Chapter 445

Seeing Pennleigh and Hesper coming back together, Isobella smiled, walked over, and hold Hesper's hand.

"Hesper, Penn is really a clingy kid, huh? As soon as you left, he immediately wanted to go find you. I stopped him, but he actually snuck out."

Pennleigh cleared his throat. "Mom, can you not embarrass me?"

As he said so, Pennleigh winked at Hesper twice. She knew that it was probably because Rickard went after her, so Pennleigh chased out because he was worried, so she grinned knowingly. From Isobella's perspective, it could be regarded as affection.

"Okay, alright, you youngsters should know what's best for you." Isobella held Hesper's arm. "Did Penn tell you about dessert making just now? What kind of dessert do you like? I'll get the kitchen crew to make some for you. And let's stay here for the night. We live quite far from the city, so it's not safe for a young girl like you to go back at night."

Living there was of course equivalent to living with Pennleigh. When Hesper decided to come here, she had already thought about this possibility, so she nodded happily. "I know how to make some snacks too so why don't I go and help in the kitchen? I don't really have much to do here anyway."

The main thing was that she was worried that Rickard would catch up to her and go crazy again later on.

"Oh, you even know how to cook? It seems that Penn has really found a bargain." Isobella and Hesper walked into the kitchen as she complimented her. While Pennleigh stood in place and turned around, only to see Rickard pushing the door in.

"Mr. Pisano."

The youthfulness that Pennleigh always had on while Hesper was around instantly faded away, and he nodded slightly. "Mr. Duval, I don't think we've met before. It's really nice to finally meet you, and I look forward to learning from you wherever I can."

Rickard did not respond to his greeting. He could tell that Pennleigh was indeed interested in Hesper. It was just that Hesper could not feel it and thought that he was only acting with her.

In terms of social status, although Pennleigh ran Eustoma, it was still many levels inferior to the huge Duval Group, but Pennleigh did not show any sense of inferiority, perhaps because the less wit, the more courage.

"Why are you guys standing there?" Petruchio came over and patted Pennleigh on the shoulder. "I have to talk to Uncle Rickard first. you should come up later."

'Uncle Rickard...?'

Both Rickard and Pennleigh were stunned for a moment.

All of a sudden, Pennleigh was inexplicably one generation younger than his love rival, so he frowned and retorted, "Mr. Duval and I are only a little more than one year apart, so how is he my uncle?" Rickard was expressionless and turned his head away. "Mr. Pisano Sr., let's talk in your study. Besides, am I staying in the guest room tonight?"

"Mr. Duval is actually going to stay here?"

Petruchio took a glance at Pennleigh, who was acting a little abnormally, and explained, "Mr. Duval and I are friends, so it's only natural for him to be your uncle according to seniority... And Mr. Duval has some things to do in Fredonia recently, so he'll be staying here with us for a while more.

"What are the things that are keeping him here?" Pennleigh asked instantly.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Petruchio turned his head and apologized to Rickard, "I'm sorry. My son can be an extremely curious man at times."

Rickard nodded thoughtfully, then turned his head, gazed at Pennleigh, and said, “I'll never pettily argue with someone of the younger generation, let alone my nephew Pennleigh."

"Rickard Du..."

Before Pennleigh had time to say anything, Petruchio and Rickard had already walked away, leaving him alone, exasperated.

"Penn..."

Pennleigh did not know how long Aelinor had been standing beside him. She only came over after seeing Pennleigh exhale angrily and calm himself. "Penn, I'm staying here tonight. Can you bring me to the guest room?"
