Pennleigh cleared his throat and Hesper signed helplessly. She walked to his side and wrapped her
arms around his.
“You must be Pennleigh’s mother, right?” Hesper said before turning to Pennleigh. “Why didn’t you tell
me that your mother is coming? I didn’t even have a chance to dress up properly.”
Pennleigh cleared his throat again. Facing Hesper’s gaze that was filled with amusement, he turned
around and took a sip of the water. “Well… My mom didn’t want me to say anything. She was worried
that you were just someone I found at the last minute to fool her.”
Hesper was tickled pink by his answer. She wanted to laugh, but she suppressed the urge. Turning
around to look at Madam Pisano, she winked mischievously and said, “Pennleigh doesn’t seem very
reliable, does he? He doesn’t really look like my boyfriend.”
“She’s a good girl,” Madam Pisano said as a smile appeared on her face. She gave Pennleigh a
scolding gaze. wouldn’t have made you go on blind dates.”
“If you had told your mom earlier that you had such a beautiful girlfriend, your dad
‘So he’s trying to run away from blind dates.”
Pennleigh frowned, seeming a bit helpless as he let out a sigh. “Well, both of us don’t know where our
Ads by PubFuture relationship is heading, so I didn’t dare to say anything to you guys. What if you guys didn’t believe me
after I told you about her?”
‘It seems like this isn’t going to end anytime soon… Hesper thought inwardly. Pennleigh’s mother liked Hesper very much and felt that she could be a good match for her son despite
the fact that she was just an average-looking girl now.
novelbin“Alright, alright. Make sure you bring her over to have dinner at our place when you have time.”
Pennleigh was a bit surprised. Although his mother seemed amiable on the surface, there were only a
handful of people that she liked. This was her first time meeting Hesper, yet she invited her over to her
house for dinner. Apparently, she liked Hesper very much.
Hesper did not know that she had Pennleigh’s mother’s approval. The woman seemed very friendly, so
she nodded. “Sure. I’ll go pay you a visit next time.”
“Okay.”
After that, she sat quietly for a while and listened to the family chatter between Pennleigh and his
mother. When approved Pisano decided to leave, she grabbed Hesper’s hand and asked her to come
over to their house sometime so that she could cook her a good meal.
After finally seeing his mother off, Pennleigh sat behind his desk and let out a heavy sigh.
“I owe you one. I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Ads by PubFuture Hesper had been holding back her laughter for a long time, and at his words, her lips curled up into a
smile. “I never thought that the illustrious Mr. Pisano would also be pressured to get married. Luckily,
I’m quick on my feet, or else you would have been exposed today.”
Indeed, Pennleigh let out a sigh again, looking rather troubled. After a while, he said, “My parents
strongly opposed my decision to further my studies in design. Later, when I established Eustoma with
my own funds, I never used a single penny from my family. If it weren’t for Mr. Sanchez’s
encouragement at that time, I might not have been able to persevere until now.” Hesper nodded. “I can see that you come from a rather affluent family.
Could it be that you were going to inherit the throne if you didn’t study design?” Hesper teased, smiling
mischievously.
Clearing his throat, Pennleigh said, “But you shouldn’t have accepted my mother’s invitation. It’s a little
bit complicated, but you left a deep impression on her.”
“You’d be exposed if I didn’t say yes,” Hesper said. “Let’s make up an excuse next time we have a
chance. Say that I’m busy, do that a few times, and your mother’s impression of me will definitely
worsen. You can then say that we broke up.”
“You’ve even thought of a backup plan for me?” Pennleigh chuckled.
They talked for a while, and Hesper checked the time. She needed to go back to the university, as she
still had some assignments and papers to finish. She turned around and said, “I’ll head back now, but
feel free to contact me if there are any new projects.”
“Okay.”
