The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1245

Tiago raised an eyebrow. "So, you've planned all this for her?"

Jean gazed at him, his eyes carrying a profound and enigmatic expression. "Absolutely, as long as it brings her happiness and allows her to fulfill her desires. Even if she aspires to be the ruler of Phison, I would claim the throne for her."

At that point, Tiago could see how Jean cherished that woman. He couldn't help but marvel at it while giving him a big thumbs up. "I doubt anyone has the courage for that. I have to hand it to you!"

Neera found herself in a challenging situation, not because she had any aspirations to assume the role of the ninth elder in the Bartitsu Guild.

Her initial hope had been that after the election, she could finally return home and reunite with her family.

However, becoming the district president had unexpectedly brought forth a multitude of issues that demanded her attention, leaving her more tied up than ever.

That was the reason she felt somewhat downcast.

Shane could only sigh. "You don't have a choice, Neera. You've just assumed your position, so there are a lot of things for you to handle. I'll assist you and help you get through this as quickly as possible. Once everything is settled, I'll take you home."

Neera could only accept the situation as it was, sighing as she nodded in resignation.

Once back in her room, she made a video call to the triplets.

The children were thrilled to see her on the screen. They started bumping their heads against each other as they scrambled to get closer to the screen. "Mommy! Are you coming back soon? When will that be? We miss you terribly!"

Neera's smile faded upon hearing those words, guilt gnawing at her conscience.

Her gaze swept over the children's faces, and she apologized, "I'm sorry, my babies. Mommy can't come home just yet."

Upon hearing the bad news, the triplets instantly raised their voices, exclaiming, "Why not? Didn't you call yesterday saying that everything had been sorted out and you'd be home with us soon?"

"Did something happen again? Mommy, you've been so busy lately, and we're really worried about you..."

Observing the disappointment on the children's faces, Neera was overcome with a sense of guilt for letting them down. "I'm really sorry, but it turns out I can't keep my promise just yet. At first, I thought I had everything under control here, but there's another important matter that's come up, and I need to give it my attention. I wish I could hop on a plane and be back with you right now, but the situation here won't allow it. I miss all of you so much, and I appreciate your patience. As soon as I wrap things up here, I'll be on my way back to spend some quality time with you."

The previous excitement of the three little ones has now evaporated, each of them looking as gloomy as a rainy day.

However, they couldn't bear to see Mommy upset, so they mustered up their spirits and replied, "It's all right, Mommy. We're here with Great-granddad, Great-granny, Grandaunt Nadine, and great-uncle. You don't need to worry about us, we're having a great time every day."

"That's right. We miss you a lot, but we're doing okay. We'll just patiently wait for your return!" After comforting Neera, Penny anxiously asked, "Mommy, what's the issue all about? Is it serious? Nothing bad will happen, right?"

Sammy, too, expressed his concern. "Please take good care of yourself over there. Otherwise, we'll be worried!"

Neera's heart was warmed by their sensibility, yet it also deepened her sense of guilt.

After humming in response, she replied, "It's something important but not risky, so don't worry. I'll take good care of myself, I promise."

The four of them kept up their chattering and casual conversation, and at that very moment, Nadine and Mariah joined in.

Mariah had been yearning for Neera's presence for quite some time. Now, as she saw Neera on the screen, she became agitated. "Oh, my baby girl. It's been days, and I can't help but wonder why you haven't come back yet. I miss you so much."

Neera comforted her with a warm smile. "Just a little while longer, and I'll be back soon. When I return, I'll prepare your favorite dish, those creamy garlic prawns you love so much."

Her response brought a smile to Mariah's face. She replied in excitement, "Alright! I'll eagerly await your return. Just so you know, I've been staying at home and behaving myself lately."

Neera flashed a faint grin. "That's good to know. You're the best."

After a while, Nadine took the phone and showered her with a series of heartfelt questions about her well-being.

Neera was concerned about Mariah's health, so she inquired, "How has Granny been feeling lately?"

Nadine smiled and replied, "She's much better now—even better than before, thanks to your medicine. Her condition is stable now, and it seems she's gradually recovering."

Suddenly, Nadine paused, her expression revealing a hint of helplessness. "However, she keeps confusing you with Stacy."

Neera nodded. "It'll take some time since the trauma wasn't developed overnight. She will recover gradually, so don't worry about it. Granny is so strong, and she'll definitely pull through."

"All right, got it. I'll take care of things here, so you don't need to worry about us. Take care of yourself over there, and come back safely. We'll wait for you to come home," Nadine said.

Neera's heart brimmed with warmth when she heard that.

For the longest time, the only thing Neera had in life was Adriana.

Now, she not only had Adriana and her triplets but also this wonderful and dear family, all of them caring for her and eagerly waiting for her return home.
