Chapter 473: Good, good!
Unlike Hugo and Atlas, Penny had to admit that Slater wasn’t the big brother type one would expect. He was dramatic, gullible, and often acted like the youngest of the Bennet siblings. He wasn’t the person who would give Penny good advice; instead, he was the big brother who would fight with her over chocolates or a minor scratch on his car.
But despite all of that, Slater had the biggest heart among them. He might be arrogant, vain, and annoying, but sometimes, he could touch her heart like no one else.
"Haha." Slater laughed, watching her tear up and wipe her eyes. "Penny, those tears are from guilt, aren’t they? Tsk tsk tsk. Bad sister."
Penny dramatically wiped her eyes with the side of her finger, casting her third brother a look. "You fool! Why are you tiring yourself out for me?! Who said I might need you in the middle of the night when I’m always asleep?!"
Slater flinched as she yelled, lecturing him for being foolish.
"If you can’t come home next time, just don’t force it! What would you do if you got sick?! Who would take care of you?! Also, look at this schedule! Even Brother Atlas would burn this calendar if his assistant handed him something like this!" She continued hysterically. "If I need your help, I will ride my motorbike wherever you are! It doesn’t matter if you’re at the end of the world! I will come to you and rant until your brain is fried!"
Penny went on and on out of frustration and guilt. She had been taking him for granted, sometimes even tricking him and ignoring him on purpose. Knowing that he had been coming home despite such an insane schedule just for her brought out all these emotions in her heart.
Even this morning, she had been angry at him and kept throwing threats his way.
"But I want to," was all Slater replied, blinking innocently. "Dad once told me that giving your free time to someone and making time for them despite your busy schedule are two different things. I want to make time for you."
Penny pouted, looking at her brother somberly. Slater smiled in satisfaction, winking at her charmingly.
