The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1080

That pitch-black profile picture had to be him.

She didn't want her issues with Jean to affect the children, so she pretended not to notice.

“What are you guys doing? Are you guys playing games again?” she asked.

Seeing her acting as usual, the triplets breathed a sigh of relief, pretending as if nothing had happened. They nodded and replied, “Yes. We're pretty bored, so we're playing some games to pass the time.”

Neera gently rubbed Sammy's little head, educating him softly. “Even if you're bored, you can't always be glued to the computer. You spend enough time with King on a regular basis. You need to rest more. If you really have nothing to do, practice your handwriting or read a book.”

“Okay!”

The triplets were very well-behaved, responding adorably, “We will.”

In fact, their current level of knowledge had already surpassed what an elementary school student would master.

That was exactly why Neera wasn't in a hurry to send them off to school.

Harvey held her hand, showing genuine concern when he said, “Mommy, you don't need to worry about us. I will take good care of my younger brother and sister. As for you, please don't work too hard.”

Neera smiled slightly, warmly saying, “Good.”

After chatting with the triplets for over an hour, Neera finally urged them to bathe and get ready for bed.

When she returned to her room, she unexpectedly received a call from Amanda.

Amanda had been touring around the world, leaving her with no time to take care of Penny.

When she had some free time, she found her thoughts occupied by Penny, her extraordinarily gifted student. She decided to stick to the original plan and reached out to Neera at the first opportunity.

The call connected, and she exchanged pleasantries with a warm smile, then promptly got to the point. “Ms. Garcia, I simply can't bear to let go of such a promising talent as Penny. Therefore, I'm planning to establish a dance division here in our country. When the time comes, I hope you will definitely send Penny to learn to dance.”

Neera had initially thought that after the last time, that matter would be put to rest. Unexpectedly, she was still preoccupied with Penny.

However, fate loved to play tricks. When they wanted to return to their homeland, their family had just moved here.

At that moment, she apologized, “I'm really sorry, but due to certain circumstances, we are no longer in the country.”

Amanda was taken aback. “If you're not in the country, may I ask where are you and the children now?”

“Currently, we are in Essley, and we plan to settle here for a while, probably for a year or two.”

Upon hearing that, Amanda was first taken aback, then she became excited. “Essley is so much better! I'm here in Essley right now, and this is perfect. I don't even need to go back and set up any dance branch. I might as well just stay here and teach Penny!”

Neera didn't expect such a coincidence. Hesitating for a moment, she tactfully said, “Wouldn't this be too accommodating, Ms. Amanda? Actually, you don't have to go to such lengths...”

Amanda laughed nonchalantly. “It's fine. Anyway, I have work in Essley for the foreseeable future. I reckon I'll be living here for a year or two. Plus, I have my own dance center here. Isn't it better to take this opportunity to personally guide Penny?”

Neera understood naturally that those words were just spoken to avoid feeling embarrassed.

Given the other party's enthusiasm, it was difficult for her to continue rejecting Amanda.

“All right. Thank you so much for your trouble. It's an honor for Penny to be taught by such a renowned teacher as you. If you have time tomorrow, I'll take her to the dance center you founded,” Neera uttered.

Amanda was overjoyed. “All right. It's settled, then!”

The next morning, after having breakfast, Neera discussed the matter with Penny.

Penny had no objections to that. “I would love to learn to dance under Ms. Amanda's guidance.”

Anyway, aside from following her two older brothers around and practicing calligraphy at home, she really didn't have much else to do.

So, in the morning, Neera took the little girl to Amanda's dance center.

Amanda arrived early, eagerly awaiting the student she had been thinking about. Upon seeing Penny, her enthusiasm was palpable. “It's been a while, Penny. You seem to have grown taller, but you're still as beautiful and adorable as ever.”

“Ms. Amanda, it's been a while, and you've become even more beautiful than before!” Penny, accustomed to praise, didn't let it go to her head. She greeted Amanda politely and graciously.

The little girl's sweet words made Amanda's heart bloom with joy, deepening her affection for Penny.

After exchanging pleasantries, Neera asked about the specific training schedule.

“Considering Penny is still young, there's no need for intense training every day. Coming three times a week, for an hour and a half each time, should be sufficient,” Amanda said.

Neera felt that such an arrangement was fine and asked, “As for the fees, how will they be charged?”

Amanda waved her hand dismissively. “You don't need to worry about that. I never intended to charge a fee. I had already decided to teach Penny for free. Penny is such a talented and promising student so I'm more than happy to have her as my apprentice!”
