The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1494

Chapter 1494 

That night, Jean was holding Neera in bed as he kissed her forehead and said, “Thank you.” 

Neera blinked at him, puzzled. “What? Why the sudden appreciation?” 

Jean held her close, his fingers threading through her soft, thick hair, gently stroking it. When he spoke, his voice was warm and tender. 

“Thank you for opening your heart to my mother and accepting her.”

Neera was first taken aback, then she laughed. “What difference does it make whether I accept her or not? She is, after all, your mother. That’s not something that can be changed, and your relationship can’t be severed. Besides, it’s not like she has committed some unforgivable crime. Why should I hold onto it?” 

Jean raised an eyebrow. “In any case, I want to say thank you. Because of what you said today, my mother has clearly relaxed a lot. I could tell she was genuinely happy tonight, not just trying to please you.’ 

Neera let out a “hmm” and said, “I’m not a fool. I can tell whether someone is trying to curry favor or treating me sincerely. At first, she was indeed trying to win my forgiveness, deliberately trying to please me. But everything she did afterward, I understood. As for the matter of my adoptive parents, she could have easily turned them away, but she didn’t. From that, I know she truly has my best interests at heart.” 

At this point, she paused, then continued, “As for me, I always remember those who treat me well, and I repay their kindness tenfold, even a hundredfold. As for past issues, we had different perspectives and misunderstandings, but let’s leave it at that. She’s been through a lot. As long as she understands, that’s enough.” 

She finished speaking, then it was as if she remembered something. Pulling away from his embrace, she blinked her large eyes repeatedly. 

“You used to always tell me not to be so formal with you, that there’s no need to say thank you. But why are you being formal with me today? I don’t like hearing this, you know.” 

Jean’s eyes darkened slightly. “All right, I won’t speak. I’ll just act.” 

After he finished speaking, he suddenly rolled over, pinning her beneath him… 

The next day, when Neera woke up, still groggy from sleep, the sun was already high in the sky. 

The warmth had already left the bedding next to her, nor was Jean anywhere in sight. Evidently, he had been up for quite some time. 

Neera glanced at her phone in a daze, only to realize it was already past ten. 

Just as she was about to put it down, she suddenly noticed that Isabella had sent over a dozen messages, and there were several missed calls. She was taken aback. 

Rubbing her eyes, she opened the messages with curiosity to read them. As she scrolled down, her expression grew increasingly serious. 

Isabella: Holy cr*p, I’m really done. How can your adoptive parents be so shameless? 

They have the audacity to release audio clips: they must have deliberately edited them!

Why won’t you answer my calls? Are you still sleeping? If you don’t wake up soon, the public discourse is only going to get more heated! 

Oh, my heart is about to explode, all because of their vexing behavior! Does Mr. Beauvort know about this? Please find a way to suppress things. This can’t go on… 

In addition to those messages, Isabella had also sent some screenshots. 

They were all of various discussions on the internet. 

It turned out that after being driven out of Beauvort Manor yesterday, Maggie and Nigel, unwilling to accept their fate, actually sought out the media and started accusing Neera and the Beauvort family online.
