The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 477
Neera blushed in embarrassment.
I thought my marriage with Jean was only for show. Why are we wearing matching outfits? And… did Fabio say it's what Jean wanted? It's as though he really intends to marry me!
Neera shot a suspicious glance at Jean, though Jean seemed impassive as usual.
However, he was very satisfied with Fabio's designs.
"Thank you, Fabio! I need to give someone a hint at the upcoming annual gala, and I think this perfectly does the job. It'll save me a lot of trouble," he said happily.
"I'm happy that you like it!" Fabio said.
The outfits matched their figures perfectly, and there was no need for alteration. Fabio and Nettie soon left the scene.
Before he left, Fabio said to Neera, "Nettie will be your stylist on the day of the gala. She might usually seem rough on the edges, but she's very meticulous when it comes to makeup and hairstyling. I'm sure she'll make you look your best on the big day."
"Alright, thank you," Neera said.
Very soon, Fabio and Nettie left in their car, and only Jean and Neera were left in the living room.
Neera asked Jean, "Mr. Beauvort, I think it's time for you to explain what you mean when you said you need to give someone a hint at the annual gala."
Jean was surprised that Neera would ask her that, though he did not hide it from her.
"Well, I think I should let you know…"
He asked Neera to sit down before explaining why he had to attend the annual gala this year.
Neera was silent for some time after hearing Jean's story. Eventually, she said, "You mean your parents want us to separate, and they're using this opportunity to match you with Kyra Marks. Right?"
"That is indeed what they want," Jean replied.
As he spoke, he stared at Neera in the eye, wishing to see her reaction.
Neera remained calm on the surface, though she had to admit she felt aggrieved.
Looks like Jean's parents really want me out of the household. Otherwise, they wouldn't spend so much effort matching Jean with Kyra.
Even though Jean and Kyra were childhood friends, and the Beauvort and Marks families were of equal standing, Neera felt an inexplicable sense of annoyance when she imagined Jean being together with Kyra.
Neera frowned and looked at Jean. "So what do you plan to do? Are you going to follow your parents' wishes? After all, our marriage is only for show, and we'll have to divorce one day!"
Jean said snappily, "I don't plan to divorce you at all! If I did, why would I bother with matching outfits or even inviting you to go with me to the annual gala in the first place? As for our marriage…"
He narrowed his gaze and continued, "If I remember correctly, the terms of the contract say we are to stay married for two years. It's been only a few months. Are you planning to throw the towel already?"
Neera was surprised at Jean's take on the matter. She explained, "No… I'm not going to quit, but I'm sure your parents won't either."
"I know! That's why I'm bringing you to the annual gala with me. That way, they'll stop pestering me, and Kyra will also know that I'm not going to marry her. Also…"
He lifted his gaze and looked gently at Neera in the eye. "You're still my wife by name. My parents clearly aren't showing you any respect. Even though our marriage is only for show, I wouldn't want you to be harmed in any way because of what they want."
