Thanks to Zoren’s adamant orders, Renny eventually got off Penny before she could get hurt. Seated on the grass, Penny patted her chest.

“I thought I was going to die today,” she sighed in relief, giggling when Renny nudged her cheek. “It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m not angry.”

Zoren studied his wife and the panther before snapping his eyes up at Butler Hubert. “Butler Hubert, don’t worry now.”

Butler Hubert, still in a state of shock, met his young master’s eyes.

*Renny was just greeting my wife. That’s all, Zoren added. “Though I think the servants need some counseling. They look traumatized”

Who wouldn’t be!?

“Uh… yes,” Butler Hubert laughed awkwardly, glancing at Penny and the panther again. This is… this is amazing! Renny never liked anyone aside from the young master. He even grows hostile toward me when he’s not in the mood, but now Renny is…”

“Butler Hubert!” Before Butler Hubert could finish his thoughts, Old Mrs. Pierson’s voice rang

out.

Everyone turned to the approaching old Mrs. Pierson.

“How could you let Renny out when there’s a guest!?” she harrumphed. “What if Renny attacked. my poor child, huh!?”

*Old Madam…” Butler Hubert sighed heavily. “I didn’t… it was Renny who broke out of the greenhouse. I tried to stop him, but… he forced his way out”

Now that Butler Hubert thought about it, Renny’s actions were out of character. Normally, the black panther was calm and unbothered. All he wanted was to eat and roam around peacefully. Unless provoked, Renny wouldn’t do anything harmful.

But tonight, he forced his way out as if he would gnaw at anyone who stood in his way.

Slowly, Butler Hubert gazed at Penny and Renny. The black panther was now lying on his stomach right beside Penny, and Penny remained seated on the grass, petting him. Renny was tamed and letting her hand run across his short fur.

‘Am I overthinking things? Butler Hubert wondered. ‘Earlier, Renny looked aggressive at first, but the more I think about it, Renny looked more excited.

“Excuses!!” Butler Hubert’s thoughts were interrupted when Old Mrs. Pierson shouted. “Next time, be more careful! My little granddaughter was almost harmed.”

“Are you hurt?” Ignoring his grandmother’s scolding and the doctor’s helpless attempt to calm her down, Zoren gazed down at Penny.

She looked un and omiled “Vec. I’m akou Hele emart and knowe hour not to hurt neonle”

“Are you sure?”

“Mhm.” Penny glanced at the black ball of sunshine beside her. “He was just too heavy. I thought he was going to crush me.”

Zoren nodded in satisfaction. “Grandma, you don’t have to scold Butler Hubert. You should go inside because it seems you haven’t even finished your medications.”

“Hmp! No, I don’t need it anymore!” Old Mrs. Pierson stubbornly shook her head. “I almost had a heart attack when I heard the commotion!”

She glared at Butler Hubert once more, making him lower his head. “I’m sorry, Old Madam.”

“Old Madam Pierson, please do not refuse the medicine,” the doctor, who had been treated as a shadow, finally spoke up. For the first time, everyone gave him some attention. “Young Master…” he called out to Zoren, and quickly realizing whom the other person Old Madam would listen to, he shifted his attention to Penny. “Young Madam…” please help him.

“Grandma, you shouldn’t have run out here. Penny has been my wife for five years,” said Zoren. “This is not the first time she’s met Renny”

Renny?

Now that Penny was less distracted, she finally realized everyone was calling this big little guy Renny.

‘Renny? Her face contorted as a memory from the past resurfaced in her mind. ‘Isn’t that the name he said when we finally told each other our names?”

More than touched, Penny cringed. She had told little Renren how to name a pet without making things complicated, but Renny sounds like a name parents would give their child!

‘I think Blacky is still better,‘ she thought, lowering her head as Zoren coaxed his grandmother to continue with what she was supposed to do.

“I don’t want to!” Old Mrs. Pierson huffed. “I’m staying with my little granddaughter. Who knows what will happen again if I’m not around?!”

Penny sighed and smiled up at her. “Grandma, I am alright. I can wait for you while the doctor

checks you.”

“Hmm…” Unlike her usual unyielding personality, Old Mrs. Pierson pondered. “My pretty little granddaughter–in–law, will you be here when I finish?”

“Of course, Grandma. Zoren and I were just out here for a walk, but we planned to have tea. together, didn’t we?”

“We have all night, Grandma, Zoren added.

“Old Madam, let’s go inside first so the young madam and the young master won’t have to wait. long,” said the doctor, and Butler Hubert didn’t miss the chance to add more to persuade the madam.

up to Old Mrs. Pierson’s side. “Don’t worry, Old Madam. We’ve prepared their bedrooms. Moreover, this is supposed to be the young master and young madam’s quality time.” ”

Old Mrs. Pierson glanced at Butler Hubert and nodded approvingly. Butler Hubert had redeemed himself.

Meanwhile, Penny darted her eyes between the butler and the old madam. ‘For some reason…” she thought. I sense there’s more I have to expect tonight.‘

And for some reason as well, she suddenly felt a sense of danger in her heart.

‘Oh, god…‘ Penny watched as Old Mrs. Pierson’s attitude made a complete turn, telling them she would call for them once she was finished.

With that, the doctor and Butler Hubert assisted the old madam back inside the mansion. As for Zoren and Penny, they could only watch the group with conflicted feelings.

“Hey,” she called quietly without taking her eyes off them. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“Hmm?” Zoren also kept his gaze on them.

“I think Butler Hubert just said something to Grandma.”

He nodded. “I don’t feel good about this. It feels like an omen.”

“Exactly my thoughts.”

The question in her head wouldn’t take long to be answered once Old Mrs. Pierson started bragging about their special love nest in this mansion.
