From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 543 Have you gotten in Touch with the Real Miss Mitchell? "Hey, guess what?" Sam's voice dropped to a whisper, "Uncle Brandon totally admitted he liked you! So, spill the beans, do you like him back?" Penelope dodged the question, "Hand him his phone back, hit the sack early, and quit being nosy, alright?" "Not until you answer me," Sam insisted.

"Kids shouldn't stick their noses in grown-up stuff," Penelope shot back.

"Ugh, not this again!" Sam groaned, "I hate when you say that!" Kelvin would always say that and then just hang up on him! He was only sticking around because it was Penelope! Plus, Sam was dying to know if Penelope liked Brandon! "Whether you like it or not, that's enough," Penelope tried to look serious, "You got school tomorrow." "Oh, con, don't be like that. After my thorough investigation, from character to looks, height, family background, personality... I, Sam, can confidently say no man beats Uncle Brandon! A good man needs to be fought for. You can't play hard to get! It's modern times now; you gotta be quick, accurate, and ruthless. Strike first! If you keep dragging your feet, Isabella might pull stricks and snatch Uncle Brandon away again! It's drivingnuts!" Sam ranted.

Brandon couldn't take it anymore and snatched his phone back.

"Uncle Brandon!" Sam jumped up, "Give it back; I'm not done talking!" Done talking? If he continued, things would be so awkward between him and Penelope that they'd never see each other again! Brandon knew he fell for Sam's trick again.

He said he missed his mommy but actually used it as an excuse to video call and blatantlyplay matchmaker for Brandon and Penelope! Sam's support was great for Brandon's pursuit of Penelope.

But now wasn't the right time! It wasn't at that stage yet! "Penelope, Sam..." Brandon sighed, "He's just a kid, don't take his words to heart." Penelope was embarrassed too.

She smiled lightly, "It's okay; I know him better than you do." "How've you been lately?" Brandon asked, "Has Isabella been bugging you? Calling you?" "I blocked her number," Penelope said.

"Good," Brandon said, "Isabella's got a bad temper and says nasty stuff, don't let it get to you." "I'm fine, her words can't hurt me. But you..." Penelope trailed off.

Brandon and Isabella had grown up together.

What did he really think deep down? Was it really because he fell for her that he broke up with Isabella? Even though Penelope really disliked Isabella for hanging out with Madison, scheming against her, that was one thing, but teaming up against Lucy? That really ticked Penelope off! But, to be fair, Isabella was really good to Brandon.

She was sweet, thoughtful, ran the house like a pro, and loved Brandon with all her heart, even planning the wedding herself. Brandon didn't have to lift a finger. She was the perfect fiancée.

"Penelope, there's a lot I can't tell you right now," Brandon sighed, "But soon, very soon." Penelope frowned a bit.

She'd heard this from Kelvin too.

Soon.

What the heck did "soon" even mean? Was there something she was missing? Thinking it over, Penelope asked, "Is it because you've found the real Miss Mitchell, and she's willing to cback to the Mitchell family and marry you, so you're rushing to clear things up with Isabella?" Brandon had mentioned the real Miss Mitchell to her.

He said he'd found her.

But she hadn't dug into the details.

Now, thinking about Brandon's actions, it clicked.

Only the return of the real Miss Mitchell would make Brandon dump Isabella and be so cold for the first time. Basically, From the start, Isabella was just a stand-in! A stand-in for the real Miss Mitchell! Brandon replied, "I haven't contacted her yet, let alone know if she'd be with me. But my wife's spot is only for her. Since I know she's alive and where she is, I can't marry Isabella." Penelope couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Mitchell has been missing for over twenty years, but she still has someone who loves and remembers her deeply. She's really lucky." Maybe even the Mitchell parents had given up hope of finding their daughter.

But Brandon kept searching.

"No, having her is my luck," Brandon said.

"She has you, and you have her; it's mutual luck, Mr. Walker, you..." Penelope started.

As she was talking, a pair of men's shoes suddenly appeared in front of her.

She looked up and met Kelvin's intense gaze.

Kelvin said nothing, just stood there quietly.

Brandon's voice cfrom the phone. "Penelope? Penelope? You still there?" Kelvin glanced down at the phone screen, seeing Brandon's clear face.

He guessed right.

She was video-calling Brandon.

Kelvin pointed at the phone, "He's calling you." "Oh, yeah, I'm here," Penelope snapped back to reality.

With Kelvin standing right in front of her, how could she keep video calling e Brandon

Just as Penelope was feeling torn, Sam's voice cthrough "Ibear another man's voice! Who's with you? Who is it? Letsee!" "Uh..." Penelope stammered.

Kelvin spoke calmly, "It's me." Sam went silent for a long time.

It was Kelvin.

Even though he really wanted to set up Penelope and Brandon, GeO M couldn't be too obvious in front of his dad! Sam kept quiet.

"Go on," Kelvin crossed his arms, "Didn't mean to interrupt you." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "beep." The video call was disconnected.

No need to guess. It was Sam who hung up.
