Chapter 237: Can she even recognize me?
[Anteca International Airport]
The Bennet brothers stood in the waiting area, their eyes fixed on the exit of the arrivals area.
"What time is she supposed to land?" Hugo asked, casting a glance at Atlas, who, unlike him, was seated on the bench.
"Should be now," Atlas replied, reading a newspaper to kill time.
"This waiting feels like forever," Slater slumped beside Atlas with a sigh. "Is she really coming? Or did her flight get delayed?"
"Don’t worry. Uncle Haines sent me a message when they were boarding."
"Then why aren’t they here yet?" Slater’s frown deepened before panic abruptly swelled in his heart. "Oh, no! Don’t tell me their plane crashed?"
Slater flinched when his brothers hissed and cast him deadly glares. "Wha—what?! I’m just worried!"
"Did you leave your mind on set?" Atlas clicked his tongue. "Stop saying nonsense."
"Slater, that is not a nice assumption. It’ll only worry us unnecessarily," Hugo added, making Slater press his lips into a thin line.
Slater pouted and sighed. It wasn’t like he wanted Penny to be in danger. He was just purely and sincerely worried, and waiting for her felt like forever. Not that he would leave even if he had to wait for an entire day—he had been waiting for her for years.
Silence fell over the three as they waited patiently for their sister and Uncle Haines’s arrival.
