When the Bennet children returned home, they stopped at the sight of Allison, Jessa, and even the chefs in the dining. All of them were sitting around the dining room, their faces revealing their exhaustion. It didn't seem like they were ignoring each other. But more like they were too busy mentally cheering themselves up.

"Now, I feel bad for them, Penny muttered, thinking they wouldn't be so exhausted if not for the charity cause.

But then again, the food for tomorrow wasn't because Penny asked them to do it. Her brothers were the ones who proposed to take the role. "Penny, you and Slater should go first, Hugo remarked, earning his little sibling's attention. "First Brother and I will have to help in the kitchen."

"You mean the one you want to give a greeting card to?"

"Mhm."
