301 Thumbs up
“I hope you don’t forget that. Don’t worry too much about your husband. I’ll be fine.”
Perhaps Penny was underestimating him, often prioritizing Zoren’s health above everything else, forgetting the crucial point that he had earned his position through what people called a “bloody” fight. It wasn’t easy for him to get where he was, and keeping it wasn’t easy either.
“Even so, being careful is a must,” she quietly blurted out.
Zoren nodded in understanding. “I will. Don’t worry.”
”
“I’m not worried.”
“I know, don’t worry!
Penny pressed her lips together and shook her head. ‘Never mind.”
Just then, she caught sight of an approaching figure in her peripheral vision. Turning her head, she raised her brows at Butler Hubert.
“Young Master, Young Madam, the Old Madam has finished her regular check–up,” he announced. “She is calling for both of you to join her for tea.”
Zoren nodded. “We’re coming.” He then cast a look at Penny.
“Mhm,” she hummed, trying to get up, only for Renny to place its paw on her leg. “Huh?”
Penny raised her brows. “Bla – I mean, Renny, we have to go inside.”
“Renny isn’t allowed inside,” Zoren informed her. “It’s not safe”
“What?” She frowned and moved closer to her baby. “How is it not safe when she’s been here
before?”
Butler Hubert let out a nervous laugh. “Young Madam, it’s because the servants are wary of Renny, and we’re afraid she might get aggressive.”
“But Zoren is here,” she blurted out, even though she had just told herself not to be stubborn. She mentally scolded herself. “This isn’t your house, Penny! Stop acting as if you need to rescue Blacky! Their reasoning is valid! Don’t think only of yourself!”
“Hehe…” Butler Hubert cast a look at Zoren. ‘Will he listen to his wife? He wouldn’t, right? The last time Renny got inside the mansion, he turned the entire house upside down.”
“We’ll take Renny to the courtyard,” Zoren said calmly but with finality. “It’s near Grandma’s
bedroom.”
“Young Master?” Butler Hubert furrowed his brows. “But the courtyard…”
“Tell Grandma we’ll head to the courtyard first.“.
Penny looked up at Zoren and then at Butler Hubert. Seeing the stern look on Zoren’s face and the confusion on the butler’s, she realized this was good news for her and Renny.
“Hihihi,” she quietly giggled as she lowered her head to whisper to Renny. “Blacky, I think he’s

nose to her check, making her smile in satisfaction. If anyone mistake her for a child given candy, rather than a grown woman.
Once Butler Hubert left, Zoren gazed down at his wife and said, “Miss Penelope, let’s go. The courtyard is a ten–minute walk from here.”
“That long?”
“I can carry you if you’re tired.”
“Haha! No, no, I’m okay Penny waved her hands in shock. “I can walk. I’m just a little surprised
that a ten–minute walk is still within the mansion.”
“Is it that big for you?” His question carried genuine curiosity and innocence, but it felt like a
stab to her.
Why did it sound like the literal translation of his question was: “Are you that poor?”
Penny didn’t reply, instead trying to push herself up. But just as she stretched out her feet, a hand suddenly appeared in front of her. Looking up, all she saw was his smile.
“Let me help you up,” he offered kindly. “Don’t refuse.”
She could have refused, but she felt he might somehow push her down again if she did.
“Thanks,” she muttered, clasping s hand.
For a second, Penny paused as she felt the coldness of his hand. She glanced up at him, but he didn’t seem cold. In fact, he looked a little warm.
Shaking her head, Penny squeezed his hand and pulled herself up. Much to her dismay, when she pulled his hand, she ended up pulling him down!
Thud!
Her eyes widened in horror as she gasped, shock written all over her face. Although hitting her back on the grass didn’t hurt, the weight on top of her froze her on the spot. Fortunately, Zoren was quick enough to use his hand as support and didn’t finish what Renny couldn’t. @
For a moment, neither of them moved, with him on top of her while she lay beneath him.
