PAMPERED

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

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. 

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. 2

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 queson. 

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. 

Penny was keeping pets and was even taking care of a creature she wasn’t sure if it was actually a mouse. But the look in her eyes, Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

when he mentioned that Amanda died and left a child behind, 

stayed in his mind. 

“What did the child do to be blamed just because his mother died? That’s unfair. It’s not like the child had a choice whether they want to live in this cruel world. Do you think it was his choice to live 

without a mother?” 

That argument hit him in a way he couldn’t retort. 

Was he truly being unfair? 

Renren didn’t know because all his life, everyone simply tried to understand him. They made excuses for him even before he could. Hence, he thought his dislike toward Amanda’s cub was justifiable. 

The boy entered the study, and his eyes quickly fell on the little basket in the corner. He approached quietly, catching this little

black fur nestled in it. Squatting down, Renren studied it and thought of Penny’s words. 

“I guess I was being cruel,” he told himself, thinking this little cub was kept in here because of him. Instead of letting it run free outside the manor, it was in this little space. 

“I’m… sorry,” he whispered as he reached for it to ruffle its black fur. He pursed his pale lips and smiled subtly. “Will she get angry if I bring him next Thursday?”

Penny was very pleased that, even though she was late, she was able to fulfill her promise. Fortunately, that boy was a patient one. And their time together wasn’t a time wasted. She also had fun talking to him, although she found him a little weird. 

While she happily hummed a tune in the backseat, Haines called with a solemn tone. 

“Penny.” 

Penny raised her brows as she quickly detected the seriousness in his voice. “Is there something wrong, Uncle Haines?” 

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, Pear 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. 7 

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