Chapter 29: It’s okay, papa!
Allison had always been a frail person. Hence, Charles often stayed by her side throughout all of her pregnancies. So, seeing her so pale and weak, Penny was worried.
With the book in her arms, Penny made her way to her parents’ room. She just wanted to check, or perhaps, to ask Butler Jen about Allison’s condition to ease her worry. She didn’t want to disturb Allison’s rest.
"Sir, what happened with your meeting with Mrs. Jessa Cortez?" Butler Jen asked worriedly.
Charles sighed as he glanced back at the door behind him. "Not good."
Butler Jen quickly deduced what happened with only those two words.
Jessa was the one who raised Penny all these years. Butler Jen also heard that the woman exploited Penny at a very young age, exposing her to gambling and all sorts of stuff. Just by that, one could already paint what kind of woman Jessa was.
Fortunately, Penny grew up into a brilliant and well-behaved child despite her environment.
On the other hand, Charles and Allison were Penny’s real parents. The two were still trying to build a bond with their long-lost daughter.
Thinking about this, Butler Jen felt regretful. He could already imagine the argument and tricky situation the couple were facing after meeting Jessa.
"Butler Jen, if the kids come later and ask about their mother, please tell them she’s just resting." Charles smiled weakly. "I don’t want to worry them, especially Atlas is trying to concentrate on his exam."
Butler Jen understood. "I’ll reassure them."
"Thank you."
