Chapter 494 Having Mom and Dad, How Wonderful...

Upon hearing Dalton's words, a tear from Penelope's eyes dropped onto the back of her hand with a plop.

Dad...

He was willing to acknowledge her as his daughter.

Dalton had hurt Lola time and time again for Penelope, which truly saddened her. She felt resentment, but she did not hate him.

It was he and Chelsea who gave her life, how could children truly resent their parents!

"Penelope, don't cry..."

Seeing Penelope shed tears, Chelsea's heart ached terribly. She glared at Dalton angrily, then turned her face to Penelope and said, "Penelope, your dad is blind. I know you're angry with him, let's ignore him! Penelope, don't worry, now that mom is awake, I will never let anyone bully you again!"

"Mom..."

Penelope's voice choked as she began to speak. Hearing her cry, Chelsea stiffened, then her face was filled with joy, but tears rolled down her cheeks in large drops. She hugged her tightly, letting her tears flow freely.

"Penelope, you called me mom! You finally accepted me as your mom, I'm so happy!"

Dalton, like a telephone pole, stood dumbfounded in place, inexplicably feeling a bit heartbroken. He actually also wanted to be called 'Dad'.

However, thinking of the good things he had done for Penelope, he really didn't have the face to let her call him "Dad".

Dalton laughed at himself mockingly, turning his face away in loneliness. Just as he was about to give the mother and daughter some space, he heard Penelope's voice again.

She called him, "Daddy..."

Dalton's eyes welled up with tears, he, a tough guy who would bleed but not cry, surprisingly couldn't hold back his tears and they rolled down his cheeks.

"Penelope, I'm sorry, Daddy..."

Dalton had already apologized to Penelope, but what he had done in the past was truly unforgivable. Besides continuing to apologize, he really didn't know what else he could say to her with a straight face.

However, before he could finish his apology, Penelope had already spoken softly, "Dad, it's all in the past."

What she knew was that her father would hurt her, simply because he was convinced that Lola was his daughter.

He just wanted to protect his daughter.

Everyone is more or less defensive, she didn't blame him for that.

"Penelope, I'm sorry, Daddy will protect you better in the future."

After hearing Penelope's words, Dalton felt even more guilty.

Look, the child he had with Chelsea was so good, so sensible, so kind, and so forgiving, but what about him?

He only believed Lola's side of the story, treating her like a snake and a scorpion. He must have had a hole in his head to prefer believing a stranger with ill intentions over his own beloved daughter.

"Dalton, you don't have to play the good guy here now! I will never forget how you bullied my Penelope! From today on, we're sleeping in separate rooms!" Chelsea looked at the scars on Penelope's palm and wrist, and she still couldn't bring herself to be nice to Dalton.

Upon hearing Chelsea's words, Dalton's face turned pale, "Chelsea, I was wrong, I was really wrong! I will kneel on the keyboard and kneel before the durian tonight, can you please not ignore me?"

Penelope stealthily glanced at Dalton and Chelsea. Dalton's face was full of anxiety, fearing he would truly be despised. Although Chelsea's face was filled with anger, when she looked at him, her eyes were full of love.

They truly loved each other.

Watching the love surge in front of her, unintentionally catching a warm glance from her parents, Penelope's heart was also filled with warmth.

This was her mom and dad!

They were really different from Isaiah Sullivan and Myra.

From childhood to adulthood, Isaiah Sullivan and Myra were completely different from her and Lola.

Grandma truly loved her, but as grandma was getting old, there were many things she could no longer control. All she could do was to secretly treat her well.

She was more like a servant in the Sullivan family, while Lola was the darling held in the palm of their parents' hands.

Back then, she kept thinking, it must be because she was the elder sister, and she should give way to her younger sister, that their parents were so partial.

Later, she found out that Lola was a child of the Hilliard family. She thought then, the parents of the Sullivan family should be able to pay more attention to her now.

But the mother she recognized, Myra, surprisingly set her up to protect Lola, making everyone believe she was the culprit who ruined Chelsea.

During that period, she truly fell into severe self-doubt.

She couldn't understand why the parents of the Sullivan family would detest her, their daughter, so much. Clearly, she had always been trying hard to be a better daughter for them.

She thought it was because she wasn't good enough, because she was too unlikable, that her parents despised her so much. Later, she finally understood that it wasn't the case.

They didn't love her, simply because, they had known all along that she was not their biological daughter.

Just, having a dog for a long time, feelings will develop. How could the Sullivan family's parents be so cruel, letting her be the scapegoat for Lola!

Now, recalling all the past, remembering the injustices she had experienced from childhood, there was still a faint pain in her heart. However, it was much, much lighter than it was at the beginning.

In the future, there would be people who truly loved her, her real parents, Dalton and Chelsea.

"Mom, don't be mad at dad anymore. He used to bother me because he didn't know the truth."

Penelope was so understanding, so magnanimous, that it only made Chelsea angrier. She shot Dalton a disgusted look, "Dalton, for Penelope's sake, I won't settle scores with you now, but in the future..."

Before Chelsea could finish her sentence, Dalton eagerly pledged his loyalty, "Chelsea, I will never make a mistake again! Whatever you say, I will do! Even if you ask me to eat feces, I won't hesitate at all!"

Chelsea burst out laughing, "Who cares if he goes to eat shit!"

Seeing Chelsea finally smile, a faint joy also welled up in Dalton's deep blue eyes. His wife was no longer angry, he was so happy!

Seeing Dalton's sycophantic behavior, Lyman silently covered his face.

Really, it was unbearable to watch!

Who would have thought that Mr. Hilliard, who never showed his emotions and was arrogant and cold in public, would completely disregard his dignity behind the scenes just to please his wife!

Cornelia, who was used to seeing the affection between Chelsea and Dalton, found his words no longer surprising.

Cornelia had just asked Dalton's assistant about today's events. He was going to take action against Penelope today because she had seriously injured Lola.

Cornelia always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. She looked at Penelope with concern and asked, "Penelope, what exactly happened today? How did you end up hurting Lola?"

"Penelope surely couldn't have intentionally hurt Lola's poisonous bug!" Before Penelope could speak, Lyman had already bellowed angrily, "It must be that poisonous bug causing trouble again, deliberately provoking our Penelope!"

"Lola bullied Ethan."

Thinking of the scenes in the video, Penelope's heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe. She took a while to calm down before she found her voice again, "She showed me some videos. In the videos, Ethan was standing on the edge of the rooftop. I don't know if he jumped or not."

"There was another video, Ethan was unconscious, she held a long needle and ruthlessly jabbed it into his body, she also held a knife in her hand, she wanted my Ethan to be worse than dead!"
