Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 118

118 Start on the right foot 

The first weekend after Nina stayed in the Cortez Household was all she had been waiting for. Aside from having to enjoy her peaceful life again, Nina had another plan in mind. That broken piece of the keychain was in Penny’s possession. No matter what, she had to get it this weekend. O 

With that thought in mind, Nina came downstairs to wait for the service “her” parents sent for her. 

“Oh, great! Finally, you’re here!” Jessa greeted her while packing up some things in the kitchen. 

Nina furrowed her brows as she watched her auntie get busy in the kitchen. Just then, she noticed Yuri and Yugi coming down the stairs. 

“Are you leaving?” she asked curiously, observing the twins in a slightly better get–up. 

“What else do you think?” Yugi rolled his eyes as he casually sauntered into the kitchen. “Mom, do you need anything?” 

Yuri pursed her lips and simply glanced at Nina before following her brother into the kitchen. “Mom, what are we bringing?” 

“Those, Jessa simply tilted her head while doing some more packing. “Bring them with you.” 

The twins answered in unison. “Okay…” 

Watching this, Nina shrugged nonchalantly. If they were leaving and having a family trip, she didn’t care much. She also had plenty of things to do. Having that thought in mind, Nina smiled happily and almost skipped her steps out of the front door. 

As soon as she stepped out, her face brightened up. The car was already waiting for her outside. Seeing it was a huge van, her grin turned into a triumphant smirk. 

‘Of course, Mom and Dad surely missed me. Riding this van to give me plenty of space and rest is just right.‘ Nina walked over to the service and, like usual, the driver opened the door for her. 

Now, she felt like a princess again. 

This was the life she should be living. A life that was meant for her and not Penny. Penny was more well–suited to the Cortez Household. 

As the door closed, Nina idled. – even daydreamed. 

“They’re probably waiting for me outside the mansion,‘ she smiled excitedly, imagining how her parents‘ and brothers‘ expressions while they welcomed her back. 

Her imagination went even wilder, assuming they missed her so much that they would ask her to stay with them. She was, after all, the glue of the family. Because of her, the entire family was united it was peaceful. 

– 

Even if her brothers sometimes fight, they would forget about it for her. They disliked fighting in front of her. And Slater probably missed her a lot as well. He was the closest to her, and he probably missed their time together.

A giggle slipped past her lips and then she noticed the van hadn’t moved. 

“Hmm?” she snapped her eyes to the driver. “Uhm. Why are we not leaving yet?” 

The driver looked back and smiled politely. “Miss Nina, we’re still waiting for your auntie and 

cousins.” 

They’re not my cousins and auntie… ‘was what she wanted to say, but hid her displeasure with a humble smile. “What do you mean by waiting for them? Did they ask you that we drop them off?” 

Something like this was something she wouldn’t be surprised to hear. This entire Cortez Family was a shameless bunch. They probably want a free ride… and yet, they wouldn’t even treat her right. 

“No, Miss Nina. the driver furrowed his brows. “They’re coming with us.” 

this ti 

“What?!” she gasped, making the driver flinch in surprise. 

“Miss Nina?” 

“What do you mean they’re coming with us?!” 

The driver, for a second, was surprised at how she raised her voice at him. It wasn’t like he was expecting Nina to respect him he was but a “mere” driver. However, he had been driving for the Bennet Family for years. Nina had never raised her voice, nor any of the Bennet Family would raise their voice at their servants. 

“Miss Nina, your cousin…” 

Before the driver could explain it to her, the door abruptly slid open. 

“Move!” Jessa ordered like a villainous queen. “Goodness. This kid. She won’t even offer help when she already saw how busy I was. 

Nina clenched her teeth, but knowing what Jessa had on her, she huffed. She closed her eyes and transferred seats, going to the back of the van since she didn’t want to sit next to her 

auntie. 

The driver timely stepped out behind the wheel to offer assistance. “Mrs. Cortez, let me put. those in the back. 

“Oh, sure. Thank you. Jessa smiled and signaled her children to help the driver place the lunches. they made for Penny.
