Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Trying to get used to the life she was supposed to live

Was it the crying that made Nina fall asleep faster than supposed to? Or was it because she felt exhausted? Either way, that night, Nina slept like a child for the first time since coming into this household.

The twins couldn’t even help but stare at her door incredulously.

"She’s not crying," Yugi muttered, almost horrified.

Yuri blinked many times before she smiled. "This is the first," she said as she faced her brother. "Yugi, you should sleep early tonight. No need to worry about her."

"Who said I’m ever worried about her?" Yugi hissed and glared at Yuri. "Yuri, your imagination is growing wild. Take it easy."

Having said that, Yugi turned his back on her and went to his room. Meanwhile, Yuri couldn’t help but smile at her brother’s room and then at Nina’s.

"I wonder what Mom told her," she wondered but didn’t dwell on it. "Well, I hope this continues."

Every single night since Nina stepped into this household, Yugi and Yuri often hear her scream or throw tantrums. Initially, it irritated them, but they didn’t complain. But as time goes by, Nina’s tantrums slowly turn into endless cries.

Although Nina irritated them, they were also worried about her. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

Anyone would be worried if the other person right across their room cried every single night. Therefore, Yuri and Yugi often stand outside their rooms and watch Nina’s bedroom. Neither of them didn’t dare knock on those nights, though.

Tonight, however, Yuri’s heart was filled with optimism. She hoped tonight would be the start of Nina’s journey toward change.

The next day rolled in and, like always, everyone in the Cortez household went through their usual morning routine. Jessa cooked breakfast and prepared the children’s and her husband’s lunch boxes. As the family sat down around the dining table, everyone — except Jessa — paused.

Slowly, they turned to the staircase and saw Nina.

Nina pressed her lips meekly and instead of going straight to the front door, she placed her bag down on the couch. She then headed to the dining and joined them for breakfast.

The twins and their father kept their eyes on her longer than they should have.

"Do you all have plenty of time to waste?" Jessa’s remarks snapped them back to their senses.

"Ahem!" her husband cleared his throat. "Let’s eat."

Having said that, the family ate quietly. There was still this lingering fear Nina would start throwing shades or leave unnecessary comments that could ruin their day. But she didn’t. Nina ate quietly without creating a scene.
