Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 222 It Should Taste Good

Chapter 222 It Should Taste Good

Thinking about the business negotiation this time involving fruits, Orlando chuckled lightly, “It looks

good on the outside and should taste good, too.”

“That's right. Everyone loves this kind of orange; it sells the best during the New Year period.”

The group walked towards the distance.

Zane, who was following behind Orlando, remained silent. After all, he knew the CEO didn't like to eat

such fruits. Even in Chatville, the fruits he ate were delivered by dedicated personnel from overseas.

Penny helped Haley push the small cart, and when they were almost home, Haley couldn't hold back

anymore.

“Penny, since you know that important figure, didn't you just embarrass yourself in front of him by

helping me push the fruit cart?”

The fruit cart was crude. Susan often ridiculed her for going out to sell fruits at this age and looked

down upon her, regarding her selling fruits as something shameful.

When Haley was out there pushing the fruit cart to sell fruits, Susan would always walk around her with

her friends.

Now Haley realized that she might have embarrassed Penny and felt very sorry for her.

“Haley, nothing is embarrassing about earning money with your own hands. Mr. Fletcher is not that kind

of person.”

Haley didn't say anything more.

The small cart twisted and turned into the alleyway. Before entering the house, Penny heard Noah's

voice from inside.

“Dad, I'm starving. Leave some for Mom, and let's eat first.”

Then came Susan's voice.

“That's right. She insists on selling fruits outside so late but our family doesn't lack that bit of money.

Why she keeps embarrassing us? I even avoid going out with friends, afraid of running into her on the

street.”

Haley and Penny stood outside and heard every word.

Haley feared that Penny would be angry again later, so she quickly shouted inside, “Philip, come out.

Penny is back.”

Philip was still cooking inside, but when he heard this, he quickly came out.

When Noah heard that Penny had arrived, he stiffened and hesitated to come out.

Susan gave a cold snort and started eating alone without paying attention.

Philip wanted to help Haley unload the fruits from the small cart, so he told Penny, “Penny, go in and

have a seat first. Haley and I will come soon.”

Penny entered the house and noticed a new sofa. It seemed that the old sofa had been thrown away.

She looked at Noah with a frown and asked, “Did you buy this?”

Where did Noah get the money?

Noah was somewhat afraid of Penny, considering the embarrassment he had faced when they bumped

into each other in Chatville.

He didn't answer. He waited until Philip entered the house before Penny continued questioning.

“Philip, the old sofa was still usable. Why did you change it?”

Philip quickly replied, “It was Noah's idea. He said the old one looked dirty. The new sofa is nice, isn't

it? It cost 1 thousand dollars.”

“Noah bought it?”

“Where would Noah get the money? I went on credit for it and must pay it back later.”

Since the incident last time, the relationship between Philip's family and the neighbors had soured, and

they were often criticized when they went out.

Upon hearing this, Penny looked at Noah with a gloomy expression.

“If you wanted to change the sofa, why didn't you pay for the new one yourself instead of making Philip

go on credit?”

“Why do you meddle in our family matters, Penny? I've already written my self-reflection letter. What

more do you want from me?”

When a man made a mistake, he always thought that writing a self-reflection letter was enough.

Philip and Haley chimed in nearby.

“Penny, as long as Noah comes back, we'll pay for the sofa. It's no big deal. Thank you for being so

helpful last time. Sit down and have dinner. Tonight, I'll tidy up your room.”

As soon as the words were spoken, Susan rolled her eyes.

“What do you mean her room? That room is for me to use. I won't sleep with Noah.”

She had a disgusted look on her face. It was clear that the two had not completely reconciled.

Seeing these two, Penny felt annoyed and didn't want to stay for dinner at all.

“Haley, I've already booked a hotel, and my stomach feels uncomfortable after I drive for so long. I

won't stay for dinner.”

Haley and Philip promptly escorted her out of the alley.

“Listen to me, Haley and Philip. Regarding Noah and Susan's matter, you should have your own

thoughts and save some money for retirement. Don't repeat what happened last time. When this house

is demolished, buy a bigger one and live a good life.”

Speaking of that incident, Philip also felt embarrassed. He blamed himself for being momentarily

misguided, and now the relationship between their family and the neighbors was awkward.
