Female Novel
Chapter 1057
Back in the country, Jean looked at the message he had sent. He did not receive a response, but he did not seem tomind.
He didn't mind Neera's indifference. All he wished for was to make her feel his presence at any time, even whenhe was not by her side.
In the evening, Jean's parents had invited him for dinner at the Beauvort residence.
His older brother, Joseph, had also made an appearance.
The recent upheaval within Beauvort Group had been appeased due to this morning's clarifying statement.Everything was soon back on track.
Therefore, the elders of the Beauvort family did not pay much attention to this matter, given that their focus wasentirely on Jean's affairs with Neera.
At the dinner table, the two of them kept questioning Jean.
“Did Neera really go abroad? What's going on between you two now? Is it really over just like that? What aboutthe children? Where are our three precious grandchildren?”
Jean was quite composed, calmly saying, “The children have all gone to Essley.”
Wrenn was extremely anxious. “How can you still be so calm? Hurry up and go after them!”
Prior to this, Wrenn was concerned that Jean and Neera were going to become too involved with each other.
Now, she was actually worried that they were not involved enough.
This was truly heart-wrenching.
Jean glanced at her and calmly replied, “The company's affairs are not completely settled yet. There are someloose ends that need to be tied up.”
Wrenn was already exhausted. “Why are you still worrying about the company at this time?” she asked bitterly.“Do they really need your presence? Your father is here, and so is your elder brother. Can't they wrap things upfor you?”
Before this, after Karl's misdeeds were exposed, his powers were significantly reduced.
Later on, many of the company's affairs were delegated to Joseph, making him responsible for them.
When Jean went to Essley, Joseph and his father were the most influential figures at the headquarters in Jean'sabsence.
Harris was also very anxious. “What on earth is going on now? Has Neera really decided to ignore you? Wasn'tthe incident in the past just a misunderstanding? If you explain it to her properly and make everything clear, Idoubt she behave unreasonably. She doesn't seem like that kind of person. If you convince her properly, sheshould be able to forgive you. Why are things so tense now?”
Jean plated some food for the elders, his expression calm. Nobody could fathom his thoughts right now.
“Even though it was a misunderstanding, the incident is indeed my fault. Although I was unaware of it afterward,I still caused her so much distress. The pain and suffering she had to endure over the years is not something that
can be brushed aside with a few casual explanations from me. Even if she refuses to accept me, I cannot forceher,” replied Jean.
Upon hearing these words, the two elders were at a loss for what to say.
Wrenn was so regretful that she felt sick to her stomach. Her eyes turned red immediately.
“If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have been so stubborn in the first place. I shouldn't have letmy prejudice about social status tear you two apart. It's all my fault. I thought too highly of myself, alwaysmisunderstanding her, causing you to break off your engagement,” said Wrenn.
If it weren't for this, even if she ran away, she wouldn't have gone too far because they would have been wed.How could I have been so foolish back then, believing everyone else but refusing to believe her?
“On top of that, there's Kyra to contend with. I never imagined her to have such a wicked heart! What on earthhave I done?”
Wrenn blamed herself, regretting just how utterly wrong she had been in the past.
Joseph comforted her and said, “You can't blame yourself for this. Don't take everything upon yourself. What'sdone is done. The most important thing now is the present.”
After Joseph finished speaking, he turned to Jean. “Jean, do you really plan on giving up just like that? I heardthat Neera helped you word this morning's clarification statement. She must still have feelings for you, right?Don't give up so quickly! Go and win her back.”
Jean replied helplessly, “I don't intend to give up. I just want to give Neera some time and space to calm down. In
a few days, once things here are sorted out, I'll head to Essley.”
Upon hearing these words, the few of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. novelbin
Wrenn nodded repeatedly. “That's good. After all, we were the ones who were in the wrong from the beginning.No matter how angry she is, you should be tolerant. You have to win her back no matter what. If you've donesomething wrong, you must properly make amends. Treat her well in the future, and don't let her be sad again.”
Jean nodded and said, “I understand.”
