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

Normally, Penny would’ve known she should be using one of the spare bathrooms, as she was simply a guest in the house. But because of the rush she felt, she ended up going straight to the master bedroom, which was also Zoren’s room.

Penny only realized this when she closed the bathroom door behind her. As she lifted her eyes to the unnecessarily huge bathroom, her mouth fell open. A slap of poverty struck her right in

the face.

It wasn’t just a bathroom with a bathtub, a shower, a sink, and the necessities usually found in a bathroom. There were extra things like a television, a couch on the side, a small chiller for wine, and more.

“Wow,” she whispered. “I could live here.” *

All it needed was a small kitchen, and it would be perfect. Penny shook her head, wondering what Zoren was thinking or doing in the bathroom to need all of this. 4

Did he have two bathrooms? She was sure this wasn’t the same bathroom she used the last time

she was here.

“Ah, no.” She shook her head and slapped her cheeks. “I need to start my day.” Even though her morning felt like a rollercoaster, she had a company to run.

With that thought in mind, Penny locked the door and decided to just use this bathroom. She had already kissed Zoren; the least he could do was lend her his bathroom. But just as she locked the door, Penny heard the bedroom door outside creak open.

The main door to the bedroom wasn’t supposed to creak, nor should its sound have reached her ears. But alas, it did, and she froze.

‘Did he follow me here? she wondered, wide–eyed. What? Don’t tell me he came to finish what we started?”

Her face quickly turned red just when she was recovering. Thinking about what had been happening before Benjamin arrived, Penny bit her lip. Again, her heart thudded loudly until it echoed in her ears. She couldn’t help but glance at the bathroom behind her, knowing there was plenty of space where they could do it.
