Penny took a moment to recover from overhearing her parents' private conversation. Even at this age-or perhaps even if she became a grandma-she would never be ready to listen to her parents talk so flirtatiously. She shook her head, feeling a bit more dizzy and lightheaded now. "Should I just forget about it?

Penny glanced down at the cat in her arms, who seemed to be urging her to continue their plans. Her lips curved down slightly.

Chunchun purred again, as if telling her it was okay.

"What am I going to do without you?" Penny sighed, hugging her cat because her cat truly had healing properties. "You always make me less sad, Chunchun. Please live a long, long life.

Penny hugged her cat, forgetting she was still under the table. When she realized the cramped space she was in, she held Chunchun with one arm and crawled her way out. Looking left to right, Penny nodded to herself. "Goodnight, Butler Jen-!"

Just when she was halfway out of the table, Penny found herself back under it. She saw Slater's figure jogging up the stairs.

"Hah... I'm so full..." Slater yawned and then burped, walking lazily to his room. She thought Slater would be quick, but then he stopped in front of the table.

Why are you all stopping here?!' she gasped in distress, nervousness and panic swelling in her chest. Looking at the pair of legs before her, she gulped when Slater faced her direction.

"Uh... it's just soup, but..." Slater placed his hand on the table, wincing a little.

Penny stiffened when she heard her third brother fart. Her eyes widened, her complexion paled, and her breathing stopped.
