Chapter 570 Don't You Want Lucy to Have a Happy Childhood? Penelope still felt the need to defend Kelvin. "Mr. Davis, Kelvin hasn't done anything wrong to me." "So why are you getting a divorce?" Liam asked.
"The relationship's just broken down," Penelope explained. "We don't love each other anymore. Living together is pointless, and forcing it won't make anyone happy. It's better to split up. It's better for both of us." "You two are being ridiculous! You've cthis far, you even have a kid. Can't you just compromise a little? In life, a couple needs to support and understand each other to make it work," Liam said.
Liam thought they were just having a fight and decided to divorce in a fit of anger. A little persuasion would fix it. "Which couple doesn't fight? Spend a night apart, calm down, and don't take words said in anger to heart, let alone take them seriously. And no matter how much you fight, don't casually mention divorce. It's a big taboo in marriage. Alright, that's enough." Liam waved his hand, "That's it, Kelvin. You're a man. Show sresponsibility and take the first step to apologize. It's no big deal." Kelvin pressed his lips together and didn't move.

"Do I need to hit you? Do you need a cane to make you understand?" Liam threatened, raising the cane in his hand.
Penelope said, "Mr. Davis, we really don't have feelings for each other anymore. It's not a fight or a tantrum. The decision to divorce was made after careful consideration. Kelvin and I take full responsibility for this decision." Seening flatterrerope was serious, Llarms expression decarne everrinore sotérmir. Alter all, he was once the head of the Davis family, and he possessed an air of authority and dignity.
"Responsible? Do you know what the responsibility of marriage is?" Liam asked, "Do you know the impact of parental divorce on a child? Do you know that children from single-parent families grow up under the scrutiny of others?" Penelope gave a bitter smile. Of course, she understood that a healthy, loving, and happy family was a lifelong treasure. Those who are less fortunate may find themselves healing from their childhood for a lifetime. Those who are fortunate may find their childhood a source of healing for a lifetime. But Lucy and Sam had been living in a fatherless environment since birth. They were used to it by now! Liam continued, "For Lucy's sake, you both need to endure. There's no such thing as a life without any conflicts or problems!" Kelvin was about to speak, but Penelope beat him to it, "For Lucy's sake? What does that mean? Because of Lucy, do Kelvin and I have to pretend to be loving and harmonious no matter how bad things get between us?" If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues.

You could remarry as many times as you want; it wouldn't concern me!" Kelvin replied, "Grandpa, even if Penelope and I are no longer married, we will still give Lucy all our love and let her grow up in a happy and healthy environment." "You think Lucy's clueless? She's not dumb. She'll figure it out. Even if you pretend everything's fine, you're not a couple anymore. You'll be living apart, not sharing meals or beds. She'll notice," Liam said.
Penelope wanted to argue, but Liam raised his hand to stop her. "Don't giveany grand theories. At my age, I've seen more than you! Penelope, your parents... You had a good life until you were twenty, so let's leave it at that." Liam took a moment of silence, his gaze shifting to Kelvin. "And you had a stepmother and a half-brother. You know very well what your life was like." Kelvin's mouth turned down slightly, clearly recalling unpleasant memories. Those childhood memories that no one knew about or cared about.
Penelope was stunned. Yes, Kelvin grew up in a blended family. He was aloof, cold, bad-tempered, sullen, and taciturn because he lacked love and care.

Seeing Kelvin's expression, Liam knew he had hit a nerve. "So, Kelvin, you understand better than I do the impact of a healthy original family on a child. You are a Davis. You received more attention than ordinary children. No one dared to look down on you, no one dared to bully you. But if it were an ordinary child, they would be ridiculed by classmates at school, bullied by neighbors at home, and develop an inferiority complex. I'm thinking about the entire Davis family and the healthy growth of the child. I don't want Lucy to go through what you did." Kelvin lowered his eyes, hiding his emotions.
"Moreover, Lucy is a girl. She needs to be happy, confident, and graceful. I want her to be the most cherished little princess in all of LA and to have everything the Davis family has to offer. I believe you think the same. Don't you want Lucy to have the happy childhood you never had?" Liam said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKelvin remained silent. He could argue; he could ignore Liam's words, but he couldn't say it. Kelvin's brows furrowed and relaxed, relaxed and furrowed again.
Penelope suddenly chuckled, "Mr.
Davis, before Lucy cback to LA, she lived in a single-parent household. But look at her, is she 'any different from other children? She's just as happy, just as sensible and well-behaved, just as confident and sunny. She's not inferior to other children. In fact, she's smarter and more clever than most kids from regular families." Not just Lucy, but Sam, too. She had raised both children well. Of course, a family with both a father and a mother would be better, but it wasn't as serious as Liam made it out to be! Were all children from single-parent families miserable?
"You don't understand, Penelope," Kelvin finally said. "You haven't m experienced it, you haven't felt it, and you don't know how much of a shadow it casts on a person's heart." And it lingered, following them for life. Kelvin remembered the days with his stepmother and the grievances he had suffered, which were unspeakable. Because even if he spoke, no one would understand, and no one would care!
