Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228: A summary of their summer break

The vacation trip passed without the Bennet Family noticing. When one was enjoying, time was very quick to pass.

Once they got home, they spent their days doing the most menial thing. Everything was normal like usual, no grand events occurred. It was the usual routine; it was almost boring. Even so, they still found things to enjoy somehow.

They would accompany Penny whenever she had to review for her upcoming exam. Once she was done, her mother already finished the snacks she could enjoy. Her brothers would join her frequently, with Hugo forcing Atlas to take care of her pets. As for Slater, he eventually succeeded in touching Tiana for the first time after many squeals and cowardly moments. Tiana still preferred staying on top of Hugo’s head, though.

Although it was a summer break for the children, Charles had no breaks from work. Oh, how he wished he was a student as well. All his closed employees had to listen to their boss lament about wanting a summer break, only for Haines to break his drama by saying, "Go on an entire vacation and go homeless after months."

As for Haines, he was already preparing to leave the country and was finishing all the other work he had and could do to help the main branch. Haines would look after Penny, which was why he didn’t mind her departure. It would be Uncle and Penny’s time. The only downside of this was Charles had been nagging him to exchange office every single time they shared the same space.

And just like that, the day before Penny’s exam day arrived.

Idling in the garden as the children were having a picnic, Slater gazed at Penny.

"Penny, why aren’t you studying?" Slater inquired as he was reaching out of the glass of juice. "Tomorrow is your exam, but you’re too relaxed."

Atlas, who was reading a book, glanced at Penny. ’I thought she was relaxing to purposely fail the exam to stay.’

"I already studied." Penny giggled and raised a finger. "Before the exam, one should relax."

"Why?" Hugo tilted his head to the side. "Shouldn’t you use that time to study more?"

Penny shook her head. "It probably works for others, but for me, I always let my brain breathe and absorb all the knowledge I studied about on the last day. Although I will still do a quick read, it won’t be the same as how I studied the past weeks."

This was a habit Penny learned in her previous life, and even though she was confident about passing the exam, she didn’t want to take chances. Therefore, she did some deep studying in the past weeks.

"Ohh..." Hugo rocked his head. "I’ll try that."

Slater also nodded. "That’s why on our last day of tutoring, we kind of relaxed, huh?"

Atlas glanced up, making a mental note to do that.

Penny chuckled as she grabbed another sandwiched. ’Good thing I also did some study materials for them.’ Although the study materials she did were mostly for Atlas, she knew Atlas would guide Hugo and Slater when she wasn’t with them to help.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen of the Bennet Household...

Allison, the in-house chefs, and even Butler Jen were seated around the table. They gazed at the dish before them like statues. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

"What?" Jessa, who was standing near the table, folded her arms. "Are you just going to stare at it?"

Currently, Jessa is practicing some dishes because she ended up joining the audition for the cooking show. She wasn’t officially a contestant yet and her audition was tomorrow. The audition would be like in the show. If she passed, she would be an official contestant on the show.

Therefore, she was practicing with Allison because Allison had a big kitchen. Moreover, it was Allison’s idea, so Allison shouldered all expenses for the dishes. It was a joint responsibility... that was what Jessa said.
