Pampered By My Three Brothers: The Return Of The Neglected Heiress - Chapter 1270

Chapter 1270: Kiss him if necessary!
[Bennet Mansion]

“Sir Haines?” Butler Jen stopped in the entryway when he saw Haines walking out of his room. “It’s a little late. Do you need anything?”

Haines looked up at him and sighed. “Is Charles still awake?”

“At this hour? I doubt it, sir.”

“Then never mind.” Haines shrugged. “Hugo said he had quite a few drinks and that Atlas wouldn’t pick him up. I’m going to pick him up.”

“Are you going to be alright, sir?”

“I have a bad leg, but I can drive,” Haines reassured as he walked to where Butler Jen was standing. “Also, Butler Jen, it’s already late. You should rest.”

Butler Jen smiled at him and nodded. “I was just about to, but I thought I should check some locks.”

“Rest and make someone else do that instead.”

“Yes, Sir Haines.” Butler Jen walked him to the entrance. “If you need a driver, I can call one.”

“There’s no need for that. It’s already too late to bother anyone.”

Butler Jen chuckled, thinking that Haines didn’t want to bother anyone, but Haines himself was being bothered to pick up his nephew. But then again, Hugo rarely called for help. Butler Jen watched Haines jump into the car and waved as the car sped away.

“I wonder what is keeping him awake at this hour?” he wondered to himself, his brows rising as he saw a sports car driving past Haines’ car. Even with just the car, Butler Jen could immediately tell who was just coming home at this hour.

Butler Jen waited outside until the car stopped at the side of the driveway. “Good… morning, Third Young Master.”

“Hey, Butler Jen,” Slater lazily walked out of the car and approached. “Why are you still awake? Isn’t it a bit late now?”

Slater then gasped before Butler Jen could tell him the reason. “Butler Jen, don’t tell me you’ve been waiting for me to come home? Do I really worry you a lot?”

“…” Butler Jen maintained a smile, biting his tongue to stop whatever he was about to say. “Have you eaten, Third Young Master?”

“No.” Slater frowned dejectedly. “James told me that I gained weight! And that I need to diet.”

“Then, I’ll heat up some soup for you.”

“Butler Jen…” Slater’s eyes softened, turning round as Butler Jen’s devotion touched him. “I’d be very sad once I move out again.”

“Let’s just go inside, Third Young Master.” Butler Jen motioned for Slater to start moving. Having said that, Slater dragged his feet inside.

“Butler Jen, it’s a good thing I didn’t go to my First Brother. I told him that we’d go to dinner together, but he got angry that I was late,” Slater mumbled, thinking that his dinner plans with Atlas had been canceled because he made the mistake of telling his first brother he’d be late.

“I see.” Butler Jen nodded in agreement. “The First Young Master is probably busy. He hasn’t gone home yet.”

“Ah.” Slater shrugged. “He’s not that busy. He just had to pick up Second Brother.”

Deep lines appeared on Butler Jen’s face as he looked at Slater. “He’s going to pick up the Second Young Master?”

“Uh, yes?” Slater furrowed his brows as he saw the confusion on Butler Jen’s face. “Butler Jen, why?”

“Sir Haines just left… to pick up the Second Young Master? He said the First Young Master didn’t want to pick him up.”

“Huh? That’s weird. First Brother is already going to pick him up.”

The two of them stared at each other in utter confusion. What was going on?

[Wild Platinum Club]

Hugo carried Ginnie on his back as he walked out of the nightclub. With him were Grace and Lily. Max had left to get his car ready, having agreed to drive Lily and Ginnie home.

“Hey, Lily,” Hugo whistled to get Lily’s attention. Unlike earlier, Lily didn’t seem drunk at all. “Thanks for inviting me tonight. It was fun!”

Lily grinned. “Of course, it was. I’d invite you more next time!”

“You can, but I can’t guarantee I can come all the time. I’m busy nowadays,” he hummed, taking a deep breath and enjoying the polluted air of the city. “But tonight… I really appreciate it.”

“You’re welcome,” Lily winked at him, eyes veering to Ginnie. “Ginnie got drunk so easily.”

“I think it’s the music and the continuous chats,” Grace commented, touching her cheek with the back of her hand. “Nephew, is your uncle coming?”

“Yep!” Hugo nodded. “Uncle Haines never lets any of his nephews or nieces down.”

“Isn’t he a good man?” Grace quipped. “Though, I don’t think he’d appreciate it once he finds out what you’ve done.”

“He’ll scold me, so make sure to steal his heart!”

“Kiss him if necessary!” Lily suggested happily. “Oh, my ride is here!”

A car stopped a few steps from where they were standing as Lily faced the two of them. Hugo furrowed his brows.

“Didn’t you say Max would drive you home?” he asked, only for Lily to grin mischievously.

“I did?” she returned, dramatically touching her head. “Well, I guess I am really drunk.”

“You didn’t look drunk at all just a second ago,” he said. At the same time, another luxury car pulled in front of them. Slowly, Hugo, Lily, and Grace turned to the car. They watched the front passenger seat window roll down, catching Max lowering his head to look back at them.

“Get in,” he said, but as soon as he did, he caught Lily running to the other car behind him.

“Tell Ginnie that I love her a lot and that I’m so drunk I didn’t know how I got home~!” Lily yelled before jumping inside the other car. Whatever she said to her driver made their car quickly speed away, leaving Grace, Hugo, and Max unable to respond.

“Well, I guess you’ll have to take her home!” Grace laughed, snapping her attention back to Max. “Take care of her, Max.”

“But I don’t know where her house is!” Max panicked, but as he did, Grace already opened the front passenger seat.

“I’ll try calling Penny and ask Ginnie’s address,” said Hugo, as he carried Ginnie and placed her in the front passenger seat. After he buckled her up and reclined the seat a little, he turned to Max. “I’ll send you a message once I hear from Penny.”

Hugo then pointed at Max. “If I hear you did something bad to her, I’ll snap your neck. Do you understand?”

“You—”

“Take care~” Grace bent over to the window, smiling at Max from ear to ear. “And good luck.”

Max’s breath hitched as he watched Hugo close the door. The latter lowered his head again and warned him one last time before the two walked back, waiting for their ride.

Max didn’t drive away immediately. Instead, his eyes fell on Ginnie in the front passenger seat. His heart pounded against his chest in total distress. In the end, he looked away from her and idled without driving, stabilizing his heart and telling himself it would be fine.

“Just what kind of friends would leave their friends in another man’s care?” he mumbled, glaring at the window beside Ginnie. “Also, that jerk…!”

His anger, however, disappeared when Ginnie hummed and moved a bit. He sighed and shook his head before proceeding to drive away, knowing he couldn’t park here for too long.
