Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Day out

Meanwhile, in the shopping mall in the city...

"Penny," Slater called, holding an ugly-looking stuffed toy in front of his face.

When Penny turned her head, her face remained the same when she saw the horrendous stuffed toy. But when Slater abruptly pulled it down, she flinched.

"Penny!" Slater gasped in disbelief. "How could you not flinch at the sight of this stuffed toy, but get surprised with my face?! I don’t look as horrible as this one!"

She deadpanned. "Really?"

"Hah!" he gasped again. "What’s with that look?!"

"Nothing." Penny looked away and set her eyes on the rack of greeting cards before her. She rubbed her chin, scanning the variety of greeting cards.

Slater glanced at the rack curiously. "Is someone having a birthday? Why are you looking for greeting cards?"

"For future purposes."

Future purposes? _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

Slater observed her side profile, unable to stop his imagination from thinking of her bags. Penny had many different sorts of stuff in her bags to the point one would wonder if she was even bringing a ladder.

’Is this how she usually prepares what to put in her bag, so she’s always ready?’ he wondered, assuming he was witnessing the ’behind the scenes’ of her magical bag.

"That one!" Penny’s eyes lit up and pointed at the top of the rack. However, she couldn’t reach it even if she tiptoed. Hence, she turned to Slater. "I like that one, but I can’t reach it. Can you get it for me?"

"Which one?"

"That!"

Slater leaned his head closer to her index that was pointing at the card as if he could see better if he did. "That one with the red and purple color?"

"Yes. Get it for me."

"Is that an order?" he frowned but still approached the rack to get the one she wanted.

Much to their dismay, Slater could barely reach it with his fingertips!

Penny gasped as she looked at her third brother in dismay. Looking at him, she realized Slater was still young and short — just like her! He was only several inches taller than her, but it was still the same!

’I forgot he’s a late bloomer,’ she mentally lamented.

Meanwhile, Slater’s face reddened in embarrassment. He didn’t even have the nerve to face her right now and see her reaction. This was embarrassing.

"Why would they make this rack so huge and tall!?" he gasped. "Isn’t this store for kids?! It’s not kid’s friendly! If anything, it’s dangerous...!"

While Slater concealed his embarrassment with his anger, a hand suddenly went over them and picked out the card. Looking back, all they saw was Atlas.

"Is this what you want?" asked Atlas to Penny, ignoring the dramatic Slater.

Penny smiled and nodded, accepting the card with both hands. "First brother, can you also get that other one? The yellow one!"

Atlas nonchalantly shifted his eyes to where she was pointing and unhesitatingly grabbed the one she liked.

"That other one too! The one next to it!"

’Why am I so short at my age?!’ Slater lamented in dismay. ’This is so embarrassing!’

[Eldest, you got this! Don’t come home until you maxed out that card! Buy everything that Penny needs and wants and everything that she laid her eyes on, alright?!]

"Alright," Atlas nodded and sighed. ’Until now, I can’t figure her out.’
