Penny felt her heart warm as happiness filled her, but she was shy at the same time.
She was about to answer him with a 'what' to feign ignorance when suddenly Leah entered the kitchen.
"Nathan, leave the cooking to us!" Leah said.
The moment she entered the kitchen, she saw her daughter and son-in-law locked in an intimate position.
Penny flushed an even deeper scarlet red and hastily pushed Nathan away, saying with absolute embarrassment, "Nathan, just go out for now. Mom and I can handle it."
Nathan was also slightly embarrassed, so he fled from the kitchen in a hurry.
Leah had to stifle her smile. She didn't see anything wrong with her daughter being intimate with her son-in-law.
On the contrary, she yearned for Nathan and her daughter to quickly bear her another grandchild!
It didn't take long before the table was full of scrumptious dishes.
The family of five sat down for a hearty dinner.
The East, Horton City.
In the president's office in the East.
Todd Lund, the president in the East, had a slicked-back hairstyle and was clad in a black suit that could hardly accommodate his obese body. A cigar dangled from his lips as he lounged lazily in his chair, listening to the cries of the Griffins and Jacksons!
Stephen Griffin, Damon's father, said with anger lacing his tone, "Mr. Lund, you're the head of the Eastern Chamber of Commerce. Nathan Cross and Penny Smith went too far by locking my son and daughter-in-law in prison! You must help us stand up against them!"
Saul Jackson, Denise's father also pleaded, "Yes, Mr. Lund. Your power can reach even the skies! Since the Jacksons and Griffins are members of the Eastern Chamber of Commerce, please help us get my daughter and son-in-law out.""
Todd smiled and offered them words of comfort. "I know that your son and your daughter have run into trouble and that you're both very anxious. Since both, your families are a part of the Eastern Chamber of Commerce, I will inquire about the situation there. So, you two should go home and await my news."
Then, he turned to the side. "Joey, show the two men out."
A handsome young man standing by the side smiled and said, "Gentlemen, please follow me."
