“When are you planning to have children?”
“Where did you spend your honeymoon?”
“How many children do you want?”
“How did the two of you meet?”
“Do you prefer a boy or a girl?”
These were the kinds of questions Penny never imagined she would have to face in her lifetime. Even in her first life, no one had ever asked her these questions. But now, she had to face all of
them with a smile.
“When are you planning to have children?
‘We haven’t discussed that yet,‘ Penny wanted to say, but Zoren spoke up first,
“We’re trying” Zoren answered flatly. 3
“Where did you spend your honeymoon?”
‘Well, we chose Japan…”
“Every time we’re together. Again, he answered right away.
“I see. So how many children do you want?”
Like I said, we haven’t discussed…
“Quadruplets. Less hassle.” Once again, Penny didn’t get a chance to respond. 6
“How did the two of you meet?”
‘In Japan, while I was at the museum…”
“Fate brought us together.”
“Do you prefer a boy or a girl?”
“Doesn’t matter if they are four. Both genders will be in the mix… maybe.”
Penny was horrified!
All the questions were directed at her, but the answers were coming from the other side! But that wasn’t the reason she was flustered it was because his answers were too… vulgar!
Quadruplets?! Honeymoon every time they were together?
Was he actually a player?!
“Tsk.” Old Mrs. Pierson clicked her tongue and glanced at her grandson, who had been answering all the questions for Penny.
“Grandma, Penny is a shy person. These types of questions fluster her because they’re too
<
direct,” he explained, not considering that his answers flustered her more than the usual
questions adults ask newlyweds.
“Oh! Haha!” Old Mrs. Pierson let out a chuckle. “No wonder her face is so red!”
“Is it?” Zoren tilted his head, curious.
Penny, on the other hand, held her breath and forced a smile. “Grandma… haha. My darling is a
little too direct, so I’m a bit uncomfortable.
“Hahaha! Right, right! We women just want to show that side to our spouses!”
“The only side I want to show him right now is my wrath!” she mentally cried out.
The corner of Zoren’s lips curled up in amusement, sensing Penny’s distress at the situation. He shouldn’t be smiling at this moment, but he couldn’t help it.
‘It’s been a while since I heard Grandma’s voice this lively and energetic,‘ he thought, his blurry. eyes softening at the sound around him. I feel… warm.‘
“Oh, my little daughter’s child.” Old Mrs. Pierson happily held Penny’s hand and patted it. “It’s alright, child. Forgive Grandma for making you shy. I’m simply happy and excited about this meeting. If I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t have met you because that boy is too territorial at
times.”
Her smile softened as she nodded approvingly at Penny. “Had I known about your marriage, I wouldn’t have worried so much. But then again, I don’t blame you for choosing to keep it
private.”
“Grandma…” Penny sighed helplessly, feeling a little sorry for deceiving this wonderful woman. “I’m… sorry.”
“It’s alright. You don’t have to apologize, child. Old Mrs. Pierson shook her head. “I’m just glad we’ve met, and that someone is truly on my grandson’s side now. He is many things, and he can be a bit of a troublemaker, but he’s a kind man. I’m not just saying this because he’s my grandson; I just know he’s a good man.” ©)
Penny’s smile faltered slightly as she glanced at Zoren. “I know, Grandma,” she said, turning her
eyes
back to Old Mrs. Pierson. “My husband is a fair man.”
The two women smiled at each other, while Zoren fixed his gaze on Penny.
