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

Chapter 522: We will

"I got us married...?"

If Penny and Zoren hadn't reached this point in their relationship, or if they had found out about it much earlier, it could have been a breaking point for any connection they had. Given their backgrounds, it wouldn't be surprising if this revelation became the catalyst for a long-standing distrust Zoren might hold against her.

"Oh, my god..." Penny scoffed, her hand trembling slightly. 'I did marry a handsome guy-but I didn't mean someone on the brink of death!'

Penny didn't like to linger on her previous life anymore, especially her time in prison. However, with this new information, she couldn't help but recall a memory -one of her and Grace talking about Penny dating a guy. That ridiculous conversation she had with Grace in her previous life.

Penny pressed her lips together as she helplessly looked up at the man across from her. "How did you know all of these details, though?" she asked, since the files only confirmed their location, Penny's presence in the ward, and the stand- ins who officiated the wedding.

"You told me," Zoren shrugged. "You told me the night you snuck in here, drunk."

Although his voice was calm and forgiving, without a trace of mockery, it stirred a bubble of shame in her heart.

"I remembered? All of it?" she asked, and he nodded. "All this time, I knew how I got married?"

"When you're drunk... that's what I believe."

She gasped, scoffing at the sheer absurdity. Penny glanced down at the file again before pinching the bridge of her nose.

"I think I'm starting to get it now," she muttered. "So, in other words, I forget everything once I'm sober? But when I drink, I remember all the things I did every time I was drunk?"

Zoren nodded before she asked, "Should I see a psychiatrist?"
