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

307 It's her husband

Last night...

"Ugh..." Zoren clenched his teeth as he carried Penny in his arms.

'She... she's heavy,' he thought.

From what he could tell, she didn't seem that big. Confidently, he carried her to his house, though he should've just swallowed his pride and asked someone else to do it.

Fortunately, Zoren managed to reach his bedroom before his arms could give in. The moment he saw the bed, a surge of energy coursed through every fiber of his body, giving him the strength to hurry. When he was close enough, he simply tossed her onto the bed.

"Hah..." Zoren rested his hand on the edge of the bed, panting for air, relieved that he managed. Snapping his eyes up to her, another shallow breath escaped him.

"She hurts my pride," he whispered and sat on the edge of the bed, loosening his tie to breathe. "I should work out more now." 2

Ever since his health deteriorated, Zoren had to stop most activities that could strain his body. Although he still exercised, it was mild, just enough to maintain good blood circulation. Other than that, he couldn't train anymore. Another deep breath escaped him as he reclined a little, his palms resting on the soft mattress. He wanted to leave as soon as possible, but carrying her from the car all the way to the bedroom had drained every last bit of his energy. Glancing back over his shoulder, his lips drew into a thin line. "She didn't even drink... what a heavy sleeper. He took another deep breath and pushed himself up. But just as he did, he heard. her mumbling. 1

"Hmm?" Zoren looked back at her once again, furrowing his brows.

Penny was sleeping in such an awkward position on the bed: she was lying on her stomach, her right leg sprawled out. Even though he couldn't see her sleeping face properly, he could tell she seemed comfortable sleeping on another person's bed. 'She's probably too tired,' he thought before suddenly going completely quiet, his eyes on her. T want to doubt you, but why can't I?"

She didn't need to do anything for him, honestly,

This marriage was something she didn't know about, and divorce was the only thing she wanted. from him. However, Zoren got himself into trouble when he tried to use this marriage to appease his grandmother.
