Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 801

Chapter 801: I felt like I would trust him

Because of Zoren’s reassurance and flattery, Penny found herself melting in his arms. A smile was cemented on her face as she giggled every once in a while. Her frustrations over that epic failed entrance had already disappeared, knowing that, in her husband’s heart, eyes, and mind, she was the coolest.

Besides, Zoren was surprisingly pleased by her surprise. That was the most important part.

"Will he be fine?" Out of nowhere, Zoren raised a question she didn’t expect.

Looking up at him from his shoulder, her brows raised slightly. "Dean Pierson?"

"Mhm." Zoren gazed down at her, worry evident in his eyes. "Will he?"

"Of course." Penny slowly peeled her head from his shoulder, facing him squarely. "Why wouldn’t he?"

Zoren tilted his head slightly. "Don’t you really know?" he asked out of pure curiosity, reading the air around her.

A shallow laugh escaped him, brushing her cheek with the back of his hand. "I thought you were joking, but it seems you really think he will be fine."

"Of course he will be. Dean Pierson is Dean Pierson. There’s no way he won’t be fine just because I’m married."

"He likes you."

"No, he doesn’t."

"He does." _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

Penny frowned. "Renren, why are you arguing with me about this? I know him. What he said back there... is true. Whether or not I want to admit it, we kind of grew up together. So, I know whether he’s going to be okay or not."

"..." Zoren rocked his head, no longer arguing with her. Not that there was a problem with it. Dean could be fine or not; it didn’t matter because Zoren would never let another man touch his wife. Even so...

"Why are you worried about him?" she asked out of pure curiosity. "I thought you two didn’t get along."

"We don’t get along, but I don’t hate him either," he shrugged. "In fact, I kind of like him."

Penny huffed and clicked her tongue. "Why do you like someone like him?"

"I should ask you that question as well," he returned. "Why do you not like him? Even as a... friend? You can’t like him as a man because you already have me, but as a friend or a colleague... it makes me curious."

Although the two of them had been together for quite some time now, they rarely talked about Dean. They would mostly discuss the Pierson Family, and sometimes, a little bit about Penny’s relationship with Dean. However, they never delved deeply into it.

"Well..." Penny shrugged, leaning on the seat, eyes on him. "I don’t know?"

Zoren raised a brow, doubtful. "Are you sure?"

Nathaniel.

’I also felt like I would trust him,’ she added in her mind. ’So before that even happens, I kept him at arm’s length.’
