Chapter 811 I Love You, You Can Confirm It with Me Repeatedly
At that time, Penelope had no idea that Kelvin was actually willing to let Lucy stay with her.
He was ready to hand over the child without a second thought.
Penelope thought he was just saying it to make her feel better.
Looking back now, she realized she had misunderstood him.
"Do you believe me now?" Kelvin asked.
Penelope's demeanor softened, "Yeah, I believe you. You've been showing me through your actions, and I've started to trust you and let my guard down."
"Then why didn't you make it clear that you don't love Brandon?"
"I thought you could see it."
Kelvin looked at her seriously, "Penelope, whether you love me or not, I never dared to assume. I need to hear it from you, over and over. You need to tell me you love me, only me. Only then will I truly believe it, and keep believing it."
Kelvin had always been a confident, even arrogant guy.
He came from a wealthy family, and everything he wanted was easily within his reach, all under his control.
In LA, anything he set his eyes on would naturally come to him.
Kelvin rarely cared about anything.
But after he met Penelope, everything changed completely.
During their years of marriage, he constantly sought confirmation, both openly and secretly, about whether Penelope truly loved him.
Even after getting an answer, he wanted to confirm again, to test again, to ask her openly and secretly how much she loved him.
How long would she love him?
Would she always love him?
Would her love shift?
Kelvin had enough security in everything because he could control it.
Except for Penelope's love for him, how much she loved him, and whether she only loved him, he was always anxious and uncertain.
Even now, at this very moment, he was still wondering how much she loved him.
How deep was that love?
Seeing Kelvin's vulnerability and lack of confidence, Penelope's heart softened.
Because a man who was strong and invincible suddenly revealed his wounds in front of her, the impact was overwhelming.
Penelope couldn't handle it!
"Kelvin," she said, "from now on, every day, you can ask me again and again if I love you."
His gaze softened considerably.
"I love you," Penelope looked at him, "if you doubt it tomorrow, you can ask me again."
She loved him.
He could confirm it with her repeatedly.
Kelvin couldn't hold back any longer. He stretched out his long arms and hugged her tightly.
"I love you too, Penelope," he said, inhaling the scent of her hair. You can ask me again and again, too."
"I don't need to. I know you love me, and I know you will always love me, without change."
Kelvin hugged her tighter, as if he wanted to merge her into his bones and blood.
Penelope raised her hand and hugged him back.
"Kelvin, the reason I'm so sure is because your words and actions tell me you love me. I'm confident and believe in your love. Maybe I haven't done well enough, I haven't expressed it like you do, which makes you so anxious."
"Don't be afraid, you haven't lost me, you always have me. From now, to the future, to the end of the world."
Kelvin's hands trembled slightly.
At this moment, he truly felt he had her.
Completely had her!
From her body to her heart! She was his!
"Penelope, Penelope," Kelvin murmured her name. "I realize now that truly having someone isn't about completely possessing and controlling their every move. It's..."
His Adam's apple bobbed, "It's knowing that I don't have to do anything, say anything, but I know you're always there, you won't leave. No matter how late it is, you'll come home to us, we'll sleep in the same bed, forever and ever."
This is true love.
Love isn't about completely occupying someone, tying their hands and feet, and monitoring their heart.
Love is mutual dependence, mutual freedom, mutual fulfillment!
It's having each other in your hearts, no matter where you go!
Kelvin had been wrong before, terribly wrong!
Now, he finally understood!
Penelope raised her head, leaned close to his ear, and gently told him, "Yes, no matter how many people appear around me, the only one who occupies my heart is you. And you, too, no matter how many women are around you, in your heart, there's only me."
Love doesn't need monitoring, management, or possession.
True possession is knowing clearly that no matter how far he goes or how busy he is, he will always come back to you.
This is the highest level of possessing someone!
"Kelvin," she said, "I'm a bit shy, so my way of expressing love isn't very direct, sometimes too reserved, which makes it hard for you to see."
"It's okay, I'll change, express more, be sweeter to you. This way, you can feel more secure, more satisfied, right?"
"But even if I don't express it, you need to know, I love you."
The more Penelope spoke, the softer her voice became. She stood on tiptoe and leaned close to his ear.
"It's my first time being a wife. If I'm lacking, please take care of me, Mr. Davis."
Kelvin held her waist, his palms hot, his heart even hotter.
He lowered his head to find her lips, wanting to kiss her deeply.
He needed to confirm that this was really happening, not a hallucination or a dream, and that the woman in his arms was his beloved Penelope.
But Penelope turned her head away.
"Don't be so eager," she whispered, "I don't want Sam to tease us again."
Kelvin's voice was husky, "Just one kiss, just one, Penelope."
Penelope quickly brushed her lips against his.
That wasn't enough.
It made Kelvin's heart itch even more, and he wanted to press her onto the couch.
But there was a third person here.
Sam was a huge distraction!
Annoying and in the way!
If Sam knew Kelvin's thoughts at this moment, he would probably scream, "It's my parents showing affection in my hospital room!"
This was his territory!
Penelope saw the meaning in his eyes and quickly shook her head, warning him with her eyes.
He better not act recklessly!
She had already been teased by Sam, but she still wanted to maintain her dignity in front of her son.
The two of them stared at each other silently.
Just one passionate kiss away.
"How about..." Sam said, "I close my eyes? Or you guys go outside to kiss?"
Even though he was wearing headphones and couldn't hear what his parents were saying.
But he wasn't blind!
He could see!
Penelope looked up at the sky speechlessly.
