Penny ate with grace, never forgetting her table manners. At the same time, she ate happily. She had been outside, running here and there, with some additional stress from Benjamin and Zoren, leaving arge space to fill in her stomach.
Even so, Penny didn’t serve herself much. She could always eat more once she got home. With that thought in mind, Penny ate her food slowly, savoring the taste. While Old Mrs. Pierson was talking, Penny continued to eat steadily. Before she knew it, her te was almost empty.
That’s enough, Penny. It’s okay. You can eat <i>more </iter,‘ she told herself, and then she slowly cut smaller pieces just to enjoy it a little longer.
“During my time, I also had to deal with troubled men…” Old Mrs. Pierson continued her story, barely touching her food. It was obvious she was enjoying talking to Penny more than eating. “But back then, men weren’t as open as they are nowadays…”
Penny smiled subtly, feeling a little disheartened as she nced at the tiny piece of meat on her fork. She wanted it to be ten times bigger, but she didn’t want to embarrass herself.
“Hehe… yes, Grandma,‘ she replied, keeping herself engaged in the conversation.
Zoren, on the other hand, raised his brows while observing Penny’s movements. Since their seats were right beside each other, he could see how her pace had slowedpared to a few minutes ago, and how her te was almost empty.
Suddenly, he got a whiff of the strong gloominessing from her.
‘Does she want more?‘ he wondered.
He fluttered his eyshes and quietly drew a spare te closer. He didn’t think much about. what dish she might want and simply took the closest one to him. After slicing the meat <b>and </b>filling the te, he cast Penny a quick nce.
She was still talking to Old Mrs. Pierson, her attention now entirely on his grandmother.
Without a word, Zoren took her te.
His action caught her attention, but when Penny turned her head to him, all she saw was him cing another te full of food in front of her.
“You…‘she nced up at him, but his expression didn’t change in the slightest. Renren, <i>I’ll </i>protect you <i>all </i>your <i>life</i>!” Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Hope and happiness swelled in her chest, and Penny quickly forked another piece of meat. Her cheeks turned red as her eyes gleamed, savoring the taste and then habitually forking out more.
slices of meat.
The servants watched this warm scene unfold until they noticed something peculiar.
Penny had been eating continuously, never once asking for seconds. However, they never saw her pause or stop eating gracefully. And yet, she never seemed to finish the food on her te.

As they wondered what sorcery they were witnessing, their gaze remained on her te.
The food on her te was now half gone, and as they watched her fork another piece, they counted how many were left. But then, suddenly, just when they blinked, the portions doubled.
Some of them even rubbed their eyes, thinking they were just being too silly to focus on such a trivial thing. But they weren’t wrong! Penny’s te seemed bottomless. And while everyone was in the midst of processing the situation, they saw a pair of cutlery cing more food on her te.
Slowly, the servants shifted their eyes to the chair right beside Penny’s.
There, Zoren was stacking up some empty tes on the side. He wasn’t eating anymore. He was simply there to refill Penny’s te, quietly and professionally.
“Our Young Master truly cherishes his wife, one servant wept, moved to tears.
Another one nodded, covering her lips. “He must be taking care of his wife.”
“What a lovely couple, they all sighed in unison.
Initially, finding out that Zoren was refilling his wife’s te to help her maintain her modesty touched their hearts. In their eyes, Zoren truly cherished his
Wife and was serving her. However, the higher the stack of empty tes grew and the more food disappeared from the table, the more they felt less moved and more mystified!
Even Butler Hubert widened his eyes, darting them between Zoren and Penny. “What’s going on?” he gasped in surprise.
Where was the <i>food </i>going?
Penny never stopped eating, and Zoren never stopped putting food on her te. Old Mrs. Pierson never stopped talking! The three of them seemed to be prioritizing three different things, but somehow, they were all in sync.
“Wow…” one of the servants‘ jaws hit the floor. “The Young Madam’s appetite… is amazing”
“Back then, even if we had ten guests, I doubt they’d even finish half of this. But now…” The servants gulped together<b>, </b>noting that only about 40% of the food was left. Even if Penny couldn’t finish it all, she had already eaten so much!
“Fufufu-” The more Penny ate, the happier she became. With Zoren kindly refilling her te, she was able to focus on Old Mrs. Pierson.
Old Mrs. Pierson, on the other hand, was simply d at how well Penny was eating. “Hehe. My dear child wasn’t lying when she said she eats everything!” Her smile stretched. “How refreshing<b>. </b>Your husband used to hate food back then. Fortunately, he eventually found it in his heart to see
that food is necessary.”
“Hehehe. Penny just chuckled while chewing.
< 205 Were they expecting?
Old Mrs. Pierson eximed, eating happily, a little surprised at how the food tasted ten times
better than usual.
As for Zoren, he would simply take a bite from his te before refocusing on feeding his wife. He didn’t show the slightest trace of stopping until Penny stopped him.
Meanwhile, the servants, who were still watching, couldn’t help but wonder what to feel. As they processed the situation, someone quictly blurted out,
“Is the Young Madam pregnant?”
The servant’s voice was very quiet, and she only intended to keep that question to herself. When <b>she </b>realized she had spoken her thoughts aloud, she quickly covered her mouth. Slowly, she watched as all the servants, including Butler Hubert, looked at her in shock.
<i>Were </i>they… expecting <b><i>a </i></b>little young master <i>soon</i>?
