Chapter 1006 Leaving Only The Sound Of Their Heartbeats

Author: Twin Bridge
Penny hugged Caleb's waist from behind, her forehead resting against his back as she stood a head shorter than him.

She just held him like that without saying a word.

Caleb looked down at the hands wrapped around his waist and placed his hand over hers. Feeling the softness of her fingertips, he realized this was not a dream.

"Are you drunk?"

The powerful after-effects of the drink must have affected her. She must be drunk.

Penny hugged him even tighter.

For a moment, Caleb felt as if the surrounding chaos had vanished, leaving only the sound of their heartbeats.

He lowered his eyelashes, turned around, and pressed her firmly against the wall.

Before Penny could react, he kissed her.

His palm grasped her fingers, placing them on the buttons of his suit as he kissed her while walking toward the elevator.

The elevator was empty. Caleb had a room on the top floor of Sky Lounge, where they had been before.

If he were not worried about the elevator camera capturing Penny, he wou

    After getting dressed, he leaned over and gently patted Penny's face."Penpen, there's a lead on Grandpa, and I need to go abroad. You keep sleeping. I'll have the waiter bring in breakfast later."Penny did not wake up, so Caleb resolutely shook her awake.Bleary-eyed, Penny saw him leaning down to kiss her firmly on the lips."I'm going abroad for a while. Make sure you eat well, okay?""Okay."She responded drowsily, too exhausted to stay awake. She turned over to go back to sleep.He pulled her into his arms, his voice growing tender."We're together now. I've already announced it publicly. You can't back out.""Mm, okay."Penny agreed in a haze, too drained from being tormented all night twice in a row to muster any energy.Even though Caleb did not want to leave her, he had to go. He looked back three times with each step. He had to leave because it concerned Sir Fergerson.…Penny woke up at noon, still feeling weak and drained.Moreover, after drinking the potent

    When Florence received Khloe's urgent reminder, sweat began dripping down her forehead.Public opinion on the internet was still raging. She had already released Jeanie, but Jeanie had not taken any action last night.Her hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel, and after making several inquiries, she learned that Caleb had gone abroad.Taking a deep breath, she immediately informed Jeanie of this news. With Caleb away, it was the best time to deal with Penny.Jeanie got excited at this, but Florence still reminded her, "You only have one chance. Don't go and get yourself killed without achieving anything. Penny is not that easy to deal with.""That bitch just relies on Caleb anyway!"Hatred seethed in Jeanie's eyes. She wished she could drive over and run Penny over right now."Jeanie, what you need to do is make her suffer so much that she wishes for death, which is much more painful than physical harm."Florence did not want to say much to this simple-minded fool. She

    In the dimly lit room, it was almost impossible to see each other's faces clearly."Penpen, just come with me."His voice remained gentle, but Penny sensed an intentional undertone in his warmth.Was it just her imagination?"Casby, I want to leave. I made it clear last time that our agreement has expired."Last time, she had felt dizzy and disoriented for several days. She woke up without seeing him or receiving any explanation. This made her wary of him even though he was once the beautiful dream of her youth."Penpen, I'm sorry I made you unconscious the last time."Even though he was apologizing, his tone did not seem sincere at all.Penny's unease deepened, and she quietly took a step back.However, the effects of the drugged drink coursed through her, making her feel unbearably hot and on the verge of breaking down.She turned to leave through the same small door she entered. She intended to head back to Dawn Haven Villa for a cold bath to clear her mind.However, a pa

    Caspian remained silent, and the place was engulfed in prolonged silence.The man's eyes darkened with malevolence."Last time, I answered a call for her from your brother Caleb. Believe me, if I answer a few more times, he'll start investigating this 'Casby' without me saying anything. It's just that he's currently preoccupied with Sir Fergerson's matter and doesn't have the energy for this yet."His fist touched the mirror, his tone shifting to a gentle coaxing."Speaking of which, I don't know if it's because of your emotions, but I find myself actually quite attracted to this Penny.""I'll get her to give you the thing.""It would've been so much easier if you had done this earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked answering Caleb's call last time. I almost exposed our whereabouts."A smug look appeared in the man's eyes.Caspian had a gentle appearance and spoke softly. Anyone who had seen him would surely not forget his face.That was why Penny was so captivated by him

    He needed an answer from her. Everything had been well-discussed before he left, and she had agreed to it. Why was she silent on the phone now?Caleb's expression grew cold, his eyes darkening with a brewing storm."Penny, if you don't speak up now, I'm going to get angry."Penny took a deep breath, trying to respond.However, her throat was in agony. It felt as if a large hand was tightly clenching it, making it hard for her to breathe. Tears streamed down more fiercely.Her body shook violently, and she instinctively crouched down. She covered her mouth with one hand, fearful of letting her cries be heard.She frantically grabbed a jacket nearby, desperate to leave this place. However, as she moved, her leg hit something.She could not feel the pain. It was as if all sensation in her body had been stripped away in an instant.The place made her feel nauseated.Caleb's voice still echoed from the phone."Are you planning to deny everything again?"His tone carried a hint of

    Seeing that the doctor was quite skilled and had actually started giving Penny an IV drip, Lucy felt relieved.The young doctor continued to speak, "Has she been overthinking lately? Remember to ensure she eats well. Her stomach problem can't be ignored any longer. It needs to be taken care of."His fingers gently brushed away the sweat on Penny's forehead, lingering there for a while."Her fever should subside in about an hour. Ask the kitchen to prepare something light for her. She hasn't eaten in two days."Lucy was somewhat puzzled. She felt the doctor's behavior was a bit too affectionate, but on closer inspection, it did not seem to be inappropriate.She pointed to the camera in the hallway. "Doc, since it's your first visit here, please be aware that we have cameras providing 24-hour comprehensive monitoring."The implication was clear. If he tried anything with Penny while she was downstairs, he would not be able to leave Dawn Haven Villa that night.The doctor smiled. "

    After he left, Penny wanted to remove the needle from the back of her hand. She intended to go to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Her mouth was filled with the taste of blood.Yet at that moment, Lucy came in with the soup she had stewed, her tone full of reproach."Ms. Sullivan, how could you knowingly neglect to eat for two days when you have a stomach condition? The doctor told me to remind you to take care of your body. You must not forget to eat three meals a day and should not neglect your health because of work!"Penny took the warm water Lucy handed her to rinse her mouth. She then looked at the food on the small table. Even so, she had lost her appetite."Ms. Sullivan, you must eat something. Otherwise, if your stomach condition worsens, you'll feel even more uncomfortable. You already look like you've lost several pounds."Penny, who had never experienced much familial affection, knew that Aunt Lucy had always treated her like a granddaughter.Hearing her fuss, Penny f

    Caleb had never thought of going to war with Caspian. Although he did grow up under Caspian's shadow and once harbored the desire to surpass him, he had become more indifferent about it over time.For a moment, he was not sure how to answer Finn's question. However, if Caspian's existence posed a real threat to Grandpa's life, he would undoubtedly pull the trigger without hesitation.His relationship with Caspian was not that strained, but it was not one of respectful brotherly love either.He looked down at the message Penny had sent, and the smile that had faded from his eyes slowly returned.He replied to Penny's message.[Have you seen my social media?]Penny was already looking at Caleb's Instagram.She was surprised that he had taken such a photo.

    Penny was displeased but was too shy to voice it out. Her body felt empty.“Are you happy that he’s back?” “No.” “Then, do you want me?” Penny bit her lip. He had caused sweat to break out across her body. Caleb’s phone rang. Finn was on the other end of the line. He answered the phone, and Finn’s voice rang out. “Imperial City is going to be in chaos tonight. The higher-ups are hunting for the results of Caspian's experiments, and even Uncle Shawn is getting involved in this. "He just called and told me that the higher-ups contacted him and basically forced him to agree to convince Caspian to give them the results. "Cas has also contacted the higher-ups himself and told them that unless Penny is by his side, the mental torture he was subjected to will stop him from recalling where he’s put the chip.” It was a matter of national security, and this was what Caspian was using as his bartering chip the minute he returned. There was no doubt the higher-ups would put a

    Penny had made it out of the room by then. Her face was deathly pale. “Penny!” Caleb ran after her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her behind a pillar where no one could see them. Caleb knew what was going through her mind, and he held her face in his hands. She did not look at him. Her chest heaved as she struggled to process the truth. Caleb did not know what to say and merely brushed the tip of his nose against hers. When she did not resist, he slowly moved down and kissed her. He knew why Caspian had chosen this sort of appearance. Not only would he manage to devastate Penny, but he could also announce to everyone that he was Penny’s first love. That way, he could also cause Caleb to find himself in a sticky situation. However, Caleb could not care less. As he kissed Penny, he tightened his arms around her waist. Their breaths turned ragged as they continued kissing for another ten minutes. Finally, he rested his forehead on her shoulder. His back was slig

    Despite everyone staring at him, Caleb only had eyes for Penny. Penny did not know the reason behind that, and her brows were knitted together tightly as she watched Caspian make his way down from the second floor. He took the ring from the host and placed it before her solemnly. “I’m here to fulfill my promise, Penpen.” Penny wanted to smack his hand away, but he slowly bent over and smiled as he took her hand. He tried to put the ring on her finger, but his actions were stopped by someone else. He looked in the direction where the hand had come from, and his gaze met Caleb. “Long time no see, Caleb.” Caleb pulled Penny from her seat into his arms. She was left with no choice but to sit on his lap. Caleb could not care less about whatever sort of tricks Caspian would pull. If he allowed Caspian to put that finger on Penny’s finger, he would change his last name! Penny wanted to struggle out of his grasp, but the warmth of his body caused her to stop. He was still

    Some people were speculating if they had gotten back together again, and some were even wondering if Caleb was blind. Why did he pass on Khloe Strauss and choose a designer who did not come from a prestigious family? No matter how well Penny ran her company, these people would still view her as a lowly designer fighting to make a name for herself in the market. She ignored everyone else’s stares and merely took a piece of tissue. She turned slightly to wipe the sweat from Caleb’s forehead. Caleb opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. The two did not say anything. Plenty of people were standing around them, but the light above their heads seemed to have enveloped them in a world of their own. Penny felt her heart rate increase as she clutched the tissue and returned her gaze to the stage. “This is a piece of emerald that Mr. Winston Hill has donated. Bidding starts at three million dollars.” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Winston. Winston smiled at everyone as he int

His lowered lashes cast a shadow.He stood up and heard Ethan say again, "Leave your phone."Sean chuckled. "Ethan, you're being too serious right now."He left his phone behind and went upstairs.Khloe continued to sway Ethan's shoulders."Ethan, I had Wind take action against Penny tonight. This time, success is mandatory. Failure is not an option."Ethan's expression turned grave instantly. "Didn't I tell you not to act on your own?""But I nearly lost my life because of her, twice."After saying this, she touched the area over her heart, her complexion turning pale in a moment."Khlo?"This time, Khloe genuinely felt discomfort in her heart, and the next second, she fainted."Khlo!"Ethan was no longer concerned about reprimanding her and immediately took her to the hospital.…Tonight, the

    Penny stood still for a while, feeling unsettled as she got back into the car.Firstly, it was due to her situation with Caleb. Secondly, it was because of Ethan's words. Was something about to happen?She looked up, intending to speak with Winona. However, she suddenly heard Winona's soft sobs. She was lying on the steering wheel, so engrossed in her emotions that she did not notice Penny getting into the car."Winona?" Penny called out.Awakened from her daze, Winona quickly sat up straight. "Ms. Sullivan.""Did your ex-boyfriend come looking for you again? Haven't you already paid him back? Won't his family let you be?""That’s not it.""Is it because he and that woman are getting married? Did they send you a wedding invitation, which made you feel upset?""No."Then what was it?Penny knew that the family situations of the people close to her were quite simple.

On the contrary, they had strength in numbers. Khloe was just discharged from the hospital today and was planning to welcome friends who had come all the way from Americana to see her.Seeing Penny alone, she felt a surge of satisfaction.Given her status as Ms. Strauss, she had many friends in Americana and would never be as isolated as Penny.She had specifically called Linda over, knowing Linda's temper was explosive.
