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

Atlas stopped walking for a moment so Zoren could catch up. However, he didn't need to, because Zoren reached him almost immediately.

"First Brother?" Zoren tilted his head, his eyeglasses sliding down his nose. "Is everything alright?"

Atlas glanced up at him coldly. "Does Penny know you're here?"

Even so, Atlas narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Are you sure you didn't try to hit on my thirteen-year-old sister?"

"Back then, I didn't..." Zoren rubbed his chin as he pondered. "... but now-" "Stop right there."
