The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 He Covered for Neera
After Neera and Adriana went to pick up the triplets, they went to the restaurant.
The triplets had not seen Adriana for a long time and missed her. They were pleased and sensibly served Adriana food.
“Grandaunt, try this! This dish is delicious!”
“Grandaunt, eat this one! It can beautify your skin and make you look younger!”
“And this one! It’s good for the skin too! Grandaunt, eat more!”
The triplets were chattering, which made Adriana smile, and she was happy.
The atmosphere in the private room was lively, but Neera was in a daze. She poked at the pasta on the plate, felt uninterested, full of apprehension, and a little apologetic.
She sent Jean a message and wondered if Jean had seen it.
Would he be angry? I promised him to return, but I suddenly changed my mind. If it were anyone else, he would be unhappy, right?
Although Neera was also looking forward to Adriana’s return, it was a coincidence that Adriana returned tonight.
Adriana chatted and laughed with the triplets, then saw Neera looking listless.
“What’s wrong with you? Aren’t you happy when I come back? Are you uncomfortable?”
Neera shook her head and put down the fork with some distress.
“I’m fine. I’m glad you’re back. I always looked forward to reuniting with you. But I did have an important appointment tonight. I broke the appointment with my friend last time. I promised to apologize today, but I broke my promise again.”
Adriana was stunned when she heard that. “Oh dear, why didn’t you make it clear earlier? I was happy to reunite with you. I didn’t think it through. What should we do? I can help you explain to your friend and apologize.”
“Forget it. It’s not that serious.”
Neera knew that Adriana did not mean any harm. Adriana only missed her and the triplets too much! Not wanting to worry Adriana, she shook her head.
“It’s not a big deal. I’ll apologize to my friend later. It’s my fault that I didn’t explain to you.”
Harvey was clever and roughly guessed what happened from Neera’s expression.
He poked his head toward Neera’s side and whispered, “Mommy, did you date Uncle Jean?”
Neera nodded lightly and replied, “I originally agreed to go to the mansion with him tonight.”
Harvey reassured Neera warmly, “Don’t worry. Just apologize to Uncle Jean later. I’ll accompany you.”
When Neera heard that, she showed a slight smile.
Jean was indeed a little displeased. He did not like anyone who broke the appointment, including Neera. But he was calm and stood up suddenly.
“Dad, Mom, something happened at the company. I have to rush over now. I won’t eat at home tonight. I’ll bring Neera back another day”
Frederic was surprised. “What happened to the company? Are you going to leave without eating?”
As a woman, Wrenn had keen intuition and immediately felt something was wrong. She questioned Jean sharply, “Couldn’t it be that Neera couldn’t come again? That’s why you leave in a hurry to cover for her!”
Jean frowned and said lightly, “No, it’s indeed the company’s business.”
However, Wrenn did not believe it, and her anger suddenly surged. She could not help but criticize Neera.
“Why are you still protecting her at this point? Look at her attitude! She doesn’t even care about you, let alone us! She broke appointments twice and didn’t even show herself! She might continue to ignore us and do whatever she wants in the future!”
