Darlington had been scared to even step in before. He had thought Osvaldo was still so violent and had regretted not bringing enough guards for protection. But seeing his grandson speak to him normally after eleven whole years.

Darlington wiped his tears. At last, his family was not lost after all. The heir to the Adkins wealth was fine again.

Slowly, Darlington’s gaze shifted to Penelope. She was standing right beside Osvaldo, face down as she avoided his gaze. Both hands crossed to her front, her fingers playing with each other as she waited to be judged by him.

Penny was busy lost in her thought trying to wonder the type of insult he would give her this time. But she knew one thing, there was no insult Osvaldo’s grandfather would want to give her that she hadn’t heard before.

"She must be my granddaughter-in-law?" Darlington whispered, wonder lacing his voice and Penny finally lifted her head to meet his gaze.

Her eyes. God above, her eyes. A striking, ocean blue that shimmered with innocence and shyness. She looked so soft, so untouched by the ugliness of the world. Like a gentle bunny hiding behind a bad wolf.

"Yes, she’s my Penguin," Osvaldo said pushing his cute Penguin forward.

"She’s gorgeous," Darlington said, and Penny who’d never heard anyone call her that before was stunned.

Gorgeous?

Did Osvaldo’s grandfather just call her gorgeous?

Penny blinked, startled that he was speaking to her. She hadn’t expected much warmth. She’d braced for judgment, for disdain. But the old man’s eyes... they were kind.

The first to ever treat her this way for the first time.

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, took a small step forward, and bowed slightly.

"I’m Penelope, sir," she said gently, her voice almost as soft as her presence.

Darlington’s heart melted completely. He wanted to jump but realized he was too old and might break a bone.

So this was the girl who’d tamed the beast. The one who’d brought Osvaldo back from the shadows. She was nothing like what he’d been told. She was better.

He imagined little feet running through the vast halls of the penthouse. Soft giggles. Miniature versions of Osvaldo and Penelope, are wild, beautiful, and full of mischief.

They would surround and love him the same way his grandson did to him. The remaining days of his life would be wonderful.

My life is perfect again, he thought, smiling as warmth spread through his chest.

"This calls for celebration." Darlington declared. "The world has to know my grandson is back and well. And my granddaughter..." He said.

"So beautiful." He added.

Hughes and Barnaby who were standing by the corner both stared at each other and then back at the old man.

"Is that a good idea?" Hughes whispered to Barnaby, both people staring at the little reunion.

"He’ll change his mind once he sees that master is not fully recovered yet and ready for the world. Don’t worry about it." Barnaby said calmly.

"Let’s have breakfast and then we can discuss more about this celebration you speak of," Osvaldo suggested shifting his gaze to his servants who immediately went ahead to set the dining room in order.

While the trio moved ahead for their breakfast...

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!
