Chapter 228 She Evoked Pity
After Penny finished speaking, the sound of rain could be heard from outside.
Brian had just come out of the kitchen, and upon seeing the rain, he smiled and said, "After this rain, fresh mushrooms will sprout in abundance tonight."
It seemed that Brian genuinely enjoyed the mountains and forests. He walked over to the sofa, sat down, and began talking about the things that can be found in the mountains, instantly dispelling the subtle atmosphere that had just formed.
However, the rain outside grew heavier during this time and gradually turned into a torrential downpour. The visibility dropped suddenly, and everything seemed dark and gloomy.
In such a mountainous area, heavy rain like this was terrifying.
Brian spoke again.
"I'll have the servant prepare a few rooms for you all. Stay here tonight. It's dangerous to drive in this weather. We don't even know if there might be landslides along the road."
After saying that, he specifically looked at Penny.
"Perry, since you're with Orlando, stay as well. I don't trust you driving back in this weather."
Penny had no right to refuse. If she said she wanted to leave, but Orlando chose to stay, she would be left alone to navigate through the deep mountains and forests in the pouring rain.
So, she looked at Orlando.
Orlando rubbed his temple with one hand, feeling somewhat helpless. "Mr. Franco, I'm sorry again to trouble you!"
"What kind of trouble? You've stayed here for a few days before," Brian retorted.
Grace's eyes lit up, and she finally found an opportunity to join the conversation. She quickly spoke up.
"Yeah, yeah! Back then, Orlando was so little, accompanying Rex. Prodale County didn't even have proper roads yet. Rex also came here for a vacation and happened to meet us."
Brian couldn't help but interject, "You always act so recklessly. You should address Orlando as brother instead of directly calling him by his name."
Grace pouted, "If I address him as brother, he will treat me like a child."
