Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Will she get angry if I bring him next Thursday?

In Anteca, there was a famous billionaire’s row that even the very last on the social ladder knew or heard about. This place was divided into three sections: Eden Hills, Solar Heights, and Skyline Plaza.

The Eden Hills could be considered level one of the rich neighborhoods. It was where the Bennets lived and also where the boy’s uncle lived.

The Solar Heights was a place for the platinum spooners like A-list celebrities, singers, business people, et cetera.

Skyline Plaza, on the other hand, was a place for only the very famous, richest, and most influential people in the country could afford.

Skyline Plaza was the boy’s destination. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Stopping in front of a huge mansion that was surrounded by acres of land, the boy quickly got out and didn’t bother with the grandeur. Just a small piece of land in the said neighborhood could cost hundreds of millions and yet, the boy’s family seemed to have owned a huge percentage of the neighborhood.

Maids lined up in the driveway to welcome their young master back. But all they got from him was cold shoulders. No one found it a surprise, though.

The young master of the main branch of the Pierson Family rarely interacted with anyone. He would go with his day without saying a word. Hence, receiving a cold shoulder from him in return for this warm welcome was of no surprise.

"Renren! Oh, my dear, you’re back!" an old lady quickly rushed to the young boy as soon as he stepped into the mansion. She looked at him with affection and worry, but then she noticed that he seemed to have a bit of color today.

"Renren, did you enjoy your walk?" she asked, and Renren nodded. Old Mrs. Pierson smiled in satisfaction. "Is that so? Then, I’m glad to hear that. How about you eat first? Grandma prepared something for you."

Renren studied his grandmother’s eyes and said, "I’m not hungry."

"But even if you’re not hungry, you still have to eat," she returned. "Renren, your health isn’t at the best right now. You have to have nourishment so you won’t get sick."

"Okay." He nodded. "But I’ll see it first."

Old Mrs. Pierson’s wrinkles deepened. "See who first?"

"Amanda’s child."

"You want to see Amanda’s child?" she repeated in case she heard him wrong, but this time, he just nodded. "Oh, very well. It’s in study right now."

Renren didn’t say a word and strode off casually. His gait didn’t leave a trace of hurry or reluctance.

"He wants to see Amanda’s child...?" Old Mrs. Pierson whispered while watching her grandson leave. "I thought he disliked it."

She looked at the butler, who picked Renren up, but his confused expression already answered her question.

If there was someone or something that Renren considered a friend, that was his grandfather’s pet, Amanda. His grandfather had it when Renren was a kid, so he grew up with it. However, not long ago, Amanda passed a few weeks just after giving birth. Hence, Renren didn’t like Amanda’s child.

But after talking to Penny, Renren had some thinking.

Haines didn’t answer immediately, as if weighing his options whether to tell her beforehand or just let her hear it from her parents. However, thinking about the situation, it would be best if Penny knew about it.

"Your Auntie Jessa and your parents had an agreement," he said, making her even more curious now. "Nina will stay with her during weekdays and then we can pick her up on Saturday morning."

"What?" For a second, Penny was confused. "Uncle Haines, you’re saying...?"

"Nina will have to return to her real family, and can only visit on weekends."

"..."

This time, Penny was lost for words. All she could do was stare at Haines through the rearview mirror.

"My parents agreed to it?" she asked when she found her voice. "Uncle Haines, if my parents are doing this for me, then —"

"Penny, they should do it for you," Haines’s voice was stern, but still careful not to sound like he was scolding her. "You might think differently of me after saying this, but I also think keeping her around is not only unfair to you but also to her. If the choice is mine, then I would’ve advised Charles to give her back completely."

"Nina grew up being pampered by Charles and Allison; the boys also found it difficult to say no to her. This might be difficult to digest, but for someone like Nina who used to think everything was hers, I’m afraid keeping her longer will only create problems in the future. It’s best if she accepts reality sooner," he continued solemnly and firmly. "I’m telling you this so you wouldn’t be surprised in case Charles and Allison already told them about it."

Haines spared Penny details of what he really wanted to say. After all, it would only make him appear selfish in Penny’s eyes. However, he would always stand by what he had observed so far.

Keeping Nina would only give her this false hope that she would get everything back to normal. And if Nina realized Penny’s position in the family was irreplaceable, Haines was afraid she wouldn’t be so discreet anymore. After all, Haines was not as blind as the Bennet couple not to see through Nina’s sneaky insinuation and how she stirs trouble for Penny under the guise of concern.

If Nina could already do this at such a young age, what else would she do once they grow up?
