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

93 A night of secret preparation

When Penny resigned to her bedroom, the three brothers stayed in the library. For the next three minutes, none of them spoke a word.

Time.

That was what she wanted, not a grandiose party or expensive gifts. Although she didn't specifically say whose time she wanted, they already assumed it was theirs.

Considering everyone had been busy, it was true they barely gave Penny the bare minimum of their time. Aside from Hugo, Atlas and Slater never gave her the time to get to know her that much. They simply took everything for granted, thinking they were already eating together, going to school together, and even studying together.

None of those things were considered bonding.

They go to school together because they have no choice. They ate together because that was what their parents wanted. And they study together because of a bet.

With this realization, Atlas couldn't help but lower his eyes. "Slater, do you want to do some extra lessons?" he asked after a minute, making Slater's brows rise. "We can still buy Penny a gift, but I think she'll also appreciate it if we focus on her tomorrow."

"Oh." Slater automatically nodded. "Right. Okay. If that's okay with you."

It was always okay for Atlas to teach his little brother. It was just that Penny volunteered because she wanted Atlas to focus..

"It's okay." Atlas offered a subtle smile. "Hand me your notes and tell me what you don't understand.

"All the things that we covered are already okay," Slater murmured, which surprised Atlas a little. He chuckled and awkwardly added, "Penny's a good teacher. But she handed me this lesson plan she did in case I find it in my heart to do some advanced lessons."

Slater politely handed Atlas the lesson plan Penny made during their first study lesson. Skimming the lesson plan, Atlas couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"She did all of this?" asked Atlas, and Slater nodded. "Oh."

Atlas couldn't help but gaze at the lesson plan again, amazed that a thirteen-year-old organized the lessons according to Slater's capacity. No wonder Slater was progressing.
