Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 239

239 Welcome Home 

Time didn’t seem to affect the Bennet Mansion. It still looked the same as Penny remembered it. Although there were some improvements in certain parts of the house, they didn’t take away the feeling of home

The family caught up over dinner, exchanging stories on anything they could broach. Even after the long meal, they continued talking over some wine, as though they had been holding back their stories until this day

Looking at their children, Allison and Charles couldn’t help but tear up

You are all so grown now,” Charles said dramatically, wiping his eyes. Even my princess now looks like an empress. I miss my chubby Penny. Haines! How dare you starve my daughter, huh?! Didn’t you retire to help her?!” 

Haines, who had been the subject of Charles’s constant blaming all night, sighed. She still eats. the same

Impossible!” 

Dad, didn’t you see how she ate everything?Slater blurted out, looking at Penny in disbelief. Penny, how? What’s the secret?” 

Penny pursed her lips, nervously replying, I don’t know. I think something body!” 

is wrong with my 

I’ll call a doctor!Charles nodded at his daughter reassuringly. Don’t worry, Penny. Dad will take care of you from now on.” 

Why are you all acting as if losing weight is bad?Atlas wondered, raising his brows when Penny and Charles glared at him. I didn’t say anything wrong” 

It’s just that Penny didn’t want to lose weight,” Haines explained with a chuckle. However, because of her hectic schedule and constant training, she eventually lost weight. She still has 

the same appetite, though.” 

Now I’m jealous, Slater blurted out, thinking about how he sometimes had to undergo a strict diet to keep his image. This is unfair!” 

You’re still healthy, Penny,Hugo nodded. Don’t worry. It doesn’t matter if you’re chubby or like this. You’re not petite, anyway. Most importantly, you’re healthy.” 

If anything, he could see that underneath Penny’s skin were trained muscles. She wasn’t very petite, but her body was just rightcurvy

Stop looking at my body!Penny clicked her tongue as Atlas and Hugo shamelessly looked her up and down. This doesn’t feel right. I’m your sister!” 

No malice,Hugo smiled while Atlas shrugged

How come you two haven’t been dating?she muttered, trying to divert attention away from her. First Brother, you’re the oldest, yet you aren’t even getting married. Nina might beat us all 

Welcome Home 

to it.” 

When Penny mentioned the word marriage,everyone instinctively turned their eyes on her. All of them were aware of the eldersplans, and they had been opposing them like crazy, especially Atlas. That’s why, until now, the engagement hadn’t happened yet

Oh.Her lips formed an oshape. Right. Let’s not talk about marriage

Penny, don’t worry about it,Atlas reassured. I’m now the head of the family, and you’re not 

getting married.” 

Yes. You will not get married, forever. Hugo’s remarks

Slater waved his hand dismissively. Bad mood, bad topic! Let’s not talk about this, since it doesn’t make sense at all!” 

That’s right.Charles nodded. Don’t worry, Penny. No one will force you to get married.” 

Let’s not talk about that for now,Allison offered everyone a smile. Let’s just enjoy this reunion and not dwell on our family dilemmas. It’s a happy occasion.” 

Mhm.Penny smiled, feeling reassured by their remarks

Although she knew Atlas had been against this arranged marriage nonsense the elders were talking about, it still annoyed her. After all, her immediate family wasn’t even forcing her to do anything. But alas, their elders seemed to think they had control over her

And just like that, they enjoyed the night together, filled with laughter, shared stories, and love

This was home, and Penny could finally say she was at home

After a long night full of excitement and nonstop talking, Penny retired to bed. The flight had. exhausted her, and even though she still had the energy to indulge her family, her eyes were giving in. So, she excused herself to rest

Opening the door to her room, Penny paused and looked around

It looks like time froze here, she whispered, listening to the click of the door as she closed it 

behind her

Her eyes scanned the room, and it was still the same as when she left it. The design, the books, and even the sheets were the same. It seemed like Allison had perfectly preserved this room

How nice to be back,” she whispered and quietly sat down on the floor beside the bed. She rested her arms over her bent knees, her back against the side of the bed, eyes scanning the room. When her gaze fell on a particular part of the room, her smile cracked a bit

Now I’m a little sad, she whispered as her eyes softened, thinking of the pets she used to have as a kid. I miss them.

A lump immediately formed in her throat as she stared at the area she used to call her pets‘ 

territory
