Chapter 962
Seeing that he was teasing her, she decided to tease him back. “Isn't having children all about having fun?”
As expected, Jean was indeed amused. He reached out and lightly tapped her. “Oh, you.”
Neera put aside her jesting, walked up to him, and asked with concern, “You've had some alcohol. Are youfeeling all right?”
“Just a small glass. Don't worry, it won't affect me.”
He shook his head, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and pulled her into his embrace.
Neera leaned comfortably into his arms and glanced at the time.
“It's just past nine. Aren't you tired?”
“No. How about you? Do you want to go back to sleep?”
Neera chuckled as she leaned against his chest. “Do you think I'm a pig? I've slept so much during the day, there'sno way I can sleep now.”
Jean raised an eyebrow. “I didn't say that. I'm just worried that you haven't had enough rest. You've been tired forso many days.”
“We can't just keep sleeping. It's still early. Let's talk about it later.”
Neera idly fiddled with the buttons on his shirt. With a hint of boredom in her voice, she asked, “So, what shouldwe do now? Shall we watch a movie?”
Jean sighed regretfully, “I'd love to spend time with you, but I've been swamped with work these days. There aresome urgent files that need to be dealt with. Would you like to keep me company?”
Neera readily agreed, “Sure, I don't have any particular movie in mind anyway.”
As long as she could be with him, it did not matter what they did.
And so, the two of them went to the study together.
Jean sat busily in front of the computer, while Neera also used the time to deal with some important documents.
More than an hour later, Jean pinched the bridge of his nose and urged, “It's getting late. You should go to sleepnow.”
Neera obediently put down the tablet.
Before she left, she leaned in and gave him a kiss.
“Goodnight, I'm going to bed now. You should also get some sleep soon.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Just as her hand touched the doorknob, a force from behind held her back.
Immediately after, with a swift turn, she found herself pinned against the door. A familiar, crisp scent envelopedher in an instant.
She gasped and lifted her gaze, only to meet the man's aggressively piercing eyes.
“You gave me a fright. What are you trying to do...”
Pausing for a moment, she asked with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
Jean's thick eyebrows slightly raised, and his gaze was dark and profound. He deliberately lowered his voice andsounded irresistibly sexy.
“Just doing what I feel like doing.”
As his words faded, he lowered his head and began to kiss her passionately.
Neera gazed at his handsome face with gentleness. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.
The two shared an intimate moment for a while before the man finally broke away. His voice was hoarse as hesaid, “I'll let you off today. Go and take a rest. Good night.”
Having said that, he could not help but plant another kiss on her lips again.
Neera was feeling so dizzy after their kiss. She nodded with her face flushed as she returned to her room.
The very next morning, after everyone had finished breakfast, King returned with the triplets.
As soon as the triplets got out of the car, they could not wait to run into the mansion.
“Mommy, you're finally home!”
That morning, the triplets saw the news and immediately became incredibly worried.
As soon as they arrived home, they rushed toward Neera with their faces full of concern.
Neera had been missing them for a while now. Her heart instantly softened as she squatted down and embracedthem.
“Yes, I'm back.”
Penny's eyes were red. She touched her mother's face with her tiny hand and asked anxiously, “Are you reallyokay now? You're feeling better now, right?”
The two little boys shared the same look of worry in their eyes.
Neera nodded firmly.
“Don't worry. I'm all better now, and so are the others who were infected. Everyone is fine.”
After reassuring the triplets, she smiled and said, “We owe a lot to Mr. Grey and Ms. Daisy this time. Let's sayhello.”
The weight in the hearts of the triplets lifted, and so their moods brightened. They immediately greeted the adultspolitely.
“Mr. Grey, Ms. Daisy, hello. Thank you for your help. You will surely be blessed!”
The triplets were such sweet talkers that Eugene fell head over heels even though it was the first time he metthem. He could not help but praise them.
“Your three children are truly exquisite. Each one of them is so good-looking and so sensible. It's really rare.”
Neera was quite pleased with herself. “Of course. After all, I gave birth to them.”
Eugene chuckled. “I'm not praising you, yet you're quite good at giving yourself credit.”
Neera was displeased. “I have good genes, which is why I can have such good-looking children.”
Eugene could not outtalk her, so he cast a disdainful glance her way. “Young lady, you're getting more and moreshameless.”
He could not be bothered to argue with her. Instead, he played with the triplets before presenting the gifts he hadbrought for them.
He had come in a rush this time, so he did not bring much with him. Fortunately, there were three fountain pens inthe briefcase he carried. They were quite valuable and worth collecting.
He was not stingy and gifted each of them one.
The children saw the pens, but they did not immediately accept them. Instead, they looked toward Neera.
Neera smiled and nodded. Only then did they accept the gifts with both hands and thank Eugene in their childishvoices.
“Mr. Grey, thank you for your fountain pens. We will definitely cherish them.”
Eugene chuckled heartily and grew fonder of them the more he looked at them.
After a while, Eugene was ready to leave.
Upon hearing that, Daisy's face fell immediately. “Do we have to go back so soon? I still want to play with thelittle ones.”
The president glanced at her sideways. “Still playing around? We've been out for several days now, and there arestill a lot of matters to deal with in the alliance.”
Daisy looked at the triplets with a pitiful gaze. She was clearly reluctant to leave.
Neera chuckled, but she did not stop him. “Mr. Grey, I'm truly grateful to you and Daisy for personally comingover this time.”
Eugene waved his hand. “No need to thank us. Just remember to settle my trip charge this time and thosemedicinal materials. If it's not possible, deduct it from the points.”
Neera did not know what to say.
A miserly person would always be a miserly person. Even at that moment, he did not forget to keep tabs. novelbin
Naturally, Neera disagreed, “That won't do. Those points are much more valuable than money.”
As she spoke, her mind was racing. She seized the opportunity to ask, “Can I offset the million points that I owein the past with money?”
Eugene, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke with an air of nonchalance, “Don't think that just becauseI'm being nice now, you can pull the wool over my eyes. Don't even think about it.”
After saying that, he left with Daisy.
Neera walked them to the door. As she watched the car drive away, she sighed endlessly.
“The old man is fine in all other aspects, but he's just too stingy. Trying to get even a penny out of him is harderthan reaching the heavens!”
