to manage them. All you need to do is count the money." Lucy nodded, half understanding.
Penelope had just finished making soup and brought it to the table, steaming hot.
"Mommy!" Lucy waved the contract proudly. "When I beca boss and make lots of money, I'll buy you a three-story house!" "A boss?" Penelope walked over suspiciously. When she saw it was a share transfer contract with Lucy's signature and fingerprint, she was shocked.
"Kelvin!" She immediately looked at him. "You even tricked a child!" "What trick? Lucy is my daughter. My things are naturally hers too." "You..." Penelope couldn't reason with him. She reached out to grab the contract.

Before Penelope could finish, Kelvin had already taken the contract from Lucy and stood up, holding it high.
This way, Penelope couldn't reach it at all.
"Kelvin!" Penelope kept jumping, trying hard to grab the contract.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut it was useless.
The higher she jumped, the higher Kelvin held it. She couldn't even touch the edge of the contract.
Penelope gritted her teeth. She didn't believe it! "Penelope, I won't let you take it." "You're shameless! You tricked Lucy into signing and stamping it while I wasn't here!" "I didn't trick Lucy. She did it willingly." Penelope was too angry to talk to him, focusing solely on grabbing the contract.
She didn't notice that she was already pressed tightly against Kelvin, apd his hand was on her waist, protectively, afraid she might fall.
Penelope was so focused on grabbing, jumping up and down, almost hanging onto Kelvin.
"Mommy, you look like a kangaroo," Lucy said.
Only then did she realize that her position with Kelvin was too intimate.
Penelope quickly tried to step back but ended up stepping on Kelvin's shoe, twisting her ankle, and falling backward.
"Ah."
She exclaimed, instinctively grabbing Kelvin's shirt collar, pulling him down e. her. with the collulling Fortunately, there was a bed behind them! Penelope fell onto the bed, with Kelvin on top of her.
The fall left her a bit dizzy, unable to recover for a moment.
