Female Novel
Chapter 987
Given the limited time, the group played for a while longer before concluding their amusement park adventure forthe day.
After getting into the vehicle, the children each held a large water bottle, gulping down the water.
“Mommy, where are we going now? Are we going straight to eat? What about Daddy?” asked one of the triplets.
Neera wiped the sweat off their foreheads. “Your dad will be off work soon. He will go straight to the restaurantand meet us there.”
The triplets cheered contentedly, “Yay! Let's go have a feast!”
When they arrived at the restaurant, Jean was already there.
For some reason, when Isabella saw him, she felt inexplicably nervous and spoke restrainedly. “Mr. Beauvort.”
Jean's attitude toward her was fairly friendly. With a faint smile, he nodded. “Ms. Lopez.”
Toward outsiders, he always maintained that kind of lukewarm attitude.
The only exception was Neera and the triplets. It was somewhat different.
He gently patted the heads of Harvey and Sammy, then bent down to pick up Penny. Their foreheads touched ashe affectionately nuzzled against her.
“Did you have fun this afternoon?” he asked.
His voice, already pleasant to the ears, became even more captivating due to the touch of tenderness.
Penny giggled. “It was so much fun, Daddy! It's such a pity you couldn't come with us!”
The triplets gathered around him, eagerly sharing their joyful experience. novelbin
Sammy leaned closer to his ear, whispering, “We originally planned to go to the haunted house, but Mommy wasscared and refused to go no matter what.”
Neera frowned, her voice stern as she said, “I can hear you, Sammy.”
Startled, Sammy quickly covered his mouth, his eyes darting toward her. Seeing her narrowing her eyes at him,he hurriedly put on an innocent smile in an attempt to appease her.
Jean couldn't help but laugh, lightly patting Neera's head. “Next time, I'll go with you. I'll protect you.”
Beside him, Isabella was stunned, silently astonished. Is that really the legendary, cold-hearted CEO, Mr.Beauvort? Who would have thought that someone as fearsome as the Grim Reaper could also have such a gentleside? It seems love really can turn an angel into a devil and transform a devil into an angel.
After dinner, the family of five first escorted Isabella home. Then, they returned to Imperial Gardens.
As soon as they entered the building, the three dogs rushed out. Their tails wagged with uncontainable excitementas they circled around their owner's legs.
The triplets were delighted to see them. In an instant, they were all playing together again.
Whenever the children and pets were gathered together, it was quite a lively scene.
Neera found it amusing and didn't stop them, even joining in with them.
She brought over a pet comb and started grooming the three puppies.
The dogs were all very cooperative, even narrowing their eyes and comfortably humming.
Sammy was gently stroking the fluffy head of Cece, all the while mumbling to himself. “Cece, you should losesome weight soon. I can hardly lift you anymore.”
Neera released Pixie and curiously hugged Cece for a moment. At that moment, she found that it had indeedgained a lot of weight. Its body was round and plump, which made her burst into laughter. “Cece, if you keepgaining weight like this, you'll turn into a barrel.”
Cece tilted its head back and barked twice as if it were rebutting her words.
Sammy came up with an idea on a whim. “I'll take it for a morning run to lose weight tomorrow.”
Neera couldn't help but chuckle. “You're going to take it for a morning run? Maybe you should focus on gettingup early yourself first...”
Later, Zuniga came over and said, “Ms. Garcia, it's getting late. I'll take the children to bathe first.”
Suddenly, Sammy's eyes lit up with anticipation. He looked at Jean and asked, “Can I take a bath with Daddytonight?”
Jean raised an eyebrow, pinched his cheek lightly, and said, “Of course you can.”
Upon hearing that, Harvey couldn't help but pursed his lips and whispered, “I also want to bathe with Daddy.”
Jean couldn't help but laugh, picking up one boy in each arm. “Come on, Daddy's going to take you both for abath.”
Watching that scene warmed Neera's heart. She turned to Penny and said, “Why don't you join me for a bath?”
After speaking, she looked at Zuniga with a smile. “You can go and rest. We'll take care of the children.”
Jean set the two boys down as soon as they entered the bathroom. Instead of starting the bath, he asked, “Is theresomething you want to tell me?”
He knew that those two children could bathe themselves. Their sudden request to bathe with him must haveanother reason behind it.
Harvey nodded, then proceeded to inform his father about how the two elders from the Beauvort family had beenfollowing them during the day.
Jean didn't expect the two elders to act that way. He was taken aback for a moment, then inquired about thespecific situation.
Upon learning that the two elders didn't bother them, he finally felt at ease. He gently asked, “They probably justwanted to see you. Do you find it repulsive? If you don't like it, I can talk to them. I'll tell them not to do thisagain and not to appear in front of you in the future.”
Faced with that issue, both of the little ones were somewhat torn. “Hmm... It's not that we dislike them. We justwant to know if they are truly willing to accept us.”
Jean nodded, promising, “They are.”
After the two boys received confirmation, they finally breathed a sigh of relief but still said, “Even so, we won'tbreak our principles. We will wait for Mommy's approval before we accept.”
Seeing the boys making their statement with such solemn faces, Jean couldn't help but smile. “All right, I'llrespect your decisions. Nothing else matters.”
Seeing that their father was not upset, the boys felt both joy and relief. Thankfully, Daddy is on our side...
