Chapter 635: Two brains are better than one
[BENNET MANSION]
Once the family arrived, everyone went off to do their own thing. Since Penny had just gone through a terrible incident, Allison focused on her daughter and gave her special care. She didn’t have time to show Zoren around, but she did escort them to Penny’s room.
"I asked Butler Jen to prepare the room. Fortunately, there’s an extra bed that will fit the two of you," Allison said as soon as they reached Penny’s room, smiling gently at the couple. Her smile, however, cracked as she darted her eyes between them.
"I—I’ll help in the kitchen first," she said with a forced smile, her eyes teary. "You two should rest for now, okay?"
Having said that, Allison didn’t wait for their answer as she rushed outside.
"..." Zoren was momentarily speechless, casting his wife a confused look. "Was your mother... crying?"
Penny’s face twitched a little as she stared at the door before casting her husband a look. "It’s okay. She’s probably just overwhelmed by the fact that another man is going to sleep in my bed with me."
"Oh..." Zoren nodded slowly. "I can stay in the guest room if that would make her feel better. I don’t mind."
"Renren, you don’t get it." Penny waved and grabbed his arm, dragging him to the study chair and sitting him down. She then looked around her bedroom, her eyes particularly studying the bed.
Her bed had been big before, but unlike her and Zoren’s bed at his place, this one was smaller. Her lips curled up as a mischievous glint flickered across her eyes, setting her mischievous gaze back on Zoren.
The moment her eyes landed on him, his brows rose innocently. Tilting his head a little, Penny’s mischievous smile faded before she pressed her lips into a thin line.
’Just look at us,’ she told herself, clasping her chest at the malicious thoughts that had crossed her mind just now. ’He’s so innocent, and here I am, thinking about how our sleeping position will be later.’
