The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1103

On the way, Neera gazed at the beautiful coastline not far from the window, and her mood relaxed automatically.

The sea in this region was slightly different from the one she had seen from the cruise ship.

The color of the sea was closer to emerald green, crystal clear and incredibly beautiful.

Leaning against the car seat, her thoughts drifted off, and she couldn't help but think of that person again.

Who knows what he's doing at this moment...

Several minutes later, the group arrived at a mansion.

Nadine looked at the beautiful surroundings and thanked Adriana with a smile.

“Adriana, Mr. Gordon has been very kind to you. We are all here because of you, and get to experience such a beautiful place.”

“Indeed, you can tell at a glance that a lot of thought has been put into this...”

The group entered the mansion with laughter and chatter. They took a look around, then assigned rooms and settled down for some rest.

After drifting at sea for half a day, Neera felt a lot more reassured now that her feet were stepping firmly on solid ground.

Standing on the balcony, she gazed at the scenery outside with her hand clutching her phone. She looked hesitant.

Since the message she received from Jean last night, there had been no news at all.

Should I tell him where I am at this moment?

She was also about to head to Phison soon, he probably didn't know about that yet...

The triplets were constantly reading her mood, and to some extent, they guessed the reason for her distraction.

For them, this was indeed a good thing.

This shows that Mommy still has Daddy in her heart.

The triplets exchanged glances, then secretly sent a message to their dad...

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.

Chad had a luxurious banquet hall specially built for the occasion. The birthday dinner would be held there.

As night fell, the invited guests began to arrive one after another.

These people were all familiar with the Gordon family. Upon meeting, they all exchanged pleasantries with smiles.

Neera was dressed in a simple yet elegant white evening gown, assisting in entertaining guests by the side of Chad and Adriana.

The triplets were also dressed exquisitely.

The boys were dressed in tiny black tuxedos, while the girl was in a beautiful dress. They looked just like dolls and utterly adorable.

The atmosphere was growing livelier by the minute. By the time the sky had completely darkened, all the guests had arrived.

After the banquet began, everyone present came over to toast Adriana one after another.

This lady was none other than the only woman acknowledged by Chad personally. They would soon get married, and she was considered the future lady of the Gordon family. Naturally, no one dared to treat her lightly.

Neera stayed behind and accompanied them, so she also saw the rest of the Gordon family.

Including Baxter who came to cause trouble at her birthday party.

This time, when he saw her, his attitude was still poor and he pulled a long face.

When Neera looked back, he gave her a cold, piercing stare.

However, Neera didn't mind. She didn't have the ability to make everyone accept and like her.

She had grown accustomed to taking things lightly whenever she faced hostile glances and not let them bother her at all. With a natural demeanor, she casually shifted her gaze away.

At that moment, a tall young man, holding a wine glass, walked over.

He looked refined, sporting a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, exuding an elegant demeanor. At first glance, he was unmistakably a gentleman of high breeding.

Approaching closer, he first cheerfully called out, “Uncle Chad”, then followed it up with a beaming congratulation to Adriana.

“Wishing you a happy birthday, dear Aunt Adriana. Although this is our first meeting, I've heard much about you from my uncle. From now on, we are family. I look forward to learning from you.”

Adriana was very familiar with the people of the Gordon family. Although she had never seen this face before, she recognized him immediately.

“You must be Shane, right?”

The young man nodded with a smile.

Upon closer inspection, Neera noticed that he had a pair of captivating eyes. They were incredibly enticing.

The only thing that lessened his enchanting aura was the pair of gold-rimmed glasses he wore.

“Indeed, it's me. Aunt Adriana, you are not only beautiful but also full of charm. No wonder my uncle treasures you as if you were the apple of his eye.”

Even though it was just a polite remark, Adriana found it sweet to her ears. She laughed shyly and said, “Oh boy, you really fit your uncle's description on you. You really know how to flatter others.”

Chad looked over and introduced Neera.

“His name is Shane, my elder brother's son. My elder brother and his wife passed away early, so I essentially raised this boy myself. He's four years older than you. I've been able to spend time with your aunt as I please all thanks to him helping me manage part of the business.”

Next, he introduced Shane to another person, “This is Neera, your Aunt Adriana's niece. She is as dear to her as a daughter.”

Shane looked at Neera. His eyes were filled with admiration, his demeanor warm and enthusiastic.

“I've been longing to meet Neera for a while now. When Uncle Chad announced your identity last time, I wanted to come, but unfortunately, I was held back by some matters. That's why I couldn't make it to your birthday celebration. I'm glad that I finally get to meet you today.”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the person following him. Immediately, a blue velvet brocade box was handed over to him, which he then passed to her.

“Nice to meet you for the first time. This is a small token of affection from me as your elder brother.”

Upon taking a look, Neera discovered that it was a rather valuable necklace inside.

Not only that, even the triplets received his gifts.

Adriana didn't expect him to be so well-prepared, she praised, “You're really thoughtful, my child.”
