PAMPERED

“You made it.” / 

Penny almost wept when the boy smiled at her. This little great. aunt felt so remorseful she could cry a river. What a precious child. 

“Did you bring her?” he asked, snapping her attention back to him. 

She smiled at him apologetically and nodded. “Wait here.” 

Having said that, Penny quickly pulled herself out of the bush. She picked up her pets and crawled her way in like a soldier crawling across some unexplored terrain. In no time, the two of them sat opposite each other with Chunchun in the middle. 

“She looks more healthy now,” said the boy as he tickled 

un’s chin with his index. “I’m so glad she’s doing better.” 

Penny smiled proudly, respecting this guy’s time with Chunchun. He was the one who found her, after all. 

As Chunchun nuzzled the boy, he couldn’t help but glance at the other pet carrier. He furrowed his brows and lowered his head, only to see it eating a slice of apple. 

“A raccoon?” he guessed, and at this point, Penny was no longer surprised. 

“It’s a mouse.” 

“Oh…” he looked up at her and his expression immediately showed wariness. But before he could think of anything else, he glanced at Chunchun and then at the mouse. “Are you trying to make her eat 

it?”

“Why does everybody think like that?” Penny frowned. “Do I look 

that intense?” 

The boy didn’t hesitate to nod. “You look like the type.” 

“Hey, don’t judge the book by its cover. I’m actually very 

well–behaved and gentle.” She huffed. “This mouse is a gift from my dad.” 

“Your dad gave you a mouse as a gift?” 

Penny scratched her head as she didn’t want to explain it to him. But seeing that look in his eyes, she gave in. 

“It’s a misunderstanding, alright? My dad wanted to reward me. with something, but I didn’t want anything. But he kept urging me, so I just thought of anything.” 

“And you said a mouse?” 

Penny scrunched up her nose, seeing that strange expression on his face. It was as if he was still judging her! “I asked for a mouse, but not this kind of mouse.” 

“The smaller one?” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“The one you connect to your laptop. Geez!” she pinched the bridge of her nose, wondering why was she even explaining it to a 

kid. 

“Oh…” the boy bit his inner bottom lip to stop himself from 

laughing.

“Well, that’s the whole fiasco, but it’s settled now,” she said. “I 

decided to keep it. It’s cute, right?” 

The boy glanced at the little thing still inside the carrier. “Are you

sure it’s a mouse?” 

“Nope.” 

“Huh?” 

“Does it look like a mouse to you?” she asked while pointing at the little creature. “My Second Brother even thought it was a baby. elephant.” 

The boy blinked and then looked down at the little creature. “I can see his point.” 

“What point?” she gasped because everyone knew Hugo’s guess was pointless! 

The boy didn’t bother explaining, though. 

“Do they play together? Chunchun and that one,” he asked after a moment. “These two… what’s that on your head?” 

The boy backed away instinctively as he sensed danger, 

“Oh?” Penny reached for the top of her head and held Tiana. “It’s 

Tiana. Remember her?” 

“You took her home too?” 

“Mhm! I can’t just leave her to die.” 

the boy held his breath, scared that it might jump to him. 

Sensing his fear, Penny held Tiana with both her hands. “Don’t worry. Even if I let her go, she’ll just come back to my head.” 

“Why is it there?” 

“I don’t know, but she likes it there!

The boy assessed Penny curious. He didn’t even hide the genuine wonder in his eyes. She could tell whatever his thoughts were was something she didn’t want to hear. This boy was nice compared to the boys she met at school today. Hence, she didn’t want to ruin the image. 

The two of them talked with Penny, sharing how she came up with Chunchun and Tiana’s names. She didn’t have any proper explanation for them. She just thought they suited them. 

As for the boy, he found Penny very easy to be comfortable with. He felt relaxed with her honesty and carefreeness. Although she sometimes talked like an old lady, it didn’t make her less. 

interesting. It wouldn’t be a surprise to say that he talked a lot today more than he ever talked for the past year. 

“My grandfather also has a pet, he shared, and Penny’s round eyes. sparkled. “But it died.” 

The sparkle in her eyes quickly disappeared. 

“But she left a baby behind,” he added, hoping that would bring the spark back in her eyes. 

What’s wrong with him? 

“Is that supposed to be a good thing or a sad one?” she wondered with plain curiosity. “The baby is left behind with no one to protect 

it.” 

The boy pressed his lips as if what she said hit him differently. “It’s what they call a cycle of life.” 

“Poor thing. You should take good care of it.” 

“Why would I take care of it? He kiue anda. Amanda is my grandfather’s pet.” 

Penny frowned at him. “Did the baby gnaw at his mother?” 

No. 

“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? She clicked her tongue and then shifted their topic before a debate rose. “Is she also a cat?” 

The boy understood her change of question and didn’t continue it. 

“Hmm .” he hummed before he nodded. “You can say that.” 

“I see. A different breed Penny nodded and didn’t think much about it. Dwelling on that story would only make her sad. 

As she did, she finally noticed that their surroundings were getting 

even darker. 

“Oh, it’s getting super late now,” she said and faced him with a smile. “It’s fun talking to you, but you have to say goodbye to them” 

The boy felt a little sad, but he still offered a smile. He ruffled Chunchun’s für one last time before handing it back to Penny. He watched her place her pets back in place and crawl her way out. She pushed her pets out first before she followed. 

When Penny got out and was dusting her clothes off, a silver Mercedez suddenly pulled over in front of her. Looking up, she saw the window from the front passenger row roll down. 

“Penny…” Haines called with a sigh but wasn’t as scared as the first

time. 

This time, she asked Butler Jen’s permission, and Haines knew Penny was smart enough to get home. Even so, it was getting late, and he volunteered to find her. After all, Allison and Charles had to discuss something with the children. 

“Get in. Let’s go home.” 

“Okay!” Penny quickly got in and when she closed the door, Haines drove off. 

As the car sped away, the boy also crawled out of the bush and looked at the car’s rear. Dusting himself off, he glanced in the direction again. 

“She’s so easy to talk to, I forgot to ask her name,” he muttered and then took out a phone he rarely used. “Hubert, you can pick me up 

now.” 

And within three minutes, a black limousine stopped in front of 

him. 

A man quickly came out of it and put on a jacket over the boy’s shoulder. “Young Master, the old madam was worried when I told a walk that lasted for hours! her you went out for a walk again.” 

The young master simply glanced up at the middle–aged man and said, “I’ll take care of Amanda’s child.” 

“Young Master?” the butler repeated, but the boy had already got in the limousine. He remained in his spot for a moment, brows furrowed. “He wants to take care of Amanda’s cub?” 

Didn’t he dislike it because Amanda died weeks after giving birth?
