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.

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,
