Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 250

250 Husband?! 

[Sunrise Medical Center

Penny waltzed through the hallway of the VIP ward and stopped in front of a private room. She knocked once before sliding the door open, catching sight of a man reclining on the hospital bed

Dean slowly turned his head toward the entrance, smiling gently as soon as he met those brownolive eyes. You really came?” 

You said you were dying, so I thought I’d visit you as you took your last breath, Penny remarked as she casually entered, sitting down on the chair beside the bed. Her eyes scanned him before her lips curved down

Didn’t you say you got into an accident?she asked, displeased. You don’t look like you’re dying 

to me.” 

I got a few scratches.” 

Penny scratched her temple mildly, trying to keep her temper at bay. Okay. Then, good?” 

Penny, you’ve arrived in the country and didn’t even call me.Dean frowned. Is that how your treat your boyfriend?” 

Since when did you become my boyfriend?” 

Not just that, but I heard you’re hiring someone to marry,he continued, completely ignoring her question. I’m heartbroken.” 

Penny’s expression turned solemn. Did you hire someone to follow me?” 

I didn’t.” Dean smiled. Yugi told me.” 

That little shit…” she hissed, grinding her teeth as she realized Dean had manipulated Yugi into revealing information again. I’m going to sew his mouth shut when I see him.” 

So it’s true?Dean raised a brow, snapping her back to the current lapse. Why? Is the engagement too much to handle that you had to resort to such measures? Penny, if that’s the case, then I’ll marry you. I think if you told your elders you’re marrying into my family, they wouldn’t say a word.” 

Penny furrowed her brows and gazed at him

Are you reconsidering?he asked, smiling gently at her. I’ll take care of you. I promise.Penny still didn’t respond as her mind drifted to a question and a possible conclusion. Back then, not only wasn’t this engagement didn’t happen, but around this time, Nina also got engaged,she thought. Which family was she marrying into back then?‘ 

The downside of living an entire lifetime and going back in time was that Penny couldn’t ask anyone else but herself. Before Dean’s nonsense, she assumed something happened that caused this engagement to happen. However, what if that wasn’t the case

250 Husband?! 

What if this engagement happened in her previous life, but because Nina was marrying into a wealthier family, it was dissolved

Does that mean since Nina chose to stay away from family affairs, everything she had to deal with in the past is now happening to me?she wondered, and somehow, that question already gave her clarity. That makes a lot more sense” 

You’re doing that again,” Penny snapped out of her thoughts at Dean’s remark. I thought you were reconsidering my offer, but you were just zoning out again. That habit is bad. It made me hope a little

Penny clicked her tongue. Dean, if you’re not dead yet, don’t call me.” 

How am I supposed to call you if I’m dead?” 

Witchcraftyou’re crafty anyway,she said as she rose from her seat. I’m a busy person, just like vo 

So, don’t bother me unless it’s really important or an emergency.” 

you

Won’t you ask me what happened to me?” he returned, watching her prepare to leave. You’re hurting my feelings even more.” 

Penny rolled her eyes at him. Dean, like I said, don’t bother me unless it’s important or an emergency. One more thing, stop bothering my cousin. The next time you do, I’ll kick you in the gut.” 

Having said that, Penny turned her back on him and strode off without looking back

Her relationship with Dean was a little complicated. She didn’t like him, his guts, or his nosy attitude toward her, even though they practically grew up together. To be fair, Penny didn’t like him the first time they met, and her dislike only grew the more he lingered around her

This dislike was something she couldn’t explain probably, something she would never figure out, but she never felt comfortable around him

The only reason Penny indulged him was because she owed him

She was indebted to hima debt she was trying to repay just so she wouldn’t have to indulge him anymore

Penny’s steps halted when she reached the door, and she looked back at Dean. Hey, do you happen to know someoneshe trailed off as his brows rose

Mhm?he tilted his head

Never mind,” Penny smiled, holding herself back from asking for another favor from him. “Go home. Hospital bills are crazy” 

Having said that, Penny resumed her steps and closed the door behind her

Staring at the shut door, a shallow breath slipped past Dean’s lips. Even after all the years. we’ve been together, she’s stillthe same
