91 Only the real daughter

"What's going on?" Penny looked up at her three brothers as they stood outside her room. "Is there something I should know?"

"No no!" Slater intoned while trying to conceal his nervousness. "We just thought that you should rest today before we start our study session!"

"I miss you all so much today!" s Meanwhile, Atlas, Hugo, and Slater didn't go to their rooms but went downstairs. Everyone was still there, confused at what had just happened. When Charles saw his sons coming down, he quickly stood up. "Atlas, why are you - Charles cleared his throat and reminded himself to conduct himself as a respectable father. "Why did you do that?"

"Dad, it's Penny's birthday tomorrow and you've all been planning to surprise her only to expose yourselves a day before. Hugo was the first one to speak. "It's her first birthday with us. It wouldn't be a surprise if you told her about it:
