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

296 Charging toward its prey

Old Mrs. Pierson's chuckles filled the home as she couldn't contain her happiness throughout dinner. Looking at the almost empty table, she nodded approvingly.

"Thank you for the dinner, Grandma, Penny said, modestly wiping her lips with the cloth. "The food was great!"

"I'm glad you liked it. My child, I thought you were joking when you said you're not a picky eater!" Old Mrs. Pierson laughed. "It made me feel that all that time in the kitchen was worth every second!"

Penny chuckled, slightly embarrassed. "I ended up eating more than I was supposed to.

"No, we told you to eat to your heart's content! I'm just glad you liked everything, my child."

"It was... delicious. Penny couldn't help but blush, warming the old woman's heart.

"My little child," Old Mrs. Pierson reached out to Penny. "You are such a precious child. Grandma will try to make you more food and send it to your home."

Penny nodded with a smile until her face stiffened. 'Which house?"

"I'll ask Butler Hubert to check your fridge once a week so I can make you more fresh food.

"Ha ha... thank you, Grandma," Penny kept her smile, but deep inside, she couldn't help but panic.

"Madam" Just then, Butler Hubert approached the table and stood beside the old madam. He bent over slightly and said, "It's time for your medicine and check-up."

Old Mrs. Pierson nodded, then turned her attention back to Penny and Zoren. "My little. daughter, Grandma will just take her medicine and meet with the doctor. While I do, why don't you and your husband take a walk around the house?" "Zoren, take your wife for a walk and show her around," she suggested, this time directing her eyes at her grandson,

"Yes, Grandma." Zoren nodded.

"My little daughter, wait for Grandma, okay? Let's have tea after this."

"Okay, Grandma."

Having said that, Butler Hubert offered his arm to the old madam and assisted her out of the dining room. Penny and Zoren stayed in their seats until Old Mrs. Pierson was out of sight.

"Shall we?" said Zoren as he set his eyes on her. "Come with me. I'll show you around."

Penny wanted to decline, but a night walk didn't seem bad after a heavy dinner. "Mhm."
