Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1075

Chapter 1075: It’s because I liked it.

[If it’s itchy, scratch it.]

"Jesus!" Nina shivered from head to toe as Lily’s face suddenly hovered over her head, along with Lily’s mischievous advice earlier today. She shook her head, waving her hand over her head to shake off Lily’s image.

"Why did I have to tell her everything?" she mumbled to herself, shaking her head, realizing it might not have been a good idea to confide in Lily about this. After all, Lily was just... wild. Nina wanted to believe it was Lily’s defense mechanism after almost marrying someone who was just after her family’s wealth.

"But then again, she had always been this energetic, even before," Nina muttered, sighing heavily as she gazed at her apartment door. Another sigh escaped her as she held the doorknob, a little hesitant to go into her own place.

Not that she didn’t want to see Finn.

"I actually miss him," she whispered, staring at the door. "I think... I need to talk to him about it."

How Nina would tell Finn without embarrassing herself or hurting him was something she didn’t know. But she knew she would eventually figure it out. All she needed was a full night to think about it.

With that thought in mind, she twisted the knob and went inside.

"I’m home," she announced out of habit, her brows rising as the house was unusually quiet. "Hmm?"

Deep lines appeared between her brows as she closed the door behind her. Her steps were slow and quiet, for a reason she couldn’t quite understand.

"Finn?" she peeked into the small living room, but Finn wasn’t there. "He’s normally just idling in here."

Her lips curved downward, but after checking the time, she realized it was quite late. "Right. I did tell him I’d be home late and to not wait for me."

Thinking that Finn had already gone to bed, she dragged her feet to the kitchen for a glass of water. But just as she did, she almost jumped in surprise when she saw Finn seated at the dining table. The dining area and kitchen were just a few steps apart.

"Oh, God." She breathed out, patting her chest mildly. "That scared me."

Her surprise didn’t last long when she noticed Finn’s stern expression. He slowly lifted his gaze to hers, and the moment their eyes met, she knew he wanted to discuss something very serious.

"Nina, can we talk?" he asked as he rose to his feet, his hand moving to the other vacant chair. "Please?"

She pursed her lips and nodded, taking the seat right across from him. But instead of sitting down, Finn walked away to the kitchen to grab her a glass of water.

"Thanks," she expressed with a short smile as he placed the glass of water in front of her.

Finn replied with a short smile, waiting for her to drink first before they started this heart-to-heart talk. His brows furrowed when he noticed how she chugged the entire glass in one go.

"Do you... want another glass?" he asked. "You seemed very thirsty."

"Ha ha..." she laughed awkwardly. "I’m fine, thank you."

"Are you sure?"
