Chapter 1008: caught red handed
"I can see you very clearly... finally. And God, my wife is gorgeous!"
Penny’s mouth fell open, wide-eyed. With all the scribbles on her face, she looked like a clown. She blinked and blinked, staring at the majestic beauty inches from her. Her heart began to beat loudly in her chest until she heard it sound like:
DUN DUN DUN DUN!!!
Penny gasped as she realized what she actually looked like at that moment. It was far from the way she’d described it to Zoren. Without thinking, Penny pushed herself away from him. She jumped from her spot, ready to flee to the bathroom to get rid of this abominable art on her face.
That Slater Bennet! He better prepare for round two!
But just as Penny turned around to run, Zoren swiftly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. With his movement, Penny fell back on the bed while he intuitively held her body still.
Her eyes shook a little as her breath caught in her throat. Slowly, she looked up at him, realizing their faces were inches apart again.
"Don’t go," he said with a smile. "Don’t hide. That scribbling isn’t enough to hide your beauty."
Her face twitched a little; those words sounded so familiar. "He... he... Renren, I... I know I’m not ugly, but this drawing is horrible. I don’t want our first meeting to be looking at this—"
The rest of her words were cut off as he suddenly leaned in for a kiss. Her already mortified expression stiffened as her dilated eyes almost popped out of their sockets. For a second, her mind went blank, watching him pull his head back like a fool.
Zoren smiled subtly, brushing a few stray hairs from her face with the back of his hand. "It’s better than I expected," he said, referring to their first meeting. "It’s perfect."
"..." Penny blinked, her mind still buffering.
