Pampered By My Three Brothers: The Return Of The Neglected Heiress - Chapter 581

Chapter 581: Night visit
“You… creature. Do you love me?”

For a moment, Butler Jen and Slater looked at Penny incredulously. They didn’t know which one they should be more surprised by: was it her question or how she just referred to Slater?

“Penny!” Slater yelled, making Penny flinch in surprise. “What’s wrong with you?! Not only can you not call me ‘Third Brother,’ but you also call me ‘Creature’?! What did I do now for you to hate me?!”

‘A lot?’ was what she wanted to say, but Penny bit her tongue and pursed her lips.

He huffed, planting his hands on his hips. “I can’t believe this! You weren’t in your office today, and now you come here just to tease me! Heartless! Cruel little sister! Butler Jen, talk some sense into her! This is too much, even for me!”

“Miss Penny, is everything alright? Did the Third Master upset you again?” asked Butler Jen, earning a gasp from the dramatic Slater.

“Well.” Penny smacked her lips, recalling every mean thing her third brother had said. She shrugged and snapped her eyes at Slater before shrugging again. “Bye.”

After saying that, Penny turned her back on them and walked away. Slater scoffed while Butler Jen was rendered speechless.

“Hah! Butler Jen, I think my sister just lost her mind weeks after moving in with her husband!” Slater exclaimed, watching Penny approach the stairs. “Penny! Where are you going?”

But all he received from her was silence. Penny continued up the stairs, not even giving Slater a glance.

“Hah!” Slater scoffed again, clicking his tongue. “Hey, come back here!”

“Third Master—” Butler Jen couldn’t finish his sentence because Slater had already sprinted toward the stairs. He caught Penny stopping momentarily to look back, only to run away when she saw Slater following her.

“…” For a second, Butler Jen tilted his head to the side. He blinked a few times before smiling. “She’s probably teasing him again. I should prepare her snacks… and his hot chocolate.”

After all, Butler Jen could already sense that there would be another huge fight between Penny and Slater. They would surely need their snacks to replenish their energy after they slaughter each other. With that thought in mind, Butler Jen turned to leave.

Meanwhile, in Charles and Allison’s room, Charles was seated on the bed with his back against the headboard, reading a book on his lap while wearing his reading glasses. When he heard the door open, he lifted his eyes over the rims of his glasses.

‘Hehe…’ he giggled internally, watching Allison approach the vanity mirror. His wife was already in a nightdress with a night robe on, applying some hand cream while glancing at her skincare products.

‘Grandma Pierson sent me some tea today and told me it would help me,’ he thought, keeping his eyes on his beautiful wife. ‘I want to test it tonight.’

His lips stretched from ear to ear, feeling a little enthusiastic and energized. How could he not? Even at his age, he would never fail in his duties as a husband. Age was just a number, but his burning heart for his wife would never change.

“Ahem! Ali—”

“Charles, should I visit Penny tomorrow?” Allison spoke before Charles could say anything, glancing at him briefly. “She’s been busy. Her husband wouldn’t mind if I go there, would he?”

“Why would that brat mind if his mother-in-law comes?” Charles frowned. “If you want to visit Penny, I’ll come with you. By then, he wouldn’t say a word!”

Allison sighed as she gazed at her husband helplessly. “Charles, don’t be like that.”

“That brat took my daughter away from me!” he grumbled, reminded of his frustrations with this fact. “I’ll never forgive him if he’s ever rude to you.”

“Zoren will never be rude to me,” she chuckled, shaking her head. “Charles, let’s be nice to our daughter’s husband. Penny is an adult. If we were able to let her go to spread her wings at a young age twelve years ago, she’s smarter and more capable now.”

“Besides, I know you like Zoren. You don’t have to act as if you don’t,” she continued with a brief chuckle, busily applying moisturizer to her face. When she finished, she faced Charles and smiled. “Give him a break.”

Charles grunted, not appeased at all by his wife’s lectures. Seeing his reaction, Allison smiled subtly and walked over to the bed. Instead of going to the side of her bed, she sat on the edge of his side.

Facing her husband, she reached for his hand and smiled. “I’m visiting her tomorrow just to check in on her. Perhaps I’ll visit Old Mrs. Pierson too. Jessa prepared a lot of dishes today, and I’m bringing a few to Pierson’s Old Residence and to Penny and Zoren’s house.”

“Do you want to come?” she asked, tilting her head.

“Allison, are you asking me to come or saying you need help in the restaurant again?”

“Charles, is helping us in the restaurant too much for you?”

“It’s not, but Jessa is too much for me.” He shook his head, his face turning sour as Allison giggled. “That woman… how come she never changes?”

‘Wasn’t it the same for you as well?’ was what Allison wanted to tell him, but she chose to hold the thought. She hummed and casually stroked his legs over the blanket, smiling. “I don’t need a hand at the restaurant tomorrow, but it would be nice to visit Old Mrs. Pierson together.”

Allison squeezed his thigh, making Charles’s brows rise. He glanced at her hand before slowly lifting his eyes to meet his wife’s gaze.

“Hehehe.” All the initial frustrations he felt earlier immediately disappeared. He peeled his back from the headboard, leaning into his wife. He stretched his arms toward her, making Allison press her lips together to suppress her grin. But just as he was about to pull her to him for some quality time, the door suddenly flew open with a bang.

BAM!
