Chapter 589: Night night

[Skyline Plaza: Zoren's Place]

Zoren and Hugo sat quietly in the living area. They had been there for over two hours, but they hadn't said a word until now. Every once in a while, Hugo would cast Zoren a look, but the latter was just staring at the centerpiece between them.

"Brother Atlas told me Penny was there," Hugo broke the silence with the obvious, but Zoren still didn't look away.

"I know. He called."

Hugo leaned back, spreading his legs and stretching them. "I guess she'd stay over there."

"She won't."

"How are you so sure about that?"

"She said she'd come back." This time, Zoren slowly lifted his eyes to his brother- in-law. "I believe in her."

Hugo scrunched up his nose a bit, amused at Zoren's faith in Penny. Not that Hugo didn't believe in his sister, but he wasn't so sure when she was drunk.

"Second Brother, if you're sleepy, then you may go to bed. I'll wait for her alone," Zoren suggested. "I'll let you know once she's back."

"It's alright. I've already waited, so I might as well wait a bit longer." Hugo waved dismissively. "Besides, when I'm on the field, I barely sleep. Moreover, I don't think I'd be able to rest, knowing my sister is out there drunk."

"Even if Penny, in a drunken state, has a clear mind."

"Clear?" Hugo cast Zoren a look, his brow arched. "You think that's clear?"

"It's confusing, but I believe there's a reason. Do you not believe it?"
