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

92 Time

Penny darted her eyes between her brothers, who were also sitting around the table in the library. Tonight, strangely enough, Hugo was also here.

Hugo would always look after her pets as part of his "healing" journey, since he was still grounded. It was the reason Hugo was joining them in the service on their way to school.

'But something's off, Penny hummed as her gaze grew intense. They're hiding something from me. Hmm. They're not thinking of pulling a prank on me, right? I've had enough of that today." The three brothers pretended not to notice the growing intensity of her gaze. Atlas tried to focus on his lesson, but his mind was drifting on how to start questioning her. Hugo, on the other hand, was just staring at his note blankly. As for Slater, he just continued to scribble zeroes in his notebook 1)

"Penny." Atlas ran his tongue inside his mouth while looking at those pair of round eyes mirroring him. "Do you know what day is tomorrow?"

Slater and Hugo's face contorted. Didn't they agree to keep this as discreet as possible? Why was Atlas asking her about it?

"Tomorrow?" Penny rubbed her chin and pondered seriously. "Oh!"

The three brothers' breath hitched when she pounded the bottom of her fist against her palm.

"It's the showing of Upside Down!" Penny grinned. "Right. I put that in my calendar.

Their brows knitted and looked at her incredulously. "Is that all?" Atlas blurted out.

"Is there something else that's more important than that? Penny tilted her head to the side, thinking about her favorite movie of all time.
