Chapter 19: She did, what?
Penny didn’t mean to eat the last bag of chocolate in the fridge last night. However, resolving an issue for over an hour while standing up and with her arms over the desk that was almost above her chest was tiring. She could still feel her arms ache.
Those chocolates were Slater’s, and she knew he was saving them for special occasions, but she ate them anyway.
Just as Penny prepared herself from Slater’s wrath, she saw everyone gazing down at her pajamas.
It was a printed duck pajama!
"Penny... it really is you. When I went to get some water last night, I saw you enter Uncle Haines’s study room." Nina’s meek voice snapped everyone back to their senses. "You should apologize to Uncle Haines because it seemed you deleted an important file from his computer. I know you’re new here, but you shouldn’t touch important stuff."
"Penny, look what you’ve done!" Slater hissed. "Dad, she should be grounded for an entire year! She’s only allowed to eat three times a day! No more snacks!"
The couple’s worry consistently increased because they knew they had to discipline Penny if she ruined Haines’s work.
To everyone’s surprise, Haines suddenly cheered.
"Penny, you are a godsend!" Haines rushed to her and tried to lift her happily. However, Penny was too heavy and big, he ended up falling on his knees.
Everyone: "???"
Penny blinked and blinked, tilting her head to the side. "Uncle Haines, are you okay?"
Did he just try to lift her like a baby? Even Jessa complained when Penny had to sit on Jessa’s lap for hours on her mahjong nights. She was only three at that time.
