303 Take her home
The first tPenny laid eyes on Zoren Pierson without knowing he was Renren - she knew he was dangerous.
He was trouble. It was her instinct's first scream at her... and her instincts had never failed her, not even once. 1
Tonight, she proved that once again.
"What do you think, my dear?" Old Mrs. Pierson's voice snapped Penny back from her trance.
"Hmm?"
Penny blinked, a brief smile on her face. "What, Grandma?"
"She's asking if you would stay over," Zoren casually repeated. "And | said no."
"Ah. She nodded and turned to Old Mrs. Pierson. "Grandma, as much as | want to, | still have a lot of
appointments tomorrow. Like | said, I'm branching out here, and I'm currently setting up my office so | can be
with my husband." Old Mrs. Pierson sighed and glared at Butler Hubert. The butler's breath hitched before he
quickly found a way to salvage the situation.
"Old Madam," Butler Hubert leaned closer to the Old Madam's side, "I think we should let them go for now. So,
when you ask them next time, they won't be able to refuse. Moreover, I'm sure their private ttogether earlier
wasn't enough." "You're right." Old Mrs. Pierson nodded, and at this point, Penny and Zoren couldn't help but see
Butler Hubert as the incarnate version of the devil on the old madam's shoulder.
"Alright!" Old Mrs. Pierson smiled in satisfaction, though tinged with reluctance. She turned to Penny and
reached out. Penny automatically responded, gently holding the old madam's hand.
"My dearest, please visit your grandma when you have the time, alright?" Old Mrs. Pierson remarked, her eyes
soft and her hold warm. "Tellif someone is giving you a hard time. I'll put them in their place!" "Haha.
Grandma, it's alright. No one's givinga hard time."

Old Mrs. Pierson shook her head. "I'm saying in the future. | don't care who it is! So, do not be afraid, my little
Penelope. As long as Grandma is behind you, | will protect you." She then glared at Zoren.
"I'll also protect my wife," he nodded firmly. "Even if you're capable, don't be afraid to ask for
help.
"That's right. We're family now." Old Mrs. Pierson rubbed Penny's hand gently. "Do you understand, my little
child?"
Penny studied the old madam's face and smiled subtly but genuinely. "Yes, Grandma. I'll keep
that in mind."
"Good, good!" the old madam intoned happily. "So cby here anytyou like, and if your husband is giving
you a hard time, just tell me! I'll kick him out of my will!" 303 Take her home
"Haha. Zoren is not givinga hard time, Grandma. He is a good and capable man."
"Hmp!" Old Mrs. Pierson wasn't convinced. If her grandson was so capable, why were there still no little Zorens
and Pennys? $ "Grandma, I'll visit you again. Penny squeezed the old madam's hand gently. "Even if I'm busy this
week, I'll make time."
"Oh, my good girl. Old Mrs. Pierson ruffled her hair affectionately. "The heavens surely loved me. for giving you
to me!" Surely, her grandson had married a good-natured woman. This alone deeply pleased the old madam,
thinking that her randson was finally blessed by the heavens.
After a long farewell, Butler Hubert assisted the old madam to her room, while Penny and Zoren showed
themselves out. It was a
showed themselves out. It was already late at night, so they didn't want to bother the old madam to see them
off.
With Zoren's insistence, Penny ended up riding with him, while another car followed with hers. Seated in the
backseat, Penny kept her eyes on the window.
"Today was a little too eventful,’ she thought, recalling her day from morning until now. I'm actually exhausted.
It's been a while since | felt like I'd fall asleep right away."
Her eyelids felt heavier with every blink, but she forced herself to stay awake. Penny had only agreed to ride with
Zoren on the condition that he would drop her off once they were away from Skyline Plaza, so she could drive
herself home. After all, Old Mrs. Pierson knew she was supposed to go hto Zoren's place.
'So tired... 'Penny leaned back comfortably, crossing her arms, eyes still on the window. Maybe a nap will help. |
can't drive if I'm this sleepy.
As the thought crossed her mind, Penny quietly yawned. She tilted her head slightly to the side, blinking wearily,
weighing her options at the moment. But even as she tried to think of things to keep her mind active, it was
futile.
Meanwhile, Zoren, who was seated on the other side of the backseat, raised his brows. He slowly turned his
head, only to see her head tilting further until a faint "thud" was heard.
'Did she fall asleep?’ he wondered, but considering she had been out all day, he stayed quiet.
"Drive slowly and carefully," he instructed the driver quietly. "Miss Penelope fell asleep and hit her head just
now."
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and nodded.
With that, they drove to the location where Penny wanted to be dropped off in silence. When they reached their

303. Take her home
He nudged her shoulder a little harder this time, but she only swayed. Zoren tilted his head, though he couldn't
quite see how peacefully she was sleeping. Even so, he could tell she was drained.
Zoren quietly straightened his back and leaned back, snapping his gaze to the driver. "Let's take
her to her home.
"But sir... Miss Penelope didn't tell us where she lives"
"Ah." Zoren nodded in understanding and took out his phone to call Benjamin. When the line connected, he
didn't beat around the bush. "Ben, Miss Penelope fell asleep on our way to her drop-off point. Sendher home
address now." "What?" Benjamin furrowed his brows and opened his mouth, but then he squinted. A mischievous
grin then spread on his face. "Sir, Miss Penelope didn't tellwhere she lives!"
"Didn't you find that out?
"She's the CEO of PrGroup- the leading security firm in today's market. Information about her, especially her
family, is highly secured!" 2
Zoren nodded and glanced at Penny. "Okay," was all he said to his assistant before hanging up, snapping his
eyes back to the driver. "Take us home." "Sisir?"
"She's tired. I'll take her home."
