Chapter 539 Urging you to Get a Divorce and Encouraging you to Remarry "Hey, I wouldn't stoop to deceiving you," he said. "You better start thinking about how to be a good girlfriend when I win." "I..." Monica stammered.
"I like my girlfriend to be gentle, obedient, and sweet," Timothy said, stroking his chin. "Preferably cute and lovely." The elevator doors slid open, and Timothy strutted in, waving at her with a flourish. "Later!" Monica turned and stormed off, fuming.
She took the stairs! No way she was sharing an elevator with Timothy! Just seeing him ticked her off! Such a handsface, a perfectly eligible bachelor, why did he have to be such a jerk? In the company cafeteria.
Kelvin and Penelope sat across from each other.
No one dared to cwithin ten feet of them.
Who'd be crazy enough to interrupt Kelvin and Penelope while they were having lunch? Penelope kept her head down, picking at her food, avoiding Kelvin's gaze.
It was a public place, who knew how many eyes were on her? She couldn't just chat with Kelvin like she wanted! If they were at King Manor or in the office, Penelope would've already given him a piece of her mind! "Monica's just like that, you know," Penelope said. "She's a bit hot-tempered and quick-tongued, but she's not a bad person. Don't take it to heart." "What if I do want to take it to heart?" Kelvin shot back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPenelope frowned slightly. "Then blme. She's just looking out for me." Kelvin retorted. "Looking out for,vou means urging, vou to get a divorce and encouraging you to remarry?" Penelope didn't like hearing that.
She looked up and glared at Kelvin. "Monica is my best friend. Whether I'm down and out or doing well, she's always been there for me. If you want to hear a good word from her, it's not that hard. As long as you're good enough, she'll definitely praise you without hesitation!" Kelvin chuckled softly. "So, I'm not good enough." "Good?" Penelope laughed. "Kelvin, you haven't even met the basic standards of a husband. How can you say you're good? If you were good to me, Monica wouldn't be encouragingto get a divorce! She would only wish us a lifetof happiness together." Actually, Kelvin got all that.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Monica go so easily.
No one could criticize him like that! But Kelvin hoped that when everything was out in the open and everyone saw what he had sacrificed and given, Monica would say something fair.
His love for Penelope was no less. Not one bit.
"Penelope," Kelvin asked, "haven't you noticed something off between Timothy and Monica?" Penelope paused. "I noticed a bit." But she couldn't guess what it was.
It seemed like there was sbet between them.
Just as she was thinking, Nathan's voice suddenly cfrom the cafeteria. "Penelope?" For a moment, Penelope thought she was hearing things.
Why would Nathan be in the Davis Group's employee cafeteria? She turned to look.
She saw Nathan in a black suit, standing next to Tina.
Tina was clearly flustered. 'Oh no, oh no, why is Penelope here?' If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free.

Nathan was Penelope's ex-fiancé, and everyone in the Davis Group knew that! Avoiding suspicion was the best move! Now, thanks to Tina, Penelope and Nathan not only bumped into each other but did so right in front of Kelvin! "Nathan." Penelope slowly stood up and gave him a warm smile. "It's you. Long tno see. Didn't expect to run into you here." Kelvin slowly narrowed his eyes. "Nathan?" "Mr. Davis." Nathan walked over and greeted Kelvin like it was no big deal. "Hello." "Quite a surprise to see Mr. Smith here," Kelvin raised an eyebrow. "This is a place for employees." Nathan replied, "Isn't Mr. Davis here as well?" "This is my company," Kelvin said.
"I'm a partner of your company. Just finished a meeting," Nathan smiled slightly. "So, Ms. Campbell invitedover to try the Davis Group's cafeteria. She was very enthusiastic and praised the food here, so I thought I'd have lunch." Kelvin's gaze shifted to Tina. "So, you brought Mr. Smith over." Kelvin's tone was dripping with meaning.
Tina felt super awkward! She had accidentally stirred up trouble!
"Mr. Davis, um..." Tina stammered, "I've always been in charge of the work with Smith Group. Mr. Smith cover for a meeting today, and bus until now. I thought the cafeteria food was nutritious and rich, so I brought Mr. Smith..." Seeing Tina so flustered, Penelope couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for her. She said, "I know, you did well. Someone like Mr. Smith, who's dined at all kinds of five-star restaurants, would love to experience something new." we've been busy wil If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues.

"Alright, Tina, let's go get Mr. Smith a meal," Penelope said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNathan looked at her. "Thank you. But callby my name. Penelope, I don't think we're that distant." Penelope smiled. "Alright, Nathan." He smiled too, gentle as ever, just like the Nathan in her memories.
Penelope and Tina went to the counter to get food.
Nathan sat down slowly. "Mr. Davis. It's been a while since we last met." "I've been deliberately avoiding you. Can't you tell?" Kelvin said.
"I can tell," Nathan said. "But I still want to thank you, Mr. Davis." Nathan understood Kelvin's support for the Smith Group over the years well.
He knew that Kelvin did it for Penelope's sake.
"I don't need your useless thanks," Kelvin said. "I helped you to keep you away from Penelope."
If Nathan wanted the Smith Group to prosper, he had to let go of his m feelings for Penelope and stop pursuing her. Otherwise, Kelvin would withdraw all his support and could even bankrupt Smith Group! That was his intention! Nathan understood, too! "Since she returned to LA, I haven't seen her privately," Nathan said. "Isn't that enough for you, Mr. Davis?" "Keep it that way," Kelvin said.
Nathan nodded but then chuckled lightly. "Mr. Davis, you guard againstso tightly, but it doesn't seem to help much to keep someone, to hold onto someone, it's not about guarding. It's about filling them with love so they willingly stay by your side."
