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

Chapter 1303: An ominous gift

Nina's only reason for going to Mama was to help Allison and Jessa and to see if there was anything she could do before the family meeting. However, what she got in return was much better than she had expected. Even so, she was grateful if not for Allison and Jessa, she would have spent the whole night overthinking the family meeting.

"Always lock your doors and windows, alright?" Charles reminded her from the driver's seat, glancing at Nina as she stepped out of the car. "And don't open the door immediately to anyone. You have to check first who it was, alright?"

Nina flashed him a smile, lowering her head slightly. She caught Allison's smile from the front passenger seat. "Thank you, Dad. Mom." She paused and turned her gaze to the back seat, where Jessa was. "Thanks, Aunt Jessa."

"Why don't you just come home tonight, huh?" Jessa suggested irritably. "Goodness, it's been a while since you visited. Yuri cries herself to sleep because she misses you."

"If Yuri is crying, I'm sure it's because of her boss," Nina quipped. "Take care on your way."

With that, she took a step back, intending to send them off before heading inside. "Goodnight," she said, waving at them mildly.

"Don't send us off, Nina," Allison said gently. "Just go in first."

"That's right. Why are you sending us off? Go in now, it's late," Jessa added before Charles backed them up. "It's better if we see you get inside safely before we leave. Hurry."

A soft chuckle escaped Nina. She was used to this kind of treatment. But for once, she wanted to send them off first. Unfortunately, with all three of them insisting, she could only comply.

"Okay, then." She hummed. "Take care on your way. I'm going in now."

Lowering her head slightly, Nina didn't dawdle and quickly went inside. She knew them too well — especially Charles. They wouldn't leave until they saw her safely inside. So, she didn't waste a breath. Even so, once she was inside, she walked straight to the window to check.

"It's not like something will happen now that I'm in front of my own place," she mumbled with a chuckle, her heart full. "And then, they kept wondering why I worry a lot."

Shaking her head, she closed the curtains and dragged her feet toward the living area. But before she did, she glanced at the entryway. Finn's shoes weren't there.

"I wonder if his parents have arrived," she muttered, slumping onto the couch and taking out her phone.
