Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1121

Chapter 1121: I hope they’re enjoying their trip

Meanwhile, at the Old Pierson Residence...

Old Mrs. Pierson clasped her hands excitedly as she gazed at the class picture hanging on the wall. Her eyes twinkled as Butler Hubert instructed the helpers to position it at the right angle.

"Perfect!" Butler Hubert gave a thumbs-up, nodding at the helpers. "Great work."

The helpers smiled back at him and glanced toward the Old Madam. A look of satisfaction beamed on their faces before they quietly walked away.

"Madam," Butler Hubert called, shifting his attention to the Old Madam. "Is this okay now?"

Old Mrs. Pierson nodded, her eyes still on the photo. The gleam in her eyes slowly turned moist until she was teary. Before she knew it, tears were already falling down her wrinkled cheeks.

As if Butler Hubert anticipated this, he quickly pulled out a white handkerchief. She took it while he watched her wipe the corner of her eyes. While all of this was happening, Butler Hubert turned his head toward the entrance upon hearing Allison’s voice.

Butler Hubert offered Allison a subtle smile and took a step back to give them space. Still, he stayed nearby, just in case the Old Madam started bawling.

"Grandma," Allison sweetly draped her arm around Old Mrs. Pierson, leaning her head on her shoulder. Snapping her eyes to the chaotic class picture on the wall, her eyes softened as her lips curled up. "Aren’t they lovely, Grandma?"

Old Mrs. Pierson nodded, trying her best to hold back the tears that threatened to escape her eyes. "It is... lovely. My Renren didn’t have a normal school life because of his health conditions, but... I’m glad to see him wear a school uniform at least once."

"He looked so happy," she added softly, unable to look away from the photo. "They all look so happy."

Allison nodded, her eyes also on the photo. "They do, Grandma."

"Thank you, my dear." Old Mrs. Pierson tilted her head toward Allison while the latter flashed her a smile. "For bringing this to me."

"Slater mentioned that Zoren didn’t have any class pictures, so I thought this would do," said Allison. "I’m glad you liked it, Grandma."

The two of them nodded at each other in approval before returning their gaze to the portrait.

The class picture they were talking about wasn’t even a formal class photo. It was from the reunion they had. The photo was chaotic, with only a few people smiling at the camera. Their eyes scanned the annoyed look on Atlas, who was side-eyeing Hugo. After all, Hugo had his arm over Atlas’s shoulder and his other arm draped over another of his friends.

Next to them were Dean and Jonathan glaring at each other. Just one look, and it was clear that whatever they were saying when the photo was taken had made each other’s blood boil. But what made them stand out was the hand holding a heart shape between them—Ray. There was also Nina smiling awkwardly while Lily struck a kissy pose to her side. Ginnie was sticking her tongue out while head locking Max.

Then, Penny and Zoren, at the back, right in the middle, held their arms to make one big heart. Right beside them were Slater and Benjamin, looking at them in disbelief, their hands forming the letter C—an incomplete heart.

It was a chaotic "class" photo — which actually wasn’t a class photo. But it was a photo that warmed the Old Madam’s heart.

"I hope they’re enjoying their trip," Old Mrs. Pierson whispered with a smile.

"Ick!" Lily froze in place as she looked around cautiously. "He’s not in here, right?"

Ginnie laughed. "Didn’t you see Mark take the black panther away?"

"Kyahh!! Now I’m getting even more scared!" Lily screamed and started stress-eating, making Nina a bit concerned. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
