Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1269

Chapter 1269: You owe me one

[SKYLINE PLAZA: Zoren’s]

In the guest house, Nathaniel lay comfortably on the bed. He was hugging a pillow, smiling in his sleep as he had a pleasant dream.

In this dream, he was in the middle of a meadow—one he had planted and nurtured, and now, it had grown beautifully.

"So peaceful," he whispered, inhaling the soft wind filled with the scent of flowers. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile. He spread his arms wide, enjoying this time of tranquility.

Ever since Penny had asked him to dig, Nathaniel had continued digging and digging. He nearly uprooted the entire backyard until Zoren told him to plant flowers instead. He could’ve sworn Zoren only noticed because someone reported that Nathaniel had almost started digging a foundation for a bunker.

If not for that, Nathaniel would’ve dug his way to hell, and no one would have known.

Still, because of that, Nathaniel had slowly grown accustomed to the life of gardening. He found it peaceful and therapeutic. Although Penny sometimes gave him orders, they were too easy. Now, he was enjoying his time in this household and had been living as quietly as a dead rat.

It wasn’t far-fetched to say Nathaniel wouldn’t mind gardening for the rest of his life. Zoren was kind enough to add him to his payroll, there was free food, and Nathaniel had a room he didn’t need to pay for!

Wasn’t this the greatest?

Another person might say the downside was that Nathaniel couldn’t go out. Not that he wasn’t allowed to, but he knew he might drop dead if he was found by the people he had offended in the underground. Besides, he was an introvert. Therefore, he enjoyed the peacefulness and solitude.

"Even in my dreams, I am at peace," he told himself. "Once everything is settled, I’ll just buy a house somewhere in the province and become a farmer."

A satisfied look dominated his face.

Little did he know, while he was having a nice dream and planning his future in it, a few figures were standing right next to his bed.

Penny crossed her arms, her eyes down on the sleeping Nathaniel. Renny was seated beside her on the floor, waiting for her command. Chunchun, on the other hand, found a spot on the bed to sit on.

"He looks like he’s having a nice dream," Penny remarked quietly. "Chunchun, wake him up."

Meow.

Chunchun yawned a bit, raising its paw and casually placing it over Nathaniel’s mouth to stop his snoring... and his airways. After a moment, Nathaniel jolted awake at the sudden loss of oxygen. When he did, he was startled upon seeing a cat beside him.

"What the—" Nathaniel was about to jump out of bed upon seeing Chunchun, only to stop when a huge paw landed on his leg. He froze in an instant, his eyes meeting the predatory gaze staring back at him.

"Don’t worry," Penny’s voice suddenly caressed his ears. "I need you to do something."

Slowly, Nathaniel shifted his eyes to where Penny was standing. He gulped as Chunchun jumped to his feet, standing close to Penny.

’I just... found out what I want to be in this life,’ he told himself, scanning the black and white cat before lifting his eyes to its owner. ’I don’t feel good about this.’

Besides, couldn’t this wait?

How could Penny just trespass into the guest house in the middle of the night?!

Seeing the corner of Penny’s mouth curl up, Nathaniel watched his dream of becoming a farmer shatter.
