291 Too perfect

When Zoren returned to his office, he slowed down and squinted, looking for his grandmother. Not that Old Mrs. Pierson had left her spot. 1)

"Grandma," he called out as he sat down on the couch where Penny had previously been seated. As soon as he did, he caught a faint lingering whiff of the soft scent Penny carried.

"Renren, your wife is so delicate and warm! Don't you upset her, alright?!" Old Mrs. Pierson's voice brought him back from his momentary trance. "I can't believe that despite her insistence, you didn't even let her meet me! She must've been very upset." "I don't think she is..." He trailed off, because Penny didn't even know she had a husband until

recently.

But Old Mrs. Pierson didn't know that.

"Hmph! What do you know?" Old Mrs. Pierson shook her head and sighed dejectedly. "It's a good thing I met her today! If not, you'd be surprised if she just blew up and divorced you!"

"My poor child... you're lucky your wife has stayed this long in the marriage. It seems she's had to listen to you all the time. Old Mrs. Pierson shook her head again and sighed. "I feel so bad for

Zoren's lips parted, but no words came out. For a moment, he could only stare at his grandmother's blurry figure.

"Grandma, do you think I'd make a terrible husband?" he asked out of pure curiosity.

All his life, Old Mrs. Pierson had doted on him. She had never said anything bad about him and was often proud of him for the littlest things. In her eyes, he was perfect in everything-except in health.

"I'm not saying you're a terrible husband, but Renren, you were never with anyone until your wife!" His grandmother intoned, her voice laced with deep worry. "Whether or not it's your intention, you might tend to upset her! She might not say it, because Penelope looks like
