The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 540

After a few minutes, Adriana came downstairs.

Neera had been worried about Adriana and hurriedly went to check on Adriana. "Aunt Adriana, are you okay? Did they do anything to you?"

Adriana shook her head and sighed helplessly. "Silly girl. Why do you come?"

"You're locked up here! How could I not come?" Neera felt distressed and suddenly hugged Adriana. "Aunt Adriana, you scared me to death! Come back with me. I can't watch you stay here anymore!"

Adriana could not hide her fatigue, but she still smiled. "You're already a mother of three children. Why are you still acting like a little girl?"

Neera held Adriana's hand and begged softly, "Aunt Adriana, come back with me."

She was scared. The family she cared about most was the triplets and Adriana. She would never let the Garcia family hurt Adriana again!

Adriana did not know what Neera was thinking. After a brief silence, she patted Neera's back gently. "Okay, I'll go back with you."

Neera breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Adriana.

At this time, Adriana looked at the Garcia family with indifference. She said nothing, but her expression was like needles, which stabbed Gladeon and Marnie's hearts.

Marnie turned livid. "Adriana, if you dare to leave, you won't be my daughter anymore! Don't call me Mom again!"

Adriana looked at Marnie's angry face and felt only disappointment. "From the moment you agreed to let Alfonso lock me up, you no longer treated me as your daughter. Don't pretend you care about me."

She took a deep breath and cut off the last trace of nostalgia in her heart. "The relationship between us ends here. From now on, take care of yourselves."

After saying that, she turned around numbly and walked out.

Neera's eyes filled with sullenness, and her disgust for the Garcia family rose to the extreme.

Neera did not want to talk nonsense with them. But seeing Adriana's disappointment, she could not help but say to the Garcia family, "Profits are more important than anything else in your eyes, right? In that case, I'll take away everything you value!"

She would never be merciful!

Upon saying that, she subconsciously pulled Jean and said, "Let's go!"

Jean's gaze fell on Neera's hand. Without saying anything, he stepped up to follow her.

He could tell that Neera was serious about it.

The previous tolerance of the Garcia family was for Adriana's sake. But the Garcia family's actions tonight irritated Neera!

Leaving the Garcia family, Jean suppressed his aura and could not help but feel interested in Neera.

He was curious and could not wait to see how Neera would deal with the Garcia family.

On the way back, Adriana temporarily came out of her low mood and thanked Jean gently.

"I heard what you said when protecting Neera at the Garcia Manor. Thank you. If you hadn't come, Neera would have gotten bullied, and I wouldn't have been able to leave so easily."

"You're welcome. It's only a trivial matter." Jean did not take it to heart.

As Adriana was in a bad mood, they stopped talking.

After arriving home, the triplets heard the car engine sound and hurried out. "Mommy! Grandaunt!"

Seeing Neera and Adriana were intact, they rushed forward and finally felt relieved. "You scared us to death! It's good you're fine..."

Then, they turned to look at Jean brightly. "Uncle Jean, thank you! We knew you could solve anything!"

Jean felt his heart soften. He touched their heads and smiled slightly. Before leaving, he said to Neera, "Have a good rest tonight."

Neera pursed her lips. "Hmm, you too."

...

At night, after taking a shower, Adriana wore her nightgown and drank red wine alone on the balcony of the living room.

Neera knew Adriana was in a bad mood, so she walked over and drank with Adriana silently.

In the quiet night, Adriana suddenly asked Neera, "Neera, have you ever thought of becoming a real couple with Jean?"
