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

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!"

Skeptical, Penny squinted her eyes at Slater. Since when did this brother become so enthusiastic about their study session? Most times, she had to drag him to the library with her.

"You better stay there until Butler Jen calls you for dinner!" Slater pointed a finger at her, making her flinch a little. "Stay!"

After saying that as if she was a dog, Slater jogged and followed his brothers.

Left alone in front of her room, Penny looked at their backs and tilted her head. "What's wrong with everybody?"

"Chunchun-! Tiana-! Mouse-!" Her thoughts about the situation outside of her room dissipated at the sight of her pets. Penny quickly took off her bag and rushed to hug them. "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:
