Chapter 80

Penny did not want Nathan to help her in the living room, and hence, she headed into the bedroomfirst.

Shortly after, Nathan entered with a bottle of medication.

The two sat on the bedside as Nathan rolled her sleeves up. He applied the ointment on the spotswhere she was obviously bruised.

Then, he lifted her right leg and placed it on his lap. Carefully, he rolled up her pants and sighed softlyas he spotted the few abrasions and bruises on her leg.

Pouring a few drops of ointment into his palms, he cautiously rubbed it onto her injured leg.

Penny observed his expressions up-close. He looked serious yet hurt at the same time.

They all said that men were the most attractive when they were serious.

Penny could not agree more with this statement. Furthermore, she realized the more she looked athim, the more manly and tasteful he looked, even though on first impressions, that might not be thecase. Perhaps this was what others termed as ‘good-looking!’

Her eyes were affixed on his face, while her mind continued to drift in her fantasy.

“Does it hurt?” Nathan raised his head occasionally and asked.

Acting as though she was caught in the act, her cheeks turned bright red and she quickly replied in astunned manner, “No...It doesn’t.”

Nathan smiled and said, “Alright, it’s done. I will take a shower. You should head to bed first.”

Just as he was about to leave, Penny suddenly suggested, “You should sleep with Queenie tonightagain.”

Nathan gave her a meaningful look upon hearing this.

With her flushed cheeks, she said, albeit in a slightly embarrassed tone, “Don’t misunderstand. I justworry that she would throw a tantrum again if she knew you slept in the guest bedroom.”

“Alright then,” Nathan agreed with a wide smile.

...

The next morning.

Mia from the BMW showroom parked a new M760li xDrive outside of Nathan’s house. She had alreadycompleted all of the paperwork and got the temporary license for him.

This was the fourth BMW which Nathan had bought from her this month.

Now, she only had one impression of him – wealthy and generous.

After Nathan paid for the car, he took the keys and sent his daughter to school before driving Pennyand himself to the Cross Corporation.

After the cash line issues were resolved, the company went fully-operational.

Most of the residences in Asiatic Village were demolished and the construction was headed for thesecond stage. They were going to start gathering a team of engineers to build the Asiatic ShoppingMall.

In the afternoon, the couple went to a small-scaled restaurant for lunch.

Even though Penny was born into a wealthy family, she had a hard time all these years and hence, wasa thrifty person.

She ordered a few simple dishes when having lunch with Nathan and even took the free soup whichthe restaurant offered. It was no different from a normal white-collar worker.

Similarly, Nathan was not picky about food. During his military days, he ate the same food as hissoldiers, and on certain days, he would even eat wild plants and fruits too.

The two of them ate to their hearts’ content even though it was a cheap and quick meal.

However, just as they were engrossed in their honeymoon moment, a woman’s voice could be heardsaying, “Damn, isn’t this Penny Smith? The belle of our university? Why are you here for such a cheapmeal?”

Nathan instantly frowned. His eyes followed Penny’s gaze towards the woman who spoke, only to seea curly-haired woman who was wearing sunglasses.

The woman was decked out in a luxury-branded dress. While she had the looks, her face was coveredwith heavy makeup and a strong perfume scent emanated from her. All she looked was unfashionableand plain.

This was none other than Penny’s archenemy in university - Lulu McDonald.
