Chapter 305

Eason gazed at Penny, “We’ve noticed your anxiety. Actually, to ease your worries, Mom and Dad have gone to great lengths. You always thought Mom loved sour foods, right? That’s not really true. She started saying that after you overdid the vinegar in your first solo attempt at cooking fish. You were disappointed, thinking it was ruined because it was too sour. To spare your feelings, Mom chimed in, claiming she liked sour things. That fish was incredibly sour, but Mom courageously ate a whole bowl just to make you feel better.”

Penny’s eyes flickered, “I always thought Mom was really into sour foods.”

Eason raised an eyebrow, “You really think Dad likes morning runs, so you get up early to join him every

day? Truth is, when you first came, you were skinny and didn’t look too healthy. So, Dad started taking you on those morning jogs to help you get in shape.”

Penny’s face turned pale.

She had never known these things.

“So, Penny,” Eason let out a sigh, “you’re part of our family, always have been, always will be. You can

count on that. Susan’s my sister, and so are you. You two aren’t at odds with each other. The reason

Mom snapped at you today is because she considers you a real part of the family, so she didn’t

sugarcoat anything. You get what I’m saying?”

Penny nodded vaguely.

Eason calmly got ready to take his leave.

As she watched him walk away, Penny felt an indescribable impulse stirring within her.

She found herself asking, “Eason, what about you? How do you feel about me?”

Right after Penny spoke, she immediately regretted her words.

What’s wrong with her today?

She said a lot of things she shouldn’t have.

She glanced at Eason with a hint of apprehension, afraid he might have seen the embarrassing thoughts she was trying to hide.

Eason, unfazed, responded firmly, “Don’t worry about it. I see you as my real sister.”

After saying that, Eason left.

Penny felt even more dazed.

Eason saw her as his real little sister.

Thus,

she should be happy.

But she wasn’t.

What should she do?

She wanted to remain with the Nicholas family, continuing to play the role of their little princess.

But she didn’t want to be Eason’s sister anymore..

What on earth should she do?

Penny spent the night tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

A sword of Damocles was hanging over her head.

She was the one who had secretly stashed away the test report.

Eason had not yet recalled that month’s memory,

But considering Eason went to the lengths of running that test, he must’ve been in touch with Susan that month. What if Susan spilled everything about what happened?

If Eason got his memory back, he’d notice the missing memos on his phone and figure out that the

crucial test report was stashed away by her.

He said he saw her as a real sister.

He said Alexander and Judith saw her as their own daughter.

She didn’t believe it before.

But after Eason spoke to her, she believed it.

However, it was too late.

She had already made a mistake.

Once Susan spilled the beans about that month to Eason, he’d realize just how low and self–centered

she was.

Would he still treat her as his real sister?

Would Alexander and Judith still see her as their own daughter?

She didn’t dare to gamble.

Penny bit her teeth tightly..

Susan was always a ticking time bomb for her.

Even though it might not go off, the mere chance of it was enough; she couldn’t let any accidents.

happen.

The Nicholas family was too important to her.

She couldn’t bear to think how she’d feel if she left the Nicholas family and Eason looked at her with

disdain.

For her, it was nothing short of the end of the world.

Penny panicked and terrified. But she didn’t know what to do.

Targeting Susan again?

That would only speed up the disdain.

Pleasing Susan?

Wouldn’t that be too demeaning?

Penny had a dream that night.

In her dream, the Nicholas family looked at her with disdain. Despite her desperate attempts to explain and win them over, they just looked on with detachment, without saying a word.

When she woke up the next day, Penny still remembered that feeling of despair.

She was in a daze for a long time before she slowly got up.

If playing low was the key, then that’s what she’d do.

Now, getting on good terms with Susan had become her only way out.

Getting along well with Susan would make everyone happy.

Then she would be able to stay in the Nicholas residence.

For now… let it be.

Penny knew she had made a mistake the night before. So today, she had to behave well to make up for

her mistake.

Early in the morning, Penny had prepared gifts for her apology.

d prepared gifts for her apology.

As Judith and Eason came downstairs, she quickly blurted out, “Mom, Eason, I’ve reconsidered. I was overthinking things earlier. I’ll make it up to Susan later. Can you guys take a look and see if these gifts are okay?”

Penny spoke sincerely, without any reluctance.

Judith’s face softened a bit as she glanced over the gifts, then said, “Susan isn’t in need of anything; the gifts themselves aren’t what matter most. It’s the thought behind them that counts.”

“I understand. I will apologize properly,” Penny hurriedly replied..

“That’s good to hear,” Judith said, feeling relieved as she gave her hand a reassuring pat.

“I’ve got to go,” Penny said.

“Let’s go, I’ll come with you,” Judith said with a smile.

“Let’s go together,” Eason raised his eyebrows.

Penny nodded obediently.

At the Landor residence, Penny approached Susan, gave a small bow, and said earnestly, “Mrs. Landor, I

owe you an apology. Yesterday, I let my fear of losing my place in the Nicholas family cloud my judgment, and I acted unfairly toward you. I know I was wrong. I’m not expecting forgiveness, but I promise to prove my sincerity through my actions moving forward.”

Penny’s apology was very earnest.

Susan was taken aback for a second, then replied, “Miss Nicholas, no need to be so formal. It was just a bit of a verbal spat.”

Penny shook her head, “I know how despicable I was last night, I’m so jealous that even I can’t stand myself.”

Penny spoke so gravely that Susan was taken aback, “It’s not that serious…”

“Either way, I’m committed to making changes,” Penny declared resolutely..

Susan was at a loss for words.

She suddenly felt a bit panicked.

Judith, however, looked on with satisfaction.

She said warmly, “Susan, Penny is really a good kid at heart. I’ve given her a talking–to about yesterday, and she understands she was wrong. I’m confident her apology is sincere.”

Penny nodded again and again.

She was indeed very sincere.

To stay in the Nicholas residence, to not lose their favor, she had to give her all.

Now, Susan was key.

She had no choice but to be sincere.

Seeing Penny’s earnest expression, Susan felt somewhat embarrassed.

She had just silently added Penny to the list of people to avoid last night, and today, here she was,

making such a gesture.

Was it really her who was being too petty?
