Chapter 829
Neera irritably touched her nose, feeling she was overly sensitive.
"It's okay," she said glumly. "Enjoy yourselves and have a good time."
"Where are you?" Jean asked, sensing something was wrong. "Aren't you at work?"
Neera grunted and replied, "I'm home."
Jean was surprised to find her home early. He creased his brow a little and said, "Wait for us; we'll be right back."
Neera wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but she swallowed her words and said, "Okay."
Jean turned to face the triplets after hanging up the phone.
"Your mommy doesn't sound very happy," he said. "Let's go home and console her."
The children nodded in agreement and followed him obediently.
Neera was having tea in the garden when they got back.
On their way home, the triplets stopped to get something ready. They approached her with a bouquet in hand.
"Uncle Jean said you're not happy, Mommy. What's the matter? Did you get bullied?"
"Mom, don't be sad, all right?"
"We have prepared some flowers for the prettiest and gentlest mother in this world!"
After that, the triplets hugged her and stuffed the flowers into her arms.
Neera looked down at her adorable children. Her gloom had subsided significantly.
She inhaled the fragrance of the flowers. The scent was invigorating. She rubbed the triplets' heads as sheembraced them.
"I'm not upset," she explained, "just a little worried when I don't see you all."
The triplets were naive and innocent. They believed her and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jean, on the other hand, saw through her lies and winked at the triplets.
The triplets understood that he needed some alone time with their mother.
They let go of Neera and went inside, leaving the adults alone.
Jean took a seat next to Neera. He took her hand in his and looked her in the eyes.
"What happened?" he inquired. "Please tell me about it."
Neera shook her head, explaining, "Nothing, just tired."
She lowered her gaze to the ground. Her eyes were blurry and unfocused.
Jean cupped her face in his hand. He rubbed her skin gently. "Has anyone ever told you that you're bad at lying?"
he inquired. You're upset. Why don't you say so?"
When Neera met his intense stare, she was stumped.
"Isn't our relationship strong enough for you to be honest with me?" He continued gently. What happened? Couldyou please tell me?"
He was very gentle in his manner, his eyes, and his grip.
Neera's heart began to soften. She broke her silence and told him, "This afternoon, when I was meeting a client atthe coffee shop, I walked into your mother and Kyra."
And this was something that Jean had not anticipated. novelbin
She bumped into my mother! But… What about Kyra? What brings her here, and why is she meeting with mymother?
Neera looked at the man and asked, "Did your mother fly all the way here for your marriage?"
Jean returned her gaze. He answered truthfully, "Yes, she did."
Neera's face went stone cold.
Jean began explaining before she had a chance to say anything.
"Kyra has nothing to do with the reason for their visit. I have no idea what brought Kyra here, but I do know thatmy folks are here for us. They've begun to accept you. I figured you were still bitter about their past behavior, so I
prevented them from meeting with you."
This was unexpected for Neera.
A touch of mockery instantly appeared on her face. She countered, "Are you sure? They were overjoyed when Iannounced the end of our marriage."
Jean had predicted that she wouldn't believe it right away. Initially, yes, but now they think differently," he sighed.
He took Neera's hand in his and fixed his loving gaze on her.
"Of course, I don't think you'll believe them right away. You had been mistreated by them in the past. I understandyour reservations.
"I've made it clear that no one else can be my wife except you and that my life is meaningless without you.
"If they don't accept you, you and the kids will never have to interact with them again. We can stay here with thekids and live our own lives, separate from the Beauvorts. You don't have to worry about them."
His speech was heartfelt and persuasive.
Neera was deeply moved.
Jean going to such lengths for her surprised her.
