Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 511

Chapter 511: Do not disturb

Penny and Zoren lay flat on their backs, staring at the ceiling as they tried to catch their breath. Their chests rose and fell heavily, their mouths open.

Penny didn’t need to recall last night’s events because she had just experienced them all over again. The intensity left her speechless. Last night, she had fallen asleep early after a long, exhausting day and an equally tiring night. But this morning, she still had energy to spare.

Zoren turned his head to the side and grinned before rolling onto his side to face her. Casually, he wrapped an arm around her.

"Love you," he murmured, planting a soft kiss on her cheek.

It wasn’t the kiss that made Penny flinch—it was what he said so casually. Her eyes widened, and she turned to him, shock clear on her face.

"Hmm?" His eyebrows rose, noticing her strange gaze. "Want to do it again? I’m ready."

"Renren, what did you just say?"

"Hmm?" He tilted his head innocently. "I’m ready anytime you want."

Penny bit her lip and huffed. "Not that part."

"What did I say?"

"That... what you said before you kissed me... just now," she stammered, finding it difficult to bring it up, but Zoren only smiled.

"Ah." He nodded. "What about it?"

"Why would you say that?"

Now it was Zoren’s turn to look confused. "Am I not allowed to say what I’ve always wanted to tell you?"

"You love me?" she blurted out, realizing how silly she sounded.

They had kissed plenty of times, and not just simple kisses. They had been intimate the night before and just moments ago. Judging by the look on his face, he was ready for another round of passion.

So, the question sounded so misplaced.

"I do," he nodded, blinking in mild confusion. "I thought that was obvious."

"Ha... ha..." Penny laughed awkwardly, trying to recover from her moment of foolishness. "Yes, right, you do."

Her response only made him tilt his head. ’Did I say it wrong? Or did I sound insincere?’ Zoren blinked, pondering what made her react so awkwardly after he confessed his love.

Now that he thought about it, Zoren had never actually said those words to her before. Even though his actions had always conveyed it, he had never spoken them aloud. It wasn’t that he thought the words were unnecessary, but her presence alone had always been enough for him.

"By the way, Renren, isn’t it getting a little late?" she asked, changing the subject, not wanting to dwell on the unexpected declaration she had never heard in either of her lifetimes.

’Come to think of it,’ Penny thought, ’Everything we’ve done has been like exercise... with a good reward.’
