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

Chapter 467: A date with first brother

If there was another thing Atlas excelled at, it was blowing up all his dates.

In recent years, Penny had heard about Atlas going on dates-sometimes unwillingly-since he was the current head of the family. The Bennet Family was rather traditional and strict, still adhering to old teachings regarding marriage, family, gender roles, and hierarchy.

"Well, thank you," Penny said, briefly raising her brows as the food was served, her eyes snapping at the man across from her. "First Brother, I hope you don't blow this date like you do with everything else."

Atlas looked at her with an air of arrogance. "I blow up my dates on purpose."

"Haha. Is that so?" Penny shrugged, a bit doubtful.

Her first brother might not have been eager to attend all the dates he had in the past, but Penny was certain he wouldn't just rudely ruin them. Still, Atlas had a knack for breaking hearts or unintentionally riling people up.

Before she could speak again, the server arrived and began pouring juice into a wine glass.

"I don't drink a lot," Penny muttered, shifting her gaze back to Atlas. "But juice in a wineglass? First Brother, I don't think this is a good combination."

"But it looks like wine. There's not much difference aside from taste."

"That's a huge difference."

Atlas kept his lips drawn into a thin line, silently agreeing with her though not about the wine, but rather the effects it might have on her.

"Just be thankful," he said. "Don't be so ungrateful."

"Tch." Penny clicked her tongue. "I wouldn't be surprised if, by the end of this date, I'm not the one learning how to be treated by a man, but rather the other way around, and you'd learn how to treat a woman."

Atlas frowned but didn't argue. He simply said, "We'll see about that."

Her response was a gleeful smile. Just as Penny was about to start slicing the steak, Atlas set down his cutlery.

"Here," he said, lifting his plate and reaching for hers. He skillfully swapped her plate with his, which was already cut into portions.
