Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Penny’s back

"Who’s that?"

"Hmm?" Nina raised her head to the well-dressed man beside her. "Oh, you mean her?"

She glanced back at the window and smiled, before refocusing her attention on her fiancé. "That’s Penny."

"That’s Penny?"

"Mhm! She’s changed a lot, hasn’t she?" Nina chuckled. "I’m working on her office — did I tell you about that?"

"No, but Penny’s back?" The man tilted his head, more interested in Nina’s cousin than her current project.

Nina blinked and nodded. "Mhm."

"Since when?"

"Since... not long ago...?" Nina furrowed her brows. "Finn, why are you asking?"

Finn smiled gently. "Just curious. She was quite popular back at Summit Academy."

"Well, yeah. Haha." Nina chuckled. "I remember everyone wearing accessories with her face on them. You were even part of her fan club, right?"

"Yes. Does she still remember me?"

"I’m not sure," Nina sighed, thinking Penny’s interests had always been different.

Nina had already shared many details about her personal life with Penny, yet Penny would often ask about things Nina had already told her. It didn’t bother Nina, but she wasn’t sure if Penny would remember someone like Finn.

"Maybe?" Nina added with a shrug. "After all, you used to be in the star section."

Finn gazed at his beautiful fiancée and couldn’t help but smile. Seeing this, Nina blushed slightly. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She pouted. "Is there something on my face?"

"No," Finn chuckled, caressing her cheek with the back of his hand. "I just missed you and you’re more pretty than ever."

Nina pursed her lips and clasped his hand. "I missed you too, Finn. Welcome back."

"Haha. I wasn’t away that long, was I?"

"But it felt like forever." Nina leaned her head on his shoulder, sliding her fingers with his. "I really missed you. And next time, please come out and at least greet Mom and Aunt. Their opinion of you means a lot to me."

"Next time."

Finn leaned back, smiling as he let her lean on him. "I missed you too," he said softly, glancing towards the restaurant. He caught sight of Penny watching their car move away and smirked.

In the headmaster’s office of the Summit School of Excellence Academy, all the lights were off. The only source of light was a desk lamp, casting a dim glow over a mountain of paperwork.

Ray sighed for the umpteenth time, sitting behind the desk, his mind drifting despite the task at hand.

"It’s his fault," he grumbled, thinking of his stubborn cousin. "He always worries me unnecessarily."

In the past, Ray and Dean had gotten along well despite the tension between Dean and Zoren. After all, Ray’s family wasn’t directly involved with the Pierson Family. Moreover, Renren always assured him that whatever problems he had with Dean, Ray was out of it.
