Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497: Hold my popcorn

After Penny’s quick visit to the prison, she briefly reflected on the exchange she’d had with her brother’s attacker. However, by the time she reached her office, she didn’t think much of it anymore. She had already gotten what she wanted.

While questioning the man and riling him up, Penny had obtained the answers she was after. All she really wanted to know was how and why the man claimed Slater had killed him. Though she didn’t get a full explanation, she had her suspicions.

It was likely one of two things: either Slater and the man had made an agreement, and Slater betrayed him, or the man had betrayed Slater, forcing him to defend himself. Either way, it didn’t matter anymore.

Letting out a shallow breath, Penny glanced at the couch in her office. "Third Brother, are you really planning to stay here all day until I go home?" she asked the person lounging on it.

When she arrived at the office, Slater was already there, waiting with packed lunches for her.

Slater lazily cast her a look. "Penny, are you kicking me out?"

"No, I’m just wondering if you have any other plans."

"Nope. I don’t have work." He sighed, turning his attention back to his phone. "Penny, I’m so bored. Let’s go do something fun."

"Do you think we’re kids and that I don’t have responsibilities? Can’t you see this mountain of paperwork? Even with Dad and Uncle Haines helping me, it’s still not enough."

Slater glanced at the stack of papers on her desk before looking away. "K."

Penny pressed her lips together, resting her chin in her hands as she continued to watch her third brother. ’He isn’t used to having nothing to do anymore, huh?’

A subtle smile crept onto her face as she stared at Slater longer than she had intended. After her encounter with the man who had tried to stab Slater, she felt a renewed sense of gratitude. If she hadn’t returned with the memories of her previous life, this third brother could have ended up in the hospital—or worse, dead.

"Hm?" Sensing her gaze, Slater looked up. "Penny, what’s up? Why are you staring at me like that? Are you thinking of kicking me out?"

"No." Penny smiled softly. "I’m just thinking about where we should go."

"Huh?"

"You said you were bored."

"But you also said you have a mountain of paperwork."

Penny smacked her lips and glanced at the papers on her desk. "That’s true, but another day of procrastination wouldn’t hurt, right? Besides, I can always finish them later."

"Really?" Slater sat up, his face lighting up. "You want to go out with me?"

"Not right now," she said, checking her wristwatch. "But in two hours, once I clock out, I’m free for the night."

"Okay!" Slater’s excitement was palpable. "I’ll start looking for places we can go!"

’I’ve been taking him for granted,’ she thought. ’I should give him more of my attention before I start staying at Renren’s place.’

’I still can’t believe I’m married to the man I love so much.’ She smiled to herself, her eyes squinting with happiness.
