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

Chapter 1832: Just a bump

THUD!

Zoren winced at the crushing weight on him, his back hitting the floor behind the counter. He grunted and clutched the person’s shoulder.

"You—"

"Hehe."

His brows rose, and he opened his eyes at the wicked yet playful giggle that caressed his ears in this gun-infested battleground. His vision was slightly blurry, taking its time to get a clearer look at the face hovering over his.

As soon as he got clarity on who had just jumped on him, his heart clenched. His eyes were wide, almost in disbelief at the person on top of him. The crushing weight was a tell, but somehow, he wanted to be sure.

Did he die just now? Was his mind starting to play tricks on him, of "what could’ve been?"

The corners of her mouth stretched from ear to ear until her teeth were on full display. "Found you."

SMOOCH!

Without a second warning, Penny planted a peck on his lips as if this were the time for some quality time. Then, another kiss on his nose, followed by one on his cheek, until she was just showering him with plenty—PLENTY—more kisses.

On the last one, she grinned and drew her head back.

She didn’t know this, considering she was grinning, beaming. But Zoren just felt his eyes sting, a lump forming in his throat.

"Penny," he breathed out in relief.

"Thought you dead." Her grin stretched, her eyes shining brighter than any explosion. "Got scared for a second."
