32 Got my back?

The main reason Penny wanted to see Jessa was because she thought her aunt returned to her bad habits. When Penny was in the Cortez household, Jessa had always had an itch to gamble. But with Penny's activities and contests, her mahjong nights turned from daily to a few times a week to once a

Penny was no longer in the household and nothing could keep Jessa busy any longer. The chances of Jessa going back to her bad habits were high, and that was why she was harassing the Bennets. But Penny realized she might be wrong.

Jessa disliked staying in the kitchen, but these kids were so pitiful if she didn't feed them. Moreover, the three of them appreciate

everything she served them. Hence, she somehow found spending a bit of time in the kitchen quite enjoyable.

"This is so good..." Penny mumbled while chewing and

Seeing her auntie's mild reaction, her stiff shoulders relaxed. Penny was glad she was wrong about Jessa returning to her bad habits. Even so, why was Jessa harassing the Bennets? Butler Jen and Hugo, who were just around the food court, watched this unfold.
