Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 589

Chapter 589: Night night

[Skyline Plaza: Zoren’s Place]

Zoren and Hugo sat quietly in the living area. They had been there for over two hours, but they hadn’t said a word until now. Every once in a while, Hugo would cast Zoren a look, but the latter was just staring at the centerpiece between them.

"Brother Atlas told me Penny was there," Hugo broke the silence with the obvious, but Zoren still didn’t look away.

"I know. He called."

Hugo leaned back, spreading his legs and stretching them. "I guess she’d stay over there."

"She won’t."

"How are you so sure about that?"

"She said she’d come back." This time, Zoren slowly lifted his eyes to his brother-in-law. "I believe in her."

Hugo scrunched up his nose a bit, amused at Zoren’s faith in Penny. Not that Hugo didn’t believe in his sister, but he wasn’t so sure when she was drunk.

"Second Brother, if you’re sleepy, then you may go to bed. I’ll wait for her alone," Zoren suggested. "I’ll let you know once she’s back."

"It’s alright. I’ve already waited, so I might as well wait a bit longer." Hugo waved dismissively. "Besides, when I’m on the field, I barely sleep. Moreover, I don’t think I’d be able to rest, knowing my sister is out there drunk."

"Even if Penny, in a drunken state, has a clear mind."

"Clear?" Hugo cast Zoren a look, his brow arched. "You think that’s clear?"

"It’s confusing, but I believe there’s a reason. Do you not believe it?"

This time, Hugo didn’t answer. It would be a lie for him to say he didn’t believe his sister. Although the timeline of drunken Penny’s actions was messy, the look in her eyes was as clear as day.

Getting even more comfortable on the couch, Hugo gazed at the high ceiling.

"It doesn’t make any sense to me," he mumbled, recalling all his interactions with the drunken Penny. "I think my sister needs professional help."

"I’d suggest it to her. I have a whole list." _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

Hugo glanced at Zoren and decided to hold off any comments. "Any thoughts on why Penny thinks I should be dead?"

"No idea."

"It hurts my brain thinking about it." Hugo sighed once more, gazing heavenward as he was a little fed up with staring at Zoren. "I don’t think I should be dead. I mean, I know she’s not praying for my death... wait, does she think I’m dead because I’m a soldier?"

If not for that, then he would be out of options. After all, when Hugo first enlisted, Charles told him he had prepared a place for him in case Hugo came back in a box. Thank the heavens Hugo was still alive.

Zoren, on the other hand, was mulling over one word: reborn. Penny mentioned that in the letter—she told herself she was reborn. Although that wasn’t enough to get the entire context of the letter, it somehow confused him.

’Rebirth...’ he whispered to himself. ’... she was reborn?’
