Chapter 1136: Don’t make me ask you again
Meanwhile...
Restlessness slowly consumed Penny, making it impossible for her to settle in her seat. She kept massaging her nape, sighing from time to time.
"First Brother and Second Brother already went out to bring them back," Zoren remarked quietly, noticing that his wife had been a bit restless. "Mark is also with them."
"I know," she whispered, snapping her gaze back to him. "But for some reason, I can’t seem to shake this feeling."
Zoren nodded, understanding his wife. He, too, had the same feeling that he couldn’t shake. Still, someone needed to remain calm between them. He reached for her hand, squeezing it to give her the slight reassurance he could offer.

Slater and Benjamin were two grown men. It wasn’t like they would get lost or anything. They were sure they’d come back soon.

Penny and Zoren tried their best to remain calm until they saw Mint returning.
"Oh, Minty~!" Lily greeted sweetly as soon as she caught sight of Mint. "Where’s Ray?"
