Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

283 Another reason to live! "Zoren Pierson!"

Penny felt as if a bucket of ice had been poured over her the moment she heard that elderly voice. She didn't know who the person was, but she had a strong premonition that this would be bad.

"Oh!" Old Mrs. Pierson clasped her hands, and the anger on her face vanished. She darted her eyes between the two before the wrinkles on her face deepened with a smile. "I see the two of you were having a lovely private moment. Please forgive this old woman. I didn't know my grandson was accommodating his wife today!" (2)

Zoren kept his gaze on the figure by the door. "Miss Penelope," he whispered. "I am... sorry."

Penny's heart sank as soon as she heard his apology. She didn't need to ask what he was apologizing for she already had her guess.

"Hehe." She let out a dry laugh.

"Alright, then! Tell me once you're done!" Old Mrs. Pierson clapped, stomping her cane as she turned to leave.

"Grandma, Zoren called with a sigh. "We're done already. Come in."

Penny gasped and looked at him in disbelief. "Done with what?" she whispered harshly, making him glance up at her.

Then why didn't you add that to the sentence!?" was what she wanted to shout, but seeing the old lady so happy to see her grandson with a woman - she was practically glowing - Penny didn't have the heart to spoil her joy.

Zoren openly explained the situation to his grandmother, and Penny understood why he had resorted to lying. His grandmother, Old Mrs. Pierson, was old older than Butler Jen. Although her clothes and hairstyle were elegant, no amount of beauty products could hide her aging skin. *Please let me go, she grumbled, and at that moment, Żoren carefully released his hold on her waist. "Thank you!"

With that, Penny pushed herself away from him. As soon as she was back on her feet, Zoren also carefully stood up.

"Grandma," he called, approaching the old woman to assist her to a winged chair.
