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

Chapter 1712: Quadruplets

"I love you."

Three words. Just three. Yet, they were the words Penny and Zoren had agreed not to say for safety reasons. After all, those three words were the only thing that could overwhelm him. Even if people cursed him, he wouldn't even flinch.

Yet, right now, he was saying them without anyone hurting him.

Penny's eyes softened lovingly while the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. "Would it be a death sentence to say them to you?"

"I don't think so," he shook his head, offering her a subtle smile. "But don't say them right now."

"Why?"

"Because I just want you to know my heart," he said, smiling as she reached out to caress his lean cheek. "And that will never change."

Penny nodded in understanding before she carefully retrieved her hand and strode off. As she walked out of the room to get him a glass of water, Zoren followed her figure.

His smile slowly faded as she disappeared from his line of sight.

Zoren bent his knees closer to him, his elbow resting on them. His hands ran through his hair, clasping it as he closed his eyes. He stayed like that until he looked back at the shut door.

"Would you... still love me when I say... I regret nothing?"

All the blood that was spilled, the lives that were lost, and the nonsense of it all.

Would she be fine with all of that?

Deep in his heart, he knew she would be. Penny was like that, after all. Through thick and thin-till death do them part.
