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

She clicked her tongue and shook her head, leaning back toward Zoren.

"If I didn’t, they wouldn’t put their earplugs on so quickly."

Another chuckle escaped him. He shook his head and glanced at the front. The partition was already up, and knowing those two, they had definitely blocked their ears by now.
