Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 636

Chapter 636: He’s one of my soldiers.

One of the perks of coming clean and sharing Penny’s little secret with Zoren was that she could talk about her past life freely. Although they had discussed a lot of it while Penny was letting her other ego come out, this was something different.

Meanwhile, when she said she needed a brainstorming buddy, Zoren initially thought it was about something else. But when she started listing what had been on her mind, he understood why she needed another mind to think alongside her.

[Every day is a battle in this mind, so don’t be one of the battles I have to fight.]

What she said last night resonated in his mind as he listened to her worries. Although everything she was saying concerned him and stirred emotions that were enough to make one’s blood boil, he couldn’t help but admire how she expressed herself. The more she talked, the more she revealed just how complex and beautiful her mind was.

"Did you hear everything I said?" Penny turned her head to the side, blinking. "So, don’t punish them, okay?"

"..." Zoren remained quiet. "It’s already done."

Just now, Penny was talking about Zoren not punishing his men. After all, she was aware that the reason she wasn’t being watched by his men was due to her request. She felt bad if they were to be punished when they had only listened to her orders.

"Renren, when we exchanged guards, that also meant they had to listen to me," she mumbled, sounding like she was complaining. "I don’t meddle with Angel, even if he messes up. It’s unfair. We need a new rule about this."

"..."

"But first, don’t look at me. Keep staring at the ceiling. I don’t want my beauty distracting you." She waved a hand, signaling him to look ahead.

Zoren blinked, but he reluctantly peeled his gaze from her. He set his eyes on the wall and up at the ceiling, catching a glimpse of their feet resting on the wall. Earlier, Penny and Zoren had been seated on the beanbags, but now he didn’t know how they ended up lying on the beanbags with their feet resting on the wall.

Their position seemed so relaxed, but in a way, he understood that Penny needed to be at ease.

"Since Angel is already handling your security and I’m not meddling with it, let your men do their job too!" she remarked sternly. "If they deserve punishment, then I’m the one to decide that."

Zoren didn’t answer immediately as he thought about it. "Okay, but promise me one thing."

"Hmm?"

"Wherever you go or whatever you do, keep them around. At least, Mark." He looked back at her again. "Please."

"Uh... right. I will." Penny smiled. "It’s just that yesterday, I was... my brain was a little foggy, and it was full of uncertainty. I wasn’t comfortable knowing someone was witnessing how I slowly went crazy."

"I understand."

"So, that’s settled?"

"Mhm."

"Then don’t punish them anymore, alright?"

"Okay." Zoren nodded slowly before he added, "About the damage that has been done... I’m sorry about that."

Penny’s face twitched as she stared at her husband. Initially, she had thought that Zoren made his men run laps until they were crawling. But now that he said that, she guessed the punishments weren’t as simple as that.

"Just... whatever they were doing, tell them to stop and relax," she blurted out. "We’re staying here anyway, so they can use the time to recover."

Zoren smiled in satisfaction. "Okay."

’Why would he smile like that?’ she wondered, wrinkling her nose. But to save herself from more stressful thoughts, she put that idea aside and set her eyes on the ceiling.

"I’m not going to look at it, just the people around us," he clarified, looking back at her. "Particularly my bodyguards and yours." _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}
