Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301: Thumbs up

"I hope you don’t forget that. Don’t worry too much about your husband. I’ll be fine."

Perhaps Penny was underestimating him, often prioritizing Zoren’s health above everything else, forgetting the crucial point that he had earned his position through what people called a "bloody" fight. It wasn’t easy for him to get where he was, and keeping it wasn’t easy either.

"Even so, being careful is a must," she quietly blurted out.

Zoren nodded in understanding. "I will. Don’t worry."

"I’m not worried."

"I know, don’t worry."

"..." Penny pressed her lips together and shook her head. ’Never mind.’

Just then, she caught sight of an approaching figure in her peripheral vision. Turning her head, she raised her brows at Butler Hubert.

"Young Master, Young Madam, the Old Madam has finished her regular check-up," he announced. "She is calling for both of you to join her for tea."

Zoren nodded. "We’re coming." He then cast a look at Penny.

"Mhm," she hummed, trying to get up, only for Renny to place its paw on her leg. "Huh?"

Penny raised her brows. "Bla — I mean, Renny, we have to go inside."

"Renny isn’t allowed inside," Zoren informed her. "It’s not safe."

"What?" She frowned and moved closer to her baby. "How is it not safe when she’s been here before?"

Butler Hubert let out a nervous laugh. "Young Madam, it’s because the servants are wary of Renny, and we’re afraid she might get aggressive."

"But Zoren is here," she blurted out, even though she had just told herself not to be stubborn. She mentally scolded herself. ’This isn’t your house, Penny! Stop acting as if you need to rescue Blacky! Their reasoning is valid! Don’t think only of yourself!’

"Hehe..." Butler Hubert cast a look at Zoren. ’Will he listen to his wife? He wouldn’t, right? The last time Renny got inside the mansion, he turned the entire house upside down.’

"We’ll take Renny to the courtyard," Zoren said calmly but with finality. "It’s near Grandma’s bedroom."

"Young Master?" Butler Hubert furrowed his brows. "But the courtyard..."

"Tell Grandma we’ll head to the courtyard first."

Penny looked up at Zoren and then at Butler Hubert. Seeing the stern look on Zoren’s face and the confusion on the butler’s, she realized this was good news for her and Renny.

"Hihihi," she quietly giggled as she lowered her head to whisper to Renny. "Blacky, I think he’s going to take us inside."

The panther sweetly nudged its nose to her cheek, making her smile in satisfaction. If anyone could see her, they might mistake her for a child given candy, rather than a grown woman.

Once Butler Hubert left, Zoren gazed down at his wife and said, "Miss Penelope, let’s go. The courtyard is a ten-minute walk from here."

"That long?"

"I can carry you if you’re tired."

Thud!
