The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 127

After entering through the doors, the triplets could not wait to greet Jean, “Uncle Jean, good evening!”

Jean was not annoyed to see them at all. In fact, he softened at their sight, “Come sit down.”

The triplets missed him very much. They all sat down next to him.

Neera felt speechless upon seeing them behaving like that.

It felt like they were not her children at this moment, from the way they could not stop sticking themselves to that man.

As the mother, she actually felt a little tinge of jealousy at the sight of them!

However, it was just some lamenting on her part. She would not express such trivial emotion.

After all, they had not signed the contract yet…

As she thought about that, Jean came over with the contract, “Take a look at it. If there’s no problem, just sign it.”

Neera nodded and leafed through the pages diligently.

She had to admit that the Beauvort Group had put in place some stringent terms and conditions. They were almost forceful.

However, the Beauvort Group was at the top of the food chain. They could do this without anyone batting an eyelid.

Not many companies could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Beauvort Group, not even those from overseas.

They had the right to be stringent with their terms. They were powerful enough to convince others.

Neera signed the documents happily after making sure nothing was amiss.

Jean had also signed his copy. He handed his copy to Ian.

When Ian took the contract, he was impressed by the whole situation.

For such a trivial matter, only Ms. Garcia could make Jean do this personally.

His employees would be the ones dealing with such matters normally. Sometimes, Jean would not even know the details.

Furthermore, Jean was infamous for abiding by the rules strictly, no matter who the opposition was.

It seemed that Dr. Garcia was special to him in some way…

The triplets began to coo when they got the chance, “Uncle Jean, thank you for taking care of Mummy at work. She owes you one now!”

Sammy said, “That’s right, you are our savior! We are lucky to meet someone like you!”

Penny said, “Uncle Jean, we should have dinner tonight if you are free!”

Jean did not know what to say as he was bombarded by their adorable voices. He rejected their goodwill albeit a little reluctantly, “This is nothing. It’s nothing that you should thank me so much for.”

However, the triplets continued to make a ruckus as if they would continue to do so if Jean did not cave in.

Harvey knew what to say at that moment as he winked, “What do you mean that we should not thank you? Uncle Jean, with your position in the Beauvort World, so many international brands are competing to get a place there, yet you make an exception for Mummy. Of course, we need to thank you for that. Mummy always says that we should be grateful, don’t you think so, Mummy?”

He then looked at Neera as if it was the natural progression of their conversation.

Neera was surprised but she would not get mad at him for being so cheeky. She could only nod albeit a little helplessly.

“He’s right… I need to treat you tonight, so you should come over and have dinner together. It’s not a big deal to prepare your portion. I have adjusted to the composition of your medicine too and it should be more effective than just now. It’s my thank you for your exception.”

He did not reject her invitation since he wanted that new medicine, “Well, thank you too.”

The triplets led Jean and they went back to Neera’s place.

Neera instructed them to look after Jean since he was a guest now. She and Zuniga began to busy themselves in the kitchen.

An hour later, she removed her apron and emerged from the kitchen. Just as she was about to call them to eat together, the triplets were all huddled around him, and they were laughing and cheering.

She took a peek and saw that Jean was holding a drawing. It was the same drawing that the triplets had drawn for him at their class during the day…
