Chapter 1109
After lunch, the group was so eager to have fun that they didn't even want to waste their afternoon break as theyclamored to head to the beach.
This place was originally designed as a vacation island in the first place, so it was well-equipped with all sorts ofentertainment facilities, including diving gear and the like.
The three little ones, brimming with excitement, quickly changed into their wetsuits and rushed eagerly to theseaside.
“Uncle Shane, hurry up! The little fish in the sea are waiting for us!”
They waved toward Shane, calling out excitedly.
The whole family was kept laughing by the lively antics of the triplets.
“Indeed, children are always full of energy. It feels like it's been a long time since they've had this much fun.”
Neera smiled slightly. “Yes, it's been quite a while. I've been so busy that I haven't had time for them. Thankfully,they're very understanding and don't cause me any trouble or worry. They're always considerate. It's funny. I'm theadult while they're the children, but sometimes, I feel like they're the ones who are more mature, taking care ofme more than I take care of them.”
Nadine patted her hand. “Having such well-behaved children is a testament to your good upbringing. Their bondwith you is a blessing.” novelbin
Beside her, Chad was coaxing Adriana, “We've come all this way to relax, so why don't we join them for a dive?”
Adriana was rather interested, yet she was also somewhat hesitant. “It's been a long time since I last wentdiving...”
Chad took her hand. “What are you afraid of? I'm here. No matter where we go, I will always hold your handtightly.”
Overwhelmed with sweetness, Adriana couldn't resist and went with him to change into their wetsuits.
The elderly Park couple, advanced in years, leisurely sipped tea under the sunshade, basking in the sunlight.
The old lady waved to Neera, smiling warmly as she told the latter to have a good time.
Upon seeing that, Avery lifted his eyebrows slightly as he asked her, “Do you know how to dive?”
Neera shook her head and chuckled. “No. To be honest, I can't even swim, let alone dive.”
Avery smiled. “That's okay. I can teach you.”
Neera was taken aback for a moment, imagining the scene in her mind. She immediately felt a bit embarrassedand hastily declined.
“No need. I'm not particularly fond of the water. A stroll along the beach will do just fine.”
After she finished speaking, she put on a stern face and warned him, “You're still not fully recovered, yet youwant to go into the water. Are you trying to throw your life away?”
Avery was helpless, so he had no choice but to give up.
Before long, the children, Adriana, and the others had gone into the water.
Everyone was in high spirits, and even Nadine and Jeremiah had joined in the fun.
Accompanying them were several professional divers, just in case.
Neera stood on the beach for a while, watching. When she noticed that Avery remained by her side, she felt a bituncomfortable, so she turned around and went under the sunshade to find her grandparents.
It seemed as if Avery hadn't noticed her discomfort, for he, too, turned and followed along.
Thankfully, she was able to engage in conversation with her grandparents, which prevented the atmosphere frombecoming too awkward.
Time slowly trickled by, and Neera suddenly felt a bit dazed.
Unconsciously, the image of that man surfaced in her mind again, and she couldn't help but miss him.
This scene, so leisurely and beautiful, would be perfect if he could be by my side...
She was deep in thought when suddenly, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller's name displayed on the screen, she was momentarily stunned.
It was actually a call from Jean.
He's been sending me messages only recently. Why is he suddenly calling now?
Neera hesitated, clutching her phone and unsure whether to answer.
While she was still deliberating, the phone stopped ringing.
Neera stared blankly at her phone, inexplicably filled with anticipation.
However, the phone didn't ring again, though a message suddenly came through.
It was Jean who sent the message: You didn't answer my call. Are you busy?
Neera stared at the words on the screen for quite a while before snapping back to reality.
However, she didn't respond. If she did, then he would know she had deliberately not answered his call.
If that were the case, he would probably feel upset, wouldn't he...
When she didn't respond, Jean sent yet another message.
“Was Aunt Adriana disappointed that I didn't attend her birthday party last night?”
