“Poor little thing, stay with me.” Penelope put it on the sofa and touched the dog’s nose softly. She ran her fingers on its fur, “Though I saved you, you have to fight for yourself and recover soon.”
“Purr…” It sniffed, lying there. “Well, don’t be too touched.” Penelope stooped, rubbing its face with hers, saying seriously. “There was a devil downstairs. Well, be good, or we’ll both be kicked out of this house.”
After the puppy was placed, Penelope changed her clothes that were covered with a lot of dog fur and went downstairs.
Warren was on the phone. Penelope ran to the kitchen to find her dinner.
“Where did you go today?” Mrs. Brown asked her as soon as she saw Penelope.
“Crystal Palace Triangle, it’s a very interesting place!” Penelope smiled and uncovered the lid. She looked down and smelled the food, “The steak smells really good.”
Mrs. Brown is amused by her childlike behavior.
One rule of the Duncan family is to eat at the table, so even if only Penelope has dinner, she must go to the table.
After Warren finished the call, he came to ask her, “Do you go out at night?”
Penelope is struck by his question. Then she asked, “Do you go out?”
“I’m asking you now.”
Penelope shook her head. “No, I don’t.”
If the puppy comes out when she is gone, she can imagine how shocked the people in the house will be!
He raised his eyebrows. “It seems that today is when pigs fly.”
Penelope laughed and waved. “Have a good time.”
Warren lifted the corners of his mouth and then went out with his coat.
As soon as he left, Mrs. Brown walked out of the kitchen with a smile and gave a thumbs-up to Penelope. She said, “Luckily, you didn’t go with him.”
“Why? Is it a trick?”
Mrs. Brown answered with a smile, “It is Miss Foster who asked him out. Do you want to play gooseberry? It’s embarrassing.”
“Miss Foster?”
“Katherine Foster, who is said to be the promising fiancée of Mr. Duncan, is favored by Mr. Duncan’s mother. By the way, the Foster family is a powerful family.”
Penelope lifted the corners of her mouth as Warren did before. She stared at the steak, which seemed to lose its taste.
Mrs. Brown is still talking about how rich they are. Penelope listened and occasionally responded.
Penelope is not jealous. She just admired the girl who could be coupled with Warren.
Katherine Foster must be gorgeous, so he will go on a date.

Penelope lifted the dog’s hind leg to check its injury. The white dog yelled like it was being castrated.
“Relax. I’m not going to hurt you, I’m only trying to help.” Penelope smiled and caressed its fur.
Penelope picked it up, and they sat together on a tatami mat by the window.
“Let me give you a name, how about Ross?”
“Woof….”
“Ross is my ex-boyfriend. He cheated on me.” Penelope whispered. “I think a splay-footed man is likely to be unfaithful. It’s true.”
“Woof, woof, woof…”
“You shouldn’t be unhappy with this name now. It’ll help later on. For instance, if I see him again, I can tell him that the puppy in my house is also called Ross.” Penelope laughed very loudly as if it really happened. She said, “For the sake of saving your life, you should do me a favor.”
“Woof, woof, woof…”
The curtains were all pulled open by her.
The moon is high in the air. Under the moon are a girl and a dog talking in harmony.
After a while, the sound of the car engine came downstairs, and then a white light shone.
“Ross, do you have good eyesight? Help me to see if the adversary is coming back.”
Penelope put down the dog and looked out of the window.
“Woof, woof, woof…”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I remember you haven’t seen him yet.” Penelope touched its head, smiled, and whispered, “Ross…”
She glanced at the clock, it said ten o’clock. It is exactly the time to end the chat after dinner and send the other person home.
The phone is ringing. Ross shuddered and then hid himself under the blanket, only revealing a rounded dog butt.
Penelope picked up the phone, smiled and patted its butt, and said, “You can’t be scared of nothing.”
Asher’s voice rang at the other end, and he said, “Happy New Year” to Penelope.
“Two hours earlier, not sincere.”
“If you weren’t living alone in my uncle’s house, I wouldn’t have called you,” Asher said slyly while pacing back and forth.
“Is that right? Believe it or not, in that case, I’m going downstairs and tell your uncle about the transaction between us,” Penelope threatened him.
“Then you will be driven out, and you can’t get your salary from me.”
Penelope suddenly choked back her words.
“Little girl, so naive, hahaha….” Asher laughed, feeling happy and good.
Penelope boldly speculated, “Are there too many handsome guys in Egypt who please you?”
“Stop, don’t mention it. The handsome guys I met were taller than me and wanted to weigh me.”
“Is it true that you want to be the above one?”
Asher touched his shaved jaw and said, “I am a man, is it difficult to understand this pursuit?”
“Huh, huh.”
“Forget it and don’t take it seriously. Have you been well? My uncle is really nice, right?
“Yes, he is not bad.”
“I made a payment to your card, and you can check it.”
“Which card?” Penelope suddenly straightened up.
“The one that you used before.”
“Oh no! That card can only be used in the US. I’m in the UK!”
Asher was stunned upon hearing her answer and followed it with a loud laugh, “Hahahahahahahaha……”
“I’ll apply for another credit card then you can send the payment again.”
“Oh, the connection is really bad now, I can’t hear you. I gotta go, let’s talk about it another day…..”
Toot, toot…
He hung up the phone quickly, leaving Penelope with her big eyes glowering at the mobile phone.
Ross came out of the blanket and stared at Penelope. Then he used its limbs to climb onto the windowsill with his butt tossing.
Warren is sitting on the sofa downstairs.
