The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1030

Gradually, the man's kisses became more and more intense, increasingly insatiable. His arms tightened around her as if he was trying to meld her into his own body.

It was clear that he was triggered and couldn't help but react.

With immense self-restraint, he managed to control himself and released the woman in his arms.

After all, they were in a public area where someone could appear at any moment.

Plus, it was almost evening. Adriana and the others might be back soon with the three little ones.

If they were to bump into this scene, I'm sure this young lady would be utterly embarrassed.

Therefore, he did his best to control himself, enduring in silence.

Watching the woman's eyes glisten due to lack of oxygen and her crimson lips, his body tensed again, his throat feeling somewhat dry.

Overwhelmed by his emotions, he suddenly leaned in, whispering into her ear with a hoarse voice, “As for the rest, compensate me tonight.”

Neera's face instantly turned beet red. Overwhelmed with embarrassment, she gently pushed him away.

“What compensation? I don't recall agreeing to anything...”

As the two were talking, Ian walked in.

“Mrs. Beauvort.”

First, he nodded respectfully toward Neera, then turned his gaze to Jean, speaking with some hesitation. “Mr. Beauvort, something's...”

He was hesitant and didn't go into detail, but Jean knew it must be something that Neera shouldn't hear.

At that moment, he gently brushed against Neera's cute little nose, softly saying, “Stay here for a while. I need to go and take care of some things first.”

Neera was very understanding, as she never interfered in his affairs. She obediently agreed, “All right, but your leg...”

Jean raised an eyebrow, a playful smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He rose leisurely and responded, “Don't worry. Everything's fine now.”

Having said that, he strode away with his long, straight legs, leaving with a steady pace.

Only then did Neera realize that she had just been played by that guy...

After Jean returned to the room next door, the tenderness and smile in his eyes completely disappeared, leaving his face cold and indifferent.

“Go ahead. What is it?” He took a sip of water, asking indifferently.

Ian immediately reported, “Mr. Beauvort, Cloud and the others have already arrived at Huxville in the southwestern region with Mr. Leyva. Mr. Leyva is quite familiar with the situation there. It didn't take them long to find the black market's base. Although they haven't seen Asher in person yet, based on the clues, it can be inferred that Asher is likely hiding there.”

Jean was not surprised at all. He simply asked, “Did they mention when they would take action?”

“Yes, tonight.”

“Tonight?”

This did surprise him a bit. He thought they would rest for a couple of days, so he didn't expect them to act so quickly.

However, on second thought, it was Nathaniel who led the team this time, so it wasn't that surprising after all.

His cousin was quite the renowned king among soldiers in the southwestern region.

It would only become increasingly effortless for him to make a move compared to being in Kingsview.

At that moment, he instructed Ian, “Keep an eye on the situation over there at all times. If anything happens, report to me immediately.”

Ian nodded. “Yes.”

After Jean left, Neera had nothing to do, so she idly nestled on the couch, playing with her phone.

After browsing Twitter for a while, she heard someone returning.

She initially thought it was her aunt returning with the kids, but when she turned around, she realized that only Chad had come back.

“Uncle Chad, why are you alone? Where are my aunt and the rest?”

Chad walked over, placed the car keys on the coffee table, and stated with a smile, “She ran into an old classmate and was dragged off to go shopping. The kids went with her.”

“I see,” Neera responded after hearing that.

“Right, this is a good opportunity. There's something I'd like to discuss with you.”

As Chad spoke, he took a seat across from her.

Neera looked at him curiously. “What is it? Please tell me.”

“It's like this. Your aunt's birthday is at the end of this month, isn't it? I'm planning to arrange a marriage proposal. I know our decision to get married was made rather hastily, and it always feels like something is missing. Your aunt may not say it out loud, but I know she's actually a woman who loves romance. So, I need to make this ceremony complete for her. After all, this is our first wedding and the only one in our lifetime. I don't want her to have any regrets.”

Neera was very pleased to hear this. “Uncle Chad, you really understand Aunt Adriana. She actually loves surprises from others. If you could propose to her, regardless of the scale, she would be very happy.”

At that moment, she agreed enthusiastically, “This is just a small favor. I'll help you with it!”

Before long, the two of them began to hatch a plan together.
