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

Chapter 742: How strange

Chapter 742: How strange

"Are you sure you don't want me to drop you off?" Zoren asked as Penny re- entered the house and joined him. He gently placed his hand on her back, almost hugging her. "I have plenty of time to share with you."

Penny smiled, rolling her eyes as she lightly tapped his chest with her fist. "You have a long day, and I have things to do. It's okay. I can go to the office on my own. I'm a big girl."

"I know you are, but it won't hurt to ask." He smiled, cupping her face gently. "I'’II go for my check-up since they'll be asking about that in the family meeting. Let's hope for a good result."

"There will be good results," she grinned. "You're getting better. Look at your complexion-only the blind wouldn't see that you've started to regain some color."

A soft laugh escaped him at Penny's remark. It wasn't just his complexion that had started to brighten, but his life as well. Back then, his only visitor had been his grandmother, and even that was rare since he preferred visiting Old Mrs. Pierson himself.

But now, there were quite a few surprises in his life. Not that he minded; he would welcome her brothers any time. They could even live with them if they wanted. There were so many plenty of spaces for her family.

"You should go," Penny urged with a smile.

"Mhm." Yet, he didn't move an inch.

Penny pursed her lips and hummed. "Renren, are you sure you don't want me at the family meeting?"

"It's not that I don't want you there; I just don't require you to be there," he clarified. "Besides, they'd only bring you up to question the legality of our marriage. But it won't last long. It's not like my marriage is a weakness."

"Goodness, you!"

"So don't worry about it. Don't burden yourself." This time, Zoren held her waist with both hands. "Okay?"

"Yes, yes, I understand," she grinned, letting him cup her face before he leaned in. She smacked her lips as he drew back, smiling brightly after a soft kiss. "I'll call you later."

"Mhm." Zoren planted another soft kiss on her lips, then one on her cheeks, until she giggled, finally giving him a light punch on the chest to stop. "I'll see you later."

"Okay."
