The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 187

Upon hearing the words, Neera was taken aback.

This man seemed to genuinely care about her injuries.

However... the scene during the day when this guy applied medicine to her came to her mind. Her face suddenly turned hot, and she immediately waved her hand, refusing firmly, "No need. It's just a minor wound, not serious. I'll take care of it when I go back."

"Your wound is on your back, and it's not convenient for you to apply the medicine yourself."

"It's fine. I can ask Penny for help."

They both went back and forth, neither willing to give in.

In the end, Jean completely ignored her refusal and spoke with an unwavering tone, "Listen, come over! The situation is because of me, and I should take full responsibility. It's my principle as a person."

Neera, "..."

What is this philosophy? Isn't it just applying some medicine? Why is he making it such a big deal!

She was afraid of causing any awkward situation and still wanted to refuse. However, when she met Jean's gaze, the words of refusal on her lips inexplicably swallowed back.

After a brief standoff, she could only walk over, consciously lift her clothes, exposing the injury, and wait for Jean to apply the medicine.

After completing these actions, she belatedly realized and couldn't help but despise herself in her heart...

Had she gotten used to being forced? Why did she obediently comply!!!

Jean was satisfied, brought the ointment over, and gently applied it to her wound.

Both of them remained silent, and the atmosphere in the room still carried a hint of subtle ambiguity.

Neera's skin tingled as Jean's slightly cool fingertips touched it, and a faint pink color resurfaced.

The peculiar feeling from before quietly emerged in her heart again.

Neera felt uneasy all over.

In order not to reveal her emotions, she kept her head half-lowered. Unbeknownst to her, her ears had already turned red.

Jean keenly caught this and couldn't help but pause at the reddened tips of her ears.

Then, his thin lips curved up slightly, and he felt a tingling sensation in his heart.

Unconsciously, he had the urge to reach out and touch them.

Fortunately, he restrained himself...

After applying the ointment properly, Neera hurriedly put down her clothes and hastily said, "Rest early." Then, she ran away without looking back.

Watching her fleeing figure, Jean's eyes twinkled with a hint of amusement...

When Neera returned to the next room, the triplets were already asleep.

Zuniga came out carrying a water glass and happened to see her standing absentmindedly in the living room, feeling a little puzzled.

"Ms. Garcia, what's the matter? Why are you standing here lost in thought?"

Neera snapped back to her senses at the sound, first responded with a blank "Ah," and then her face flushed.

She seemed to have been acting too much lately, which was why she always experienced all sorts of strange feelings.

Until now, she still felt a tingling sensation on her back...

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about work. Auntie Zuniga, please rest early."

After saying that, she went straight upstairs.

The next day, after sending the triplets to school, she went directly to the company.

Levi had already contacted the other male star, Simon Channing, as per her decision.

The other party readily agreed to endorse their company's products.

Upon hearing the news, Neera nodded and immediately asked, "Did they mention when they'll sign the contract?"

Levi replied promptly, "They said the time is set for today... After all, we still need to consider the promotion later, so we talked to them, and they agreed. However, Simon has an important shoot today and can't leave, so I have to go over to their company's studio in person to meet him and discuss the contract details."

Neera had no objections, "What time did you arrange?"

Levi said, "At ten o’clock in the morning."

Neera checked her schedule and saw that she didn't have too much on her plate, so she said, "Prepare well, and I'll go with you."

Levi gladly agreed.
