Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 9

9 It’s not all bitterness 

In the middle of the meal, Atlas excused himself as he finished his peasized dinner. Hugo followed him right after, but before the second son left, he called Nina to 

come with him.

The couple could only sigh as they watched their other children leave except Penny. The only consolation they had was watching Penny eat her fill. Although they felt a little worried the food wasn’t enough, it didn’t 

matter

When Penny finished, she was licking her fingertips

After that, it was already getting late. Allison decided to delay the house tour for tomorrow and led Penny to her room

Big room!Penny exclaimed as she shamelessly jumped on the big, fluffy bed. This bed feels like clouds.” 

For a moment, she forgot that her mother was standing beside the bed

Do you like it?Allison asked with a satisfied smile

making Penny snap her eyes open

Penny forgot she hadn’t been in this room yet. The food she ate made her want to sleep

Ah.She slowly sat up, smiling, which made the dimple 

in her plump cheeks resurface. I like my room! It’s very pretty!” 

Allison smiled affectionately and sat down on the edge 

of the bed. Although she didn’t even see Penny pay attention to her room and went straight to bed, she didn’t dwell on it

I’m happy you like it, Penny.Her eyes softened, and the more she stared at her small and plump daughter, the more she felt sentimental

For 13 years, she had raised and taken good care of another person’s daughter without knowing it, while her real daughter was being exploited by a gambling addict. It wasn’t like she didn’t love Nina with all her heart; even though there was always this strange feeling in her heart, she treated and loved Nina as her own. Nina was still her daughter in her eyes. PO 

However, she lost 13 years with Penny, her real daughter, because of a nurse’s mistake. She didn’t

know how would she make up for their lost time, but 

she knew a room this big wasn’t enough

Mommy?Penny’s round eyes twinkled with curiosity

Seeing that her mother was about to tear up again just like last time, Penny moved closer to Allison and 

cupped her face. Penny sported the most genuine smile she could, making her appear adorable like

baby

It’s okay, mama,she reassured so Allison won’t cry again. It’s not your fault.” 

Penny’s attempt not to make an emotional mother cry failed miserably because large tears formed in the corner of Allison’s eyes. It looked even worse than how 

she remembered it

Haines told me you are very smart, and he is right.” She smiled, but the tears in her eyes streamed down her face. My baby, I’m so sorry mommy didn’t find you 

earlier.” 

Seeing Allison weep slightly softened Penny’s stonecold heart for this family

To be fair. Allison wasn’t bad to her. However as

mother of five Nina, included she had to make

sure her other children wouldn’t get jealous of the other. With her frail body, she tried. The only reason she ended up neglecting Penny was that Nina knew how to snag attention, was good at framing Penny, and was meticulous in taking advantage of their brother’s affection; Penny wasn’t good at all of that

What Penny was good at was not attracting attention 

at all. It was a skill she learned in Jessa’s household

which she ended up applying in this household as well

‘I never hated her,Penny thought as she wiped Allison’s tears with her plump fingers. If anything, I was justangry.‘ 

Bitterness swelled in Penny’s heart, thinking it 

would’ve been nice if any of them took her side. Or perhaps, tried to understand her even though she was stuttering her words while explaining her side of the 

story

I’m sorry.Allison sniffed hard and forced a smile through her tears. She cradled Penny’s hands, looking at the cute little girl before her. I’m just happy that you’re finally here with us. Your brothers will probably

need some time to adjust and accept this setup, but 

Mommy will always be here for you.” 

Penny smiled but didn’t say anything

Anyway, I know you’re tired from the long journey. If you need anythingAllison prattled on and on, giving her some notes since Penny wasn’t used around the house yet. And if you get hungry at night, Haines arranged for some people to be on duty at night.” 

Uncle Haines did

Penny briefly raised her brows in surprise when she heard that. Haines didn’t do such a thing in the past, but thinking of all Jessa’s nonsense prattle about Penny, she probably mentioned her eating habits

Anyway, I’d better get going now.Reluctance showed in Allison’s eyes as if she wanted to stay longer. However, Penny pretended not to notice and waved at 

her

When Allison left after one last reluctant look, Penny could finally heave a sigh of relief

I survived the first day,she mumbled, looking around this huge room
