The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 506

Neera could not help but feel a little funny when she saw the triplets' deep admiration and dependence on Jean.

They're too easily getting bribed! But what Jean did was satisfying.

However, she never thought that this kindergarten was under the Beauvort Group.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Neera blinked and looked at Jean.

Jean said casually, "There's nothing to say."

Neera nodded. She thought and said, "Thank you for what happened just now."

When Jean was about to pick up the fork, he paused and looked at her without saying anything.

Neera touched her nose and whispered, "I know you don't like to hear it, but..."

"Then don't talk about it in the future." Jean interrupted her, then looked at the triplets and changed the topic. "There are activities in the afternoon. Eat more, or you'll be hungry."

The triplets nodded, behaved well, and even served Jean food. "Daddy, you too!"

They also served food to Neera. "Mommy, you should eat more!"

Neera nodded and glanced at Jean. Seeing Jean silently eating the food served by the triplets, she felt inexplicably good.

After lunch, everyone took a brief rest. At two o'clock, the tree planting activity started. The sun shone brightly outside, so Neera put sunscreen on the triplets and herself before going out.

Finally, she handed it to Jean. "Would you like to put on sunscreen too?"

Jean frowned with a strange expression. He had never used this thing before and did not know how to use it.

After a few seconds, he gave up and called Neera, "Help me."

Neera blinked. "Just squeeze it out and apply it on your arms. You don't know how to do this?"

Jean nodded. "Yes, I don't know."

Neera could not help but laugh and could only help him. She applied it carefully on Jean's arm.

The slippery feeling made Jean's heart itch. He looked at Neera and felt that she attracted him more and more.

Five minutes later, they made all the preparations and went out.

After arriving at the park, a dedicated person in charge explained the specific planting steps and precautions. After that, the parents went to get the tools together.

Neera took five small shovels and buckets and soon started working with the triplets. In the beginning, everyone was unfamiliar with it. But they slowly found the trick. Half an hour later, the triplets had worked together to plant the first sapling.

"Mommy, Daddy, look! How is it?" The triplets patted the soil on their hands and asked for praise excitedly.

Neera took a look and found that their work was good. She smiled and praised them.

Jean also expressed gentle appreciation, "You all did a great job."

The triplets were very happy to be praised.

Neera glanced at him and could not help but laugh. Jean raised his eyebrows slightly. "Why do you laugh?"

Neera replied tactfully, "I didn't expect you to do such a thing..."

Jean was usually aloof with a dignified temperament, which was incompatible with the current scene.

However, he looked solemn and got more proficient in using the shovel. He dug the soil, planted saplings, and filled in the land. After a while, he successfully planted his tree.

Neera looked it over and found it was good, so she could not help but say, "You're outstanding. I didn't expect you to be so capable in this matter. You do it as soon as you get started."

Jean was in a good mood when he heard her praise and showed off to her. "I've always been a quick learner."

After speaking, he looked at her. She planted so seriously that she did not know when she got some dirt on her face.

Neera felt confused. "Why do you look at me?"

Jean did not answer the question but waved to her. "Come here."

Neera was puzzled and muttered, "What's wrong?"

Then, she moved toward him. She saw him raising his hand and wanted to touch her face when she got closer.

Looking at Jean's dirt-stained hands, Neera shrank back subconsciously. "What are you doing?"

Jean realized that his hands were also dirty, so he smiled and used his sleeves to wipe the dirt off her face gently.
