Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1095

Chapter 1095: Atlas the Hero

[PRESENT TIME]

GASP!

Zoren snapped his eyes open, his chest heaving heavily.

"Renren?"

Slowly, he moved his slightly dilated eyes to the person beside him. The moment his gaze landed on his wife’s worried face, his shoulders relaxed.

"Renren, are you okay?" Penny asked, wiping his forehead with the back of her hand. "You’re sweating a lot and have been groaning in your sleep. Is everything okay?"

Zoren didn’t answer and tried to stabilize his breathing, but then he noticed Atlas and Hugo standing in the aisle. Looking up, he immediately saw their confused and worried faces.

"Hey, man, did you just have a nightmare?" Hugo asked curiously. "You seemed like you were dying in your sleep."

Atlas didn’t speak, but his expression was solemn.

"Mhm." Zoren gulped, trying to clear the tension in his throat. He nodded. "I’m fine. Just... a weird dream."

He then cast his wife a glance, squeezing her hand. "I’m okay," he repeated, offering her a forced smile. "It’s just a bad dream."

"..." Penny pursed her lips, but even with her husband’s reassurance, the worry in her eyes remained. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

Since Penny had no choice but to accept that her brothers were already on board, she didn’t want to let it affect her mood any further. Seated across from them were Atlas and Hugo, sharing a meal. She couldn’t help but glance at Zoren.

"Are you sure you’re okay?" Hugo asked once more.

This time, Zoren had already calmed down and returned to his usual self. "Yes, thank you."

"Just what kind of dream did you have that made you act like that?" Penny mumbled, frowning. "I’ve never seen you have a nightmare before."

In the months they had been together and sleeping in the same bed, Zoren had never had a nightmare. Even if Zoren often woke up before her, Penny knew she would wake if something like that were happening around her.

This was the first.

"Well..." Zoren smacked his lips and looked up, pondering. "I was fighting a demon."

The three Bennets furrowed their brows and made a sound in unison. "Eh?"

"There was this fire-breathing dragon. It was so big, and it was wreaking havoc, burning and crushing everything in sight," Zoren explained in his usual calm voice. "I was trying to fight it, but the catch is I’m only about ten or so."

"..." Penny’s and Hugo’s noses crinkled, while Atlas’s deadpanned.

"I bet you didn’t win," Atlas said coldly. "I always win."

"Sir, can’t you just control the dream and wish that your comrades could be cured too?" Allen mumbled, but his comment didn’t reach anyone. His eyes remained on his boss, thinking, ’How could Sir Atlas speak about his weird dreams with such a straight face?’
