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

Chapter 469

Chapter 469: Something sweet, not spicy!

Never in her life had Atlas embraced Penny, not even when they were children. Unlike the emotional Slater and the affectionate Hugo, Atlas was allergic to any kind of physical closeness.
