The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 207

Neera had indeed forgotten about it.

After what happened yesterday, part of her didn't want to go.

The triplets, however, were excited. All three of them had been looking forward to it for ages. She couldn't say no.

After a brief silence, she decided to indulge their wishes. "I'm sorry. Mommy's been so busy lately. I forgot about it."

They were understanding and didn't seem to mind.

"That's okay. You work so hard for us, Mommy. It's normal to forget things sometimes!"

"Yup! We're used to it. You don't have to say sorry, Mommy."

"All that matters is that we can all go out together and play!"

Neera found it amusing to watch each of them speaking in turn.

"Alright. We'll go together. But all of you have to go to bed early tonight. We have to wake up early tomorrow."

The triplets patted their chest. "Don't worry, Mommy. We'll sleep early!"



The next day, Jean came over early from next door to pick Neera and the triplets up.

Any lingering resentment in her heart vanished in an instant when she saw how he kept his promise.

She wasn't a petty person and rarely held grudges. She greeted him warmly.

"Good morning. Have you had breakfast? You should join us if you haven't. We can head out after."

Jean observed her for a moment. He nodded after seeing how calm she was. "Sure."

With the addition of Ian, the group, now consisting of six people, had breakfast before setting off.

Ian was in charge of driving, while Neera, Jean, and the three children sat in the back.

The triplets could barely contain their excitement.

"Mommy, Uncle Jean, we made a lot of plans yesterday!"

Jean raised a brow in response. "Oh? I suppose we'll be following your lead when we get there."

Sammy immediately puffed out his chest with pride. "Leave it to us!"

Penny agreed with a grin. She couldn't wait to share the plan.

"When we get there, we're first going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. There's going to be a lot of people there. So, let's go early so we don't have to wait in line for a long time! Then, we can go to Jurassic World and the Transformers Metrobase. We'll go to WaterWorld in the afternoon …"

Neera listened with amusement. "You three must have planned this out well in advance to know so much."

The triplets exchanged adorable wide-eyed smiles. Their cuteness was too overwhelming; it was impossible to refuse them.

Neera couldn't help but smile. "Alright, I'll let all three of you take the lead today. But play responsibly."

She had been so busy recently. It was rare for her to be out with the triplets.

She wasn't going to spoil their fun when they were so excited.

This was, however, an entirely new experience for Jean.

He had never been interested in amusement parks. He had only agreed to come so as not to disappoint the children.

Yet for some reason, he felt a hint of an unfamiliar emotion when seeing the children so animated and excited …

Ian was sent to get tickets when they arrived at Universal Studios. The remaining five waited.

Neera was worried about losing the triplets in the dense crowd, so she instructed them to hold hands.

The triplets did as they were told. Penny held Jean's hand while Harvey held onto Neera.

The striking appearance of the two adults and three children together quickly attracted numerous gazes and discussions from onlookers.

"Wow, that family of five is so good-looking!"

"I'm so jealous. Those are some prime genes. The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and their children are gorgeous too. It's unbelievable. Even their kids are so attractive. I'm so envious."

"Who wouldn't be …?"

The triplets were delighted to hear the praise and couldn't help but wink at their mother.

"Did you hear that, Mommy? They think we're a family of five!"

A family of five … They had been called that the last time they went to see the fireworks together.

It was strange. Was there such a strong resemblance among them?

Neera couldn't help but stare at Jean.

Jean coincidentally also happened to look at her. In that brief moment of eye contact, she felt a subtle shift in the atmosphere, almost like a charge in the air.

She hastily shifted her gaze away and gently tapped Sammy on the head.

"That's because those people don't know the situation. Enough with the nonsense."

Sammy spoke up in confidence, "What's wrong with that? I'll also call Uncle Jean 'Daddy’ if he lets us!"

"Me too!"

Both Penny and Harvey raised their hands.

Neera was amused by her three little mischief-makers. With hands on her hips, she was about to deliver a loving educational lecture when Mo Yan returned with the tickets, cutting her off.

She helplessly said to Jean, "I'm sorry. The kids say anything that comes to their heads. Don't take it to heart."

Jean didn't mind. "You are my wife now. Calling us a family of five isn't exactly wrong."

With that said, he followed the triplets into the theme park.
