CHAPTER 381



381 What’s on his mind? Penny.

[Skyline Plaza: Zoren’s]

Penny and Old Mrs. Pierson chatted happily, with Penny having to fake her laughter every time Zoren would throw in an unnecessary comment. Only one hour into this relationship, and he was bold enough to hold a red flag on a stick!

“Then I will visit you every once in a while!” Old Mrs. Pierson intoned, tapping Penny’s hand. “Although next time, I’ll do it in the evening since your mornings are busy.”

“No, Grandma. You need exercise as well,” Zoren encouraged calmly. “Having a morning walk here is fine.”

Penny glared daggers at him, but his slight blindness was protecting him. ‘Renren! Do you want me to get killed?!”

“Hahaha!” Old Mrs. Pierson laughed, as it seemed she now had more on her schedule other than just her medications. “Very well, then. I’ll arrange it.”

Zoren smiled in satisfaction, casting Penny a proud look. Penny, on the other hand, was rendered speechless.

Goodness!‘ she scoffed. Why did he look so proud, as if I have to praise him? Did he genuinely believe he had done me a huge favor?”

As Old Mrs. Pierson’s giddy laughter subsided, she cast Penny and Zoren a solemn look. “Anyway, as I was talking about with Butler Hubert, I think it’s about time the families meet,” she proposed. “Although I understand your reasons for keeping your marriage hidden, it is not good if I don’t know my in–laws.”

After all, Old Mrs. Pierson believed that if Zoren needed a strong ally, that would be Penny’s family. In case there was a misunderstanding between the couple, her family would root for him and persuade her.

This marriage needed to be strong, and what else could glue this marriage better than family

ties?

“About that…” Zoren trailed off while Penny held her breath, about to speak ahead of him before he could say something troublesome again. But before she could, he continued, “… there are still some matters that need to be done. However, I’ll let you know once we are able to arrange a meeting with the family.”

Penny furrowed her brows, looking at Zoren with slight surprise. After stirring trouble for her, she was expecting him to go all out. However, it seemed she judged too quickly. Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Pierson frowned.

“How is this not the priority right now, Zoren Pierson?” Old Mrs. Pierson expressed her dismay. “Your in–laws are the most important. Don’t stay idle and make sure they’re pleased with you. They might think our family is being rude for delaying this.”

“I’m on it.” Zoren nodded, casting Penny a knowing look. I’ll make sure they’ll be pleased.

381 What’s on his mind? Penny

Penny narrowed her eyes suspiciously, unsure of what was going on in his mind right now. However, if this was enough to stop the family meeting, then she was okay with it. After all, she didn’t think the Bennet family was ready to know that she was married.

Old Mrs. Pierson idled with them for another thirty minutes, chatting with Penny once again about anything. Penny, who got rid of any unnecessary thoughts, indulged the old madam. When Old Mrs. Pierson noticed the time, she finally bid them farewell.

Standing at the entrance door, the couple followed Old Mrs. Pierson with a smile.

“You don’t have to send me off,” Old Mrs. Pierson waved dismissively. “Just start your day, and I’m strong enough to live for the next twenty years.”

Penny smiled subtly. “It’s okay, Grandma.”

“Young Madam, please, you don’t have to,” Butler Hubert stepped in humbly, smiling at her while assisting the old madam. “We’ve already used up all your morning. Therefore, you do not have to send us.

He then winked at her. “Just use the rest of your morning however you like.”

Penny’s face twitched, and she opened her mouth to correct him. They’d already kissed earlier, so she didn’t think there would be another one for today. However, Zoren swiftly spread his arm across her shoulders and pulled her to his side.

“Thank you, Butler Hubert,” Zoren expressed with a smile. “Please take care of Grandma on the way.”

“Of course, Young Master.” Butler Hubert then cast Old Mrs. Pierson a knowing look. “Old Madam?”

Old Mrs. Pierson chuckled, holding Butler Hubert’s arm as they went out of the residence. Penny and Zoren sent them off with smiles on their faces, his arm still sprawled across her shoulders.

“Take care, Grandma,” Penny waved with a smile before she noticed Zoren reach for the doorknob. He leaned over a little until his face was right next to her, closing the door in front of them without letting her shoulders go.

The second the door clicked, her heart suddenly drummed against her chest once more. Now that they were alone again and the silence of the house quickly reigned, she felt… in danger.

And she was correct.

Because the second Zoren closed the door, his eyes glinted dangerously. Turning his head to her, his hand on the knob carefully reached for her jaw, gulding her head to look at him. Without a word, he leaned his face in and claimed her lips. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“!!!” Penny’s eyes dilated, a little shocked that this was what he would do the moment his grandmother left. Was this the reason he had been hinting at his grandmother to go on her way?“Mhm!” she let out a protesting moan, carefully turning around with her lips locked with his. “Wait-!

Penny gasped, standing on her toes in surprised when he squeezed her hips. She had her eyes forcibly closed, feeling his hand roam around her body excitedly until his palm settled on her lower spine.

Hypnotized, Penny felt her entire body succumbing to the excited heat wrapping around her, her soul kneeling to his unspoken demands and slowly giving in to the screams of her own heart.

“Renren,” she whispered into his mouth, breathless. “I-”

The rest of her words rolled back into her throat as his lips met hers again. Penny felt like melting into him; his touch on her back, on her hips, and then on her thigh felt so enthralling that she wanted to be touched more… without all the fabrics on her.
