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

Chapter 637: My protector

Penny blinked multiple times, staring at her husband with a blank expression. Zoren's face remained neutral despite just dropping a bombshell on her. It took her a moment to gasp, jumping up on her bean bag, looking at him in disbelief.

"What did you say?" she gasped again. "Finn Davis... is on your side?"

Zoren nodded, blinking ever so tenderly. "I put him in Dean's office."

Zoren nodded. "You were honest about everything," he reasoned. "So I thought it was only right to tell you this. Or was it too early for me to say it?"

"No, no." Penny waved her hand, shaking her head. "Tell me. What's the relationship between the two of you? I mean, I need to know the full context of this."
