34 Thinking of its survival

The twins and Penny nonverbally agreed not to talk about the little incident, thinking it was not important. It was a passing event they would eventually forget.

Jessa made a fuss about her purchases but didn't dwell on it so much. So, after a long day, their day together

came to an end.

"Penny, today is fun. Let's do this again sometime!" Yuri enthusiastically remarked.

"Your birthday is in a week. How about we go then? Mom has to cancel our trip, but I think she can book it again. She said she has plenty of money." Yugi didn't hold back despite Butler Jen and Hugo being present, who knew where his mother got the money. "We'll have a lot more fun together!"

Penny smiled at the two, reminded that she would be

officially thirteen in a week. But with the current situation, she couldn't easily agree. "I don't know about that yet..."

"Penny, don't worry about that as well," Jessa spoke, and again, Penny looked up at her auntie with doubt.

34. Thinking of its survival

Jessa kept saying not to worry, but the effect of Penny every time was the opposite.

"We can always celebrate your birthday on other days. Fufufu~!" Jessa laughed evilly with the back of her hand covering the corner of her mouth.

Anyone would be worried about that gesture.

Hugo, who was standing behind Penny, couldn't help but lower his eyes at his sister. 'Right... Nina's birthday is in a week. That means it's also Penny's birthday.'

Hugo felt bitter that this hadn't crossed him yet.

"Auntie..." Penny sighed in defeat. "You're scary."

Jessa laughed even more. "Niece, don't be scared of me. Some should, though. Hah!"

"Anyway, take care on your way back." Jessa recomposed herself, specifically shifting her eyes to Butler Jen. "And you better take good care of her. If you don't, you're the first person I'll rip apart!" Penny choked at the bold warning Jessa spewed at Butler Jen. "Auntie!"

Butler Jen didn't mind, though. "Yes, Mrs. Cortez. I'll keep that in mind."

"Hmph!" Jessa raised her chin and arched a brow at Hugo.
