Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 334

334 I know you can, but let me. 

The Bennet family rushed to the front door to welcome Penny back, and perhaps, to see if she was fine. However, Butler Jen stood in front to block them. 

“Butler Jen, what are you doing?” Slater asked in disbelief. “Isn’t that Penny?” 

“Butler Jen, why are you holding the door closed? We’re just going to check,” Charles added, confused. 

Charles and his sons looked at the elderly butler, who returned their confusion with a smile. 

“Sir Charles and Young Masters, I know you are worried about Miss Penny. However, since it took them this long to arrive, I am sure they had a good day,” explained Butler Jen. “It would be better if, as much as possible, none of us here ruins that.” 

Their faces relaxed a little upon hearing Butler Jen’s remarks, and they backed off. Butler Jen smiled in satisfaction. 

“However, I think it’s fine to take a peek. After all, I am also curious about how it went.” 

Having said that, everyone looked at each other before Charles reached out for the knob. He carefully pulled it open, peeking through the small gap. His sons also walked closer, peeking through the same gap. 

As for Butler Jen, he simply chuckled and walked over to the nearby window to take a peek. \*\*\*

Outside the mansion, the car that picked up Penny stopped, but neither of them got out yet. “I’m here,” said Penny as she cast him a look. “Thank you for this day, Mr. … Zoren. I really enjoyed it, and surprisingly enough, I didn’t regret agreeing to this… abrupt invitation.” 

Zoren smiled and nodded amicably. “The feeling is mutual, Penelope. I’m glad I mustered enough courage to invite you.” 

The two of them stared at each other without even mentioning when their next date would be. “Very well.” After another moment, Penny broke the silence. “It’s a little late, so I’m sure my family is worried. 

“I’ll walk you out.” 

“No, it’s fine. 

“I insist, Zoren stressed with a firm yet gentle tone. “I promised your father that I’d return you, so I am keeping that promise.” 

Her eyes softened as her smile looked defeated. “Do you always keep promises, Zoren?” 

“I do. Always. 

“You should be careful about keeping promises next time, she said. “Just a word of advice from your date who owns a security firm. Not everyone keeps their promises, so don’t hold on to 

thoce promiene en much You might met hart in the end” 

334 I know you can, but let me. 

“That’s alright, he replied with a light chuckle. “I’d rather be remembered as the man who kept. his promise than the man who breaks his word.” 

“Are you still trying to impress me?” 

“Does my honesty impress you?” 

Penny didn’t respond immediately, pursing her lips into a thin line. “It does, actually 

“Should I take that as confirmation for a second date?” he wondered, only to hear her hum after a few seconds. “I’m glad to hear that” 

“I’ll let you know about my schedule. My office will be available by the end of this week, and operations will start the week after that” 

“It’s alright,” he said. “I understand. Keep in touch. 

“Alright.” 

Having said that, Penny picked up her things and was about to open the door when he spoke. 

“Don’t open it.” 

She looked back at him and furrowed her brows. “Why?” 

“There’s a bomb attached to it,” he said. “If you open it from the inside, both of us will disappear from the face of the earth.” 

Huh??? 

“Wait for me,” he added as he stepped out, jogging over to her side of the door. Zoren swiftly opened the door for her with a smile while Penny’s brows rose. 

“That bomb…” she halted, running her tongue across her inner cheek. “… is not true?” 

“Did you believe it?” 

“No, but it was shocking enough to stop me and wonder what made you think I would believe. such a lame excuse.” 

Another soft wave of chuckles escaped him as he offered his hand to her like a gentleman. “It worked,” he said. “If it worked, then that’s good enough for me.” 

“My goodness… she whispered. … my heart, please be still.‘ 

Penny huffed and forced a smile, clasping his hand mildly as she stepped out. She found his excessive display of ‘devotion‘ a little old–fashioned. After all, Penny didn’t mind opening the car door for herself, driving herself home, or doing things one could do without a problem. 

However, that didn’t mean she didn’t feel her feminine energy dominating her the entire day. 

‘Even so…‘ she thought and faced Zoren squarely. 

“Zoren, I know you’re trying to impress me, but I can open the door for myself,” she expressed. “I don’t mind. So, you don’t have to exert more effort than you already did.”
