107 Wishes do come true
Everyone anticipated that Penny would be so surprised that she might cry tears of joy. Atlas's meticulous planning arrangements were flawless, and everyone had thoughtfully chosen gifts for her. Despite their limited time, they had managed it all.
So, everyone was in high spirits with great expectations.
But instead of reacting with joy, Penny turned away from them. What was happening? Was she not happy? Or perhaps she was hiding her tears?
As curiosity ran in the family, Butler Jen gazed down at her with furrowed brows. Penny stared back with a blank expression, her chest heaving as if she were hyperventilating. Her complexion was pale, as though she had seen a ghost.
"Miss Penny Butler Jen squatted down in front of her, worried. "Are you okay?"
Penny didn't answer immediately as she stared at him, wide-eyed.
Myriads of questions raced through her mind at the moment. Why were these people here? Shouldn't they be elsewhere? In her previous life, although they didn't celebrate Nina's 13th birthday grandly, they still acknowledged it with Nina. They greeted Penny, but all the attention was on Nina.
What had changed? Had she done something wrong? Or had Jessa disagreed to let them have Nina, giving them no choice but to celebrate hers?
The last thought that crossed her mind brought clarity to her. That must be it, she thought. After all, in her first life, they were her priority, but... she was simply their option.
"Miss Penny?" Butler Jen's voice brought her back to the current lapse.
Penny managed a subtle smile. It was a relief she hadn't expected much; it spared her from al bitter disappointment.
"I'm okay," she said softly before she turned around to face them. "Thank you."
She wore a kind smile, but everyone felt that a gigantic wall suddenly appeared between them. The creases on their faces faded.
Penny forced her smile wider, more eager to escape this scenario. "So nice! But I just remembered Mouse might've finished its food. I need to give her some snacks." She lowered her head and turned around to leave.
