"I'll check it out too," Ruby said awkwardly. "Kids bond so quickly, they just met and are already friends." "I'll go too," Penelope added, exchanging a knowing look with Ruby.
Everyone knew about Sam and Lucy's connection, except Kelvin.
Brandon watched the kids walk away, still anxious. Despite his caution, things went south. The kids met right under Kelvin's nose.
Penelope looked scared and pale, staying silent.

Brandon shot back, "Still thinking about finding Molly?" "Not anymore." "Then drop it," Brandon shrugged. "Why ask so many questions?" At the outdoor bar, Kelvin and Brandon sat facing each other, faint laughter of children in the background.
Kelvin sipped his coffee. "Molly has two kids, right? I only met Sam. Where's the other one?" "I'll say it again. Do you want to find Molly or not? If not, why all the questions?" "must carrias: " Brandon replied, "Molly's hiding from you, and you're still digging. Know when to stop." Kelvin's eyes flickered. "Sthings seem too coincidental. I want to figure it out." "What coincidence? Still think Molly is Penelope?" Brandon decided to be direct. Better to expose Kelvin's thoughts than dodge.
Being straightforward seemed more genuine. Otherwise, Kelvin would figure it out eventually.
Talking to Kelvin felt like walking a tightrope. One wrong step, and he'd fall into an abyss.
Kelvin looked stunned, his lips pressed together.
"The day Penelope returned to LA cleared things up, right?" Brandon smiled. "Still got a thorn in your heart? Why not ask her?" Brandon sipped his coffee, trying to hide his panic, fearing Kelvin might overthink.
Sam and Lucy both had the last nCooper. If Kelvin did a DNA test, all of Penelope's efforts would be wasted. "Brandon," Kelvin's eyes were dark and probing. "I know you have many secrets, but I won't investigate you." If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience-all for free.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss." Being too smart can ruin your happiness. He used to know too much, and it made him miserable.
Now...
Kelvin glanced at the carousel, then at Penelope watching the kids with a gentle smile.
As long as she was there, alive and well, nothing else mattered.
When the carousel stopped, Penelope picked up both kids. She avoided Kelvin's gaze and stood behind a tree, lightly tapping Sam's head. "Naughty boy." Sam hugged her leg. "Mommy, I missed you. I want a hug and a kiss." Lucy chimed in, "Sam, you stole my lines!" Penelope sighed.
"Mommy, I missed you and Lucy so much. That's why I asked Uncle Brandon to bringhere," Sam said. "Don't be mad, okay? Being mad makes you age, and you're the most beautiful little fairy!" "I'm not mad. I'm happy to see you." Penelope squatted down. "It's my fault for leaving you alone." Guilt filled her eyes.

chapter The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Sam noticed. "Oh, I wasn't alone. Ruby was with me. She spoilsmore than you do. She letseat ice cream and watch cartoons. I love staying with Ruby!" Penelope knew he was trying to comfort her.
"It's true," Sam insisted. "Besides, you and Lucy aren't gone forever. After the surgery, we'll be together again!" Penelope's lips moved, but she didn't know what to say. Every day felt uncertain.
"Sam," she said, stroking his head. "I'm not a good mom." "Yes, you are! You're the best mom in the world!" Sam looked at Lucy. "Right?" Lucy nodded. "Yes! You're the best mommy. We love you very much!" Penelope blinked away tears.
"Sam, you should make your own choices. Even though you're young, you're smart and know what you want." Penelope looked at him. "Do you want to stay in LA or go back to the county with Ruby?" "I..." "It's okay, just be honest. Mommy understands and supports your decision." Sam looked serious. "Mommy, LA is great and fun. But it doesn't matter where I live. The most important thing is being with you."
He held her hand. "Mommy, wherever you are, that's home. The county is small but warm because of you. LA is big, but without you, I don't want to stay." Sam's words almost made Penelope cry.
