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

Chapter 965: What the hell is wrong with Penny?

"Penny."

"Huh?" Charles turned to his side where Haines was seated in the van. "Did you just call my daughter?"

Haines was staring at his phone, his lips evidently curling downward. When he turned to face Charles, his expression showed exhaustion, as if he were fed up with Penny's antics.

Charles smiled. "What did my daughter do now, Haines?"

"Hahaha!" Jessa laughed, slapping Haines's back, making him hunch over with each slap. "Hahaha!"

"Jessi..." Allison sighed, standing near her husband and Haines's table. "Stop slapping Haines's back. He can't eat his food with Grandma Pierson's message. Slapping his back isn't going to help."

"HAHAHA! But it's about time!" Jessa rested her hands on Haines's chair, wiggling her brows playfully. "You old man should find a wife. Penny's in-law is right! You can't stay a third wheel all your life and..."

Jessa trailed off as a glint flickered across her eyes. Her gaze landed on Charles. "And so you can stop supporting this guy's insanity." freewebnovel.com

"Insanity? Hah! Jessa Cortez, between you and me — you're insane! You belong in the asylum—ack!" Charles almost bit his tongue as a hand suddenly flew to the back of his head. When he looked up while rubbing the back of his head, his eyes turned round and wiggly as he looked at his wife. "Ali... have you not forgiven me yet?"

"Charles, it doesn't mean that just because I'm talking to you, I'm not disappointed in you anymore," Allison huffed. 'If not for Jessa, I wouldn't even talk to him. I'm just scared Jessa would kill him if I didn't talk to him.'

"Ali, my honey... please forgive me just this once..."
