Chapter 663: Learn from my mistake

Meanwhile, Penny stood on the balcony, hugging herself in her silk robe, her eyes on the almost ruined garden where Nathaniel had been slaving away for the past week.

"Tell me right now," she whispered, her eyelids drooping. "Am I doing the wrong thing?"

Standing by the entrance was Zoren, still in his suit as if he had come to her as soon as he arrived. He leaned against the jamb, his arms folded across his chest. "What made you think that you're doing the wrong thing?" he asked.

Penny didn't answer immediately, staring in the same direction with the same look on her face. "Nathaniel betrayed me in the past," she whispered. "However, even with that, I'm going to let him into my life and my people's lives. I know what he is capable of, so... I'm not really sure if this is going to work."

"It will work," he reassured her without a second hesitation, peeling himself away from the jamb to approach her. Zoren carefully wrapped his arm around her frame, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Penny glanced at him and smiled subtly. "How are you so sure that it will work?"

"Because it's you." He smiled back, giving her a knowing and confident look. "It's you, so I know it will work."

"You're too confident in me."

"I wouldn't be worthy to be your husband if I didn't believe in my wife." He snapped his eyes away, gazing at the pits in the garden that ruined its beauty. "Considering how you've been able to forgive and give people the second chances they didn't even deserve, I'm sure everything's going to work."

Chuckling, Penny leaned back until her body rested against him. For a moment, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the night breeze in the company of the man who made her heart warm.

"The board meeting," she whispered after a moment of silence, reopening her eyes slowly. "It's tomorrow."
