Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 364

364 A responsible adult 

Penny took a moment to recover from overhearing her parents‘ private conversation. Even at this age–or perhaps even if she became a grandma–she would never be ready to listen to her parents talk so flirtatiously. 

She shook her head, feeling a bit more dizzy and lightheaded now. “Should I just forget about it? 

Meow. 

Penny glanced down at the cat in her arms, who seemed to be urging her to continue their plans. Her lips curved down slightly. 

“But I feel dizzy now,” she muttered. “That bartender is crazy. He told me it’s perfect for an occasional drinker, but look at me. I’m a mess.” 

Chunchun purred again, as if telling her it was okay. 

“What am I going to do without you?” Penny sighed, hugging her cat because her cat truly had healing properties. “You always make me less sad, Chunchun. Please live a long, long life. 

Penny hugged her cat, forgetting she was still under the table. When she realized the cramped space she was in, she held Chunchun with one arm and crawled her way out. Looking left to right, Penny nodded to herself. 

“Goodnight, Butler Jen-!” 

Just when she was halfway out of the table, Penny found herself back under it. She saw Slater’s figure jogging up the stairs. 

“Hah… I’m so full…” Slater yawned and then burped, walking lazily to his room. She thought Slater would be quick, but then he stopped in front of the table. 

‘Why are you all stopping here?!‘ she gasped in distress, nervousness and panic swelling in her chest. Looking at the pair of legs before her, she gulped when Slater faced her direction. 

“Uh… it’s just soup, but…” Slater placed his hand on the table, wincing a little. 

Prirt–2 

Penny stiffened when she heard her third brother fart. Her eyes widened, her complexion paled, and her breathing stopped. 

Prrt- 

“Ahh…” Slater moaned and smiled in satisfaction, pushing himself away from the table. “Now I 

feel better. 

With a satisfied smile, Slater pushed himself away from the table and sauntered off. Penny, who was stuck under the table, pinched her nose. Even Chunchun had to rub its nose with its paws. 

That third brother!! Penny clenched her teeth, seething in anger. How come he can still annoy me without his knowledge?!” 

364 A responsible adult 

If only she was cruel, she would’ve recorded it and sent it to his fans to let them know that their male god was actually human! 

Penny waved in front of her face to get rid of the bad smell Slater left behind. Once she could endure the smell, she crawled out from under the table again. Looking to her left and then to her right, Penny froze when she saw a pair of legs standing on her right. 

Slowly, she looked up and saw Atlas staring down at her. 

Atlas: “..” 

Penny: “..” 

Chunchun: “Woof?“) 

Atlas and Penny blinked at each other before she slowly slinked back under the table. 

“I’m not here…” she whispered innocently, only to flinch when Atlas pinched the fabric on her shoulder blades. She stopped and slowly gazed up at him, smiling nervously. “First Brother, I think you’re sleepwalking again.” 

Atlas kept his lips pressed into a thin line, staring at the nervous look on her face. “You smell like alcohol, he said. “Are you drunk?” 

“No?” she answered without batting an eye, only to make his brow arch. “I mean, yes, I am drunk as hell.” 

“Get out of there and go back to your room.” Atlas let go of her shoulder and straightened his back. “Don’t set a bad example for Chunchun. Go.” He tipped his head to the side. “If you’re drunk, you sleep and don’t pretend to be a cockroach” – 

“I’m not pretending to be a cockroach…” she muttered as she reluctantly crawled out from under the table. She didn’t know why, but somehow, this place grew on her after all she survived while seeking shelter there. 

Atlas stepped back and rested his hands on his hips, watching her slowly dust herself off. He shook his head, making a mental note to never let his little sister drink. 

“Where’s your second brother?” he asked when she stood in front of him. “He took you out tonight, but it seems he made you drink more than you could handle.” 

“First Brother, I’m no longer a child!” she harrumphed. “I’m a responsible adult who can drink, drive, run a business, and accumulate generational wealth for my quadruplets!” 

Penny looked up at him, her expression as if the whole world wronged her. “Even if I drink, I can manage. I’m an adult.” 

“I know you’re an adult. 

“A responsible adult.” 

“Mhim.” Atlas nodded. “Okay, Responsible Adult. Go back to your room. You’re drunk, go.” 

“Tch. I’m not setting a bad example for Chunchun, you know?” she complained, and he just nodded. “Fine, fine. I’m going back to my room. Goodness. It’s not like I’m a kid who needs to

Atlas didn’t comment and simply watched his little sister mumble her complaints while reluctantly dragging her feet away. She hugged Chunchun securely, looking back at Atlas. 

Atlas raised a brow. “Go,” he said, only to earn a hiss from her. He kept his eyes on her figure, having this feeling she still had something up her sleeve.
