Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 27

27 Straight to the point 

Since it was Monday, the house was more peaceful than usual and Penny couldn’t be happier. She might have appeared indifferent to her siblings, but she was also careful around them. Her parents also told her they had some prior commitments, and they left together. 

Finally, some time alone. 

Watching Chunchun and Tiana play, Penny propped her cheeks with her hands. She was sitting on the grass with her legs crossed, deep in thought. 

“Miss Penny, I brought you some orange juice.” 

Penny looked up, only to see Butler Jen placing down a glass of orange juice beside her. He had this gentle smile on his face, holding the tray in front vertically, but kept his bending posture so she wouldn’t hurt her neck looking up. 

“Thank you, Butler Jen!” 

Butler Jen nodded as he glanced at her pets. “Miss Penny, I noticed that you hadn’t taken Chunchun and

Tiana to the vet. Should I schedule you an 

appointment?” 

“Oh.” Penny’s lips formed an o–shape as realization dawned on her. “Right. What an irresponsible parent. Thank you for reminding me, Butler Jen. And yes, please help me schedule an appointment, but if possible, not on Thursday.” 

Lines appeared on Butler Jen’s forehead. Why not on Thursday? 

He didn’t ask, though. “Very well. I’ll do it right away.” 

Butler Jen excused himself to schedule an 

appointment. As he walked off, Penny kept her gaze on his back. 

“I promised that kid that he could only see them on Thursday.” Penny shook her head, having the main reason for wanting to fulfill her promise was because she gave her word. 

As Penny returned to enjoying her peaceful time with a glass of orange juice, Butler Jen returned. He told her that he had already scheduled an appointment on 

Wednesday. However, even after relaying his message, Butler Jen remained in the vicinity.

Penny slowly shifted her eyes to Butler Jen, who had kept a safe distance from her. However, the distance was still not enough for her to ignore his presence. 

“Butler Jen, is everything okay?” she asked curiously. “Why are you standing there?” 

“Do I disturb your time, Miss Penny?” 

“Not really… but it makes me think I’m doing something wrong or I’m being watched because I did something wrong.” 

Hearing this, Butler Jen quickly lowered his head. “Apologies, Miss Penny. I didn’t think it would make you feel uncomfortable.” 

Not uncomfortable per se… but it worried her. 

“Butler Jen, are you… worried about me?” She tilted her head to the side because this was the only explanation she could think of if there wasn’t a problem. 

Butler Jen smiled helplessly. “Your brothers and Miss Nina are in school and your parents left for some important matters. I thought it’d make you lonely if you were left alone in here.”

Penny’s heart warmed up at the thought behind his 

action. 

“Butler Jen, I don’t mind being alone at all!” she exclaimed. “To be honest, ever since I came here, I don’t recall having some time alone. I’m not saying everyone’s company is bad, but I enjoy times like this too. So, don’t feel bad. I am fine.” 

But why, in his eyes, did she look a little dejected? 

Butler Jen didn’t dwell on it, though. He focused more on how mature Penny sounded whenever she talked. Each of her words often carried sincerity and wisdom. Even an old man like him couldn’t help but be impressed by this child’s personality and brilliance. 

Penny was still so young, but also very impressive. 

“Then I will not disturb your time alone. However, if you need some company, I’ll try my best not to bore you.” 

“Hehe. Actually, I’m going to head inside too. Butler Jen, could you help me find some books in the library?”

Meanwhile, in a five–star restaurant in the middle of the city, Jessa sat in the private dining room. She looked around with a high brow, sucking her inner cheek as she assessed the surrounding. 

“Hah! What a fancy restaurant,” she snorted, thinking that even restaurants for rich people were different from the ones she goes to. 

Since Allison and Charles hadn’t arrived yet, Jessa took out her phone and took a selfie. She stretched her arm to show her fancy background. But when she heard the attendant’s voice outside, she quickly tucked her phone away and recomposed her posture. 

Jessa kept a high chin as Penny’s parents came in. They sat opposite her, both quiet as if they were gravitating on what to say. 

“So you’re Penny’s parents, huh?” Jessa nodded while assessing the couple. 

Allison had a gentle and delicate beauty. Her black hair had some mild curls falling to her slender shoulder blades. Her clothing was reserved, but elegant. Despite wearing only her wedding rings as an accessory, she still exuded the aura of nobility.

Charles, on the other hand, had an oval–shaped face. He looked neat from head to toe, and his skin was blemished free that any woman would envy. His shoulder was neither wide nor small, but he had an upright posture that made him appear respectable. He also had pretty hazel eyes and thick eyelashes; Penny surely got her eyes from him.
