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

Chapter 445: What a tease

Penny woke up in pain.

"Ugh..." she groaned, every part of her body aching. She clasped her shoulder, barely able to stretch her limbs without groaning. Her eyes slowly cracked open, deep lines visible on her forehead, and her lips curved down.

This was why Penny hated drinking more than she could handle. She often woke up with sore muscles.

Slowly, she sat up and squinted, looking around at the bedroom she had woken up in.

"Huh?"

whispered, her brows tightening. She quickly realized this wasn't her room, but it wasn't a place she didn't know either. "How in the world..."

Penny trailed off when her eyes landed on the figure emerging from a door, wearing nothing but a bathrobe. His hand was on his head, drying his hair with a small towel.

Zoren stopped when he noticed her staring at him. As soon as their eyes met, he smiled.

"Good morning," he greeted, only to see her gasp in horror.

Penny instinctively pulled the blanket from her lap to her chest. Looking down with wide eyes, she felt a wave of relief. She was dressed, albeit in clothes that clearly weren't hers. After all, she didn't own an oversized shirt like this one.

"Whose...?" she started, freezing as her eyes lifted again to her husband.

For a moment, Penny felt like the world had stopped, only to resume in the snap of a finger. Ignoring her sore muscles, she jumped out of bed and reached Zoren in no time. Standing in front of him, she clasped his shoulders and bobbed her head to examine him.

"Do you... want to see more?" he asked, curious. "I can take off my robe if you're interested."

Zoren flinched when she raised her head and met his eyes.
