The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1082
Therefore, the two of them left together. Violet followed Avery around like a shadow.
At home, several elders are present.
It was clear that Avery came prepared. After getting out of the car, he directly pulled out several gift boxes from the trunk, which, at first glance, were obviously of high value.
Upon seeing those generous gifts, Neera was taken aback. “What are these?”
Avery smiled, nodding toward the mansion's grand entrance. “This is my first time meeting your family, so it's only natural to observe the necessary courtesies. Let's go.”
When Neera heard those words, she couldn't help but feel they were ambiguous.
Before she could react, Avery was already heading toward the main gate.
With a slight frown, she had no choice but to follow.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Avery greeted Elmer and his companions with the utmost respect and politeness.
“Mr. Park, Mrs. Park, greetings to you both. We meet for the first time. My name is Avery Cox. On this first encounter, I have brought along some modest gifts, hoping you both will kindly accept them.” Avery didn't show the slightest bit of awkwardness that one might feel when meeting someone for the first time. Instead, he acted extremely naturally.
The Park family members looked at him with inexplicable expressions on their faces.
Mariah was even more confused. She asked perplexedly, “Baby girl, why did you change boyfriends again? This isn't the man you brought home previously, right?”
Neera was utterly embarrassed. She quickly denied, “No, Granny. This is just a friend—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Avery interrupted her with a smile and said, “Even though we're not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, in reality, Neera and I are technically engaged.”
His appearance had already surprised the Park family, but hearing his words made them even more dumbfounded. Didn't she say before that Jean was the fiancé? How is it that another fiancé with a marriage agreement has popped up?
Nadine was completely baffled. “Neera, what's going on?”
Neera never expected Avery to suddenly say such a thing, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
Seeing her niece in a difficult situation, Adriana quickly stepped forward to help explain the situation.
“It's like this. Actually, there was a marriage agreement between the Gordon family and the Cox family. The successor of the Gordon family was to marry the head of the Cox family. However, Chad didn't fulfill it, so now it's Neera's turn. And Avery is the current head of the Cox family. Logically, they would have a marriage agreement, but as of now, nothing is set in stone.”
The Park family finally understood what was going on.
Although nothing was set in stone yet, since the Gordon and Cox families had such a marriage agreement, their family was likely to form a marital alliance with the man before them.
Because of that, Elmer instantly became alert. He began to scrutinize Avery with a discerning gaze.
Seeing the situation, Neera felt like her head was going to explode.
Previously, Neera had used various languages to hint, creating a distance between them and expressing her own stance. It seems all that effort is in vain. I don't know if Avery genuinely couldn't understand my hints or if he did understand but was pretending not to. As for his actions today, I'm sure he's doing everything purposefully. However, given the current situation, I can't possibly chase him away now, can I? I'll have to find an opportunity later to clarify this matter thoroughly. I need to make my stance clear. I have no such intentions toward him. To avoid any ongoing misunderstandings that might cause a rift between our families in the future, it's best to clear this up now.
While she was quietly contemplating how to have an open and honest conversation, Elmer had already started to treat Avery as a man who wanted to snatch Neera away. Elmer then began to interrogate Avery sternly, without any courtesy.
“The Cox family? Which Cox family? What do you do? Who's in your family?”
Elmer fired off a series of questions, clearly intent on getting to the bottom of things.
Avery responded calmly and smoothly, in one fluid motion.
Neera felt a headache coming on as she listened. Why does Granddad seem like he's interrogating someone?
To avoid any awkwardness, she cleared her throat and quickly interrupted, “Um, Mr. Cox, didn't you say you wanted to discuss something with Uncle Chad? Please, go ahead.”
Avery looked at her deeply, his eyebrows slightly raised, seemingly unbothered. He nodded and followed Chad upstairs.
