Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Straight to the point

Since it was Monday, the house was more peaceful than usual and Penny couldn’t be happier. She might have appeared indifferent to her siblings, but she was also careful around them. Her parents also told her they had some prior commitments, and they left together.

Finally, some time alone.

Watching Chunchun and Tiana play, Penny propped her cheeks with her hands. She was sitting on the grass with her legs crossed, deep in thought.

"Miss Penny, I brought you some orange juice."

Penny looked up, only to see Butler Jen placing down a glass of orange juice beside her. He had this gentle smile on his face, holding the tray in front vertically, but kept his bending posture so she wouldn’t hurt her neck looking up.

"Thank you, Butler Jen!"

Butler Jen nodded as he glanced at her pets. "Miss Penny, I noticed that you hadn’t taken Chunchun and Tiana to the vet. Should I schedule you an appointment?"

"Oh." Penny’s lips formed an o-shape as realization dawned on her. "Right. What an irresponsible parent. Thank you for reminding me, Butler Jen. And yes, please help me schedule an appointment, but if possible, not on Thursday."

Lines appeared on Butler Jen’s forehead. Why not on Thursday?

He didn’t ask, though. "Very well. I’ll do it right away."

Butler Jen excused himself to schedule an appointment. As he walked off, Penny kept her gaze on his back.

"I promised that kid that he could only see them on Thursday." Penny shook her head, having the main reason for wanting to fulfill her promise was because she gave her word.

As Penny returned to enjoying her peaceful time with a glass of orange juice, Butler Jen returned. He told her that he had already scheduled an appointment on Wednesday. However, even after relaying his message, Butler Jen remained in the vicinity.

Penny slowly shifted her eyes to Butler Jen, who had kept a safe distance from her. However, the distance was still not enough for her to ignore his presence.

"Butler Jen, is everything okay?" she asked curiously. "Why are you standing there?"

"Do I disturb your time, Miss Penny?"

"Not really... but it makes me think I’m doing something wrong or I’m being watched because I did something wrong."

Hearing this, Butler Jen quickly lowered his head. "Apologies, Miss Penny. I didn’t think it would make you feel uncomfortable."

Not uncomfortable per se... but it worried her.

"Butler Jen, are you... worried about me?" She tilted her head to the side because this was the only explanation she could think of if there wasn’t a problem.

Butler Jen smiled helplessly. "Your brothers and Miss Nina are in school and your parents left for some important matters. I thought it’d make you lonely if you were left alone in here."

Meanwhile, in a five-star restaurant in the middle of the city, Jessa sat in the private dining room. She looked around with a high brow, sucking her inner cheek as she assessed the surrounding.
