Pampered By My Three Brothers: The Return Of The Neglected Heiress - Chapter 505 505

Chapter 505: Renren, don’t seduce me!
Meanwhile…

Zoren and Old Mrs. Pierson sat in her room. Unlike the lively energy she had shown around Penny, Old Mrs. Pierson now wore a stern, determined look.

“Renren, I know you and my dearest Penelope have been trying for the past five years,” she began seriously. “Though you haven’t been blessed yet, I think this needs more than prayers.”

Zoren raised an eyebrow as Old Mrs. Pierson snapped her fingers. At her signal, a servant on standby approached, carrying a tray, and placed it on the table between them. The servant carefully poured tea into a cup and set it in front of Zoren.

“Renren, this is no ordinary tea!” Old Mrs. Pierson declared. “This tea will help you tonight.”

“And how is it supposed to help me?” he asked.

Old Mrs. Pierson grinned. “It’s good for the body and your… performance. Since you’ve been ill and taken so much medication throughout your life, this will cleanse your system. It’ll also, ah… get you in the mood.”

“I don’t need it,” Zoren replied flatly, batting his eyelashes softly. “I’m always in the mood.”

His comment caused the servant to blush and quickly turn her head away.

“That’s not what I meant!” Old Mrs. Pierson waved her hand irritably. “Tsk, tsk. This is why I say you’re still too innocent.”

She wanted to add something like, ‘I pity my little Penelope,’ or ‘Are you even giving her a satisfying experience?’ But instead of criticizing her grandson, she knew she had to guide him in the right direction.

‘I never thought I’d have to have this conversation with him,’ she sighed internally. ‘But I can’t let Penny leave him because he’s underperforming.’

“Renren, this tea will keep you going all night.” Old Mrs. Pierson leaned in, her hand cupped beside her mouth as she whisper-yelled. Then she leaned back and huffed. “Some women take longer to… be satisfied. Penny might not say anything because she’s understanding and aware of your condition, but you can’t neglect your wife’s needs.”

“This tea will help with that,” she assured him.

“Is it an aphrodisiac?”

“No, no! It has a similar effect, but this is much better!”

“Ah…” Zoren nodded in understanding. “I think I get what you mean now, Grandma.”

“Good!” she exclaimed. “Now, drink it while Penny is still freshening up.”

Zoren smiled at his grandmother before glancing down at the tea in front of him. He reached for the cup, holding it close. Though his vision was still poor, he stared at his distorted reflection in the tea until it stilled.

After a long, cold shower, Penny’s body finally returned to its normal temperature. Standing in front of the full-body mirror, she nodded in satisfaction. Her hair was still damp, but she was making sure she was “geared” for the night.

And by gear, she meant protected.

“A long pajama set, a big, loose shirt, and undies!” she nodded, pleased with herself. “Good thing I didn’t bring a nightdress tonight.”

Normally, Penny didn’t wear underwear to bed, preferring to sleep with as little clothing as possible. But tonight, she was doing her best to cover up as much as possible.

“I’ll be fine.” She nodded again, smiling to herself. “I mean, he’ll be fine. His health comes first, before my desires!”

Humans may be driven by instinct, but that didn’t mean she had to give in to hers. Between her and Zoren, someone needed to have self-control, and that someone would have to be her.

With that thought in mind, Penny happily skipped to the sink to blow dry her hair. She filled her mind with positive thoughts, keeping herself calm. Once she was done, she took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom.

She was ready to sleep.

But as soon as she stepped out, Penny froze, her eyes widening at the sight of the room. She blinked several times, even rubbing her eyes.

‘Am I in the same room?!’ she gasped in horror.

Unlike before, when she had entered the bathroom, the room was now transformed. Candles lit the space softly, the dim lights creating a warm ambiance. Rose petals were scattered across the floor, and soft music was playing in the background.

Her eyes landed on the small table, where two empty wine glasses and a bottle of wine sat, alongside some snacks.

“When did they transform the room?” she whispered in disbelief, only to notice a pair of crossed legs behind the table.

Slowly, she raised her gaze, finally locking eyes with Zoren. He had returned early. Zoren was lounging on the couch, his long leg casually resting over the other. His blazer suit draped on the armrest, leaving him in just his dress shirt and vest.

His thick, long lashes fluttered as he smiled at her.

‘Uh oh,’ she whispered internally as her heart began to race. She gulped audibly, her body slowly heating up again despite her recent cold shower.

‘Why does he have to be so sexy and attractive?!’

In a room designed for intimacy, her cheeks reddened. Zoren wasn’t doing much—just sitting casually—but to her, he resembled a statue from a museum: a work of art whose mere presence was captivating.

‘So much for thinking rationally and self-control when the first thing I’d want to do is jump him,’ she sighed, raising her brows when she saw him pat the space next to him. “Renren, don’t seduce me!”

Zoren chuckled. “Am I?”

“Tsk!” she huffed, dragging her feet toward him. But as soon as she was close enough, he reached out and swiftly pulled her onto his lap.

“Ah—!” she yelped, her eyes momentarily wide with surprise. When she regained her composure, she glanced up at him, only to find a devious smirk on his lips.

“It’s been a while since we’ve had time alone, just the two of us,” he murmured in a low voice, twirling a strand of her hair between his fingers. His dark eyes drooped dangerously as he brought her hair closer to his nose. “I didn’t realize how much I’d missed you until now, even though we’ve been together all this time.”
