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

174 The learning continues for everyone

Meanwhile, Hugo stayed in his room as soon as they reached home. Since they left the station, his mind had been stuck on the family he encountered. He was in disbelief that such injustice could happen and even with the authorities involved, there was nothing that was done.

Hugo blinked and turned to the door, catching Atlas peek at the gap.

"You okay?" Atlas asked without even taking a step inside.

"Do I not look okay?"

"Yes"

Hugo chuckled and moved, adjusting his position on the bed. Atlas took this as an invitation to get inside the room, not daring to sit on his brother's bed with his outdoor clothes.

Yet...

"Why do you always lay down on your bed with your outdoor clothes?" Atlas couldn't help but ask. "That's disgusting"

"Did you come here to comfort me? Or criticize me?"

"Comfort you, but this habit is disturbing."

Hugo let out a deep sigh while Atlas decided to drop the subject.

"What happened while you were gone with Penny?" Like always, Atlas didn't beat around the bush. "I know something happened and you guys just don't want to tell us." "First Brother, is there something that goes past your eyes?"
