Chapter 64 The Bridal Villa
The rain was falling fiercely outside, and Penny's words could be heard clearly in the quiet cabin.
Orlando's fingers froze, a weirdness flaring in his eyes.
Penny didn't notice his reaction because her compliment was merely a passing remark.
She closed her eyes, hoping to sleep for a while. The car jolted at that moment.
Her head leaned in towards his, and the distance between them was cut in half right away.
With so much rain, the wet road made traffic jams worse.
They were stalled for half an hour before slowly moving again.
Penny closed her eyes and took a nap during that half-hour to avoid the unpleasantness of being with
Orlando.
Her recent sleep quality had been poor, and coupled with the mesmerizing sound of rain outside, she
unknowingly drifted into a deep sleep.
Zane, seated in the front row, didn't notice the mood behind until he spotted another car disobeying the
regulations through the rear-view mirror.
Suddenly, that car hit theirs, causing the entire vehicle to jolt forward.
Penny was about to hit the side window as a result of the incident.
Orlando furrowed his brow and hastily drew her back.
Inertia caused her smooth and boneless form to fall immediately into his arms.
Penny, who was fast asleep, felt as if she had touched a strange "pillow" that was generating warmth.
She embraced it, snuggled against it, shifted to a more comfortable posture, and fell back asleep.
Orlando's grip on her arm froze instantly. She was now cuddled in his arms, and her breath happened
to brush across a sensitive spot.
That was the most susceptible place for a man to be teased.
His eyes darkened, and he bent his head to stare at her.
She slept quietly, her long hair dispersed, showing a delicate and petite side profile. Under her eyelids
were thin dark circles.
The dark light inside the car gleamed on her face, giving her a calm, soft, and seductive expression.
Orlando looked at her for a moment before deciding not to bother her. Instead, he turned his head to All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
stare out the window, trying to calm himself.
Penny massaged her eyes when she awoke, only to discover a chin in her field of sight. She sat up
abruptly, startled.
Orlando's brow furrowed slightly as his chin leaned up. "We've arrived. Get off."
She couldn't determine if he was angry or showing another emotion.
Outside, the rain had already stopped.
"Mr. Fletcher, I'll see you next time."
Penny thanked him, slightly embarrassed, without paying attention to his reaction. She quickly entered
her own flat without turning around after getting out of the car.
But before she entered the room, she was aware of an unexpected presence.
The door, which should have been closed tightly, had a crack. She recovered from her embarrassment
and cautiously pulled the door open.
The flat was in chaos as if a robber had broken in.
There was also a small gap in the bedroom door, but she didn't dare to open it. Instead, she called the
police.
She waited until the police arrived before accompanying them inside. Knowing that nothing was gone,
she sighed with relief.
The flat, on the other hand, was clearly no longer safe. What would happen if the thief returned while
she was inside the flat?
A single woman living alone could not bear the thought.
She packed a few pieces of clothing and took everything she needed for work.
It was already late when she arrived at Hills Villa.
The security man at the entrance respectfully opened the gate after she paid the fare.
Rex gave her this bridal villa when she married Orlando. However, since Orlando had gone overseas at
that moment, he was unlikely to be aware of the existence of this place.
