285 Do you want this marriage?

As much as Penny "wanted" to stay with Old Mrs. Pierson, she had to leave. Penny still had other matters to attend to today. Thankfully, Zoren was "kind" enough to excuse her from his grandmother. "Hahaha!" Old Mrs. Pierson laughed heartily, still holding onto Penny's hand.

"I'm sorry, Grandma," Penny smiled apologetically. "As much as I'd love to stay longer with you, I have some prior commitments today."

Old Mrs. Pierson shook her head. "It's alright, my beautiful child. I know you're a woman of your own, and it can't be helped. You've already overstayed because of me."

"Grandma, my wife is really running late now...

"How about you come to the residence later for dinner, hmm?" Old Mrs. Pierson hummed, giving Penny an expectant look. "Don't worry. I live alone, and I'll make sure no one will see or know you, so the two of you can keep trying peacefully." (3) Penny and Zoren were rendered speechless.

"I don't think she can," Zoren spoke gently. "Maybe next time."

However, Old Mrs. Pierson didn't spare her grandson the slightest bit of attention. Instead, her eyes twinkled behind her wrinkles as she waited for Penny's response.

"Can you join us for dinner for Grandma, my pretty daughter?" she hummed again, squeezing Penny's hand.

Penny pursed her lips before she nodded. "Sure, Grandma."

"Great! Do you have any preferences?"

"I eat everything," she giggled. "I have a big appetite - according to my family."

"How is that possible!?" Old Mrs. Pierson gasped. "You look so thin!"

"Hehehe. That's because I work out a lot and run here and there," Penny chuckled as she casually leaned closer to the old madam. "I even feel sorry for myself for slimming down so much."

"Hahaha!" Old Mrs. Pierson laughed louder, patting Penny's hand as if clapping. "Fine, fine. If you say you eat everything, then I'll prepare my best dish."

Penny's eyes softened at the energetic grandmother, and she placed her other hand on the old madam's hand. "Grandma, please don't tire yourself out for me. Anything is fine."
