Penny has three brothers: one is a billionaire CEO, the second is the youngest military lieutenant, and the last is a successful actor. These three successful men had only one common ground: bullying Penny, their sore-eye of a little sister. The sister they never wished to have, and the one who claimed to be their real sister, while the sister they treasured all this time was a fake. After living a life of maltreatment in her aunt's home, some people of high standing came to Penny with news of her real parentage. She thought she was finally saved from her aunt’s clutches, unaware that what awaited her was worse. At 13, Penny only wished for one thing: for her brothers to love her and treat her like family, just as much as they loved their fake sister. She worked and studied ten times harder than anybody else just to be accepted by them. In her desperation, she foolishly fell into a trap set by a malicious person, not knowing her actions would result in the downfall of her brothers and her ending up in jail with a death sentence. On her execution day, Penny had only one thought in mind: If she ever got to go back in time, her brothers could pamper their fake sister for all she cared! She wanted nothing to do with them! And much to her surprise, Penny found herself back on the day it all began: the day she was born. As promised, this time, she wouldn’t foolishly try to earn her brothers' love and affection. Never mind family! She’d just make a lot of money, live in luxury, and make a family of her own! But wait, why is it now that she didn’t want anything to do with her brothers, they kept poking their noses into her business? Weren’t they supposed to pamper their fake sister? Why won’t they leave her alone?! And how on earth was she married in this lifetime? To make matters worse, this husband she never had in her first life was suddenly volunteering to be the father of her children?!
Perhaps there were some things Penny had to reconsider about what Grace had told her. Initially, she expected the worst reaction from her brothers. Her mind raced far from reality, giving her a real headache.
But reality turned out to be different.
Her brothers weren't angry or upset because a man had answered her phone late at night. They weren't even disappointed. If anything, they were simply and purely worried about her well-being.
"I'm so disappointed in myself," Penny admitted, noticing how Atlas's brows raised in surprise. "I thought you were going to scold me so badly that I'd end up hating you."
"Who said I won't scold you?"
"But now, I think getting scolded is fine," she said, a smile stretching from ear to ear as Atlas shook his head at her. "I'm sorry about last night. I should've at least told you I wasn't coming home."
"You didn't even know you fell asleep," he replied. "You said you were too sleepy, didn't you?"
