Chapitre 493: A war freak

The first dinner of the Bennet family with Zoren went smoothly. There wasn't much to note, aside from Allison asking Zoren a few questions to show her interest. Slater also chimed in every once in a while, but his comments were mostly irrelevant and best ignored for the sake of one's sanity.

Haines contributed to the conversation, and surprisingly, Atlas did as well. They tried to avoid discussing business as much as possible, but there were moments when they couldn't help it. Charles, on the other hand, focused more on his daughter.

Overall, the dinner was uneventful. Meaning, it was better than she hoped for. Ignoring Slater, it was okay. 

Afterward, Penny sent Zoren off before retiring to bed.

"This still hurts a bit," she mumbled, applying cream to her palm. "Good thing this cream helps. It hurt so much this morning."
