Chapter 1341: Get married soon

Grace was so shocked by this turn of events that she could only watch as Penny and Atlas wheeled Haines inside her place. With Penny holding Haines' ankles and Atlas gripping his wrists, they carefully tossed him onto her bed.

"..." Grace opened and closed her mouth, darting her eyes between Penny and Atlas. "Penny, I can understand you doing something like this. After all, I've always known you'd do something crazy one of these days. But you..."

She trailed off, her eyes landing on Atlas. "Are you out of your mind? Why would you let your little sister do this?"

"My sister is going to jail if I don't help her," Atlas said coldly, casting Grace an indifferent look. "And from what I heard, you've been claiming to be his wife. So, really, this is a win for all of us."

"Hah!"

"Grace!" Penny skipped forward and placed her hands on Grace's shoulders, nodding at her encouragingly. "Uncle Haines is going to kill me once he wakes up, no matter what. So please, just talk to your husband and convince him to show mercy to his dear niece and nephew!"

She squeezed Grace's shoulders, beaming. "I'm counting on you!"

"???" Grace blinked rapidly, watching as Atlas pushed the trolley away while Penny practically skipped out of the room. "Wait!"

She followed the siblings to the entryway, her voice rising with panic. "Penny, you can't just leave your uncle here!"

"If you're worried he'll lash out at you, he won't," Atlas snapped, his tone as detached as ever. "And if you're wondering what to do with him, try getting pregnant. I doubt he'd be angry at a pregnant woman."

"...What?"

"He's drunk. Don't mind him." Penny giggled, blocking Grace's view of Atlas. "Grace, don't worry. He won't get mad. Just let him sleep here for the night, okay?"

Penny then grinned and hugged Grace. "Thanks, Auntie! Having an auntie is the best! Please get married soon!"
