Female Novel
Chapter 60
How could I…How was I able to make such a flirtatious move and give way to the seduction of a beautiful man?I’m such a loser!
Neera began to despise herself in her heart for the subsequent few seconds. She regretted it terribly and wishedshe could sever her own hand.
On the other hand, Jean maintained his composure. He raised one of his dark eyebrows, and there was a playfulglint in his eyes. He asked intentionally, as if he were unaware of her embarrassment, "What's the matter? Is theresomething wrong with my eyes?"
Neera wished she could bury her head into a crack in the ground and vanish when she heard this. Unfortunately,she was unable to use magic, so the best she could muster was an awkward smile.
She said, "No, no, it's just that there is something dirty on your eyelid. It's gone now."
She said this, but her stutter and her red ears made it clear that she was embarrassed.
Jean became aware of her discomfort. He tried to hold back a laugh, but Adam's eye bobbed twice. He held backthe laughter and asked gravely, "These days, can people take advantage of others using this excuse?"
His question rendered Neera speechless.
She had no idea this man was capable of being so blunt. Her ears started to get even redder. Her other hand,which she kept secretly rubbing with itself, froze.
After a brief pause, she let go of her hand, stood up straight, and retorted with a stern face, "You're still asnarcissistic as ever. Who's taking advantage of you? It doesn't seem like you have any serious problems. Don't
worry, you won't die. You'll be fine after taking some medicine."
Neera then spun around and stormed off.
As soon as she walked out the door, she abruptly returned to the room again. She peered through the door withher upper body and instructed him irritably, "Don't forget to take a medicinal bath!"
She actually left this time.
When he heard her footsteps disappear, Jean slowly got out of bed and could not help but chuckle.
…
Ian walked into the room from outside at this precise moment. He just walked into Neera downstairs and waswondering why she was running so fast, just like a game being hunted by a hunter. He thought someone waschasing her.
When he realized Jean was actually beaming, he was shocked!
It's a little frightening! He could smile broadly despite having a typically serious expression!
While Ian was still contemplating these things, Jean caught sight of him and quickly hid his smile.
Jean ordered, "Run along and fill the tub with water. I'm going to take a bath."
"Oh, okay," Ian immediately responded.
Ian then respectfully inquired, "Mr. Beauvort, have you found anything about Ms. Garcia?"
Jean shook his head and replied, "It's unlikely to be her."
Ian nodded. He did not ask any further and went to the bathroom.
…
Neera practically ran back home, and her cheeks were still burning. Along the way, she cursed herself in her heartand slapped her hand angrily until it was red.
Why did I feel the need to touch his lashes? Didn't I have my own eyelashes? I’m such a loser! Why would I betempted by that guy when I've seen other attractive men before? That was incredibly shameful!
Harvey noticed that his mother's hands and cheeks were all red when she got home. He was surprised for amoment, but his eyes lit up afterward.
His siblings saw this and immediately grasped the situation.
It seemed like Mommy and Daddy had made some progress!
Although Harvey appeared clueless, his heart was filled with joy. He rushed up to his mother and askedconcernedly, "Mommy, what's wrong with your face? And why are your hands so red? Do you have a fever?"
When Neera heard his voice, she was jolted back to the present. There was an oddly evasive look in her eyes, andshe stuttered, "What? It's…it's nothing. I just felt too hot earlier and my hand got bitten by a mosquito."
The triplet was at a loss for words. novelbin
