From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 725 We Can't Be Lovers "Then what you love is my status, notas a person," Penelope sighed softly. "If someone else were born into the Mitchell family and becthe Mitchell family's heiress, you would love her too." Brandon was slightly taken aback, then spoke in disappointment, "Penelope, why do you deny my love like this?" He had held onto this love for so long, it had taken up a quarter of his life.

"I'm just expressing my true feelings. You say you loveand will only marrybecause I am the Mitchell family's heiress, your childhood companion, the person you promised. If someone else had my status, you would love her the sway." Penelope remembered she had also asked Kelvin why he loved her. Although Kelvin wasn't good at expressing emotions and was a man of few words, he did articulate his reasons for loving her.

He said he was moved because of her strength in surviving through desperate times, her determination and refusal to give up, and her courage to be herself. He saw a different attitude towards life in her, which attracted him.

This was Kelvin's answer, and Penelope always remembered it. But now, when she asked Brandon why he loved her, Brandon repeatedly said it was because she was her, the person he promised to marry in childhood.

"We can't go back, Brandon," Penelope sighed. "Fate had it that I got lost from the Mitchell family and went missing for over twenty years. Our bond was broken from that moment." "We can be lifelong friends, even family, but not lovers." She made it clear.

When she first learned about Brandon's love for her, she always dodged and avoided it, not knowing how to face it. Now she realized that avoiding it wasn't the solution.

It was better to make it clear to avoid further misunderstandings. Penelope still needed Brandon as a friend; he was also a crucial person in her life.

"Penelope, you have rejectedtand again," Brandon's eyes were noticeably bloodshot. "You refused my request to spare Isabella. Now, you reject my love." "So much has happened recently, Brandon. I never found the right moment to explain things to you. So today, I'll just make it clear." Brandon asked, "From beginning to end, you still love Kelvin, don't you? Besides him, there's no room for anyone else in your heart." Penelope admitted, "Yes, I love him." "Even though he did so many things to hurt you before? Penelope, have you forgotten why you faked your death by jumping into the sea? Have you forgotten how Kelvin treated you?" "I haven't forgotten..." "No, you have forgotten!" Brandon interrupted her. "Aren't you afraid that Kelvin will hurt you again? Do you want to go through that pain again?" Penelope replied, "Kelvin is not the sKelvin as before. He has changed a lot." Although he was still strong-willed, he cared more about her feelings now. He was still cold and ruthless, but he reserved all his softness for her. Penelope had noticed every bit of Kelvin's changes.

"Indeed, those who are favored don't need to do anything; just standing there, they can receive all the love," Brandon laughed, full of sarcasm and bitterness. "Penelope, I knew it. I knew that once you brought Lucy back to LA, you would never leave again." "You can't bear to leave Kelvin. You love him, and Kelvin won't easily let you go again. You have a child together, you have feelings for each other. He turned gray overnight worrying about you, he vowed never to marry anyone else for you. You've seen all these things!" "But Penelope, even though I guessed you two would reconcile, I still supported you in bringing Lucy back because I wanted Lucy to recover, because I love you. I couldn't bear to see you worried sick about Lucy's condition every day!" "So, when you brought Lucy for treatment, I took it upon myself to bring Sam to LA, let him stay with the Walker family, and go to school here. This way, it would be convenient for you to see him." "But after doing all this, what did I get? Just a 'thank you' from you!" No matter how calm, graceful, and gentle Brandon usually was, he couldn't control his emotions at this moment.

After loving for so long and giving so much, he lost completely, the worst kind of loss! His childhood promise was met with Penelope's "I don't remember." His years of help were met with her "We can't be lovers." Brandon had been waiting, holding onto that sliver of hope. He thought that after doing so much, Penelope would see it, care about it, soften, be moved, and cback to him, fulfilling their childhood promise and becoming his wife.

And the result? Penelope still loved Kelvin. She loved the man who threw her into a mental hospital and ruined her family! Penelope felt a bit at a loss; she had never seen Brandon so out of control.

In her impression, Brandon was always a gentleman, elegant, and always smiling at everyone. But at this moment, he looked very unfamiliar.

"I didn't expect you to love me," Penelope looked at him, her voice very soft and gentle, afraid of further agitating his emotions. "When we met, when you helped me, I was always with Kelvin, as his wife. And you always had an engagement with.

Isabella." "You also toldthat you would marry Isabella and only make her your wife. So, Brandon, I assumed our relationship was that of friends, lifelong friends who support and help each other." Brandon asked, "What about after I broke off the engagement with Isabella? After you found out you were the real heiress? You should have thought that my feelings for you were love!" "Brandon, it was only then that you realized you loved me." "Yes!"

"Too late," Penelope lowered her eyes. "At that time, I didn't know how to tell you and how to start the NO conversation, so I kept delaying, planning to tell you after the Mitchell family matters were settled." She delayed until now, until she had to say it. If she didn't make it clear, Kelvin would think she loved Brandon. And Brandon would think she would leave Kelvin.

Penelope never intended to waver between two men. Her heart and feelings always knew who they belonged to! No need to choose, no need to hesitate!

Brandon sighed deeply, "So, you knew I loved you but didn't respond because you didn't know how to m reject me. thought you were tacitly agreeing, that you were shy." Penelope was speechless. He thought too much!
