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

61 Fled for his life

When they reached home, Butler Jen welcomed them back as part

of his routine.

"We're home," Atlas announced lazily, watching their parents turn their heads at the entrance.

Allison and Charles looked at each other in surprise. It was rare for Atlas to announce they were home. It was usually Slater or Nina.

"Kids, how's school?" Allison trudged to meet them halfway.

"Good," Atlas answered with the same languid tone, but this surprised the couple even more.

"Seems like my eldest is in a good mood?" Charles couldn't help but point it out.

Although Atlas's tone didn't carry any interest or excitement, he would usually not answer fast. Or when he was reciting a math solution in his head, he wouldn't answer at all. "Mom!" Slater happily approached his mother, but this time, he didn't hug her. "School's okay today."

"Is it?"

He didn't get picked on throughout the day and it was the first time Slater didn't have to change into a new pair of uniform.

"Penny!" Charles exclaimed as soon as he caught the little bouncy thing approaching.

He quickly rushed to her but didn't dare carry her in his arms. He learned from Haines's mistake.

"Hi, dad!" Back to her adorable self, Penny smiled brightly at her

father.

Seeing her smile was enough to take away Charles's exhaustion. It was his first day back to his original working schedule, but all he could think of was spending time with her.
