Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 997

Chapter 997: This is bad

[SKYLINE PLAZA: ZOREN’s]

Penny sucked on her inner cheeks, narrowing her eyes at the ceiling. Another long hum escaped her closed lips, and her mind was filled with the image of Zoren slamming the door. She sat up abruptly when she couldn’t take it anymore.

"Did he hear me or not?" she asked herself for the umpteenth time. "Or did he mishear me? Is that why he was angry?"

Penny should be resting, but how could she rest when her husband had just slammed the door on her right after she told him she loved him? That wasn’t a normal reaction.

"It’s not like I would be angry if he didn’t say anything back," she grumbled. "But why is he acting angry?"

She then fixed her sharp eyes on Renny and Chunchun. "Say, do you think your father heard what I said?"

Renny kept its head over its paws while Chunchun purred. They didn’t move an inch, watching their mother ruffle her hair with both hands.

’Isn’t she supposed to be resting to recover?’ wondered Renny. ’She doesn’t look sick at all.’

’It’s probably the last surge of energy before death,’ thought Chunchun, yawning nonchalantly because the little white cat couldn’t care less. Though Chunchun had worried about Penny last night, seeing Penny now — she wasn’t worried anymore.

Chunchun had grown up under Penny’s care. Therefore, the cat knew that Penny wouldn’t die so easily. Penny would always put up a fight to keep her life, even if it meant going against the entire universe. But it was nice to tease Renny.

"Goodness," Penny huffed. "I said I’d behave, and I really want to, but I’m bothered."

Penny didn’t feel sick anymore. Well, she was always like that in this lifetime. She would only get sick for a night, and then she would be fine the next day like nothing happened. The only reason she was listening to Allison and Zoren was that she didn’t want to worry them further. She wanted them to see that she was resting and recovering for their peace of mind.

"I can’t even ask Chunchun and Blacky to come here..." she mumbled, pouting as she gazed at her pets dramatically. "They’re my healing buddies. Whenever I feel sad or unwell, hugging them heals me. But now, I can only look at you guys and wonder what’s up with Renren."

Penny pursed her lips and pondered. She thought about it for a moment before casting a sneaky look at the door.

"They wouldn’t get angry if they didn’t know, right?" she asked herself before giggling, making her pets wonder what she was up to now. Penny cleared her throat and quietly swung her legs out of the bed.

She tiptoed her way to Renny and Chunchun, squatting down in front of them. Placing a finger in front of her mouth, she hushed and then got up. Penny quickly went to the walk-in closet, picking up a lint roller, some cologne, and a small mite vacuum. She hid all of them under the bed, making sure they were within her reach but not too noticeable.

’What the—how come he’s still there?!’ she mentally panicked, only seeing a part of Zoren’s back through the small gap. Penny widened the gap to get a better view, as she could barely see her husband’s figure. ’What is he doing here? Don’t tell me he’s been standing outside the room since he left to guard the door. Or he just came but decided not to see me?’
