"You... creature. Do you love me?"
For a moment, Butler Jen and Slater looked at Penny incredulously. They didn’t know which one they should be more surprised by: was it her question or how she just referred to Slater?
"Penny!" Slater yelled, making Penny flinch in surprise. "What’s wrong with you?! Not only can you not call me ’Third Brother,’ but you also call me ’Creature’?! What did I do now for you to hate me?!"
’A lot?’ was what she wanted to say, but Penny bit her tongue and pursed her lips.
He huffed, planting his hands on his hips. "I can’t believe this! You weren’t in your office today, and now you come here just to tease me! Heartless! Cruel little sister! Butler Jen, talk some sense into her! This is too much, even for me!"
"Miss Penny, is everything alright? Did the Third Master upset you again?" asked Butler Jen, earning a gasp from the dramatic Slater.
"Well." Penny smacked her lips, recalling every mean thing her third brother had said. She shrugged and snapped her eyes at Slater before shrugging again. "Bye."
After saying that, Penny turned her back on them and walked away. Slater scoffed while Butler Jen was rendered speechless.
"Hah! Butler Jen, I think my sister just lost her mind weeks after moving in with her husband!" Slater exclaimed, watching Penny approach the stairs. "Penny! Where are you going?"
But all he received from her was silence. Penny continued up the stairs, not even giving Slater a glance.
"Hah!" Slater scoffed again, clicking his tongue. "Hey, come back here!"
"Third Master—" Butler Jen couldn’t finish his sentence because Slater had already sprinted toward the stairs. He caught Penny stopping momentarily to look back, only to run away when she saw Slater following her.
"..." For a second, Butler Jen tilted his head to the side. He blinked a few times before smiling. "She’s probably teasing him again. I should prepare her snacks... and his hot chocolate."
After all, Butler Jen could already sense that there would be another huge fight between Penny and Slater. They would surely need their snacks to replenish their energy after they slaughter each other. With that thought in mind, Butler Jen turned to leave.

Meanwhile, in Charles and Allison’s room, Charles was seated on the bed with his back against the headboard, reading a book on his lap while wearing his reading glasses. When he heard the door open, he lifted his eyes over the rims of his glasses.
’Hehe...’ he giggled internally, watching Allison approach the vanity mirror. His wife was already in a nightdress with a night robe on, applying some hand cream while glancing at her skincare products.
’Grandma Pierson sent me some tea today and told me it would help me,’ he thought, keeping his eyes on his beautiful wife. ’I want to test it tonight.’
