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

"Ahh! I can't do this anymore!" Nathaniel wept as he slumped in the pit, gazing up at the surface. "Miss Penny! I mean, Mrs. Penny-no, goddess! Have mercy on me, please! Don't make me dig my own grave!"

"I'm tired! Okay! I'm not going to complain! But can we continue this tomorrow?! I swear I'll dig very deep-deeper than six feet! I promise!"

"Miss Penny!! I'm hungry! All workers need to take a break from time to time-l might get dehydrated!" he added. "Please. Let me have some snacks! Even those on death row get to eat their last meal!"

Even how he drank the water was in huge gulps.
