Female Novel
Chapter 910
In the evening, after seeing off her guests, Neera reluctantly picked up the phone, wanting to call Jean to vent andcomplain.
However, just as she took out her phone, Jean's call came in first.
When she saw the name on the screen, her eyes glistened as she picked up the call excitedly.
Jean's pleasant voice came through immediately. “Have you eaten? What are you up to?”
“I've eaten.”
Neera sprawled on the couch, just like a kitten, her voice soft and gentle, “I invited Mr. Grey and the others overfor dinner tonight. There were a lot of people, and they have just left.”
Whenever she chatted with him, her mood would brighten up to the extent of forgetting what she wanted tocomplain about.
The corner of Jean's lips curled up, his tone gentle as he said, “Then you should rest well. I heard from Cloud thatyou're coming back tomorrow. What time are you leaving?”
Neera suddenly remembered that she hadn't had the chance to tell him yet.
“We agreed to meet at eight o'clock.”
“Alright, I'll be waiting for you at home.”
“Mmm-hmm...”
The two had been apart for several days, and they missed each other dearly.
Previously, due to the urgency of her research, Neera was busy scouring various resources in medical books.Thus, she tried her best to suppress how much she missed him.
However, now that she was about to embark on a journey home, this longing intensified. She could feel theeagerness in her heart to return.
After hanging up the phone, she rolled over on the couch, staring at the ceiling. Right then, a thought suddenlypopped into her mind.
Soon, she made a decision and called Cloud and Zephyr, ordering them to come over.
Cloud and Zephyr thought something had happened, so they hurried over.
Seeing Neera carrying a suitcase, both of them were taken aback.
Neera glanced at the night sky, smiling, “The night is just perfect. Let's head back early, but neither of you can tellJean. I want to surprise him.”
Learning of Neera's intention, Cloud broke into a knowing smile.
Zephyr didn't say anything, as he respected all her decisions.
Before long, they made contact with the ferry and set off on their return journey, leaving the alliance.
Jean was completely unaware of it.
As the triplets were not at home, Jean had been completely engrossed in his work over the last few days andcouldn't catch a break.
He found the situation quite peculiar.
Even though life now was not much different from before, there was an inexplicable sense of loneliness when thequiet night deepened.
It was a sensation he rarely felt in the past.
The next morning, he spent several hours in his study, engaged in a video conference.
Around noon, Ian came in to report, “Mr. Beauvort, Nightshade is already in position. In recent days, there havebeen more and more spies from the ANXIN Group. We have checked each of their backgrounds, and withoutexception, they are all from the black market. It seems they still don't know that Mrs. Beauvort is not in Essley.Presumably, they are getting anxious because they can't find their target, which is why they have increased theirmanpower.” novelbin
Jean took a sip of water with a slightly solemn expression before placing the water cup on the table firmly.
“Tell Nightshade not to hold back and handle it as he sees fit.”
Ian nodded, then said, “You have a lunch appointment with Prince Gale later at noon. It's almost time. You shouldget ready. We'll be leaving soon.”
“Understood,” Jean said in a soft voice.
After that, Ian left the study, planning to prepare the car.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he descended the stairs, he came face to face with Neera and her two companions. Hewas immediately taken aback.
“Mrs. Beauvort? How come you're back so early? Weren't you supposed to arrive only in the evening?”
Neera returned home in high spirits, her eyes crinkling with joy as she cheerfully said, “Obviously, it's to surpriseMr. Beauvort! Where is he? Upstairs?”
Ian smiled slightly, immediately responding, “Yes, he's currently in the study.”
“Thank you!”
Upon hearing that, Neera went upstairs impatiently.
At that moment, Jean was sending her a message on his phone.
As soon as Neera reached the door, she noticed her phone vibrating.
Upon opening the message, she saw that it was him expressing his concern for her: Have you eaten yet?
With a playful smile on her lips, she decided to tease him a bit. Instead of knocking, she responded: I've eaten, butthe food on the ship wasn't very good, so I didn't eat much. I'm looking forward to a feast when I get back.
In the study, Jean could imagine Neera's grumbling expression merely from glancing at her words, his eyes andbrows softening by reflex.
With his head slightly bowed, his fingers tapped on the screen as he prepared to reply to her message.
Neera seized the opportunity to knock on the door.
Jean, assuming it was Ian, didn't even lift their head as he said nonchalantly, “Come in.”
