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

278 What is he doing here?

Following the cat and getting ambushed by a weird frog resulted in Zoren making a friend good friend he never thought he would ever have in this world... or in this lifetime. T

She was kind, warm, and honest.

She was a good person with a big heart to spare. Yet, she was also fierce and wise, always ready to protect her heart from any potential threat.

It was why Zoren didn't want to die, or at least, he wanted to live longer. It was why, even if the thought of death crossed his mind, he wouldn't want to say it aloud or manifest it again. Because if he did, it would hurt her, and it would break the promise he made to her. [Present Time]

Seated on the camping chair placed by the side of the road, Zoren casually sniffed the steam rising from the hot tea in his hand. Every Thursday, Benjamin would drop him off here and then return after a few hours to pick him up.

But this time, Benjamin didn't leave. Instead, he parked at the end of the street far enough not to bother his boss, but close enough to act if danger approached.

"Thursday Girl..." Benjamin sighed heavily. "I don't think she'll ever come. From what I've heard, the last time they saw each other was twelve years ago." Twelve years was a long time.

Zoren had already made that clear.

Wasn't that odd?

She smiled at Butler Jen, picked up Chunchun, and followed Haines to the other study, which was right
