Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Thursday guy

Penny missed one subject because she made sure Keith’s swollen face would ease while the rest of the boys rested in the infirmary. But the day went by without any more events.

In the van, Nina glanced at Penny, who was busy looking out the window. The van was big, with each row only having two separate seats. They were at the front, while Atlas and Slater were at the back. Hugo went home using his bike, so it was just the four of them.

"Penny, are you alright now?" Nina broke the silence in a worried tone. "You missed one subject because you said you had a headache. Are you okay now?"

As soon as Atlas heard that, he took a quick peek at Penny.

Penny casually looked back at the little princess next to her and smiled. "I’m okay."

"Good." Nina heaved a sigh. "You missed the surprise quiz, but I already told our teacher about the situation. You can take the quiz tomorrow."

Of all the times Nina could’ve said this, she chose now?

Penny mentally applauded Nina’s consistency. "Thanks."

"You’re welcome." Nina smiled and secretly glanced at her brothers.

Atlas was reading his book while Slater quietly looked out of the window. She pressed her lips, casting Penny another look.

The three of them shared the same aura, but somehow, although it was quiet, it was also peaceful. But this annoyed Nina for some reason. She felt like Penny was mimicking their brothers.

’Should I talk to her more?’ she wondered, thinking that would reassure their brother that she was looking after Penny. ’But Eldest Brother... rarely rides with us.’

Nina pursed her lips as she glanced at Atlas. She decided it was much better if she kept quiet since Atlas had been very irritable the closer his exam was.

As for Penny, she couldn’t help but feel that she was forgetting something.

’Did I forget something today?’ she asked herself while thinking about her pets. ’No, it’s not them, but why do I feel like I forgot something very important?’

Penny racked her brains while staring out the window. It almost made her brain hurt because, deep in her heart, she knew she was forgetting something. Her brain was just too occupied with other things that she couldn’t figure out what it was.

However, when their van entered the subdivision and drove past a street, Penny’s eyes dilated as her entire face froze. She finally remembered what she was forgetting today.

’Uh oh... the Thursday guy!’

When their van reached the Bennet mansion, Penny quickly jumped off in haste.

"Huh?" Nina furrowed her brows, a bit surprised at Penny’s returned vitality. ’Did she run off to brag to Mom and Dad?’

Her face turned sour, assuming Penny was rushing back inside so she could immediately snag their parent’s attention.

Slater, on the other hand, furrowed his brows while watching Penny’s figure bolt inside. Watching her run, she looked cute. But Slater would never unsee what he already witnessed. Her viciousness was already etched in his brain.
