"I can see you very clearly... finally. And God, my wife is gorgeous!"
Penny’s mouth fell open, wide-eyed. With all the scribbles on her face, she looked like a clown. She blinked and blinked, staring at the majestic beauty inches from her. Her heart began to beat loudly in her chest until she heard it sound like:
DUN DUN DUN DUN!!!
Penny gasped as she realized what she actually looked like at that moment. It was far from the way she’d described it to Zoren. Without thinking, Penny pushed herself away from him. She jumped from her spot, ready to flee to the bathroom to get rid of this abominable art on her face.
That Slater Bennet! He better prepare for round two!
But just as Penny turned around to run, Zoren swiftly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. With his movement, Penny fell back on the bed while he intuitively held her body still.
Her eyes shook a little as her breath caught in her throat. Slowly, she looked up at him, realizing their faces were inches apart again.
"Don’t go," he said with a smile. "Don’t hide. That scribbling isn’t enough to hide your beauty."
Her face twitched a little; those words sounded so familiar. "He... he... Renren, I... I know I’m not ugly, but this drawing is horrible. I don’t want our first meeting to be looking at this—"
The rest of her words were cut off as he suddenly leaned in for a kiss. Her already mortified expression stiffened as her dilated eyes almost popped out of their sockets. For a second, her mind went blank, watching him pull his head back like a fool.
Zoren smiled subtly, brushing a few stray hairs from her face with the back of his hand. "It’s better than I expected," he said, referring to their first meeting. "It’s perfect."
"..." Penny blinked, her mind still buffering.
"Stay with me for a while. I’ve been waiting for you," he requested charmingly. "Will you? Please?"
"Oh, my God..." she blurted out under her breath, only realizing now that since he could see, he would be able to see all her shenanigans as well!
She hadn’t brainwashed him enough for him to want to start her own cult!
’Weren’t you trying to help him regain his vision?’ asked the tiny devil on her shoulder. ’Why are you reacting this way? You should be happy!’
’Can’t you understand?’ the tiny angel on the other side tilted her head to look at the tiny devil. ’It’s because the time they were together while he was blind isn’t enough for her brainwashing! Penny, how about you put a blindfold on him?’
’Isn’t that supposed to be my line?’ the tiny devil wondered, getting a little confused at their roles.
Meanwhile, Renny and Chunchun, who were still in the room, cocked their heads to the side at the same time.
’Even her guardian angel and devil are getting confused,’ Chunchun yawned, feeling sorry for them because of Penny’s fickleness.
Renny, on the other hand, squinted its eyes in happiness. ’I’m so happy for them~! I hope they give me extra treats! That Jonathan Pierson’s leg looks juicy!’
Unaware of all of this, the couple stared at each other in silence. Zoren couldn’t help but grin until his eyes looked like mere slits, keeping his arm securely around her. Penny, on the other hand, was going through ten levels of hell and heaven all at the same time in the span of minutes.
"Huh?" Penny blinked, staring at him as his hand rested inches from the side of her head while his other hand remained on her waist.
Zoren breathed in and out heavily in relief. When he stabilized his breathing, a smile crept on his face. Now he could celebrate with her.
"I—"
CLANG!
Whatever Zoren wanted to say halted at the sound of something falling. Penny and Zoren intuitively turned their heads to where the sound came from. As soon as they did, their eyes caught a figure standing by the door, and the paper bag he was carrying now lay on the floor.
Benjamin.
Benjamin stood by the door with wide eyes. He darted between Penny and Zoren, then glanced at their position. Penny was lying on the bed while Zoren was on top of her.
"..." Benjamin suddenly covered his mouth in shock, his eyes shining with what seemed to be tears. If one didn’t know better, this scene would easily give the impression that Benjamin had just walked in on his husband cheating!
"Hah!" Benjamin dramatically scoffed, turning to run away from the scene.
Zoren: "Is he crying just now...?"
"Renren, are you sure you didn’t have a history with him?" Penny asked, eyes still on the door. "For some reason, I feel like we were just caught red-handed by the first wife."
