Darlington had been scared to even step in before. He had thought Osvaldo was still so violent and had regretted not bringing enough guards for protection. But seeing his grandson speak to him normally after eleven whole years.
Darlington wiped his tears. At last, his family was not lost after all. The heir to the Adkins wealth was fine again.
Slowly, Darlington’s gaze shifted to Penelope. She was standing right beside Osvaldo, face down as she avoided his gaze. Both hands crossed to her front, her fingers playing with each other as she waited to be judged by him.
Penny was busy lost in her thought trying to wonder the type of insult he would give her this time. But she knew one thing, there was no insult Osvaldo’s grandfather would want to give her that she hadn’t heard before.
"She must be my granddaughter-in-law?" Darlington whispered, wonder lacing his voice and Penny finally lifted her head to meet his gaze.
Her eyes. God above, her eyes. A striking, ocean blue that shimmered with innocence and shyness. She looked so soft, so untouched by the ugliness of the world. Like a gentle bunny hiding behind a bad wolf.
"Yes, she’s my Penguin," Osvaldo said pushing his cute Penguin forward.
"She’s gorgeous," Darlington said, and Penny who’d never heard anyone call her that before was stunned.
