Chapter 307: It’s her husband
Last night...
"Ugh..." Zoren clenched his teeth as he carried Penny in his arms.
’She... she’s heavy,’ he thought.
From what he could tell, she didn’t seem that big. Confidently, he carried her to his house, though he should’ve just swallowed his pride and asked someone else to do it.
Fortunately, Zoren managed to reach his bedroom before his arms could give in. The moment he saw the bed, a surge of energy coursed through every fiber of his body, giving him the strength to hurry.
When he was close enough, he simply tossed her onto the bed.
"Hah..." Zoren rested his hand on the edge of the bed, panting for air, relieved that he managed. Snapping his eyes up to her, another shallow breath escaped him.
"She hurts my pride," he whispered and sat on the edge of the bed, loosening his tie to breathe. "I should work out more now."
Ever since his health deteriorated, Zoren had to stop most activities that could strain his body. Although he still exercised, it was mild, just enough to maintain good blood circulation. Other than that, he couldn’t train anymore.
Another deep breath escaped him as he reclined a little, his palms resting on the soft mattress. He wanted to leave as soon as possible, but carrying her from the car all the way to the bedroom had drained every last bit of his energy.
