Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1435

Chapter 1435: Bowl of soup

[SKYLINE PLAZA: Zoren’s]

Old Mrs. Pierson happily entered the home with Butler Hubert’s assistance. Since there were no live-in helpers at Zoren’s home, they brought their own to assist the Old Madam.

"Old Madam, why don’t you let me do it for you?" Butler Hubert remarked, letting her hold onto his arm. "Miss Penny told you to rest as much as possible."

Old Mrs. Pierson waved him off. "This is the least I can do for my little angel. When Enzo was alive, I used to fill his fridge with all sorts of herbal teas and nutritious foods. Since this is all I can do for my little Penelope, I want to do it myself."

Although Penny and Zoren often visited the Pierson residence, the Old Madam occasionally dropped by, usually when she had prepared something for the couple to share for dinner. She also liked to check what else they needed so she could prepare it for them again.

With that, Old Mrs. Pierson and Butler Hubert headed straight to the kitchen, while the other helpers carried in ingredients, fruits, and various meats and fish.

"Let’s see..." Old Mrs. Pierson let go of Butler Hubert’s arm as she stood in front of the fridge. Her mouth stretched into a wide smile, deepening the wrinkles on her face. "This is why I love giving her food. She eats everything."

Although there were still some food containers inside, the supply was less than half of what she had last provided. Pleased, Old Mrs. Pierson began her routine, checking what was left and what needed restocking. As she inspected, she stumbled upon a particular soup container.

"This one..." She narrowed her eyes, picking it up to check if there was any left inside.

It was still full.

The last time she had given Penny food, Old Mrs. Pierson distinctly remembered handing her this specific soup. It was meant for Zoren—to enhance his performance and ensure he wouldn’t let go of his wife all night. To avoid confusion with other soups, she had placed it in this special container.

"Old Madam, I don’t think the Young Master would drink that," Butler Hubert commented, eyeing the red soup container in her hand. "He has always been competitive and prideful. He won’t drink it simply because he believes he can perform without it."

Old Mrs. Pierson frowned. "That’s exactly why I didn’t tell Renren about it. However, I told Penelope to make him drink it without his knowledge."

"Well..." Butler Hubert pressed his lips into a thin line. "I suppose Miss Penelope thinks he’s performing well enough."

"That is not the point, Butler Hubert," Old Mrs. Pierson shook her head. "Penelope is ovulating—if my calendar is correct. This soup isn’t just for performance; it also helps improve the chances of a successful conception."

Butler Hubert’s eyebrows lifted in realization, while Old Mrs. Pierson nodded knowingly.

"Ahh..." He pounded his fist lightly against his palm. "So, that’s how it is."

"They’ve been at it day and night, yet Penelope still isn’t pregnant. I can only blame Renren for that. Even though he’s improving with treatment, I’m certain his past health issues are preventing him from impregnating Penny." She sighed. "I’m old, Butler Hubert. I want to help them in any way I can. A set of quadruplets might be his wishful thinking, but seeing their child—just one—would fulfill my final wish."

Butler Hubert smiled in defeat. "Then, what should we do, Old Madam?"

"Heh." Old Mrs. Pierson smirked mischievously, giving him a look.

After decades of working for her, Butler Hubert knew exactly what she was thinking.

If Penny wouldn’t serve it to her husband, they would serve it to them!

"Uncle Haines, what is it?" Penny asked as soon as the call connected. "Oh, and I’m sorry for not calling you back sooner. I had a lot to do, so my phone was on silent mode."

Haines didn’t answer immediately. "Where are you right now?"

"Uh... heading home?"
