Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 237

237 Can she even recognize me

[Anteca International Airport

The Bennet brothers stood in the waiting area, their eyes fixed on the exit of the arrivals area

What time is she supposed to land?Hugo asked, casting a glance at Atlas, who, unlike him, was seated on the bench

Should be now,” Atlas replied, reading a newspaper to kill time

This waiting feels like forever,” Slater slumped beside Atlas with a sigh. Is she really coming? Or did her flight get delayed?” 

Don’t worry. Uncle Haines sent me a message when they were boarding” 

Then why aren’t they here yet?” Slater’s frown deepened before panic abruptly swelled in his heart. Oh, no! Don’t tell me their plane crashed?(

Slater flinched when his brothers hissed and cast him deadly glares. Whawhat?! I’m just worried!” 

Did you leave your mind on set?Atlas clicked his tongue. Stop saying nonsense.” 

Slater, that is not a nice assumption. It’ll only worry us unnecessarily,Hugo added, making Slater press his lips into a thin line

Slater pouted and sighed. It wasn’t like he wanted Penny to be in danger. He was just purely and sincerely worried, and waiting for her felt like forever. Not that he would leave even if he had to wait for an entire dayhe had been waiting for her for years

Silence fell over the three as they waited patiently for their sister and Uncle Haines’s arrival

Do you think Penny will recognize me?Slater asked out of the blue, earning looks from his brothers. I mean, I look much better now than when I was a kid. I’m also taller than First 

Brother and almost as tall as you, Second Brother. I’m worried Penny won’t recognize me at all!” 

His worry was genuine, but something in his statement made Atlas clutch the newspaper.

Atlas’s jaw tightened as he looked away, hiding the resentment in his eyes. This brat… 

When Slater turned sixteen, he just magically grew tall. He used to be the smallest until Penny arrived in the household. But now, he was almost the tallest among the siblings. Although Hugo was tall, Slater was nearly the same height

It was unfair, especially for Atlas. £ 

Hugo, on the other hand, studied Slater’s face. Slater, you only grew taller, but your face is still the same as when you were fifteen.” 

Impossible!Slater jumped from his seat in dismay, taking this as an insult. Second Brother, how could you say something so hurtful?! Do you know how many clinics want to sponsor and take me as their endorser for their brand? But I still chose to go to the best clinic to take care of my skin!”

Oh.Hugo blinked, not the least bit interested. Okay” 

Second, what is that reaction?!” 

Hugo slowly slid his eyes to the corner. Amusement

You really think I still look the same now as when I was fifteen?” 

Yes.” Atlas nodded; one would wonder if his answer was simply petty revenge or the truth. Penny will recognize you for sure!” 

Hah!Slater clicked his tongue before shrugging. His change of demeanor piqued his brothersinterest. What else can I say? Even if she doesn’t recognize me, it’s alright. It wouldn’t change the fact that her brother is me

The two brothers blinked, staring at their arrogant little brother. At this point, they realized it was no use giving this guy any more attention. Slater’s hormones seemed to be all over the place today

Oh, someone’s coming out,Hugo noticed as he saw the doors of the arrivals arca slide open. His eyes quickly scanned the people coming out before his lips curled up. There she is.” 

Atlas snapped his eyes up, his lips curling into a smile. Without a word, he rose from his seat and folded the newspaper

As for Slater, he darted his eyes until his gaze landed on a particular figure emerging from the entrance. His face brightened instantly, his lips broadening into a grin

Penny!!!Slater called happily and rushed to his beloved little sister

Standing by the arrivals exit was a stunning lady wearing a casual black fitted tank top beneath her jacket, paired with black jeans. Her curly hair was tied up in a bun. Despite her simple airport attire, her aura stood out among the 

passengers

Penny stopped when she heard someone call her name so excitedly. She lowered her head and looked over her sunglasses, her red lips curling up as soon as she saw a dashing young man running in her direction.

He just grew taller, but look at that idiot,she chuckled and marched towards her brothers

Third-

Penny’s face and entire body froze when Slater ran past her

Penny! I missed you so much!

Her face twitched as she looked back at Slater, only to see him standing in front of a plump young lady behind her

What the hell?Penny was flabbergasted. Did my brother just not recognize me? Do I look that malnourished?! 

Even Atlas and Hugo paused, staring at Slater in disbelief. Moments ago, Slater had wondered if Penny would even recognize him. He had even bragged about his beauty and how he had blossomed over the years

Forget him. Atlas ignored Slater for his own sanity and resumed his steps toward Penny. Penny.” 

Penny glared at Slater before turning to face her other brothers. She smiled as soon as she locked eyes with Atlas

First Brother-” she giggled. Did you like the message I left you?” 

My assistant thought I had an affair” 

Penny giggled and spread her arms. Hug?” 

No, thanks.” 

I’ll take it,Hugo volunteered happily, reaching out to hug his sister as tightly as he could. I missed you, Penny.” 

Penny looked up at him and pouted. How can you miss me when we just met not long ago?” 

You met?Atlas frowned while staring at the two. I should’ve let her hug me.‘ 

Yes.Hugo slowly released her. I’ll tell you about it later. Penny, where’s Uncle Haines?” 

He just went to do somethingoh, there he is!Penny and the other two turned to the elderly man approaching them. Haines was walking with a cane and was limping very slightly
