Chapter 308: Goodnight’s rest
"It’s her husband, and she’s at home. If you need anything from my wife, call her tomorrow. She’s already asleep... in my bed."
The side of Zoren’s mouth hooked up into a triumphant smirk. He was aware that answering another person’s call was rude. There were exceptions, though, especially if there was an emergency. However, instead of an emergency, he was faced with a man who seemed displeased by Zoren’s existence the moment the latter spoke.
[My granddaughter-in-law is beautiful, has a perfect figure — unlike those I see in the tabloids that are barely skin and bones — and is a successful woman.]
[Not to mention, she is also a very thoughtful and considerate girl, very kind and warm, and very likable.]
[She’s too perfect, Renren. You’ll have too much competition. Let’s make sure she stays with our family.]
All of Old Mrs. Pierson’s descriptions about Penny resurfaced in his head, thinking this man was probably one of them.
’He wouldn’t be the first,’ he thought. ’Even Dean claimed to be her boyfriend.’
If Zoren could repel one or two troublemakers, he hoped that would lessen her burdens. After all, it seemed that’s what his grandmother was saying. If Dean hadn’t claimed Penny to be his, he would’ve second thoughts, but even Dean Pierson claimed Penny as his girlfriend.
’They’re not together,’ Zoren smiled in satisfaction, arching his brow when the silence in the line broke.
"Husband?" Atlas scoffed dangerously. "Whoever you are answering her phone, give it to her."
"Like I said, she’s asleep."
"Did you spike her drink!?" Slater gasped, causing lines to appear between Zoren’s brows.
