Chapter 1136: Don't make me ask you again

Meanwhile...

Restlessness slowly consumed Penny, making it impossible for her to settle in her seat. She kept massaging her nape, sighing from time to time.

"First Brother and Second Brother already went out to bring them back," Zoren remarked quietly, noticing that his wife had been a bit restless. "Mark is also with them."

"I know," she whispered, snapping her gaze back to him. "But for some reason, I can't seem to shake this feeling."

Zoren nodded, understanding his wife. He, too, had the same feeling that he couldn't shake. Still, someone needed to remain calm between them. He reached for her hand, squeezing it to give her the slight reassurance he could offer.

"They'll be fine," he reassured, nodding at her. "They will be."

Penny pursed her lips and nodded back at him. "They will be... I know that."

With that, the couple turned their attention back to the group, who remained unaware of the two missing people in their midst. Not that they didn't know Slater and Benjamin weren't around, but they didn't think much about it.

Why would they?

Slater and Benjamin were two grown men. It wasn't like they would get lost or anything. They were sure they'd come back soon. They also knew that Hugo, Atlas, and Mark only went out to fetch them because the night was growing deeper, and they were missing the good conversation and laughter they had been sharing.

Penny and Zoren tried their best to remain calm until they saw Mint returning.

"Oh, Minty~!" Lily greeted sweetly as soon as she caught sight of Mint. "Where's Ray?"

But Mint ignored Lily and walked closer. As she neared the bonfire, her eyes scanned each face around. There were a few people missing.

"Where's Benjamin?" she asked, her gaze returning to Lily.

"Uh, I think he left earlier to go to the bathroom," Lily mumbled. "Don't worry, Senior Hugo and Senior Atlas, along with Mark, went to fetch them."
