Chris almost laughed at the scene before him. Clutching his bleeding head, he stumbled back in disbelief. His voice cracked.

"You’re insane!!!" He yelled staring at the madman with wide eyes. He was still in disbelief that Osvaldo had actually hit him with a vase.

Osvaldo’s head tilted slowly, like a predator sizing up prey, then he smiled. A slow wicked smile that made him look more like a monster. His long hair fell over his face.

These people seem to forget he wasn’t normal at all and they should never do certain things before him.

He let his Penguin go and suddenly picked up another vase aiming at Chris again.

"Wahhhh!" Chris bolted, but before he could run completely, the vase shattered the side of his head. Luckily, he was able to run outside struggling with his parents who didn’t dare step in.

They didn’t want the madman’s curse to follow them, but seeing blood all over their son’s body.

"Christian!!!" Abby called in horror as he fell into her arms unconscious. She turned to Greg, "Call the doctor, it’s an emergency!!" Greg quickly brought out his phone and he called the doctor immediately.

Ariana who was standing there with them quickly rushed to Chris, her hands shaking as she saw the state he was in.

"What happened?" She asked staring at him.

"I have no idea, but get the servant, anyone, to help take him inside," Abby said hurriedly and Ariana went ahead to shout for help.

In no time, the Adkins guards arrived carrying Chris into the main mansion.

"Fool!" Osvaldo remarked, eyes bloodshot as he watched the door from which Chris ran away. He was furious but he knew he had to calm down. He couldn’t scare his Penguin.

He would need to teach Chris and his family a lesson they would never forget. He would teach them not to mess with what is his.

Darlington Adkins stood behind feeling so proud of his grandson and granddaughter-in-law. It was true. Osvaldo is nothing like his father, if anything, he takes after him a lot. Darlington had more than enough reason to celebrate right now.

Oh, how God has blessed him with the best grandchild.

"That’s enough Mr Osvaldo. Barnaby will handle the rest." Penny said softly taking his hands and that of Darlington as she led the grandpa and grandson duo to the dining room.

The dining room was filled with the scent of different varieties of dishes from the top to the bottom. Darlington who was already used to eating like this didn’t care about the multiple dishes. His only happiness was that he was having breakfast with his grandson and new granddaughter-in-law.

When Penny stepped inside the dining room, she had not expected there to be only two seats. She had specifically told Hughes and Barnaby to set the place up, meaning they could finally bring out the remaining dining seat set from where Osvaldo had hidden them. But it seems they brought only one.

So how the hell is she supposed to sit now?

Osvaldo couldn’t possibly be forced to feed her before his grandfather, could he?

Penny couldn’t believe it. She could already feel the amusement in his eyes. His eyes laughed at her pain even without him moving his lips.

"Come Penguin, let’s have breakfast with my old man," Osvaldo said, his big palm covering her little ones as he led her over to their seat. Penny panicked immediately, snatching her hands from his.

It’s enough that Hughes has seen what she saw, she couldn’t let anyone else see anything. It’s not like she was forever married to him. If Osvaldo continues like this, what would become of her already ruined image?

"I... I don’t have a seat, Mr Osvaldo. I should go get one." Penny said calmly finding her way out of the room when Osvaldo grabbed her hands again, pulling her to himself.

"I told you your seat is here." He tapped his thighs and Penny’s eyes turned wide. What she dreaded the most was finally happening.

"I can’t, your grandfather’s here." She said through gritted teeth but Osvaldo pulled her into his lap before she could protest more, holding her firmly so she didn’t escape.

His penguin is a stubborn one, though so fragile and cute and he loved her like this.

"What is this?" Darlington said with a smile.

"Feeding my Penguin Grandpa, she’s a little hot-headed, but just right for me." Osvaldo beamed as he started dishing out their meal, and Penny sat there, her face all red from embarrassment.

"Mr Grandpa, please tell Mr Osvaldo to get another seat. It is inappropriate to act this way, especially before elders. This is disrespectful." Penny said to the older man who was fighting so hard to hide his smile.

Oh, how adorable!

"Ehm, Penelope dear." Darlington cleared his throat and Penny smirked waiting for the older man’s judgement. Maybe Osvaldo would listen to him and let her be.

"There’s no gain in being stubborn to your husband Penny dear. If he wants you on his leg, then let him."

Penny 0.

Osvaldo 1.

"Don’t mind that I’m here." Darlington waved his hands. "Continue your thing." He added softly chuckling to himself.

If they continued like this, he was so sure he would have those tiny little troublemakers running around soonest. He smiled mischievously at his evil thoughts.

Penny bit back retort, a hint of rebellion flaring within. The father and son duo were the same. They both think alike.

This couldn’t be her life. She couldn’t be sitting down on Osvaldo’s legs whenever they wanted to eat.

She would have to save his grandfather’s chair for next time. She’ll never let Osvaldo win this war.

"Ahhhh." Osvaldo brought the spoonful of vegetables to her lips singing the ’ah’ song like she was a kid.

"This isn’t food," Penny said looking at the other things.

"Yes, the other foods are mere decorations. The vegetables are the only thing you can eat now Penguin. Don’t forget your weight loss." Osvaldo said calmly bringing the spoonful of vegetables further to her lips and Penny ate it.
