Chapter 274 Mr. Zackary was toyed with emotionally!

Lyman was a typical man of action. He remembered that he had asked Penelope to be his girlfriend before, but he had never formally proposed to her. He quickly called Justin, asking him to help arrange his proposal to Penelope.

He particularly wanted to give Penelope a surprise, to make her truly happy. So, even though he had delegated the preparation of the proposal necessities to others, he had to explain all the details to Justin. It was the first time in his life that Lyman was proposing to a young girl, so of course, he strived for perfection.

After calling Justin, Lyman was overjoyed. He hoped that the moment his Penelope opened her eyes, she would see the romantic surprise he had prepared for her.

When Penelope woke up, it was already afternoon.

She thought that hearing Lyman's voice at the Hilliard's villa must have been her hallucination. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lyman sitting by her bed.

He was a bit thinner than before, but still had a pleasing baby face. In his eyes, there was always a bright sparkle, like the most brilliant stars in the night sky.

Dalton and Chelsea, both were rare beauties of their time. Lyman's face, which combined their best features, was pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at it.

Especially his youthful aura, the brightness that radiated from within, made people feel indescribably comfortable.

It was simply because his youthful, quirky demeanor was too obvious, and he loved to laugh too much, that people couldn't help but overlook his extraordinary appearance, feeling that he was as warm as the boy next door.

"Mr. Lyman..."

Staring blankly at Lyman, Penelope's eyes moistened in an instant.

Even though it had only been a little over a month since they last met, she felt as if several lifetimes had passed.

She really missed him.

"Penelope, I'm back!" Lyman grinned, revealing his satisfied big white teeth, "Hey! Penelope, long time no see!"

Seeing Lyman's smile, Penelope's tears fell even harder.

Seeing Penelope crying so hard, Lyman couldn't help but feel somewhat at a loss.

"Penelope, don't cry! Crying will make you ugly! Our Penelope is the prettiest little girl, how could she become ugly!"

Upon hearing Lyman's words, Penelope couldn't help but burst into laughter. Seeing her laugh, the smile on his face became even more radiant.

Thinking of the surprise he had prepared for Penelope, Lyman quickly called Justin, asking him to start the operation.

Seeing a pink balloon slowly rising in front of the window, Lyman feigned confusion and said to Penelope, "Penelope, look quickly! What's happening outside the window? How could there be so many balloons?!"

Balloon?

Penelope subconsciously turned her face, looking out the window.

Suddenly, countless balloons of various colors rose up.

Penelope had good eyesight. Several balloons floated past the window, and she could clearly see the words on them.

"Penelope, I loved you!"

"Penelope, marry me!"

Penelope had promised Lyman that she would marry him, and if they were not siblings, she would have married him without hesitation. But now, they could not get married.

Several hot air balloons also slowly rose among the balloons.

A banner was stretched out between the two adjacent hot air balloons.

The same words were written on the top and on the balloon.

Lyman looked out the window with a smile, initially quite pleased with his proposal idea. However, after the banner was pulled out by the hot air balloon, he inexplicably felt a bit disgusted.

It seemed a bit tacky.

In his heart, he suddenly felt extremely nervous, not knowing whether Penelope would like it or not.

The scale of Lyman's proposal this time was really grand, attracting the attention of many people in the hospital.

Among them, included Zackary who came to visit Lola who was hospitalized.

Initially, upon seeing the balloon floating outside the window, Zackary just curled his lip in disdain, what a tacky and clichéd courtship stunt!

Who knows which adolescent with a flair for the dramatic came up with this old, clichéd trick!

I heard that over twenty years ago, someone had already confessed their love to Mommy in this way. Perhaps because it was too clichéd, that person didn't manage to win Mommy over.

This person, surely couldn't catch up with the young girl.

Zackary came to the hospital to see Lola, it was just a routine matter. He spoke a few words to her and then planned to leave.

Just as he was about to turn around, he noticed the words on the balloon.

Penelope, I loved you.

"Penelope, marry me!"

Penelope?!

Zackary frowned, suddenly curious about what the name Penelope on the balloon meant. Which Penelope was it referring to?

Zackary stood up and went to check the patient's hospital records. Sure enough, Penelope had been admitted to this hospital today.

It was in the upstairs ward.

The thought of Penelope being hospitalized due to her ill health instantly tugged at Zackary's heart. However, seeing the balloon flying around as if it cost nothing, he felt an indescribable annoyance.

The combination of sharp pain and depression was particularly uncomfortable.

Zackary could no longer restrain himself, he lifted his foot and headed towards Penelope's upstairs sickroom.

The door to Penelope's ward was not closed. As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw Lyman standing by the bed.

And, Penelope, sitting on the bed with tears in her eyes.

Zackary's handsome face was instantly splashed with ink.

He really didn't know that Lyman had actually returned from that godforsaken place.

Zackary knew that it was over between him and Penelope, whether he was proposed to by a person or a pig, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

He should have, turned around and left.

But he couldn't do it.

As if possessed, he took one step after another, entering her hospital room.

Penelope and Lyman only had eyes for each other, neither of them noticed his arrival.

In Lyman's eyes, there was an undisguised affection. Suddenly, he knelt on one knee, and a large bunch of bright red roses magically appeared in his hands.

"Penelope, I love you! Marry me, will you?"

Propose again?!

Zackary's eyebrows twitched, this woman, she really couldn't wait! As soon as Lyman returned, she was back to flirting with him!

She wanted to take Everett's property, and now she wants to take the Hilliard family's property. Her appetite is really big!

Didn't even know if she could swallow it!

Zackary's hands involuntarily tightened, he was so angry that his fingertips were trembling.

Penelope, if you dared to accept Lyman's proposal, I wouldn't spare you!

Zackary truly felt that his emotions had been cruelly toyed with. If Penelope was only trying to seduce him to get the Spencer family's wealth, he could accept that he had been deceived. At least, he was unique. But now, she wanted to get so many people's wealth. In her heart, was he just an insignificant passerby?

The wind blew, but could it not stir up even a ripple in her heart lake?!

"Penelope, marry me, be my bride, will you?" When Penelope didn't respond, Lyman asked again nervously.

"Mr. Lyman!"

Tears still wet on her cheeks, Penelope threw herself into Lyman's arms, holding him tightly as she cried.

Zackary was so angry that he directly questioned his life.

Did she just agree to this?!

Yeah, they willingly threw themselves into it, how could it possibly be that they didn't agree!
