The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1115

Neera felt a bit flustered at seeing the term of endearment.

However, she was completely oblivious, not realizing that she had already given herself away. She thought he was talking about the children.

A moment later, Jean sent another message: It's getting late, so you should head to bed. Goodnight and sweet dreams.

His tone appeared to be the same as when he spoke to the children, with no discernible difference.

Hence, Neera didn't harbor any doubts. She glanced at the time and, indeed, it was already quite late, so she responded with a simple: Good night.

Having finally spoken her mind using another method, her restless heart finally settled down, and this time, she fell asleep quickly.

For the next two to three days, Neera spent time with her grandparents, having fun exploring the island.

Ever since Mariah arrived here, her mood had been quite delightful. She was all smiles every day, and with her spirits lifted, she seemed physically stronger than before.

Neera felt that this island would be a good place for convalescing, so she made a suggestion.

“Uncle Jeremiah, if you have no other matters to attend to, why not stay here a bit longer? I see that both Granddad and Granny really like it here. The environment is great, and the air is fresh. Staying here longer will be good for their health, and it will also improve their mood.”

Jeremiah had no objections.

Nadine also felt that this was a good idea.

“Since Neera will be leaving for Phison after we return, it doesn't matter where we stay. We might as well spend more time here with Mom and Dad.”

Upon hearing this, Elmer nodded. “All right, then. Let's stay here. Once Neera returns, we can go back. After they leave, we can move to the hotel.”

Upon hearing this, Chad smiled gently.

“What are you talking about? We're all family here, so there's no need for you to stay in a hotel. During this period, just make yourself at home here. Do as you please. I'll leave the servants here to take care of your meals and daily needs. If there's anything inconvenient, feel free to tell me anytime. I'll help you sort it out.”

Nadine felt a bit embarrassed. “Won't this be too much trouble for you?”

Chad chuckled. “As long as Mrs. Park can recuperate in peace, there's no such thing as trouble. We're all family here; there's no need to be so formal.”

Upon hearing that, Elmer nodded and praised, “You are thoughtful.”

The three little ones tilted their heads, looking at Neera. “Mommy, what about us?”

Neera playfully tweaked their little noses with a smile.

“You all should stay here to spend more time with your elders. Be good, and don't cause them any trouble. When I return from Phison, I'll come to take you home.”

The children felt a bit down at the thought of having to part with their mother again.

However, they were very understanding and didn't want to worry Neera, so they agreed.

“Okay. We'll behave ourselves, so you don't need to worry about us, Mommy. As for you, remember to rest and don't forget to eat even when you're busy.”

Neera rubbed their little heads, smiling and saying, “Got it.”

Beside them, Mariah listened for quite some time before she finally understood what was going on.

“Baby girl, are you leaving? Won't you stay here with me?”

She quickly stepped forward to take Neera's hand in hers, her face filled with worry while her eyes shimmered with unease.

“Indeed, I'm leaving, but I will return.” Neera comforted her, “I need to step out for a bit to take care of something. The children will stay here with you. Be good, take your medicine when it's time, and sleep when you need to. I'll come back for you in the future. If I see that you're not looking well, I might get upset.”

The old lady let out an “ah,” but this time, she didn't make a fuss. Instead, she obediently nodded.

“All right, I'll listen to you, my child. I'll definitely take good care of my health. You must... You must come back, okay?”

At night, the triplets, reluctant to part with their mother, came to sleep with Neera.

The bed was quite spacious, but it was inevitably a bit cramped when one adult and three children lay down together on it.

However, Neera didn't mind at all. Hugging the children, she felt both immense happiness and a touch of reluctance.

Her trip to Phison this time would indeed be risky, and it was uncertain what might happen, so it was for the best not to take them along.

“I'm always saying I need to spend more time with you, but it's been hard trying to make it happen. I'm sorry, my babies. I've neglected you.”

Penny wrapped her arms around her mother's neck and, with a “smack,” planted a kiss on her face.

“Mommy, you haven't been neglecting us. Didn't you just spend several days playing with us? Don't think like that.”

“Yeah! We understand that you have a lot on your plate, and it's okay. You don't need to worry about us.”

“During this trip to Phison, you must be careful and take good care of yourself. We'll be waiting for your return...”

Neera's heart melted at their concern, and she cooed, “All right. I'll be back in a few days. Just think of it as a business trip. You'll see me again very soon.”

The very next morning, after packing up their belongings, Neera and the others bid farewell to their family and embarked on their journey back home.

After disembarking from the ship, Avery first arranged to send Neera and the others back home.

When they arrived home, Avery got out of the car and leaned against the door as he said to Neera, “You start unpacking first. I'll come to pick you up later.”

Neera nodded and entered the mansion.
