Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 226

226 Family trip 

Meanwhile, at the start of the summer break, Charles already planned what their family would. do. Since his kids had studied and worked hard the whole school year, he wanted to reward them with something. 

A vacation trip! 

Driving his family to an exclusive resort, he grinned happily. He glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing his kids idle in the backseat. When he set his eyes ahead, Allison reached out and smiled at him. 

“Kids, are you excited!? We’re almost there!” Charles announced, making his children snap their eyes at him without much reaction. “I can’t hear you!” 

“Yes…” they answered in unison, still a little groggy from last night’s “party” 

Last night, the Bennet Family had another sleepover and since Atlas and Hugo missed the last movie, they stayed up all night. Penny and Slater also couldn’t sleep, so they ended up watching movies until past midnight. 

They would have more energy if Charles didn’t wake them up early in the morning and gave them time to process what was happening. But that wasn’t the case. Charles woke them up and told them to get into the car as if they were evacuating. It explained why they were still in their pajamas and bed hair. 

Allison turned her head to the back of the van. “There are some extra pillows over there. You can sleep some more if you want.” 

“Mom, I’m hungry…” Slater mumbled. “Dad woke us up, and we still hadn’t eaten anything.” 

“Oh. The food is right there.” 

Before Slater could shift his eyes to where his mother was pointing, he already caught the glint in Penny’s eyes. He turned to her and scrunched up his face, seeing her eyes blazed as if the beast in her stomach took charge of her body. 

“Get it,” said Penny, and somehow, her voice was coarse as if it was the demon speaking. 

“I packed a lot of food, so we didn’t need to make a stop and cat,” Allison explained, watching Slater reach out for the bag where she placed the food. She couldn’t help but smile when she saw that Slater gave Penny some food first before getting one for himself. 

Surely L 

had been a more thoughtful big brother to his little sister. 

Little did she know, Slater was just scared she would grow some horns if she didn’t get her morning fuel. Slater was simply trying to save his sister from transforming! 

Soon, the children enjoyed the food prepared by their mother. The food was still warm because of the container, now they were satisfied with a full stomach. 

Slater, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief. When Penny started eating, the demon who was trying to take over her calmed down. Now, she was twinkling in happiness while eating

some of the pudding Chef Skylar sent them. 

Food is really a powerful thing, he thought. I don’t think Penny would ever do something about her weight.‘ 

Even so, Slater would still care for her the same. He would only say anything about her weight if she kept growing and growing to an alarming point. 

“Penny, can you give me more pudding?” Atlas spoke after a prolonged silence, making Penny freeze. “I ate mine, but I still want some.” 

Penny squinted as she looked back at him. “First Brother, are you asking me because I’m the youngest?” 

“Mhm.” He nodded without any intention of denying it. 

“Okay” Penny scooped a very tiny portion and handed it to him. “Here” 

Atlas gazed at the spoon. “I can’t see it.” the slice was so small he didn’t know if that was just a leftover from her spoon or the one she was giving him. 

“First Brother, you already ate yours. Why are you asking for Penny to give her food?” Hugo frowned. “That’s selfish.” 

“Penny has five puddings, and we have only two each. Not sharing is being selfish, Atlas explained. “Now I’m worried about Penny. Would they even have enough food on Professor Singh’s team?” 

Atlas rubbed his chin as if he wasn’t asking Penny to give him some dessert. 

Their parents in the front row chuckled and shook their heads. They let them be for now, thinking their children would be okay with this small and shallow banter. They were just glad that their children were getting along, instead of just ignoring each other. 

One hour later, they reached an exclusive resort where they would stay for the next three days. Charles booked a presidential suite for the entire family, so they didn’t have to book separate rooms. Hence, when they arrived, the children – – or rather, Penny and Slater room that had a great view. D

Just like any other family, Charles simply let them all relax for a bit before they enjoyed the resort’s amenities. They spent time in the pool, the garden; the sauna- separate with Charles and the boys and Allison with Penny and then many other things.

The day started with a surprise, but at the end of it, all of them appreciated that Charles thought of taking them on a vacation. It did help the children and even Allison relax. 

At nighttime, while Charles and Allison had a date together, Penny sat down on the balcony connected to the living room. She had a smile on her face, letting the fresh air blow past her. 

“Penny, what are you doing here?” Hugo walked in and sat down on the empty chair next to her. “I thought you were going to rest?” 

Penny glanced at him and smiled. “I did, but I just thought a breath of fresh air would be nice.”
