Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 602

Chapter 602: Marriage scares me

[Crimson Bar]

"You are... Nina?" Grace leaned over, cupping her face, her eyes on the meek Nina seated beside her.

Nina pressed her lips together and glanced at her. "You must be Grace."

"Penny told me about you."

"She talks about you as if I’ve known you well," Nina smiled. "She told me about you?"

"Just like what you said," Grace smirked. "She talks about you as if I also know you."

"Well... it’s nice to finally meet!"

"The feeling is mutual." Grace winked at Nina, making both of them smile. Grace then pulled away, glancing at the private room Penny had booked for all of them to meet. "So Penny only has two friends?"

"Yuri will come." Nina smacked her lips, smiling at Grace as the latter looked back. "She just had a few things to do, but she will come. Exams week is hectic... is what she said."

"I thought exam week is the most relaxed time for teachers."

"Not sure." Nina shrugged. "I think Penny also invited Ginnie and Lily. They’re her best friends."

"Ahh... those two, huh?"

"You know them?"

"I’ve heard about Ginnie and I’ve already met Lily." Grace grinned. "She’s a client of mine."

"Oh."

"Oh, well. This will be fun." Grace leaned back and enjoyed her drink, but she couldn’t help glancing at the door and then at Nina from time to time.

Nina hadn’t touched her drink and only looked at it as if she didn’t plan to even touch the glass. Grace observed her for a while, as she had heard many things—good things—about her.

"We arrived early, didn’t we?" Grace broke the silence after a while, making Nina sigh.

"I don’t think we did," said Nina. "We arrived on time."

"And Penny is always on time."

"Why is she late, though?" Nina frowned, her eyes swirling with worry.

Seeing the concern in Nina’s eyes, Grace couldn’t help but chuckle. "She probably went somewhere else. Don’t worry. Penny’s gonna be fine."

"Mhm."

"You’re a worrywart, aren’t you?" Grace chuckled, seeing that the worry in Nina’s eyes didn’t change in the slightest despite her reassurance.

"I’m sorry." Nina let out a shallow breath. "It’s just that Penny is never late, so I was worried."

"It’s alright. She’s probably dolling up because this is basically her welcome home party, plus her late bachelorette party."

"You know she’s married?"

"I’m her lawyer," Grace laughed. "Of course, I know what’s going on with her."

"Oh, right...?" Nina let out an awkward laugh, rocking her head. "I’m sorry. It’s just that I thought she hadn’t told anyone else except for family."

"And her lawyer, who gets her out of trouble and out of jail," Grace corrected. "So, since it’s just the two of us, how about you? When are you getting married?"

"Huh?"
