Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Romance to action to horror

Penny didn’t know where she was dragging Zoren, and he also wasn’t sure why she was running. So, he asked.

"Why are you so scared?" he asked, trying to match her pace while ensuring his hold on her hand was secure.

Penny huffed as she looked back. "I snuck out."

"Huh?"

"He told me to sleep, but I ran away!" she exclaimed, catching sight of some light from the end of the street behind them. "Shit! He’s going to see us!"

A surge of panic swelled in her chest, knowing she had angered Atlas tonight. Looking ahead, her eyes trembled as she searched for a place they could hide. If it was just her, she knew she could hide anywhere. But there were four of them now: Penny, Zoren, Chunchun, and Renny!

She and Chunchun could hide easily, but with a tall man like Zoren and a big cat like Renny, they needed more cover.

"Over there!" she exclaimed, picking up her pace and squeezing his hand. Penny sprinted faster, and for Zoren, who lacked this kind of exercise, it was overwhelming. Even so, he silently matched her pace.

With one swift pull from her, they jumped into the free landscape of the neighborhood. Both Penny and Zoren crashed through the bushes, landing on the ground quite violently. Renny swiftly jumped over the bush and looked at his parents, while Chunchun landed quietly without making a noise.

Both Chunchun and Renny watched their parents grunt on the ground. They tilted their heads, wondering if their parents were too old to play.

"Ugh..." Penny clenched her teeth, feeling her shoulder bruised. When she saw Renny standing and staring at them, she panicked. "Blacky, sit!"

Like a dog, the panther sat. However, because of its size, its head was still over the bush.

"Play..." Zoren was clenching his teeth when he noticed the dilemma. "Play dead."

As soon as the command left his tongue, Renny suddenly fell over to his side. Penny’s clenched teeth fell open, thinking her big baby looked like a toy that had just toppled over. Even so, that solved the immediate issue.

Penny turned to Zoren and immediately felt sorry for him. "Hey," she called worriedly. "I’m sorry. Are you okay?"

"Mhm," he hummed. "My body’s just not used to it, but I’m fine. Are you?"

She clasped her shoulder a bit and nodded. "Mhm. I’m fine."

Hearing that, both of them lay on their backs on the ground and closed their eyes. They hadn’t realized they had been running for quite some time before they reached this part of the neighborhood. They had never been here before, so they took a moment to catch their breaths and recover from the fall.

"I feel like this has just turned into an action film instead of a family-oriented one," he murmured between deep breaths. Unlike Penny, Zoren’s complexion quickly paled. His lips felt cold, and he was sweating buckets. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}
