Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Piersons meets Bennets

Standing in front of the mirror, dressed in an elegant yet simple white dress, Penny’s lips curled into a smile. Slowly, a hand appeared on her shoulder—Allison, gazing at her daughter’s reflection from behind.

"It’s not even the wedding yet, and you’re already so stunning, my baby," Allison said, pressing her lips together as her eyes began to sting. "I can’t believe you’re... a woman now."

Penny turned to face her mother, who had been helping her prepare. She gently held Allison’s hand, fluttering her eyelashes tenderly. Penny didn’t say anything, sensing her mother was on the verge of tears.

Allison sniffled, stroking the side of Penny’s head. "If things get hard, just come home, okay?"

Penny nodded with a smile.

"You’re so pretty." Allison wiped the corner of her eyes, and Penny leaned in for an embrace. As she felt her daughter’s warmth, Allison pressed her lips tighter, another wave of tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

"Mama," Penny whispered, resting her chin on Allison’s shoulder, "I’ll visit with Renren and stay over. I’ll be here so often you won’t even feel like I’ve moved out. We’ll come so much that you and Dad will beg me to go back to my husband’s home."

She teased, tapping Allison’s back, just like she used to when consoling her.

"So, don’t cry so much," Penny added with a pout. "Renren is a good man, and he’ll take care of me."

"I know he is." Allison forced out a whimper, rubbing Penny’s back. She then clasped Penny’s shoulders, gently pushing her back to take a good look at her. Despite the tears in her eyes, she smiled brightly.

She cupped Penny’s slightly plump cheek, nodding. "So, you should take care of him too, okay?"

"Mhm." Penny hummed, her eyes squinting as her smile widened. "I’ll be just like you, Mom."

"Huh?"

"I’ll take care of him, just like how you take care of all of us."

Allison’s eyes softened. Though this contradicted the words Penny had said during that particular emotional outburst, it moved Allison to tears once again.

Knock, knock.

Both women turned as the door creaked open, revealing Butler Jen.

"Madam, Miss Penny," he called politely, smiling as though he didn’t notice Allison’s tears. "The Piersons have arrived."

Penny and Allison exchanged a glance before Penny reached out to wipe her mother’s tears. They chuckled together without a word, and then Allison took Penny’s hand.

"Shall we go?" Allison asked, managing her emotions.

"Mhm." Penny gently moved from holding her mother’s hand to linking her arm. "I’m ready."

With a nod of understanding, the two made their way downstairs, where Penny’s husband and his family were waiting. As they went down the stairs, they immediately spotted Charles and Haines in formal suits, with Atlas, Hugo, and Slater in smart casual attire. In front of them stood Zoren, Butler Hubert, and Old Mrs. Pierson.

When they sensed Penny’s presence, all eyes turned toward her.

Haines, Old Mrs. Pierson, Butler Hubert, Hugo, and Zoren were all on the "smiling team." Their faces light up at the sight of Penny with Allison. She looked like a princess, her hair styled in a fishtail braid, her light makeup accentuating her naturally elegant features, and her simple white dress completing the look.

She wasn’t wearing her wedding gown yet, but they all agreed she would look stunning in it. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

"Wow..." Hugo murmured in awe. "She looks like an angel." — Though maybe not if she were drunk.

"My princess is truly stunning," he muttered to himself, silently adding, ’No man will ever deserve her.’

Haines arched a brow, noticing Charles wiping away his tears. He chuckled to himself. ’Why am I surprised?’

’It’s not like they won’t see her again,’ Atlas thought. ’She’s only an hour away.’

Atlas glanced at Slater, amused by his mutterings. ’Does he think she’s like an item you can return?’ He wrinkled his nose before turning his attention to Hugo.

’Why is he smiling so much?’ Atlas wondered. ’Is he planning to move in with her?’
