The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1099
The three little ones could not do anything since the man had put it that way.
That evening, Neera didn't eat much and spoke very little.
Everyone could tell that she was in a bad mood, and they could all guess that it had something to do with Jean's continuous absence.
No one mentioned this matter for fear of upsetting her. Instead, they tried various ways to cheer her up by talking about happy things.
Despite her lack of enthusiasm, Neera managed to muster up some energy to chat for a while before heading upstairs to her room.
Elmer slammed the table in frustration, visibly annoyed.
“That punk Jean, saying he had to marry Neera and that he only loved Neera... It's been so many days, and he still isn't here yet. What on earth does he mean by this?”
Nadine made a “shush” gesture, pointing upstairs.
“Dad, please lower your voice. If Neera hears you, it will upset her.”
Elmer scowled and huffed, “Will she stop feeling hurt just because she doesn't hear me? Look at that girl's face. You can tell how disappointed she is! These past few days, she must have been waiting day and night for that punk to come, but until now, there's no sign of him! That jerk, just as I thought, he was all talk and had no heart!”
Nadine sighed, feeling anxious in her heart yet unable to offer any help.
That night, just as Neera had just laid down, she received a message from Jean: I'm sorry. Due to some matters, I have to delay my departure from the country for a few more days. I won't be able to attend your aunt's birthday banquet. Once I've sorted everything out, I'll come to see you.
Neera read these few short sentences over and over again, feeling inexplicably upset.
He didn't specify when exactly he would come.
So, when exactly was she supposed to wait until?
After her aunt's birthday banquet, she would be heading to Phison.
When would they meet again?
Half an hour had passed, and she hadn't replied to the message, nor did she want to.
Tossing her phone aside, she tossed and turned in bed, once again succumbing to insomnia...
Meanwhile, Jean was waiting for her message that never came, his mood sinking into melancholy.
If he could, how he yearned to cast everything aside, fly to Essley without a care, and be by her side.
But he couldn't...
When Neera woke up early the next morning, her head felt somewhat heavy.
The result of her insomnia was that she didn't fall asleep until the sky began to lighten.
She only managed to sleep for three hours.
That day was her aunt's birthday, and the whole family was ready to set off. They were heading to the vacation island that Chad bought for Adriana.
She had no choice but to muster her energy, get up, and start tidying up.
Adriana was still unaware of the surprise waiting for her and continued to grumble at Chad while eating breakfast.
“Why are you making such a fuss? A simple birthday celebration would suffice. The two elders are not young anymore. Why put them through all this hassle?”
Elmer waved his hand, showing he was not bothered at all.
“Regardless, we're at home all day with nothing much to do. It gets a bit boring after a while. Why not take this opportunity to go out and enjoy the natural scenery?”
Mariah was as excited as a child, exclaiming, “Baby girl, we're going to have fun!”
Neera chuckled, handing her a peeled egg. “Exactly, so you should eat more. That way, you'll have more energy when you play.”
Beside her, Nadine was laughing heartily. “Mom just doesn't like being cooped up at home. Now that she's recovered quite a bit, she enjoys going out even more.”
Seeing this, Adriana didn't say anything more.
After breakfast, the group set off for the dock.
Surprisingly, Avery, Violet, and the two elders of the Cox family were also present.
Neera was somewhat surprised. “Mr. Cox... How come you're here?”
Avery was dressed in light grey casual wear, giving off an air of nonchalance. The smile at the corner of his mouth seemed carefree and relaxed.
“Of course, I'm going to Mrs. Gordon's birthday banquet. We thought we'd set off with you all, so we came to the dock early to wait.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the luxurious cruise ship docked behind him.
“Mr. Gordon, Mrs. Gordon, if you don't mind, please join me on my boat. Let's go together.”
Chad naturally had no objections. He patted his shoulder. “You're thoughtful.”
Adriana also smiled and nodded. “Avery, thank you for your efforts.”
Avery spoke with grace. “There's no need to mention it. We're all like family here, Mrs. Gordon. Please, there's no need for formalities.”
Seeing this, Neera chose not to say anything more.
Seeing all this commotion, the three little ones couldn't muster any joy. Instead, they became even more worried.
Daddy, oh Daddy, you're really not pulling your weight, are you? If you don't show up soon, someone else is really going to steal Mommy away!
