The next day...

"Good morning!" Penny jogged down the stairs, catching Charles and Allison in the living area.

Her parents glanced at her instinctively, only to see that she seemed ready to start her day.

"You're leaving so carly?" Allison asked with furrowed brows.

"Yes. Morning, Daddy!" Penny stood behind the couch where Charles was sitting, bent over to give him a quick back hug, and leaned her cheek against his.

Charles nonchalantly glanced at her, watching as she went to her mother and did the same. "Penny, isn't it too early for you to go? You came home late last night with your mom." "Your daddy is right, Penny" Allison gazed up at her daughter worriedly. "Didn't you say you wouldn't have a lot of work for the first two weeks after your arrival?"

That was what Penny had thought... until she found out she was married.

"Hehe. Well, I want to finish the office preparations as early as possible, and some matters came up," she explained, keeping it vague. "I want to fix the issues as soon as possible." "Do you need help, Penny?" asked Charles.

Penny shook her head. "They're just small matters, so I'm heading out early!"

Having said that, Penny caught sight of Butler Jen coming into the living area with a tray. She jumped in front of him and grabbed three slices of bread.

"Thank you, Butler Jen!" Penny grinned, and just like that, she sprinted out the front door.

At the same time, Atlas was already coming down the stairs. He stopped when he saw Penny running out the front door.

"She's early," he remarked as he resumed his steps, joining his parents in the living area.
