Female Novel
Chapter 144
After Frederic hung up without giving Jean a chance to reply, he felt a bit cornered. Clenching his phone, hefurrowed his brow with a deep gaze.
Having heard most of the conversation, Ian came forward and tried to console him. "Sire, I don't think you needto worry about Ms. Garcia. Just think about it, has she ever suffered any losses? Even when Zachary tried to messwith her, she fearlessly put him in his place. Your relatives won't even dare to touch her, let alone take advantageof her."
He chuckled slyly and continued, "Instead of worrying about them, maybe you should be concerned aboutwhether Ms. Garcia will get fed up and take the entire Beauvort family to task during the dinner!"
Ian's words struck a chord with Jean, and he realized that might indeed be the case. Although they hadn't knowneach other for long, the feisty woman had a track record of handling herself well.
With this in mind, Jean's worries eased, and he decided to follow his father's ultimatum and bring Neera to thefamily dinner. After all, if anything happened, he would be there to protect her.
He instructed Ian, "Tell Richard to prepare a few more dishes for tonight. Ask Ms. Garcia to bring the triplets andjoin us for dinner."
With that settled, Jean's brow relaxed, and he calmly continued with his business.
...
As the evening approached, Neera was about to ask Zuniga what they could have for dinner when Ian arrived.Seeing him, she couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy, as he usually brought some news.
"Is something wrong with him again?" she asked, concerned about Jean's health.
Ian waved his hand, smiling politely. "Sire is perfectly fine at the moment, no health issues. Ms. Garcia, I am hereon behalf of Mr. Beauvort to invite you to have dinner next door. Mr. Beauvort has prepared a table full ofdelicious food to entertain you and the triplets."
Neera felt puzzled. "Why would Mr. Beauvort suddenly want to invite us over for dinner?"
Ian maintained his courteous smile and explained, "Oh, it's nothing special. Perhaps Sire just thinks that since youare neighbors, it's nice to get together more often. Besides, he is aware of the effort you put into taking care ofhim, and he is grateful for your kindness. Having a dinner is just a small gesture of appreciation."
His words were flawless, leaving no room for objections.
While Neera was still contemplating, the triplets, who had eavesdropped on the conversation from the corner ofthe hallway, happily burst out, "That sounds great! Mommy, Uncle Jean is being kind. Let's go!" novelbin
Before she could respond, the triplets eagerly headed to the next door. Neera couldn't help but sigh.
As the triplets added excitement to the dinner, the atmosphere became lively. Jean, who usually preferred a quietenvironment, surprisingly found their presence enjoyable.
After a satisfying meal, the triplets took their pets to the yard to play, while Jean invited Neera to the gazebo toplay chess.
During the game, Neera couldn't help but ask, "Is there a reason behind your invitation tonight?"
Jean didn't hide anything and put down a chess piece, looking straight at her with his raised eyelids.
"Yes, there is something. I hope you can accompany me to the Beauvort family this week and attend a familydinner."
He was straightforward, and Neera didn't object. After all, they had already agreed to cooperate with this act. Shejust didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Well, I don't know much about the Beauvort family. Should I do some research in advance?" she inquired.
