Raven couldn't stop himself from smiling. Seeing Penelope's radiant smile directed towards him brought him immense joy. Despite Lance's presence, she didn't bother to pay the man any attention and only focused on him. It was as if the world around them faded away, leaving only Raven and Penelope in their little bubble.
Raven saw Lance walk towards them and felt Penelope stiffen next to him. He regarded Lance with a cool detachment, determined not to let the man's presence ruin his moment with Penelope.
"Mr. Oliver, what a surprise. I didn't expect to see you here."
He expected Lance and Rachel to go after Penelope, and he wasn't surprised to see Lance looking for Penelope as soon as he filed to divorce Rachel. Raven's eyes darkened. He wasn't going to allow anyone to take Penelope away from him. He had never been one to back down from a challenge, especially when protecting the woman he loved for a long time.
