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

Chapter 1123: Something is wrong with him

Days passed in the blink of an eye, and before anyone knew it, the trip was almost nearing its end. Penny and Zoren spent most of their days with their friends, but they made the best of their private time at night.

So far, the energy of the group remained the same. If anything, they were more comfortable with each other after four days of seeing each other's faces.

But something was bothering Penny.

"Hmm..." Penny rubbed her chin, narrowing her eyes suspiciously. When she caught James walking back to where she was from the yacht's deck, she grabbed him and sat him beside her.

James was caught off guard, his eyes wide with surprise. He didn't know what happened until he felt himself fall into the seat. Turning his head, deep lines appeared between his brows.

"Penny?" he called in confusion. "What is it this time? I swear I'm not working your brother to the bone after this trip!"

"Shh!" Penny hushed, keeping her suspicious eyes on someone. "Tell me, what's wrong with him?"

"What about him?" he blurted out. "He's having a moment of peace...?" "No," Penny shook her head at him. "Something's wrong with him."

"Is there? I think he's perfectly normal to me."

"He's not."

"What made you say that?"

Initially, James thought it was because Mint wasn't bringing any posters or Slater's merchandise for him to sign, and that Mint came there expecting a real date. Hence, Slater was extra harsh to her because Slater
