Capítulo 798: Why Zoren, and not him?

Meanwhile…

Dean strode fiercely, his steps hurried and heavy, following Zoren and Penny as the two of them approached their car.

"Penny!" he called out loudly, knowing he wouldn't be able to get close to them because of the guards surrounding them. It didn't feel good, as it only amplified the distance that had steadily grown between them. "Penny!"

Penny and Zoren didn't stop. Zoren pretended not to hear Dean's call. He opened the door for her, smiling at her like a true gentleman. But when Penny didn't get in, he already knew what she was going to say.

"Get in first," she said, which he had already guessed in his mind. "I'll just talk to him."

Zoren didn't respond immediately, gazing at his wife in silence. "Will you be alright?" he asked, "Or should I stay with you?"

"It's okay," she reassured. "I can handle him."

"Alright," he nodded after a second. "I'll wait then."
