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

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.

Halfway through the meal, there were more talks than eating as if they were stalling.
