Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Mukbang

Penny fluttered her eyelashes at the grand entourage waiting for her outside the mansion. But when her eyes fell on Old Mrs. Pierson, who called out to her, she chose to ignore the grand gesture from the Piersons.

"My child! You finally arrived!" Old Mrs. Pierson squeezed Zoren’s arm, signaling him to escort her to Penny.

Penny smiled and called gently, "Grandma."

Seeing they were about to take the stairs, Penny jumped and jogged up the steps to avoid burdening Old Mrs. Pierson. She quickly reached Old Mrs. Pierson’s vantage point without breaking a sweat.

"Haha!" Old Mrs. Pierson chuckled in satisfaction. "You didn’t have to run like that, my dear."

"It’s alright, Grandma," Penny smiled, raising her brows when Old Mrs. Pierson clasped her hands. "I run here and there a lot."

Old Mrs. Pierson’s laughter grew louder as she elbowed Zoren playfully. Seeing the old madam’s action, Penny’s brows rose.

"Right," Zoren nodded, and a servant quickly went to him to hand over the bouquet. "Here, for you... my love."

Penny almost choked on her breath when she heard his endearment. She looked at him incredulously before he spoke again.

"Please accept them."

’Don’t make it sound like you’re being forced!’ Penny’s face twisted a little, but when her eyes fell on the flowers in his hand, she tilted her head slightly. ’Peonies? I thought I told Benjamin not to bother.’

"Aren’t you sweet?" she replied, casually accepting the flowers before shifting her attention to Old Mrs. Pierson. "Grandma, did you tell him to buy me flowers?"

Old Mrs. Pierson nodded proudly. "How did you know, my dear?"

"He never bought me flowers before."

Zoren kept his mouth sealed but knew his wife was stirring trouble for him again. He understood this was her small way of revenge. After all, he knew Penny was aware that Old Mrs. Pierson would scold him.

Not that he minded.

"What?" Old Mrs. Pierson frowned at her grandson. "You little... is this true?"

Zoren nodded. "It’s true," because he hadn’t even known he had a wife to bring flowers to until recently.

"My goodness." Old Mrs. Pierson shook her head in disappointment, holding Penny’s hand apologetically. "My dear, you must have suffered a lot."

"Haha. It’s not like that, Grandma," Penny chuckled. "My husband simply knows I don’t like flowers."

"Even so, a woman would still appreciate flowers occasionally. My poor child. I’m so glad you had such patience with my grandson," Old Mrs. Pierson said, looking at Penny sympathetically as if she had endured much. "It’s okay now. Grandma is here on your side. Your husband will not neglect you anymore."

Penny automatically smiled.

"Come, come, my dear. Let’s get inside. I’ve prepared my signature dish..." Old Mrs. Pierson held Penny’s hand and slowly dragged her inside. Penny, in turn, gently held the old madam’s arm to assist her.

As the two walked in, Zoren stood quietly in the same spot.

They didn’t even invite him in.

Zoren slowly followed their blurry figures. ’She’s still wearing the same clothes from earlier,’ he thought, noting that she was wearing the same color she had on earlier in the day. ’Did she come here straight from work?’

While Zoren wondered how he might have troubled Penny, the servants remained in a daze, still staring at Old Mrs. Pierson and Penny as they walked in.

"Wow," one servant whispered, wide-eyed. "So pretty."

"Even her voice is beautiful."
