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

Chapter 468

Chapter 468: I'm sorry, Penny.

Just this morning, Penny told herself that, as much as possible, she didn't want to compare her past to her present life. She had changed, and so had everyone else. However, tonight, she couldn't help it.

A simple dinner with her siblings was all she had ever wanted before, especially since they each had their own lives and paths to follow.

Her brows knitted slightly as their eyes met. "Of course, why wouldn't I?"

"Nothing." He averted his gaze, looking ahead. "Just asking."

Penny tilted her head slightly, studying his profile. She knew her brother well, and she knew Atlas wouldn't ask a question like that without reason.

'Am I still too distant to them?' she wondered, looking away, lost in thought. 'But compared to before, I've opened up to them more.'
