The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 144
After Frederic hung up without giving Jean a chance to reply, he felt a bit cornered. Clenching his phone, he furrowed his brow with a deep gaze.
Having heard most of the conversation, Ian came forward and tried to console him. "Sire, I don't think you need to worry about Ms. Garcia. Just think about it, has she ever suffered any losses? Even when Zachary tried to mess with her, she fearlessly put him in his place. Your relatives won't even dare to touch her, let alone take advantage of her."
He chuckled slyly and continued, "Instead of worrying about them, maybe you should be concerned about whether Ms. Garcia will get fed up and take the entire Beauvort family to task during the dinner!"
Ian's words struck a chord with Jean, and he realized that might indeed be the case. Although they hadn't known each other for long, the feisty woman had a track record of handling herself well.
With this in mind, Jean's worries eased, and he decided to follow his father's ultimatum and bring Neera to the family dinner. After all, if anything happened, he would be there to protect her.
He instructed Ian, "Tell Richard to prepare a few more dishes for tonight. Ask Ms. Garcia to bring the triplets and join us for dinner."
With that settled, Jean's brow relaxed, and he calmly continued with his business.
...
As the evening approached, Neera was about to ask Zuniga what they could have for dinner when Ian arrived. Seeing him, she couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy, as he usually brought some news.
"Is something wrong with him again?" she asked, concerned about Jean's health.
Ian waved his hand, smiling politely. "Sire is perfectly fine at the moment, no health issues. Ms. Garcia, I am here on behalf of Mr. Beauvort to invite you to have dinner next door. Mr. Beauvort has prepared a table full of delicious food to entertain you and the triplets."
Neera felt puzzled. "Why would Mr. Beauvort suddenly want to invite us over for dinner?"
Ian maintained his courteous smile and explained, "Oh, it's nothing special. Perhaps Sire just thinks that since you are neighbors, it's nice to get together more often. Besides, he is aware of the effort you put into taking care of him, and he is grateful for your kindness. Having a dinner is just a small gesture of appreciation."
His words were flawless, leaving no room for objections.
While Neera was still contemplating, the triplets, who had eavesdropped on the conversation from the corner of the hallway, happily burst out, "That sounds great! Mommy, Uncle Jean is being kind. Let's go!"
Before she could respond, the triplets eagerly headed to the next door. Neera couldn't help but sigh.
As the triplets added excitement to the dinner, the atmosphere became lively. Jean, who usually preferred a quiet environment, surprisingly found their presence enjoyable.
After a satisfying meal, the triplets took their pets to the yard to play, while Jean invited Neera to the gazebo to play chess.
During the game, Neera couldn't help but ask, "Is there a reason behind your invitation tonight?"
Jean didn't hide anything and put down a chess piece, looking straight at her with his raised eyelids.
"Yes, there is something. I hope you can accompany me to the Beauvort family this week and attend a family dinner."
He was straightforward, and Neera didn't object. After all, they had already agreed to cooperate with this act. She just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Well, I don't know much about the Beauvort family. Should I do some research in advance?" she inquired.
