[Skyline Plaza: Zoren’s]
Penny and Old Mrs. Pierson chatted happily, with Penny having to fake her laughter every time Zoren would throw in an unnecessary comment. Only one hour into this relationship, and he was bold enough to hold a red flag on a stick!
"Then I will visit you every once in a while!" Old Mrs. Pierson intoned, tapping Penny’s hand. "Although next time, I’ll do it in the evening since your mornings are busy."
"No, Grandma. You need exercise as well," Zoren encouraged calmly. "Having a morning walk here is fine."
Penny glared daggers at him, but his slight blindness was protecting him. ’Renren! Do you want me to get killed?!’
"Hahaha!" Old Mrs. Pierson laughed, as it seemed she now had more on her schedule other than just her medications. "Very well, then. I’ll arrange it."
Zoren smiled in satisfaction, casting Penny a proud look. Penny, on the other hand, was rendered speechless.
’Goodness!’ she scoffed. ’Why did he look so proud, as if I have to praise him? Did he genuinely believe he had done me a huge favor?’
As Old Mrs. Pierson’s giddy laughter subsided, she cast Penny and Zoren a solemn look. "Anyway, as I was talking about with Butler Hubert, I think it’s about time the families meet," she proposed. "Although I understand your reasons for keeping your marriage hidden, it is not good if I don’t know my in-laws."
After all, Old Mrs. Pierson believed that if Zoren needed a strong ally, that would be Penny’s family. In case there was a misunderstanding between the couple, her family would root for him and persuade her.
This marriage needed to be strong, and what else could glue this marriage better than family ties?
"About that..." Zoren trailed off while Penny held her breath, about to speak ahead of him before he could say something troublesome again. But before she could, he continued, "... there are still some matters that need to be done. However, I’ll let you know once we are able to arrange a meeting with the family."
Penny furrowed her brows, looking at Zoren with slight surprise. After stirring trouble for her, she was expecting him to go all out. However, it seemed she judged too quickly. Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Pierson frowned.
"How is this not the priority right now, Zoren Pierson?" Old Mrs. Pierson expressed her dismay. "Your in-laws are the most important. Don’t stay idle and make sure they’re pleased with you. They might think our family is being rude for delaying this."
"I’m on it." Zoren nodded, casting Penny a knowing look. "I’ll make sure they’ll be pleased."
Penny narrowed her eyes suspiciously, unsure of what was going on in his mind right now. However, if this was enough to stop the family meeting, then she was okay with it. After all, she didn’t think the Bennet family was ready to know that she was married.

Old Mrs. Pierson idled with them for another thirty minutes, chatting with Penny once again about anything. Penny, who got rid of any unnecessary thoughts, indulged the old madam. When Old Mrs. Pierson noticed the time, she finally bid them farewell.
