The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 577

By the time they arrived, Zuniga had prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Thora looked around from the moment she entered. She was jealous of Neera.

“No wonder you gave up research and went into business. Money is indeed tempting.”

Neera didn't bother to argue with her. She acted like she didn’t hear Thora.

Osbert liked Neera’s place from the bottom of his heart. “Neera, your place is wonderful! The interior design is my style. The courtyard is the same as the luxury houses that were shown on TV. I like the pond too!”

Luigi made a few subtle compliments too.

Neera smiled as they entered. "Make yourselves at home."

Seeing that the triplets weren't home, she turned to Zuniga, "Where are the kids?"

Zuniga answered while she was setting up the dining table, "They went next door. I’ll go and get them.”

Neera gets up, "I’ll go."

When Neera arrived, she was just in time to hear Wrenn talking bad about her.

"You claim that she's your wife, but what about her? Has she ever thought of you as her husband? She said she’d treat you but she wasn’t home the whole day. She doesn't care about you!”

Jean didn't want to argue with Wrenn. He was suppressing his temper. "Neera had her things to do. She has been doing every treatment on time. There’s no need for her to be around me twenty-four hours a day. And that doesn't mean she doesn’t care for me."

Wrenn was upset that Jean defended Neera.

Neera walked in without knocking.

The triplets saw her and immediately ran to her.

"Mommy, you're back."

“Yes, I’m back.”

Neera ignored Frederic and Wrenn and walked toward Jean.

"Not feeling well again?" She acted like they weren’t in the middle of a dispute.

Jean had been looking at her from the moment she came in.

“I’m fine.”

Neera didn't believe him and grabbed his wrist to check his pulse.

"You’re fine."

Neera then looked at Frederic and Wrenn. “I’ve already given Jean his medicine and treated him. I’ve done everything that should be done.”

Wrenn frowned and snapped when she remembered the photo.

“You’ve done everything that should be done, but what about the things that shouldn’t be done? Since we’re all here, let’s be open and honest today. We’ll talk about you and Jean!"

"Mom, stop it! I believe in Neera. Stop messing around.”

Wrenn huffed. "I'm not messing around! You can’t speak for me! There are some things that I have to ask her!”

Neera was calm. "You can ask anything you want.”

"Fine, then I'll be blunt!" Wrenn looked at Neera with displeasure. "Although Jean has to rely on you for his treatment now. It doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want! What can you explain about this photo?”

Wrenn took out her phone and held it in front of Neera.

"You are still Jean's wife, but you went to a hotel with other men? Have you ever thought of Jean? Have you ever thought of the reputation of the Beauvort family? In the beginning, we agreed not to pursue your past, and you promised that you would listen to us. Are you breaking your promise now?”

Neera was slightly taken aback by the photo.

That night, she had already heard it from Ian.

She didn't expect that a photo like this would exist.

She looked at Wrenn after looking at the photo. “What does this photo mean?” Neera spoke calmly.

Wrenn frowned when she saw that Neera didn’t panic. “Couldn’t you tell from it? Do you need to have controversial photos taken before you’ll admit it?”

"This can only show that I've been to the hotel. It doesn’t show whether I've done anything wrong to Jean. And it doesn’t show something happened between me and the person in the photo, right? If you are making up a bunch of stories just because of a photo, you’re quite stupid.”
