The Bennet family rushed to the front door to welcome Penny back, and perhaps, to see if she was fine. However, Butler Jen stood in front to block them.

“Butler Jen, what are you doing?” Slater asked in disbelief. “Isn’t that Penny?”

“Butler Jen, why are you holding the door closed? We’re just going to check,” Charles added, confused.

Charles and his sons looked at the elderly butler, who returned their confusion with a smile.

“Sir Charles and Young Masters, I know you are worried about Miss Penny. However, since it took them this long to arrive, I am sure they had a good day,” explained Butler Jen. “It would be better if, as much as possible, none of us here ruins that.”

Their faces relaxed a little upon hearing Butler Jen’s remarks, and they backed off. Butler Jen smiled in satisfaction.

“However, I think it’s fine to take a peek. After all, I am also curious about how it went.”

Having said that, everyone looked at each other before Charles reached out for the knob. He carefully pulled it open, peeking through the small gap. His sons also walked closer, peeking through the same gap.

As for Butler Jen, he simply chuckled and walked over to the nearby window to take a peek. \*\*\*

Zoren smiled and nodded amicably. “The feeling is mutual, Penelope. I’m glad I mustered enough courage to invite you.”

The two of them stared at each other without even mentioning when their next date would be. “Very well.” After another moment, Penny broke the silence. “It’s a little late, so I’m sure my family is worried.

“I’ll walk you out.”
