Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

31 Miss you

Unfortunately, Penny got stuck with Hugo throughout the day. He didn't show any kind of sign he wanted to leave her alone and she didn't have the heart to chase

him away. It wasn't like he was bothering her or anything. So when dinner was over, she quickly went to her room to play with Chunchun and Tiana before bedtime.

As for Hugo, after dinner, he idled in his room for a while before he went to see his father.

Knocking on his father's study, he heard Charles say,

"Come in."

When Hugo stepped inside, he saw his father sitting behind the wooden desk. Charles was wearing glasses, tipping them down his nose as his eyes snapped over the rim of his glasses.

"Hugo? What are you doing here?" Surprised was evident in Charles's voice.

Hugo didn't speak until he was standing in front of the

table. "Dad, Penny mentioned she's going to meet her

cousins tomorrow."

"Oh..." Charles was a little confused. "Yes, she will."

"Can I accompany her?" the young lad didn't beat around the bush.

Ever since Penny mentioned meeting her cousins, who were like siblings to her, Hugo's intrigue was piqued. He wanted to see and understand why Penny would consider those twins like siblings. "Please don't send her away," he added when he didn't get a reply from his father.

Charles was lost for words.

Did Hugo think he was trying to send Penny away?

"Uh, Hugo, I'm not sending Penny away. Why would I do that?"

"Then, why did you agree?" Hugo's reply was faster than a bolt of lightning, not giving his father enough time to recover. "They might try to change her mind and ask her to return to them." "Hugo, that's not it." Charles sighed deeply, putting his glasses down. "The woman who raised her wants to make sure Penny is being treated well in here.
