Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1418

Chapter 1418: Gentle giant

Penny and Zoren didn’t linger long. After Zoren had a bite of his cake and asked Penny for help, she happily finished it for him—in a blink of an eye. This was on top of the two slices she had already eaten before the official one in the living room.

"Take care, Penny." Nina stood by the doorway with Finn, watching the couple outside. "Are you sure you don’t want us to walk you out?"

Penny shook her head. "Don’t bother. Blacky and Chunchun are waiting for us outside, and they might mistake you for food."

"..." Nina was momentarily speechless before blurting out, "You left your black panther and your cat outside?"

"Mhm!" Penny nodded before laughing. "Don’t worry. They’ll be fine."

That wasn’t what Nina was worried about. She knew Penny’s pets would be fine, but she wasn’t so sure about any unsuspecting pedestrians taking a nighttime stroll.

"Anyway, thank you for coming by." Finn took over, sensing Nina’s unspoken concerns. By now, he had accepted that Penny’s and Zoren’s logic was something he would never fully grasp. The couple was truly a match made in heaven.

"No worries!" Penny then flashed Zoren a look. "Shall we?"

"Mhm?" Zoren hummed, casting Finn and Nina a quick glance. As he and Penny turned away, he leaned closer to her and murmured, "I think we’re ready to go to your parents’ home and brag about our marriage next."

Penny treaded carefully as she turned to him. "Renren, I like the confidence, but it’s still too early to challenge them to a showdown."

"Is it?"

"Mhm. Let’s just go to Grandma’s to reassure her that we still love each other."

"Even without reassurance, she’ll always make sure you love me," he replied with an innocent smile, making Penny furrow her brows.

As the two of them walked away, still deep in conversation, Nina and Finn remained by the doorway, listening. Nina smiled, letting out a soft chuckle as she sighed in relief. Finn, on the other hand, simply shook his head.

He had thought that once Penny and Nina returned from the kitchen, it would put an end to Zoren’s nonstop bragging. But not only had it continued—Penny had even backed her husband up.

"I think they came here just to brag about their marriage," Finn mumbled, making Nina chuckle.

She turned to him. "They came to welcome us to the neighborhood... because, technically, we’re still new here."

"That, and to brag about their marriage," Finn added, making her laugh.

"I guess that’s true." Nina reached for his hand, her eyes twinkling as she gave it a gentle squeeze. "But I’m glad they came tonight."

Otherwise, Nina knew that what they had been discussing earlier would have weighed even heavier on Finn’s heart. She knew he wanted to confront his parents, and convincing him not to would have been impossible. But for her, he was willing to hold back... for now.

Thanks to Zoren and Penny, Nina and Finn had found a moment of comfort and peace amid their dilemma. Instead of letting it weigh them down, they could choose to focus on the good. It didn’t mean they would ignore their problems entirely, but this setback wouldn’t be what would break them—or their relationship. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
