Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 306

Even though Susan still had her reservations about Penny, the sincere and heartfelt apology appeared to close the chapter on the issue, at least outwardly.

Lately, Susan had resumed some work she could do from home, but she was mostly pushed to rest.

Judith, Eason, and Penny came over every other day.

Judith found ways to cook various delicacies for Susan, and her culinary skills visibly improved by leaps

and bounds.

Eason went above and beyond to collect all sorts of unique items for Susan, all in an effort to keep her

entertained.

Penny did even more.

After that day, she truly lived up to her promise, showing her remorse through her actions.

She didn’t just help Judith whip up an array of gourmet dishes; she was also constantly sweet–talking Susan, quick to offer her a glass of water with a glance or hand her some candy with a gesture.

Her attentiveness was so on point; it was as if she knew Susan’s desires like the back of her hand.

That evening, Susan talked to Ben about Penny, her face showing a mix of emotions.

“I swear, Penny’s practically reading my mind these days. She’s one step ahead on everything, taking care of stuff before I even think to do it. Lately, I haven’t had to lift a finger, not even to grab a cup.”

Penny’s actions had left Susan somewhat embarrassed.

However, every time she suggested Penny take it easy, Penny would insist that she was making amends.

Susan was at a loss for what to do.

Ben quirked an eyebrow, “It’s normal.”
