Chapter 219 He was warm, flirtatious, and shameless

Penelope knew that Zackary didn't say this to deliberately deceive her.

Restoring Corona's face to its flawless state was really not easy.

Even with plastic surgery, it might not have been possible to restore it that well. Moreover, the shelf life of plastic surgery is limited. Over time, problems like facial stiffness could easily occur.

Zackary's mother, Cornelia, had once developed a type of ointment that could heal severe wounds without leaving any scars.

However, the medicinal materials required for that ointment were too rare, and the ointment was difficult to prepare, making it worth its weight in gold.

But Zackary was sure to get it from Cornelia.

Penelope wanted Corona's face to get better, but to actively kiss Zackary...

"Penelope, give me a kiss. Tomorrow, I will go to my mom's place to get the medicine!"

"Mr. Spencer, please..."

Before the word "again" could even leave his mouth, Zackary's lips had already pressed down.

Just like a long-awaited rain after a drought, he simply didn't want to let her go.

When Penelope was almost out of breath from the kiss, Zackary reluctantly let her go. He stared at her with burning eyes, his handsome face, as if finely crafted, wore a clear smirk. "Penelope, you kissed me first! Hmm, good performance. The medicine, I'll personally deliver it tomorrow."

Penelope, "..."

This person really, becoming more and more shameless, it was clearly him who took the initiative to kiss her, yet he insisted on blaming it on her, acting as if he was so innocent!

Zackary always gave off an impression of being aloof, profound, and unapproachable. He showed no warmth towards those he didn't care about. Yet, the colder the man, the more devoted he seemed to be.

If he truly fell in love with someone, he was really warm, flirtatious, and... quite shameless.

Four years ago, Zackary really had no shame in front of Penelope.

His eyes glowed green every day, staring at her like a wolf. His favorite thing was to take advantage of her shamelessly.

Thinking of Zackary's past shamelessness, Penelope's old face couldn't help but turn red.

Not wanting Zackary to notice her odd behavior, she turned her face away, no longer looking at him.

Zackary, however, precisely captured a hint of blush on Penelope's cheeks, she was shy.

When she used to be shy, her little face would blush like a peach blossom kissed by the spring breeze. That captivating color would drive people crazy, yet she always denied being shy, and would always try to hide it by turning her face to the side.

He really yearned to, just like before, gently cradle her face, and on it, recklessly indulge.

However, he was afraid that if he pushed too hard, he might end up driving her away. He forcefully suppressed this impulse.

After all, he would have the strong support of Ethan tomorrow, and she loved Ethan so much, she would definitely give him a chance.

Having dropped Penelope off at her small apartment, Zackary unusually bid her farewell in a gentlemanly manner. In fact, he wanted to give her a goodbye kiss, or perhaps do something more, but he was afraid that this shameless little woman would become angry out of embarrassment. So, he just took a little advantage by placing his hand on her waist.

Penelope had just entered the small apartment when her phone rang.

Seeing that the call was from Ethan, Penelope quickly picked it up.

"Mom, I saw that person today."

In Ethan's voice, there was a clear nervousness, "Mom, I called him dad, will you be angry?"

"Ethan, didn't you really dislike him? How could you call him dad? The things he did, don't you blame him?"

He caused Ethan to become a cripple, very likely, a cripple for life.

"I have despised him, resented him," Ethan paused softly, "but I love him more. Mom, am I very disappointing? He has given up on me, but I still want him to be my father."

"Mom, can we give Dad another chance? You've said it yourself, everyone makes mistakes, but as long as they can correct them, they're still a good person."

"Mom, Dad is willing to change, can he be my father again, please?"

"Ethan, I..." Listening to Ethan's voice full of anticipation, Penelope truly couldn't bring herself to say the words of rejection outright.

Those past memories, they really hurt too much. Now when I think about it, that pain, it still feels like a thousand arrows piercing my heart.

She couldn't forgive him so magnanimously, yet... she also couldn't continue to hate him with a heart as cold as iron.

"Ethan, let me think about it properly. You go to bed early, and I'll tell you tomorrow whether I'm willing to forgive him or not, okay?"

"Mom, you should rest early too. Mom, I love you."

Listening to Ethan's sweet voice, the corners of Penelope's lips couldn't help but lift.

Ethan had returned, and so had Corona. It was really good.

As for Zackary...

At that time, her mind was really in a mess, she didn't know how to face him.

Although the death of the child in her womb had nothing to do with Zackary, the fact that he had made Lola pregnant was a knot in her heart that she could not untie.

But think about it carefully, four years ago, she was actually at fault too.

Four years ago, although she was forced by Lola, Zackary was innocent. The hurtful words she said did indeed hurt him.

Should she really have given their love one last chance?

Zack, our love has been buried in the torrent of time. Those dead, crushed and scattered loves, can they really be rekindled from the ashes?

It was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Penelope was too upset, she lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

Later, she simply stopped torturing herself and grabbed her phone to watch some news.

"Throne" had officially announced her status as their spokesperson.

Compared to those female celebrities in the entertainment industry, she was incredibly transparent. Netizens didn't think highly of her, believing that she rose to fame through underhanded means. They thought she was completely unworthy of endorsing a game with such a high popularity among the public.

Moreover, internet celebrities are all flash in the pan. They might look good in heavily edited photos, but in real life, they might just scare people to death, right?!

Who would want to play a game and be scared by a face that had undergone plastic surgery to look like a shoe horn!

Penelope had registered a Twitter account before. After she became popular with a photo of her holding a perfume, she had thousands of fans on her Twitter.

Her Twitter was usually very quiet, but recently it had been particularly lively.

It was all netizens who went to scold her.

Weston told her not to worry about the negative comments online. He said that once the promotional photos were released, the online sentiment would definitely change.

After all, the promotional photos that Penelope took were truly beautiful.

The photographer took a lot of photos, he could hardly bear to delete any of them. Because any one of them, without any Photoshop, whether she was sad, happy, annoyed, angry, or even standing emotionlessly under the moonlight, would become a scenery in its own right.

Tonight, the official "Throne" blog released Penelope's finalized photos. Nine photos in total, eight of them each featuring a different outfit, and one of them under the moonlight, amidst the flowers, where Everett shared a passionate kiss with her.

Of course, Everett only showed a blurry profile.

Penelope didn't expect the release of her official photo to change the online sentiment. As long as netizens didn't criticize her too harshly, she was content.

Who would have known, after her official photo was released, she instantly became a traitor attacked by the entire internet. Netizens were all shouting, demanding the traitor to get out of the entertainment industry!
