Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando) novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Patching Up the Lie

"Ms. Stuart, did you lose anything?"

Anika felt slightly worried and subconsciously wanted to help her look for it.

"No. I just found my book out of place."

Hearing this, Anika breathed a sigh of relief and went to cook.

After Penny picked up the gift box and opened it, she saw a delicate jade bracelet. Since it was from Rex, it must be expensive. Out of politeness, she quickly took out her phone to call him.

When Rex answered the call, he coughed and asked, "Penny, how is your dad?"

Rex was kind to her, so she felt guilty at the thought of her lie about giving birth to a baby. She had secretly signed an agreement with Orlando.

"He is much better. Thank you for the gift. It's too valuable."

"I asked Orlando to visit your father, but I don't know if he went there."

Rex wanted Penny to tell him if Orlando had listened to him.

"He went to the hospital to see my father. Orlando is treating me well. Don't worry, Rex."

Hearing this, Rex beamed with joy.

"I'm glad that you like him. Penny, please wear the bracelet tonight. I plan to introduce you to the guests at the banquet. Otherwise, some ignorant people may offend you in the future."

Penny felt so moved that her eyes turned red.

"OK."

"Penny, I hope you and Orlando lead a happy life. And I want to have a great-grandchild."

She subconsciously wanted to call Orlando Mr. Fletcher. Fortunately, she realized the problem quickly and said, "We will work hard. But I was in poor health when I was young, so it may take longer."

After one told a lie, he would need countless lies to patch it up.

"It's OK. I'm not that anxious. I'm glad that you're working on it."

Penny asked a few questions about Rex's health before hanging up. Looking at the bracelet, she felt stressed. It was the same as the gift from Colin's mother because they were both symbols of status.

She raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows before going downstairs to get the dress she would wear tonight. It was a starry sky dress dotted with diamonds. And she knew it worthed a lot at first sight. It seemed Cason had spent much money on her for this banquet.

Penny had not expected to meet her here. Tonight was her birthday party, so she should have been preparing for it now.

"Is it your dog? What's its name? It's so cute!"

Zoey became more excited when Niko jumped up and down around her. And they were having a great time.

Penny found Niko was enthusiastic about all the members of the Fletcher family.

Zoey was playful, so she grabbed Niko's two front legs and jumped. But suddenly, her face became depressed.

"Niko resembles another dog I know. They have similar marks on the foreheads. It is a puppy raised by my cousin. But they sent it away."

Orlando?

Penny raised her eyebrows because Orlando was allergic to dog hair.

"He is Orlando's brother. He was gentle. After he brought the puppy back, he loved it and played with it daily. But they sent it away before he could name it."

Penny had not expected Orlando to have a brother. When she was about to ask about him, Zoey added, "Please don't mention this to Orlando. Eric died young. He was about my age when he passed away."
