The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1282

The next day was sunny and beautiful, making it the perfect day for an outing.

The triplets were thrilled when they heard about the sea outing. They were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves. They stayed up late into the night and woke up before dawn to pack their things.

After Neera finished washing up, she entered their room. She was completely stunned to see the three suitcases lined up side by side. "Are you planning on living on the boat?" she asked.

Sammy poked his head out of the bathroom, his electric toothbrush buzzing in his mouth. His speech was muffled as he said, "Sure thing! Let's go out and explore!"

Harvey stepped out and advised him, "Don't talk with something in your mouth. Go brush your teeth first."

As the eldest brother, Harvey's words carried weight and his younger siblings greatly respected him.

Sammy blinked and cheerfully continued to brush his teeth, his little bottom wiggling as he went.

Neera couldn't help but laugh and asked Harvey, "Why did you bring so much stuff? We're just going out to sea for fun, not for an adventure."

"Mommy, wait a moment," Harvey responded. He went to the head of the bed and picked up the tablet. "Mommy, look," he said as he lit up the screen. "This is Wind Chime Island. It's very close to the dock on the west side of Phison. It would probably take just over an hour to get there."

Neera finally understood. "So, you guys want to go play on this Wind Chime Island?"

Harvey nodded and swiped twice on the screen. "These pictures are of Wing Chime Island that we found. It's beautiful. There's also a holiday mansion there. I've already inquired about it. We can move in as soon as we arrive. Mommy, let's go together and stay on the island for a few more days."

Despite his young age, Harvey handled things as orderly and maturely as an adult.

Neera chuckled and poked his little head. "So, you guys stayed up until midnight last night just to plan this out, huh? You've already arranged everything. Were you planning to act first and report later?"

Harvey was always a well-behaved child who followed the rules. Whatever he did, whatever thoughts he had, he always discussed them with Neera in advance, seeking her approval. That was his first time making decisions on his own without discussing it with her.

Neera was quite surprised, but she didn't mean to reprimand him. Instead, she was just teasing him playfully.

The little one blinked and said softly, "Mommy, you've been so busy lately. We've noticed that you haven't had any pressing matters these past few days, so we thought it would be good for you to relax a bit. Also, you and daddy had a disagreement before, and it's been a long time since our family has spent some happy time together. We're all really looking forward to this trip. Could we go ahead with the plan?"

His eyes were filled with unmistakable anticipation.

Neera's heart melted. "How can I possibly bear to refuse him? Indeed, for a long time, I've been neglecting the children's emotions and feelings. Now that I'm free, why not spend time with them and let them enjoy themselves for a few days? In Phison, every time I step out, I feel all sorts of gazes falling on me, always making me feel uncomfortable. It seems the triplets must feel the same way."

"Okay," she said, pinching Harvey's cheek. "I'm fine with the plan. Let's go ask your daddy later to see if he has time for it."

Before she could finish her words, Jean's deep, mellow voice came from behind. "I have the time, and since the kids want to go, we'll just accompany them."

When Neera turned around, she saw Jean leaning against the door with his arms crossed. He exuded casual elegance, a blend of nobility and nonchalance.

"You're awake," she said, a smile appearing in her eyes.

Jean raised an eyebrow. "The moment I woke up, there was no one in sight," he complained with a hint of indulgence.

Neera rubbed her nose and said, "I woke up early and saw you were still sleeping, so I didn't disturb you. I went downstairs and prepared some packed meals, thinking we could eat them on the boat."

At that moment, the other two little ones who had been eavesdropping behind the bathroom door excitedly appeared, instantly throwing themselves into Jean's arms. "Wow! Daddy's the best! Our whole family is going on a trip! We're going to have fun on an island!"

The usually reserved and composed Harvey couldn't help but break into a smile, his face full of excitement.

Jean bent down, giving Sammy and Penny a kiss. Then, he beckoned Harvey over and planted a kiss on his cheek as well. "Good morning, little ones. Let's head downstairs for breakfast first. We'll be setting off soon."

"Yes!" The children were overjoyed, dancing and prancing around as they excitedly bounded down the stairs.

Upon hearing that they were planning to go to Wind Chime Island, both Chad and Adriana expressed their full support.

"Go on. Take a good break. You don't need to worry about things here. Shane and I are keeping an eye on everything. If any issues arise, we'll handle them."

"That's right. Enjoy a few more days. Just be safe. We'll be waiting for you at home."
