Chapter 358 Wife and Child Ran Away with Someone Else, Mr. Zackary was Unhappy!

Indeed, it's a small world!

Seeing the upward curve of Ethan's lips, Penelope froze on the spot. She knew he didn't want to face Zackary. She stood up, intending to leave with him.

"Aunt Cornelia, it's getting late, Ethan and I are heading back now."

"Penelope, you haven't eaten yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave!" Something occurred to Cornelia, and she continued, "Right, we haven't settled your marriage with Dylan yet!"

"Penelope, what did you think of my proposal?"

"I..."

What could be done?!

Marry her ex-husband's older brother? Such a crazy thing, she would never do it even if it killed her!

Moreover, she could feel that although Dylan was gentle and polite to her, he was not attracted to her. There was no possibility of any development between them.

However, she couldn't understand why Dylan, who clearly wasn't interested in her, didn't tell Cornelia about Ethan's real identity, and let her continue to be immersed in this misunderstanding, unable to extricate herself.

"Penelope, you must have thought my proposal was fantastic! After all, my Dylan is so handsome and nice, there wouldn't be any girl who didn't like him! Penelope, did you think our Dylan was good?"

When Cornelia said this, Dylan and Zackary had already sat down at the dining table.

Dylan's aura was particularly cold, but in front of his beloved parents, his aura softened a lot. He sat quietly in his seat, the corners of his lips faintly curled up, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

Zackary's entire body, however, was completely covered by the unmelting chill of a thousand years.

His gaze was fixed unwaveringly on Penelope's face, his expression clearly indicating that if she dared to say a good word about Dylan, he would tear her apart on the spot.

Penelope was really speechless about Cornelia's question, but Dylan was so excellent and humble, she couldn't exactly say he was bad, could she!

In Cornelia's eyes filled with immense anticipation, all she could manage to say was, "Dylan is fine."

After she said this, she instantly felt the temperature in the living room drop several degrees, especially the icy gaze Zackary fixed on her, which made her feel as if her goosebumps were about to stand up.

Cornelia was completely oblivious to the turmoil in the living room, she was just immensely satisfied with Penelope's response.

She looked at Penelope, feeling like a mother-in-law growing fonder of her daughter-in-law with each glance, her smile so wide that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Penelope, I found that we really hit it off, we have a special connection, and I think our Dylan is really, really great! Don't worry, being with our Dylan, you definitely won't regret it! If Dylan dares to bully you, I will make sure Jayden beats him until he's picking up his teeth off the ground!"

"Ha!"

Cornelia was speaking cheerfully when Zackary's cold laughter suddenly echoed in the air.

Cornelia also heard Zackary's voice. She let go of Penelope's hand and looked at him with a worried expression, asking, "Zack, what's wrong? Is your throat bothering you?"

"Huh!" Zackary didn't respond to Cornelia's words, continuing to sneer instead.

Cornelia didn't know about the love-hate relationship between Zackary and Penelope, but at that moment, she could sense that his laughter was about more than just a sore throat.

Thinking back to her previous phone call with him, and the things he said, she felt that he was trying to use Dylan's dislike for women as an excuse.

Afraid that Zackary would spout nonsense and ruin the great marriage opportunity between Penelope and Dylan, Cornelia instantly put on a stern face and spoke coldly to him, "Zack, if your throat is uncomfortable, go back to your own room and rest! I'm telling you, don't even think about causing trouble for your older brother! I've set my sights on Penelope as my daughter-in-law!"

"Huh!" Zackary had no intention of going back to his room to rest. He lifted his face to look at Cornelia, speaking word by word, "Mommy, I told you, my big brother and Penelope are not suitable!"

"Zack, shut up!" said to me.

Cornelia was so anxious that she wanted to cover Zackary's mouth. It was not easy for her son Dylan to find a wife. If the future daughter-in-law found out that he was interested in men, he would end up being a bachelor for life!

"Mommy, Penelope didn't deserve my big brother!"

Hearing Zackary's words, Cornelia was so angry that she was almost spitting blood. She stood up directly, pointed at the door and said to him, "Zackary, get out! If you continue to talk nonsense here, I, Cornelia, don't have a son like you!"

Zackary didn't go out. His child's mother was about to marry his older brother. It would be strange if he gave them a chance to be alone!

Zackary was worried that if he continued to upset his mom, she would have his dad throw him out directly. He wisely shut his mouth and focused on eating his rice.

After all, if he was kicked out, even if Penelope was sleeping with his elder brother, he wouldn't be able to stop it!

Tonight, he had to fight with all his might!

Originally, Cornelia wanted Jayden to break Zackary's leg and throw him out. Seeing that he stopped talking nonsense, she didn't let her husband resort to violence against him.

Seeing the empty plate in front of Penelope, Cornelia quickly served her some food.

"Penelope, eat more, you're too thin! You need to put on some weight so you can quickly have a second child with Dylan!"

Seeing Ethan eagerly eating rice, Cornelia quickly served him some dishes, "Ethan, you should eat more too! Children need to eat a lot to grow tall and strong, only then can you protect mom!"

Ethan wanted to grow up quickly to protect his mother. After listening to Cornelia's words, he no longer just picked at his rice, but also ate his vegetables in big bites.

Watching Ethan eat heartily, Cornelia laughed with her eyes crinkled in joy, feeling indescribably happy inside.

Zackary was unhappy, not happy at all.

The moment he saw Cornelia playing matchmaker between Penelope and Dylan, an indescribable discomfort filled his heart.

In particular, after dinner, Cornelia even took Penelope to Dylan's room, insisting that she stay there for the night. This made him so angry that he even hung up directly when Lola called.

Cornelia insisted on her eating, and it was hard to refuse her hospitality. Penelope planned to leave immediately after eating.

However, just as she had finished eating, Cornelia had the servant take Ethan out to play, and she couldn't even catch up to bring him back.

Moreover, Cornelia had been holding her hand all the time, chatting with her about various things, so she had no chance to look for Ethan.

Later, the servant directly carried the sleeping Ethan back.

Ethan had already fallen asleep, and Cornelia was even less willing to let them mother and son go back. She had already prepared a room for Ethan in advance. She had the servant carry him to the room on the second floor, and continued to hold Penelope's hand and chat with her.

Finally, Penelope was getting a bit sleepy from all the talking.

Cornelia also worried that talking too long with Penelope would leave her no time to develop a relationship with Dylan. She took her hand and they went upstairs.

Penelope thought that Cornelia was going to take her to Ethan, but unexpectedly, she took her to Dylan's room.

As soon as Cornelia pushed open the door, a strong scent of roses hit her.
