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

244 Home sweet home, indeed.

Meanwhile...

Knock, knock.

Atlas sat on the couch in his room, his laptop on the coffee table. When he heard a knock on the. door, he looked over his eyeglasses and watched as it opened. There, peeking her head in, was Penny.

"Penny," he called as he took off his eyeglasses. "What is it this time?"

Penny left the door slightly ajar and skipped over to where he was. Bouncing a little on the couch, she stretched her lips into a wide smile until her teeth were showing.

"First Brother, I haven't done anything yet!" 5

"Yet. So you're planning on doing something?"

"And if she didn't tell me, I wouldn't know you're willing to marry another man for my sake."

He froze as his face slowly turned red, making her giggle. Atlas reached for the cushioned pillow beside him and threw it straight at her face.

"Shut up," he breathed out.

"Not. Penny."

Penny chuckled and grabbed the pillow, pulling it down from her face. "If you're so embarrassed. about it, why say it?"

Atlas avoided her gaze for a reason. Wasn't it obvious that he was trying to protect her from the elders' interests? Although Atlas wasn't joking about that. After all, he was the eldest and had to protect his younger siblings no matter what even if they were already adults, s Penny chuckled weakly and placed the pillow on her lap.
