Female Novel
Chapter 978
After dinner, when Neera noticed that her aunt had not returned home, she decided to give her a call.
Upon learning that her aunt was going to live there and about the changes in the two elders' attitudes, she felt adeep sense of melancholy. Actually, this might be for the best. They live there without worries, leisurely enjoyingtheir twilight years. This can also be considered a blessing in disguise.
At that moment, she didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
Jean fed her a cherry, then asked, “Aunt Adriana isn't coming back?”
“Yes. This is delicious.”
The cherries were sweet and juicy. After swallowing one, Neera picked up another, continuing to eat as sheexplained the situation to him.
Jean was quite satisfied with that outcome. “In this way, there will be no more people from the Garcia family tobother you in the future. That's good.”
Neera chuckled. “Isn't that the truth? By the way, are you going to the office tomorrow?”
Jean nodded. “It's been a long time since I've been back. I really should go and show my face.”
Neera nodded. “That's perfect. I also need to go to SS-MY tomorrow, and afterward, I have to handle somefollow-up matters at Garcia Group.”
“What's your plan of action?” Jean asked.
Neera thought for a moment. “Now, Garcia Group has no value left, leaving only a pile of debts. Even if we put itup for sale, there might not be anyone willing to take it. So, the best solution is to end it directly and let GarciaGroup completely disappear from Kingsview. In this way, it can also be considered as a closure for my mother.”Mother had put in so much effort during the inception of Garcia Group, but later, a betrayal in her marriagecaused her to lose everything. Now, Alfonso is behind bars, Susan has lost her mind, and Roxanne is also dead.This can be considered as a consolation to Mother's spirit in heaven.
Seeing her lost in thought, a hint of pity flashed in Jean's eyes. He gently wrapped his arms around her, pattingher lightly. “All right. Do as you wish. Go ahead and pursue what you want. If you need help, remember to speakup. I'm here for you. I am your strongest support and your eternal haven.”
The hint of sadness in Neera's heart was instantly dispelled by his warmth.
She couldn't help but laugh. “Okay. I know...”
Later on, the two of them prepared to rest.
Neera hadn't seen the triplets all night, so she went to the bedroom to check on them.
She found them nestled in their beds, each holding a pet.
“Why have you brought Cece and the others to bed? Are you planning to sleep while holding them?”
“Yep!” The triplets nodded in unison. “We've longed for them so much, it's almost unbearable. We finally got tosee them today, so we want to sleep with them! They also want to accompany us to sleep, right?”
As if understanding the children's words, Cece and Ace immediately let out a “woof” while Pixie happily
burrowed into Penny's arms.
Neera was nonplussed.
After the triplets returned, they kept holding onto the dogs, refusing to let go. They had petted the dogs so muchthat a large pile of fur had been shed.
However, the triplets didn't care at all, refusing to let the dogs leave their bed no matter what.
Feeling helpless, Neera had no choice but to compromise and go along with them.
After coming out, she found Jean was still there, waiting in the hallway.
“Aren't you going to sleep?”
“Yes, but I haven't said goodnight to you yet.” Jean leaned in closer, planting a kiss on her lips. “And a goodnightkiss.”
With a sweet feeling in her heart, Neera gave him a gentle push.
“Don't you have to go to the office tomorrow? You should get some rest now.”
“Okay.”
With an effortless grace, Jean straightened up, turning to enter the guest room next to her bedroom.
Neera couldn't help but laugh, quickly stopping him, “What are you doing? Go home and sleep.”
Upon hearing her say that, Jean suddenly realized something and couldn't help but smile.
“I've gotten used to living in Essley, but I don't want to go back. I don't want to be too far from you, so I'mstaying here. That's okay, right?”
Neera chuckled. “Mr. Beauvort, are you playing coy now?”
Jean raised an eyebrow. “You can think that way. After all, I only act this way when I'm with you.”
Neera had no choice but to give in. “Fine. Goodnight. Go to sleep quickly.”
Jean watched her cover her mouth to yawn. Then, she entered the bedroom. He smiled, turned around, and closedthe door to the guest room.
He had just finished taking a shower and was drying his hair when he saw that the elders had called.
“Neera, have you returned to the country? Did Neera and the kids come back with you?” As soon as the callconnected, Wrenn's excited voice came through.
In a soft voice, Jean responded, “Yes.”
Wrenn immediately asked, “Can we see our dear grandson and granddaughter?”
The anticipation in her tone was quite evident.
Jean pursed his lips, refusing, “Mom, didn't I say we should not bring this up for now? Neera is still unaware of
this. Besides, we should respect the children's wishes. If they're not willing, I don't want to force them.”
Upon hearing that, the two elders felt somewhat disheartened, their tones dropping significantly. “All right, then.Let's wait a bit longer. When they're ready, we can meet.”
In the end, they didn't force anything.
After all that had happened, they understood that they couldn't force things anymore.
After all, it was they who had pushed away the children who wanted to get close to them.
They reckoned the children must be heartbroken, causing their relationship to become strained. novelbin
Therefore, no matter how they insisted, some things just wouldn't go their way.
That night, Wrenn suffered from insomnia.
Seeing his wife tossing and turning by his side, Frederic felt a pang of heartache and decided to come up with asolution.
“Jean doesn't allow us to meet the children, but we can sneak out to see them.”
Wrenn's spirit was instantly uplifted, and she immediately sat up after hearing that. “This idea is good. As long aswe keep it discreet and don't let them find out!”
