Chapter 360: Let’s get married
As the chaos ensued between Max, Hugo, and everyone else, Penny carefully retreated, removing herself from the situation. She knew her brother wasn’t going to die tonight, and she also knew that the basketball team wouldn’t let Hugo become a murderer tonight. In other words, she didn’t have to do anything except what she came here for — enjoy herself.
"Ah, goodness." Penny shook her head. "It’s been a while since I went out to a party with my second brother, but this is the worst one yet."
Penny found herself in the corner bar of the pool area, ordering herself a glass of margarita to unwind. While waiting for the drink, she glanced back at the chaos, and they were still at it.
"Good thing everyone is having fun," she whispered. "And also, it looks like they’re just playing, so it’s not raising any concerns."
She shook her head, hoping they would settle this matter eventually.
"Here’s your drink, Miss."
Penny snapped her eyes up at the bartender and smiled. "Thank you," she expressed before taking a sip. Licking her lips, she leaned her arms against the counter and sighed.
’I thought if I went with Second Brother, I wouldn’t think about him at all,’ she whispered in her mind. ’But I was wrong.’
Even if she tried not to think about what was bothering her, a sense of discomfort lingered in her heart. It was as though her body, mind, and heart knew she was in the wrong place at the moment. It was as if, deep in her bones, she was aware she shouldn’t be here but somewhere else.
"This is frustrating," she whispered, taking another sip from her glass. ’I said all of that to Benjamin, but it hasn’t even been a day, and I’m already starting to regret it.’
