312 Mistress

“When did you get married?”

Penny looked up at him, her mouth falling open. “What?”

“Penny” Hugo’s face darkened, “did you get married without telling us? Or without introducing your husband to us?”

“What? No!” Penny gasped. “I didn’t get married!”

Hugo studied her face with prying eyes before the darkness on his face disappeared. “Oh.”

“Second Brother, what’s going on?” she asked, making him take a step back as she stepped out of

the car.

“Well… this shameless guy last night said he’s your husband,” he summed it up while scratching the back of his head. “So, who is he? And why didn’t you come home last night?”

Penny pursed her lips and asked subtly, “He said he’s my husband?”

“Who’s that shameless guy, Penny? How dare he claim to be your husband?”

Hugo raised an eyebrow. “I see… but why did he answer your call? You two were together?”

“I dropped my phone in his car. I only got it back because he left it at the reception.”

“Oh…”

“Brother Hugo, that friend is really kind and considerate. He was probably just thinking of me and thought that you were bothering me. After all, it was already late.”
