Chapter 166: An old friend from her memory
[WARNING: Chapter CONTAINS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. READ WITH CAUTION.]
When the Bennet children returned home, they stopped at the sight of Allison, Jessa, and even the chefs in the dining. All of them were sitting around the dining room, their faces revealing their exhaustion. It didn’t seem like they were ignoring each other. But more like they were too busy mentally cheering themselves up.
"Now, I feel bad for them," Penny muttered, thinking they wouldn’t be so exhausted if not for the charity cause.
But then again, the food for tomorrow wasn’t because Penny asked them to do it. Her brothers were the ones who proposed to take the role.
"Penny, you and Slater should go first," Hugo remarked, earning his little sibling’s attention. "First Brother and I will have to help in the kitchen."
’Me?’ Atlas frowned and secretly glared at Hugo, but the Second Brother returned his glare with an angelic smile.
Penny, on the other hand, raised her brows. "Uh... I don’t think that’s a good idea," but her words simply flew by because Slater tugged her arm.
"Penny, let’s go."
As Penny reluctantly followed Slater to fix the things they bought, Hugo and Atlas joined the kitchen to offer help. Looking back to her first timeline, those two were unnecessarily clumsy in the kitchen.
