Capítulo 523: Role as a parent

Penny smiled as she stood in the bedroom while Zoren handled some quick affairs; his men were outside, exhausted. Who wouldn't be worn out when Renny joined the fun, making them run a few more laps at top speed?

Penny watched Zoren from the bedroom window as he spoke with his men. Meanwhile, she listened to the ringing tone in her ear, holding her phone close.
