Chapter 159 Penelope Washed His Hands and Made Soup for Him

"Ms. Sullivan, young master, we were wrong. Please, let bygones be bygones and forgive us this time!" Bryson's body was shaking like a sieve. He was slapping himself hard on the face while continuously apologizing to Penelope.

Bryson's wife also had a pale face, "Ms. Sullivan, young master, I was really just joking with you guys earlier, we truly didn't mean any harm! Could you please not hold it against us?"

"Dad, Mom, why did you apologize to this woman and that stupid cripple?! You said you would make them kneel and beg for mercy, you..."

Bryson was so anxious that he wanted to slap his precious son, but after raising his hand, he couldn't bear to bring it down, so he could only continue to cover his mouth.

"Ms. Sullivan, young master, please don't take George's words to heart. He was just talking nonsense, he didn't mean any harm! Yes, he dared to bully the young master, when we get back, I will definitely give him a severe lesson!" Bryson said with a serious tone.

Penelope didn't like to bully others with her power, but Bryson was really too much. There were some things she just had to say.

Her gaze slowly swept over the family of three, and finally, it landed on Bryson's son.

"Little one, Ethan's leg was indeed injured, but he is no less than any other child. He is smart, optimistic, and kind. He is the best child in the world! Therefore, you cannot mock or bully him because of his physical disability!"

The little boy looked at Penelope with a puzzled expression, "But he walks so awkwardly!"

"Would you have been upset if people had laughed at you because of your bad walking posture?"

After thinking for quite a while, the little boy finally spoke with some guilt, "I should have been very upset."

Penelope continued, "If you mock Ethan, he will also be very upset. So, you should apologize to him!"

The little boy seemed somewhat unwilling, but after thinking for a while, he felt that he might really be in the wrong. He pouted for a long time, and finally, he walked up to Ethan, awkwardly saying, "Ethan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bully you! Can we be good friends from now on? I won't make fun of your leg anymore!"

"Your mother... she was a good mother too. I shouldn't have spoken ill of her. I apologize to her as well."

Ethan was not a stingy child either. He generously grasped the little boy's extended hand, "George, I accept your apology!"

Ethan was bitten so badly that Penelope really felt heartbroken. But no matter how heartbroken she was, after all, George was just a child about four years old, she couldn't possibly let Ethan hit back.

The best outcome was that the children could let bygones be bygones and get along well.

In fact, no child is born beyond redemption. George was not inherently bad, it was just that his parents were too arrogant, which led him to develop an arrogant temperament as well.

Spoiling a child is like killing a child. If Bryson and the others continued to indulge him, he would become worse. But if they could teach him to be a good person, he would still be a good child.

"Penelope, I took you home."

"Mr. Murray, no need, today's matters have been troublesome enough..."

Everett glanced at Ethan, who was standing next to Penelope, and without a word, he picked him up and placed him in the back seat.

Penelope, "......"

Alright, she couldn't leave Ethan alone in a stranger's car.

Silently opening the car door, Penelope could only sit next to Ethan.

Penelope had thought that Everett was going to sit in the passenger seat, but to her surprise, he opened the rear car door and sat next to her.

Penelope suddenly felt the air around her become thin.

Bryson pitifully clung to the door, "Mr. Murray, this time, I really realize my mistake. I was stupid, I was blind, could you please spare me this time?"

"You didn't even need to take this year's bonus!"

If it were a normal day, if someone upset Everett, he would have thrown them into the Pacific Ocean directly. But he was in a good mood today, and he didn't want to make enemies for Penelope, so he showed rare mercy.

"What?!" Bryson looked at Everett in disbelief. After he realized what was happening, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Just a deduction of bonus, it proved that he didn't need to be fired, didn't need to be brutally treated, how fortunate!

Bryson expressed his deepest gratitude to Penelope and Everett, then silently returned to his wife's side, gently pulling her into his embrace.

Over the years, after he became wealthy, he indeed became arrogant. He was lost in the world of games and dazzled by wealth, he didn't even have time to properly accompany his family or educate his children.

Although the wild flowers by the roadside are fragrant, family is the most important thing. His son should also be properly educated, otherwise, if he becomes domineering, he might offend some important people in the future and cause big trouble!

Being gently embraced by Bryson, his wife couldn't help but tear up.

Was she ever naturally a harsh woman!

However, her husband's indifference, her child's mischief, and the overwhelming pressure all fell on her alone, causing her to become accustomed to using a domineering and arrogant facade to disguise herself. In the end, she could no longer find the once innocent and kind self she used to be.

She suddenly felt a bit grateful to Penelope, grateful for today's embarrassment.

People often lost themselves when they were at the top.

Occasionally falling into the mud allowed one to see oneself clearly.

Zackary stood at the car door, maintaining the pose of pinching the cigarette, listening to Everett say he was Ethan's father, watching the family of three leave together.

It was not until the burning cigarette butt seared his palm that he jolted awake.

He, like a psychologically twisted stalker, got in the car, closely followed behind Everett Lawrence, and trailed them all the way to the neighborhood where Penelope was currently residing.

Everett followed Penelope upstairs. He waited downstairs like a fool for one hour, then two, but Everett still did not come down.

Thinking about the long period of time and the things that could have happened between a man and a woman, Zackary was on the verge of breaking down.

A month ago, she was still having Ethan call Lyman 'Dad'. Now, she's started having him recognize Everett as his father. How many fathers does she want to find for Ethan before she's satisfied!

Zackary fiercely punched the wall beside him, fresh streaks of blood seeping out, yet he seemed completely oblivious.

In the end, he couldn't restrain his nearly frenzied irritability and made a call to his elder brother, Dylan.

"Big brother, I don't care how you do it, get Everett to come to you immediately!" After saying this, Zackary hung up the phone directly.

Dylan, "..." Being the eldest brother is so tough, being bossed around by people every day.

After seeing Everett leave the neighborhood, Dylan crushed the cigarette in his hand, turned around, and started walking into the neighborhood.

Samuel had already figured out Penelope's house number, he wanted to find her, it was a piece of cake.

When Everett left just now, he left his coat in Penelope's small apartment. Hearing the doorbell, she thought he had come back for his coat. She didn't even look through the peephole, she just opened the door directly.

Unexpectedly, the one standing at the door was Zackary.

As soon as Penelope opened the door, Zackary saw a table full of food on the living room dining table. Thinking of the time when she was with him, she never lifted a finger, yet she was now cooking soup and preparing meals to please another man. Zackary's eyes turned red instantly.

Gassy.
