Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 354

354 Makes me crave blood 

Zoren Pierson might be a sickly man everyone knew or had heard about. Regardless of that, women in the upper echelon would always agree to a date with him. But right now, Patricia couldn’t help but see him as more than just a sickly man

Zoren was a gentleman

He was kind

Not just the way he spoke, which was pleasant to the ear, but there was something regal in every little movement he made. Even his blinks seemed to exude nobility; the slight curl of his lips was attractive, and the way he looked at her made her feel special

It was flattering, enough to make a woman’s heart swell with appreciation

That was what Patricia felt from the moment she met his eyes tonight until now, as they walked through the pathways of this vast landscape. Glancing at her hand on his arm, she pursed her lips sheepishly

You’re a little oldfashioned, aren’t you?she blurted out, only to get nervous when his brows rose. Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean it that way.” 

Don’t you like oldfashioned?he asked playfully. I thought you preferred someone twenty years older” 

Patricia chuckled. What was she supposed to say to that? She wasn’t sure

Of course, I don’t mind oldfashioned,

oldfashioned,she replied with a chuckle, playing it safe. I just didn’t. expect you to be such an oldfashioned gentlemanbut in a good way. It’s flattering” 

Ah” 

Patricia heaved a sigh of relief, treading carefully. Renren, you kept asking about me throughout dinner. How about you?she inquired. Won’t you share something with me? I’d love to hear about all your experiences over the past decade.” 

There’s not much,he shrugged, snapping his eyes ahead. It’s the same things over and over

Is that so?” 

He cast her a sidelong glance. Are you interested in what those recurring things are?” 

I’m always interested in you, Renren.” 

Not long ago, I was in a car accident, he said abruptly, eyes fixed ahead. It almost killed me. Fortunately, I was wearing a seatbelt, but the driver was in critical condition

What?” 

He was in a vegetative state and hasn’t regained consciousness until now, he muttered. I feel. bad for him, but I’m grateful that he’s been in the family long enough for his own to understand how dangerous it is to work under me.” 

Patricia’s smile faltered, studying Zoren’s side profile. Her mouth opened and closed, wanting to ask if he was joking because she hoped he was. However, there wasn’t a trace of jest in his voice

or face

Before that, someone tried to poison me. They put it in my coffee. Fortunately, Benjamin didn’t drink it, or anyone else. Otherwise, I would have mourned for them,he continued in the same flat tone. Though I drank half of it

What?” 

The corner of his mouth curled into a proud smirk as he glanced at her. It had no effect on Someone who’s been on different drugs all his life.” 

Why did he sound so proud of that?! 

Patricia looked at him with a mix of dread and shock. Renren, did this really happen to you?she asked, her voice tinged with nervousness

Mhm. Don’t you believe me?he asked softly. My family is so cruel, Patricia. They play a lot even when I’m not ready.” 

Again, she was rendered speechless

Let’s continue walking,” he said, taking a careful step forward. Patricia promptly followed his pace, gulping nervously

Haha, it’s probably not that serious, right?she wondered. I’ve never heard anything like this. Moreover, if it were serious, we would’ve heard about it since everything the Piersons do makes the news.” 

Patricia mentally nodded, convincing herself Zoren wasn’t being serious. Or rather, she believed the situation wasn’t as bad as he made it sound. Zoren Pierson was the head of the Pierson Family. Who would dare go against him, right

If only she knew… 

Then before that, I think I was shot with an unknown drughe added, humming as he recalled. all the incidents he could rememberThere was another one after thatright, I was also. abducted. I almost got crushed by an antique bookshelf once. And then, another car accident

Zoren kept listing everything as if he were simply recalling a grocery list

RenrenPatricia let out a helpless chuckle. All of that happened to you in the span of twelve. years?” 

Oh, that’s probably over the span of two years

“…Patricia’s heart sank. Are you serious?” 

Mhm

She pressed her lips into a thin line, telling herself he was simply testing her. Wait, hang on,she told herself. If this is a test, is he seeing if I will stay with him? Even if it wasn’t, and if this is real, staying with him and knowing I’m on his side is like a beacon of hope for him, right?” 

RenrenPatricia stopped and faced him, her expression sorrowful. Why did this all happen to you? I thought you were the head of the Pierson family.”
