Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 278

278 What is he doing here? 

Following the cat and getting ambushed by a weird frog resulted in Zoren making a friend good friend he never thought he would ever have in this world… or in this lifetime. T 

She was kind, warm, and honest. 

– 

She was a good person with a big heart to spare. Yet, she was also fierce and wise, always ready to protect her heart from any potential threat. 

It was why Zoren didn’t want to die, or at least, he wanted to live longer. It was why, even if the thought of death crossed his mind, he wouldn’t want to say it aloud or manifest it again. Because if he did, it would hurt her, and it would break the promise he made to her. 

[Present Time] 

Seated on the camping chair placed by the side of the road, Zoren casually sniffed the steam rising from the hot tea in his hand. Every Thursday, Benjamin would drop him off here and then return after a few hours to pick him up. 

But this time, Benjamin didn’t leave. Instead, he parked at the end of the street far enough not to bother his boss, but close enough to act if danger approached. 

“Thursday Girl…” Benjamin sighed heavily. “I don’t think she’ll ever come. From what I’ve heard, the last time they saw each other was twelve years ago.” 

Twelve years was a long time. 

Who knows? Thursday Girl could’ve met a man and married. She might have three children by now who knows? 

Another deep exhale escaped his nostrils as he looked at his boss’s figure pitifully. “I might not understand him because of this, he mumbled. “It’s not like he likes her… at least, not romantically.” 

Zoren had already made that clear. 

[She’s an important person in my life, but I’m not in love with her. Don’t taint our friendship with such things.] 

Wasn’t that odd? 

All of Zoren’s dedication over the years, and how he gave importance to every Thursday, would suggest he was in love. That he was hopeful of meeting his first love again. However, Zoren was adamant that it wasn’t like that and that he wasn’t confused. 

“Either way, I feel bad for him,” Benjamin sighed heavily, shaking his head. “If only the chairwoman had been able to find her. 

Benjamin had known Zoren since they were young. After all, Benjamin’s family had worked for 

the Dieren Family for generatione se well. Die une alen quare of how the chainunman had done

her best to find Thursday Girl. However, the chairwoman had trusted one of the family members. to lead the search, not knowing that this person had already switched sides. 

By the time the chairwoman found out, it was too late. The first few months after they left the country for Zoren’s treatment, no one had actually been looking for Thursday Girl. Instead of searching for her, they were blocking all the information they could about Zoren’s only beacon of hope. 

“So, they had no choice but to do door–to–door around the area, he whispered as he leaned back, hands on the steering wheel. “My father even told me about how they knocked on every door in the neighborhood, looking for Thursday Girl.” 

But to no avail. 

Benjamin’s father had taken over the task of searching for Thursday Girl, but with all the information about the girl vanishing into thin air, they had to use every means possible to get at clue. But alas, even when the team camped at this meeting place, a girl with a cat, a frog, and that unknown creature didn’t appear. 

Which explained their current plight. 

Another sigh escaped Benjamin as he watched his boss enjoy the tea all alone again. 

“Another Thursday where he’s alone…” Benjamin trailed off when he suddenly caught sight of a figure walking down the street. He squinted, catching a slender woman with a cat in her arms. Although it was already nighttime and he could barely see her figure, the furry cat in her arms. was clearly visible. 

For a second, he held his breath, his eyes slowly widening. “Don’t tell me…” he whispered, his breath hitching as he saw the woman slow down when she noticed the man on the side of the 

street. 

“Thursday Girl?!” he gasped, wide–eyed. 

Benjamin didn’t know whether to rejoice or cry because if this woman was Thursday Girl, then… 

Tears brimmed in his eyes as he watched Zoren pause before turning his head toward the 

woman. 

“If this is Thursday Girl, then… my boss is probably saved,” he whispered, teary–eyed, smiling in relief. “Please… let her be her, and not just a passerby” 

Minutes ago, in the Bennet Mansion… 

“To the place where I first met her. Penny’s lips stretched from ear to ear, making Butler Jen chuckle. 

“Still that place, huh?” Butler Jen smiled back. “Very well. I guess it’s a good idea for a birthday.” 

Penny nodded. “It’s been a while since I took her out of the mansion. She loves going out, hehe.”

Suddenly, Penny and Butler Jen’s conversation was interrupted by Haines’s voice. The two turned their heads in his direction, only to see Haines signaling for Penny to come. 

“Come here for a second,” said Haines.
