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

Chapter 1311: Just not tonight

[SKYLINE PLAZA]

When they got home, Penny chose the closest room to the master bedroom for Nina. After what had happened tonight, she knew Nina might need some company.

"Penny, thank you," Nina said as soon as she placed her stuff down on the bed, facing Penny. "Really, thank you. And I'm sorry for crashing at your place so unexpectedly."

"You have no idea how many unoccupied rooms this place has," Penny replied, leaning against the stand with her arm propped on the surface. "Are you sure you'll be fine here tonight? Or should I stay with you?"

Nina shook her head. "I don't think your husband would love that."

And she was right-Zoren, who was leaning outside the room, nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then." Penny smacked her lips. "By the way, you should let Finn know you'll be staying here tonight."

"About that..." Nina slowly walked up to Penny, her eyes gleaming with innocence.

Seeing this, Penny narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "You don't want to tell Finn what happened tonight?"

"Finn is just going to worry," Nina sighed. "And he's been doing better lately. I don't want to burden him, especially with our family dinner tomorrow."

Nina knew that telling Finn about the disturbing gift was the right thing to do. However, there were already too many things weighing on his mind. She didn't want to add to Finn's worries when he already had enough to think about.
