Chapter 400 Mr. Spencer, Don't Insult Love!

Penelope's heart suddenly trembled, the heart that had been trying to become tough, couldn't help but become very soft.

It was as if she had been bewitched, with Zackary's words echoing over and over again in her mind.

Penelope, would you hug me, please?

Penelope reached out her hand, but just as she was about to touch Zackary, she recoiled as if stung by a bee.

Couldn't hug!

She could soften her heart for him, she could ache for him, but she could no longer blindly compromise for him.

The pain and unbearable feeling in her heart were beyond her control, but she could control her own actions. She wouldn't allow herself to degrade herself any further.

"Penelope, can you hug me? I'm in pain..."

Zackary's voice continued, he looked as vulnerable as a baby at that moment. He was a typical pale-skinned person, his skin color pure. Seeing him pitifully furrowing his brows made one feel even more unbearable.

How long had it been since he had acted like a child in front of her?

He was two years older than her, but when their affection was at its peak, he loved to act like a child in front of her, whining and acting spoiled, as if by doing so, he could gain more benefits from her.

Lost in a whirlwind of thoughts, Zackary had already gradually moved closer. Penelope suddenly snapped back to reality, quickly crawling away to maintain a relatively distant and cold distance from him.

This heart could die, but it could never fall for him again.

"Mr. Spencer, I had someone come to pick you up."

"Penelope, hold me, I'm in pain..."

Zackary suddenly spread his arms and tightly embraced Penelope into his chest.

After holding her tightly, his expression looked unspeakably content, like a child who had longed for honey for a long time, finally getting the candy he had been yearning for.

He pressed his chin tightly against Penelope's forehead, then slowly let it fall onto her shoulder.

He held her with all his strength, squeezing her until it hurt. It seemed that only by holding her tightly, she would not leave him.

The phone in Penelope's hand suddenly slipped onto the ground. She knew she should have pushed Zackary away, a ruthless man who had handed her over to another man, a faithless man who constantly called her Ethan a fool and a cripple. She couldn't afford to be soft-hearted towards him.

However, her hand seemed to be frozen, she stiffly reached out, but she couldn't touch him at all, let alone push him away.

In the end, I still cherished his gentleness.

"Penelope, don't leave me, never ever leave me..."

Zackary gently touched Penelope's face, "Penelope, don't marry Everett, don't go after Kemp anymore, it hurts me to see you with someone else..."

Zackary clutched his chest tightly, his brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed deeply again, "Penelope, my heart hurts. Penelope, can you please not make me hurt like this?"

At that time, Zackary, with his pure and innocent eyes, didn't have a hint of aggression in him. He didn't resemble a cold and ruthless beast, but rather, he seemed like a lovable little lamb.

"Penelope, I don't care that you lied to me, I don't care that you've been with others, Penelope, come back to me, can we start over?"

"Penelope, I couldn't live without you..."

Saying this, Zackary cupped Penelope's small face with both hands, devout and extremely careful. Then, his lips landed on hers.

It got out of control.

As if bewitched, Penelope couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck. Only when she felt the chill from her body did she suddenly snap back to reality.

What just happened to her, exactly?!

She almost, unbelievably, surrendered under the onslaught of Zackary's sugar-coated bombardment!

Penelope tightened her open clothes, she turned her face, glanced at the brilliant diamond ring on her left ring finger, how could she do this to Everett!

Penelope slapped Zackary hard across the face, then, gathering all her strength, she forcefully pushed him away.

Penelope didn't have much strength at the moment, but she was still much better than Zackary, who was burning with fever and in a daze.

Seeing Zackary heavily hit the corner of the table, a flash of pain quickly passed through Penelope's eyes. Subconsciously, she wanted to reach out and grab him, but in the end, she didn't extend her hand towards him.

The man and woman who had broken up, their recent hug and kiss, had already crossed the line. She wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Zackary's fever was getting worse and worse. His eyes were tightly shut as he collapsed onto the ground in pain, his head shaking slightly, looking pitiful as if he couldn't find his way home.

"Penelope...."

By now, he had forgotten what day it was, where he was. All he wanted was to find his Penelope, never to be separated again, whether in heaven or on earth.

He reached out his hand, desperately trying to grasp something, but he couldn't catch anything.

"Mr. Spencer, why bother!"

Penelope sighed softly, why did he have to show such deep affection in front of her when he clearly despised her and would have loved to grind her into dust for Lola!

"Mr. Spencer, we, we've been over for a long time. Whether as a married couple, lovers, or even as paramours, it's all over between us. Mr. Spencer, in the future, please don't show this affectionate demeanor in front of me anymore."

"I was extremely flustered."

Penelope wanted to stand up and throw Zackary out directly, but he just happened to grab her foot. She kicked hard several times, but she couldn't keep distance from him.

Unable to shake him off, Penelope could only speak in annoyance, "Mr. Spencer, please let me go!"

"Penelope, don't let go, I won't let go..."

Zackary steadied himself, ready to embrace Penelope again.

Penelope frowned, she didn't want to be held by him again, but her feet were not free. Her body, already weak, didn't want to be held by him. This action was indeed full of challenge.

"Mr. Spencer, please wake up! We now, we all have our own lives, what do you call this now?!"

"Penelope, I loved you, I couldn't lose you..."

Loved...

Penelope's heart began to tremble uncontrollably again. In fact, she loved him too.

Okay, the hurt was too deep, too deep, I dare not anymore.

Once in love, the pain was hysterical. It was better to close one's heart directly and pretend not to love. In that way, even if a heart was bleeding, it wouldn't hurt so much anymore.

"Mr. Spencer, you didn't love me."

Love is trust and tolerance. He never had these two virtues towards her. What love is he talking about!

"Mr. Spencer, please don't tell me you love me anymore. Doing so makes me feel that love is cheap. Don't insult love for no reason!"

"Who said I didn't love you!"

Zackary, like a misunderstood child, eagerly defended himself, "Penelope, I love you! Only you!"

"Penelope, I apologize to you, I won't call Ethan a stupid cripple anymore, Penelope, can you give me one last chance, please?"
