245 Since when did I get married?
“Penny!”
Penny jolted in surprise as she sat in front of the vanity, turning her head toward the door. Her face twisted when her eyesnded on ter, fumi
in the doorway.
“Wha–what?!” she raised her voice defensively. “I didn’t cat the choctes in the fridge! Just- just one!”
ter’s face turned even redder. “You didn’t just take my car; you also ate my choctes?!” All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
“What?! I didn’t eat the choctes! I borrowed them, just like your car!”
“Can you give my choctes back?!”

“Why are you so mean to me again?!” Penny dramatically eximed, her voice echoing through the mansion. “You told me before I don’t need to ask for permission anymore!”
“That’s it! You’re dead today!”
Meanwhile, everyone else was already in the dining room for breakfast. As ate peacefully as if he couldn’t hear the escting chaos from upstairs. Hugo, on the other hand, nced worriedly
at the entrance.
<b>As </b>for Allison and Charles, they tried to ignore it. Allison couldn’t help but smile, but the more Charles heard his children’s banter, the more the veins in his forehead protruded.
“Third–ter! Now you’ve done it!” Penny’s voice echoed.
Haines chuckled while enjoying his coffee, shaking his
head. “What a nice morning.”
“It’s been a while since our house was this lively, Allison chuckled. “Charles, it’s alright. Don’t worry about Penny.”
“That brat… how dare he raise his voice at my princess?” Charles ground his teeth and red at the entrance. “ter Be! Leave your sister alone!”
“Charles, let them be. They’re adults. I’m sure they’ll eventually talk it out peacefully…” Allison trailed off when she heard ter squealing like a pig being ughtered.
“I’m worried,” Hugo said, gazing at the entrance. “ter might die. I’m going to check <b>on </b>them<b>.” </b>
With that, Hugo pushed himself up and sauntered out of the dining room. Everyone except As followed Hugo’s figure with their gaze.
“That’s it!” Charles tossed his napkin <b>on </b>the table. “Penny just arrived, and he’s already making her want to leave.
After saying that, Charles also rose from his seat to give ter a piece of his mind. Allison automatically followed her husband out of concern.

The only ones left behind were As and
“Uncle, aren’t you going to check?” As asked out of
pure curiosity.
Hainesughed. “I’ve got a bad knee, and I don’t want to go up and down the stairs. But I know ter will live if he’s still screaming like that.
“I see. Anyway, has Penny told you about her n<b>?</b>”
“It’s not a bad idea. Haines shrugged. “If you approved it, then I see no problem with it. Did you tell your father?”
“Yes.” As nodded before ncing under the table. “Your leg–what happened to it?”
“I told you,” Haines smiled. “It’s a bad bone.”
“I see.” As nodded again and didn’t press further.
Haines maintained a smile at Charles’s eldest, knowing that As never truly bought that excuse. However, Haines found it unnecessary to disclose more to As for now, considering As was still under pressure from the elders.
“As,” Haines called, waiting for his nephew to look at him. “Your father might’ve said it many times, but don’t bend to the elders. Just treat it as their way of showing affection.”
“Is this the same pressure you and Dad went through?”
“Worse.” Haines chuckled. “Your father probably had it worse. If not for Charles, I could imagine us not being on good terms. The elders think having a rival makes the head stronger.
As nodded in understanding. “I understand, Uncle. Thank you<b>.</b>”
Meanwhile, when Hugo arrived at Penny’s room, Butler Jen was already standing outside. Seeing the nervous look on Butler Jen’s face, Hugo hastened his steps. Following behind him were Charles and Allison. Upon seeing Hugo stop by the door, they quickly reached Penny’s room.
The couple halted at the sight before them.
Inside Penny’s room, feathers were flying and floating in the air. Penny and ter were holding each other by the cor, with ter clutching a pillow in his other hand. Both were panting, looking at the door.
“Dad!!” Penny shouted while a little blood dripped from ter’s nose. “Look what he did to room!”
my
ter clenched <b>his </b>teeth and swung the pillow at her face. “You don’t even want to apologize! Still lying about the choctes!”
Penny red at him as the pillow dropped to her feet. “You-”
“Enough!” Hugo shouted, knowing his father was too old for this. His shout made the two freeze, only for them to startining about each other again.

in it!”
“I filled the tank!”
“I said, go!” This time, Hugo’s eyes zed as he red at them. “Meet me in the driveway and wear your shoes.”
Penny and ter red at each other spitefully before releasing each other.
Charles, on the other hand, just tapped his second son’s back. “You got this, son.”
Allison was a little worried about her daughter and third son. As for Butler Jen, he could only shake his head. It had only been one day since they were living under the same roof again, and this had already happened.
Surely, Penny and ter’s rtionship hadn’t changed.
One second, they loved each other to death. The next, they were trying to kill each other. 2 Good thing they had big brothers to discipline them because their parents weren’t getting any
younger.
‘It’s a good thing Sir Charles took his maintenance early today.‘
To sort out Penny and ter’s grievances, Hugo made them run around the mansion twenty times. Penny and ter were both fit, and asking them to run ap or two wouldn’t cool their heads. When both of them calmed down, ter took Penny to the garage and cried about the tiny scratch on the car. ?
Penny apologized and cajoled ter. ter also apologized for barging into her room.
And like magic, the two of them were best friends again.
Everyone in the family could only shake their heads as the two happily ate breakfast as if they hadn’t been trying to kill each other moments ago.
Penny’s day started off… mundane.
Fighting with ter was amon urrence, so much so that she didn’t even need to look. back at how many times they had fought and made up over the years. He was the only brother,
up perhaps the only person in the world, who could rile her like that.
Even so, her ns for the day didn’t change… until thest minute.
Scated in her car, Penny stared at the marriage printouts in her hand. “This is impossible,” she breathed out. “Since when did I get married?”
