Pampered By My Three Brothers: The Return Of The Neglected Heiress - Chapter 1111

Chapter 1111: An intimate dinner? A movie night? What is it?
“What’s that all about?” Penny mumbled to herself, hugging her knees as she sat in the tub. “Don’t tell me he’s going to feed me again. We just had dinner.”

When Zoren called her earlier and told her they were behind schedule, Penny was confused. But no matter what she asked, all she received was, “You’ll know. Rest for now and take a relaxing bath. I’ll pick you up when you’re ready.”

“Hm… come on, Penny, think!” She tapped her temple, guessing what this surprise could be.

After all, Penny was notorious for not liking surprises. But since her husband was behind this, she didn’t mind the slight mystery. Even so, she couldn’t help but make a few guesses.

“An intimate dinner?” she wondered. “Well, I wouldn’t mind another round of dinner for sure.”

Still, a part of her wasn’t convinced.

“A picnic?” she mused, only to shake her head. “Who would do a picnic in the middle of the night?”

“Then, is it…” Penny trailed off, shaking her head as she realized what she had in mind was food again. “That’s not it.”

Her right brow arched as an idea crossed her mind. “A movie night?” Penny rocked her head as if that was a possibility.

Throughout their relationship, Penny and Zoren had enjoyed a few movie nights together. But with his eye condition back then, she knew Zoren couldn’t fully enjoy them. How could he when he couldn’t even see her face up close? Penny even had to describe what was going on in the movie.

“It’s unfair to watch horror films with him when I only get to experience the jump scares,” she mumbled, giggling as she wondered what Zoren would do during a scare. “Hehe. A movie night it is!”

With that thought in mind, Penny happily continued her quick soak in the hot tub before jumping into the shower.

“I wonder what I should wear tonight?” she hummed as she wrapped her head with a towel and then tied her bathrobe. “We have plenty of couple shirts and costumes.”

As she walked out of the bathroom and headed to the bedroom, she stopped. Deep lines appeared between her brows as she narrowed her eyes at the clothes on the bed.

“Hmm?” Approaching it, she tilted her head to the side. “A dress for a movie night?”

Penny blinked, and with each blink, the idea of a movie night seemed less likely. “It’s dinner for sure,” she breathed out, shrugging indifferently before gazing at the red dress.

“Heh. I guess I don’t need to think which matchy clothes I’d wear,” she smirked, picking up the dress and changing into it. The dress was tight, displaying all the curves of her body. Even so, it was soft against her skin, feeling almost like she wasn’t wearing anything at all.

“I like it!” she grinned in front of the mirror, checking herself out. “Look at that. If Renren saw me in this, he’d probably dream about it for years.”

Satisfied, Penny applied some red lipstick and tied her hair back. She didn’t put on much makeup—not because she couldn’t or didn’t want to, but because sometimes simplicity was best. Besides, the dress was so beautiful that it didn’t need much else.

Once Penny finished her look, she stood in front of the mirror again.

“Dang…” she giggled. “Lily would be screaming if she saw me. Hehe.”

She stared at herself, smiling and posing, admiring her reflection. However, the satisfied smile on her face gradually faded away.

“I think… it’s my first time truly seeing myself in the mirror,” she whispered, gazing at her reflection. Her brows rose slightly as she cupped her face, her eyes softening as she admired herself more intimately.

What she meant wasn’t the literal sense—Penny, of course, looked at herself in the mirror every day. It was just that she had never truly admired herself before. She would be satisfied with her look, particularly her dress, but it wasn’t like this. She was confident, even though she wasn’t particularly a fan of her appearance. Yet, there was a different satisfaction as this realization dawned on her.

“I’m pretty too, huh?” she murmured, her eyes falling on the dress Zoren had likely chosen for her. “He really does bring out the feminine side of me… maybe even the vulnerable side, but that’s kind of fine.”

Knock knock.

The faint knock at the door interrupted her thoughts. She quickly turned, smiling from ear to ear.

He’s here.

Penny rushed to the door, but stopped just before opening it. She straightened her back, cleared her throat, and recomposed herself. When she opened the door, there stood her dashing husband in a formal tuxedo.

“Well, hello there,” she greeted, biting her lip to keep herself from smiling too widely.

Zoren stood frozen, his eyes scanning her face before they dropped to her body and heels. When he looked back up at her, his mouth opened, but no words came out.

He had to force himself to say, “Wow… you are… stunning,” or else he might end up just staring at her in a trance.

“Thank you,” Penny giggled. “You look very fine yourself.”

“Thank you,” he returned, mentally telling himself to get it together. Even though the bed was just a few steps away and that dress looked like it might add beauty to the floor, he could hold off on that for now.

Zoren flashed his wife a charming smile and offered his hand to her. “Shall we?”

“Goodness,” she blurted out under her breath, raising a hand to him as she hid her face behind the door. ‘Kyaah! How can he be so gorgeous?’

After the mental scream, Penny managed to compose herself. She revealed herself again, wearing a short, controlled smile. Slowly, she clasped his hand and nodded.

“Take me,” she said. “Wherever that is.”

“It’s a short walk, so don’t worry.”

“Even if it’s not, I don’t mind.”

“In those heels?”

“Even in these heels,” she quipped, prompting him to return the joke. “The bed is just a few steps away from where I stand. Please behave yourself, Penelope.”

Penny giggled playfully while he chuckled.

“Come with me,” he said. “I’ll show you something.”

And with that, Zoren led the way, keeping his wife’s hand securely in his.
