Chapter 586: Healing is a continuous journey

The family chatted over the late dinner, sharing laughter and talking about random stories. Although some of the stories were something Penny had no idea about, she still laughed and enjoyed her time with them. Slater, on the other hand, eventually gave up. He lived by the phrase: if you can't beat them, join them. Thus, he easily blended in with the atmosphere.

"Aha! Penny, are you staying over?" Slater clapped as the servants cleaned up the table. "How about we watch movies tonight? Just like the old times?"

'Old times?' Penny furrowed her brows, looking at them with slight surprise and puzzlement.

Allison let out a shallow sigh. "Slater, you're on vacation, but I'm sure your sister has work tomorrow."

"Your mother is right, Slater," Charles nodded. "Don't be too greedy. It's already nice that she came by tonight because she misses us."

"It's okay!" Penny blurted out, making everyone look in her direction. She smiled awkwardly, biting her tongue as she realized how abrupt she sounded. "Ahem! I mean, it's okay. I don't mind... watching a movie... with everyone...?"

"Why do you sound so uncertain?" Slater snorted but didn't dwell on it. He beamed after a second, casting his parents a look. "She said yes! Let's watch a movie together-I know one that's good and has me in it."

"I'm sorry, but I can't join you tonight," Atlas remarked, watching as the family turned to him. He particularly focused on Penny's expression, smiling subtly. "I'’II just finish some work, but if I can, I'll come down."

"Haines, are you joining us?" Charles asked, not really interested in Atlas's participation. His eldest had a company to run and an entire family to handle.

"Well..." Haines smiled and shrugged. "Sure."

"Nice!" Slater intoned happily before Butler Jen was heard.
