Chapter 643: A family visitor

Meanwhile, in the Bennet Mansion...

"Haha..." Penny chuckled as the family gathered in the dining area for dinner. Allison prepared a feast for everyone, especially focusing on Zoren's palate since it was his first night staying over. She wanted him to feel welcome.

Thankfully, everyone was cooperating except for Slater, of course. But that was the least of everyone's worries, as the mood in the dining room was light and warm. Everyone was smiling and laughing, discussing any light topic.

"Wow..." Slater's eyes twinkled as he watched the servants serve dessert. "Mom, did Aunt Jessa prepare this?"

Allison smirked, casting Zoren a knowing look. "It's not Jessa. She was busy looking after Nina."

"Did you make it?" Slater snapped his eyes up at his mother, curiosity swirling in

his gaze.

"Chef Skylar made it," Hugo answered with a shrug, tipping his head in Zoren's direction. "He ordered a lot of them while Chef Skylar was in the country." — to appease his wife, though Hugo kept that detail to himself.

After all, Charles was here, and he was afraid he would berate Zoren for the reason that had angered Penny. Hugo would rather maintain the good mood.

"He did all of this?" Slater furrowed his brows, looking skeptical. He squinted at Zoren suspiciously. "Are you sure you're not lying? Chef Skylar's puddings are the best, but he doesn't make them in bulk. That's what makes them special."

Zoren smiled at his third brother and casually said, "I bribed him."
