Chapter 346 Penelope was Mr. Zackary's sister-in-law!

She hadn't even considered that Cornelia would actually invite her to have dinner together.

Having completely severed ties with Zackary, Penelope didn't want to have any contact with anyone from the Spencer family. However, she really liked Cornelia too much. Moreover, when she pitifully asked her to have dinner together, she couldn't refuse.

What Cornelia said was really pitiful, her husband didn't accompany her for meals, and her son and daughter ignored her. Penelope felt quite sad hearing this. In the end, the words of refusal took a detour and turned into a simple, "Okay."

After agreeing, Penelope felt a bit of regret. But then she thought, it's just a meal, it's not like she would lose a piece of meat, so it wasn't really a big deal.

Penelope had been quite free these past few days.

The dating show was temporarily halted in production. For the next two days, she had no schedule planned, allowing her to relax properly.

In the afternoon, she picked up Ethan after school and spent some time playing with him at Xavier's place. When the agreed time came, she went straight to meet Cornelia.

Cornelia had booked an elegant and romantic restaurant.

When she arrived, Cornelia had already been waiting inside for a long time.

In the vast restaurant, there were only her and Cornelia as guests. As she pushed open the restaurant's door, a strong scent of roses hit her.

Immediately, she saw a large bouquet of roses placed on her and Cornelia's seats.

Uh...

Penelope was somewhat unable to understand Cornelia's thoughts. Why would they have dinner together and bring such a large bunch of roses?

"Penelope, long time no see, you've become even more beautiful!" Cornelia sincerely complimented upon seeing Penelope.

The more she looked at Penelope, the more she felt she was more like Chelsea's daughter.

Penelope's eyes really resembled Chelsea's.

Especially, the temperament of the two of them was simply identical.

In the past, she had once complained to Jayden that Chelsea and Dalton were both exceptionally good-looking, wondering how they could have produced a harsh-looking Lola.

Looking back, it wasn't that Chelsea and Dalton had a genetic mutation, but rather, Lola was not their child at all.

It was just unknown whether all of this was deliberately done by Lola, or even she was kept in the dark by the Hilliard family's parents.

Being complimented like this by Cornelia, Penelope couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. She spoke truthfully, "Aunt Cornelia, you've become even more beautiful."

Cornelia's face was astonishingly youthful.

Just like Chelsea, she made it utterly unimaginable that they were nearing fifty.

Those so-called ageless goddesses boasted about in the entertainment industry were completely insignificant in front of these two.

The two of them were not made up with cosmetics, but were truly young.

There were faint lines at the corners of Cornelia's eyes, but her skin was still as delicate as ever, especially those eyes, as vibrant as they were in her youth, sparkling like stars, which made her somewhat envious.

"Penelope, I heard from the teacher that you're now taking care of Ethan by yourself. It must be hard for you to raise a child alone, isn't it?"

Was it hard?

Of course, it was tough, especially when giving birth to Ethan. It happened in a dark, damp dungeon, without any medical equipment. She had to rely on Kemp, who knew nothing about childbirth, to deliver her baby. She was premature and had a difficult labor, it was a matter of life and death.

But Ethan was so adorable, bringing her the utmost joy and warmth. All the hardships were insignificant compared to the warmth Ethan brought her.

"Not hard at all." Penelope smiled faintly, speaking softly.

"Penelope, you still don't have a boyfriend, do you?" Cornelia asked, her laughter was so gentle, her face almost blooming like a flower.

"No." Penelope, unaware of Cornelia's intentions, could only speak truthfully.

"Great!" Upon confirming that Penelope didn't have a boyfriend, Cornelia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. That way, she could promote her eldest son to her.

"Penelope, I thought you were so beautiful, you should have a boyfriend, otherwise, it would really be a waste!"

Cornelia spoke with a smile, "I don't know if you've heard of my Dylan? My Dylan doesn't have a girlfriend either, I think you two could try dating."

"Penelope, don't be so quick to reject. My Dylan may seem cold and icy on the outside, like an iceberg, but in reality, he's warm on the inside. He's very caring. You won't be at a loss or be fooled if you become friends with him..."

Feeling like she was sounding like a salesperson, Cornelia quickly corrected herself, "Anyway, my Dylan is quite good. If you get along well with him, you will definitely discover his good qualities."

Penelope, "..."

It turned out that Cornelia didn't come to have dinner with her, but to introduce her to a potential partner!

Her former mother-in-law had once played matchmaker for her, and the man was her ex-husband's elder brother. This feeling was truly subtle.

Just as Penelope was about to tell Cornelia that she didn't want to talk about love or anything like that, the restaurant door was pushed open, and Dylan, who had returned to the country early, walked in.

The three generations of the Spencer family all had exceptionally good complexions, a rarity seen once in a thousand years.

As Cornelia said, Dylan was like an iceberg, but because there was light in his heart, the feeling he gave people was distant yet particularly comfortable.

He was wearing a hand-tailored suit, the style of which was particularly simple, yet it still couldn't conceal his inherent nobility and unapproachability.

"Dylan, come over here quickly!"

As soon as she saw Dylan, Cornelia excitedly waved at him.

Dylan was the most perceptive. As soon as he saw the large bouquet of roses on the dining table and Penelope sitting across from Cornelia, he instantly understood his mother's intentions.

Dylan felt truly innocent. He had just returned to the country and was immediately summoned by his own mother to have dinner with Penelope. He didn't want to come, but his father threatened to break his legs. Moreover, he was even treated as a heartless man who abandoned his wife and child.

Dylan was suffering inside, but Dylan didn't speak.

Dylan elegantly sat next to Cornelia, thinking to himself that he would temporarily take the blame for his younger brother, and then, he would ruthlessly get it back later.

Penelope and Dylan stared at each other, she was extremely embarrassed, while he was completely at ease.

Zackary had just finished discussing a collaboration in the upstairs box, and as he was about to go downstairs, he saw Cornelia, Dylan, and Penelope sitting in the lobby.

Seeing the large bunch of roses on the dining table, his handsome face immediately turned dark.

He returned to the private room and called his own mother.

"Mommy, didn't you return to Silverybay Estates?"

"No way! Zack, let me tell you a secret, I was setting up a blind date for your elder brother! I found a really great sister-in-law for you, you will definitely like her!"

Liked?!

Not only liked it, but also went there!

"Zack, actually, your older brother and Penelope already have a certain emotional foundation. I'll take the opportunity to quietly leave later, letting them communicate their feelings on their own. Penelope is so beautiful, and your older brother is so handsome. A handsome man and a beautiful woman, red candles, roses, and fine wine, they will definitely make great progress tonight!"

Great development?

What great development?!

Going to bed?!

She wishful thinking!

She had seduced Everett, and now she wanted to seduce his elder brother. He wanted to see just how flirtatious this shameless woman could be!

After an awkward stare-off with Dylan for quite a while, Penelope finally gained her freedom and returned to her small apartment.

After opening the door to her small apartment, she found, to her surprise, someone was actually in her living room.

With Zackary, who was as green as a lush meadow!
