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

Chapter 599: You'd be safe now... and forever.

According to Nina, the only reason she still didn't let her fiancé touch her was that she wanted to leave something for herself. But Jessa's take on relationships and love was different, which confused Penny. On one hand, Nina's reasoning was valid and reasonable; on the other, Jessa's advice was just as valid.

It was probably different for everyone.

Some might want to hold on to something-whatever it was

because it would be

unfair to give away everything and be left with nothing. But Penny was never like that. She wasn't as practical as Nina or as daring as Jessa.

Be it in this life or in the previous one, Penny had always given her all when it came to love. She had given her all: time, energy, mental and physical health, and even her freedom for the people she loved. If Penny could do that for the undeserving without asking anything in return, what was stopping her from entrusting her all to the very person whose entire world was... her?

Initially, there was a strange uncertainty about confessing the truth behind her life. But eventually, the more she talked, the more naturally everything flowed from her mouth. She told Zoren everything from start to finish.

"I... am not a genius," she muttered, almost laughing to herself, as she had been called a genius ever since she was a child. However, she knew that wasn't the case. Penny excelled in everything because she had an advantage that no one else had.

"I just know... everything before it can even happen," she whispered, lifting her eyes to hold his gaze. "In a way, I feel like I robbed everyone because I got their favor, their love, their admiration because of that."

Another wave of silence echoed in the bathroom, filling the gaps in her voice. The two of them stared at each other. Zoren hadn't spoken a word since she started telling her story, but she knew he was listening to every word, every breath, and every pause.

Now, all that was left was... how would he take it?
