Chapter 3: Starting her career at 3
[THREE YEARS LATER]
Being reincarnated and starting life all over again as a different person was something Penny quickly came to terms with. But reliving her nightmare of a life? It took her quite some time to accept the phenomena that struck her.
Chewing on her pacifier, the three-year-old Penny watched two of her auntie's children grab each other's hair. These twin little devils were only a few months older than her. It was why these two had always ganged up on her in her first life. Their bonding was to make Penny take the fall or blame her for everything to avoid their mother's wrath.
She used to cry about it, feel bitter about it, and be deeply jealous of the love they received. But not in this lifetime. The good thing about this phenomenon was that Penny understood her place. She shouldn't feel bitter because, in the beginning, Penny was a kid her auntie didn't want to take care of. Her auntie simply had no choice since Penny's mother died during childbirth.
In other words, not receiving any love from them should be no surprise. Not that she was craving for their love or affection or attention anymore.
If anything...
The corner of the three-year-old child hooked up as her eyes landed on the snack on the table.
"Yugi," she called, her voice adorable with a pacifier still stuck in between her teeth.
Yugi, the three-year-old boy, looked at her after pushing his evil twin sister away. The latter started making noises as her eyes welled up.
"What is this?" she raised her little finger. "The first to answer me will become stronger."
"One!" Yugi yelled eagerly. "That's one!"
"How about this?" this time, Penny raised her five fingers and then another two on her left.
