Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 234

234 Good morning, Boss! 

“Lieutenant!” A soldier saluted at Hugo as the latter stood before him. 

“At ease. Hugo jerked his chin a little. “Enjoy your break.” 

The firm and strict lieutenant the soldier knew suddenly softened up a little the second they landed in the country. The soldier let out a shallow breath and followed him. 

“Sir, will your brothers pick you up?” 

Hugo rocked his head. “They must be excited to see me. After all, I hadn’t seen them in a while.” 

“You really have a good relationship, huh?” the soldier was in awe. 

Although Hugo was one of the best and the most serious in the base, he would relax whenever he would talk about his family. It wasn’t like the other soldiers didn’t cherish their families. After all, the soldiers left to serve the country for those they left behind. 

It just felt strange to see Hugo’s other side. 

“My brothers are very fond of me,” Hugo uttered calmly. “If you see them crying, ignore them.” 

The soldier nodded. “Yes, sir!” 

A soldier’s reunion with the family was often emotional and meaningful. Therefore, the soldier expected to see a heartfelt reunion of the lieutenant and his siblings. But when they reached the waiting area of the airport, the soldier didn’t see anyone of the Bennets. 

“Brother Hugo!” 

The soldier shifted his eyes to the owner of the voice, his mouth falling open when his gaze landed on the beautiful maiden jogging toward them. His eyes twinkled as he froze when the woman stopped in front of them. 

“So… so pretty,” he blurted out under his breath, darting his wide eyes between Hugo and the beautiful woman before him. ‘Lieutenant, she’s your… sister?!” 

That was the sister Hugo would often talk about?! 

Hugo and the woman slowly turned their heads to Hugo’s company. 

“Mhm.” Hugo hummed. “She’s my sister.” 

The soldier’s face flushed while studying that beautiful face. Considering Hugo was good–looking as well and that his little brother was said to be a celebrity, the Bennet genes were undoubtedly amazing. 

I wonder if his third brother is actually popular?‘ the soldier wondered before his eyes fixed on the woman. 

“Nina, why are you here?” Hugo faced the beautiful woman, Nina, with a plain look. “Where’s 

First Brother and Slater?” 

Nina smiled weakly. “They asked me if I could pick you up. Their schedule is packed today and 

Tomorrow So they said they’d meet von the law at 

after tomorrow 

night” 

The corner of his lips curved down while the soldier looked at Hugo with doubt. 

Hugo was just bragging his brothers might be weeping when they see him. But alas, it seemed his brothers‘ work was more important than him. 

“Is that so?” Hugo sighed. “Very well. I guess that can’t be helped!” 

He faced his soldier and said, “I’ll go now.” 

“Yes, Lieutenant!” the soldier automatically saluted, watching Hugo and Nina walk side by side. When the two were near the exit, a deep breath slipped past his lips. “Wow. His sister is very pretty… I thought she was a little chubby, though?” 

“This is not nice of them,” Hugo commented as he sat in the backseat with Nina. “How could they put their work first before me? I fought for this country and basically for them, but they won’t even show appreciation. I’ll only be here for a few days, but it seems I’ll only need to say hi. 

Nina chuckled and cast him a look. “Second Brother, what do you mean you’re only here for a few days? Are you getting deployed again? So soon?” 

“No, but I’m planning to use the rest of my vacation with Penny,” Hugo explained. “I’m only coming here and spend a few days because if I go to Penny. I’d be staying there throughout.” 

“Ah…” Nina rocked her head. 

“How are you, by the way?” 

Her brows rose as her pink lips pursed. “I’m okay” 

“Are you sure?” 

“Yes.” Nina showed him the back of her hand. “I’m getting engaged.” 

“Oh Hugo’s mouth parted. “I didn’t know you had a boyfriend.” 

Nina chuckled. “It’s alright. You’re were deployed.” 

“Is he a nice man?” 

“He is kind, for sure.” Nina smiled brightly. “Anyway, I don’t think you need to fly out to meet 

Penny” 

“Huh?” 

“The reason Third Brother and First Brother couldn’t make it today is because Penny is coming back tomorrow,” she explained. “So, they have been doing a week’s worth of work since yesterday and today so they can take a few days‘ break” 

Hugo’s mouth formed an o–shape. “Oh… she’s coming home?” 

“Yes.” Nina smiled. “I’m also very excited about it since the last time we talked was a month ago.”
