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

Chapter 997: This is bad

[SKYLINE PLAZA: ZOREN's]

Penny sucked on her inner cheeks, narrowing her eyes at the ceiling. Another long hum escaped her closed lips, and her mind was filled with the image of Zoren slamming the door. She sat up abruptly when she couldn't take it anymore.

"Did he hear me or not?" she asked herself for the umpteenth time. "Or did he mishear me? Is that why he was angry?"

Penny should be resting, but how could she rest when her husband had just slammed the door on her right after she told him she loved him? That wasn't a normal reaction.

"It's not like I would be angry if he didn't say anything back," she grumbled. "But why is he acting angry?"

She then fixed her sharp eyes on Renny and Chunchun. "Say, do you think your father heard what I said?"

Renny kept its head over its paws while Chunchun purred. They didn't move an inch, watching their mother ruffle her hair with both hands.

'Isn't she supposed to be resting to recover?' wondered Renny. 'She doesn't look sick at all.'

'It's probably the last surge of energy before death,' thought Chunchun, yawning nonchalantly because the little white cat couldn't care less. Though Chunchun had worried about Penny last night, seeing Penny now - she wasn't worried anymore.

Chunchun had grown up under Penny's care. Therefore, the cat knew that Penny wouldn't die so easily. Penny would always put up a fight to keep her life, even if it meant going against the entire universe. But it was nice to tease Renny.
