The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 581

"Of course. It’s not that complicated. You cared about his actions. You will be happy when he cares for you and you will be sad when he neglects you. All of your emotions will be related to him too. Aren’t you feeling it now, Neera?”

Neera hung up the phone and she was dumbfounded.

Isabella’s words were looping in her mind.

This is how it feels to like someone. I like Jean…I wouldn’t think too much about it if I didn’t like him. Admit it, you’re in love with him.

Neera couldn’t sleep anymore after realizing her feelings for Jean. She had never thought that she would be attracted to someone.

Neera woke up late the next day.

She laughed at her dark circles when she looked at herself in the mirror.

After changing her clothes, she went downstairs to look for Zuniga. She was startled to see Jean sitting in the living room.

Neera was embarrassed when she thought about Jean’s confession. She asked softly, "What are you doing here?"

Jean looked up at her. “Zuniga dropped off the kids and breakfast is on the table."

“Have you eaten? Do you want to join me?” Neera took the initiative and asked.

“Sure.”

They ate quietly.

Jean didn’t mention anything about last night.

Neera was nervous at first but she calmed down.

Halfway through the meal, she looked up at him and said, "I've been thinking about it all night and I have an answer."

It was Jean's turn to get nervous. He didn't expect Neera to answer him so soon.

"So, what's your answer?" He forced himself to stay calm. His eyes were locked on her. It was rare for Jean to be so nervous.

Neera managed to see through his facade. She smiled and blushed.

“I agree with you”

Jean didn’t expect Neera to be so decisive.

He smiled. “You like me too?”

“Hmm.” Neera blushed harder.

Jean laughed softly. “Great, we’re officially a couple now.”

Neera couldn't help but look at him. She felt glad with her decision. I will never regret it. I’m happy when I’m with him.

After breakfast, Jean asked, "What's your schedule today?"

“I’m going to the research center. I might be late for the next few days."

“Do you have time for dinner?”

“Why?” Neera wondered, "Do you have something planned?"

"It's the first day of us being officially together. We should celebrate it and we have to announce it to the kids too."

Neera laughed. “You like to commemorate everything.”

"Ian said that we have to commemorate the first time of everything in a relationship. I don’t know much about that, but I can give you everything that I can.”

Neera blushed. Is this his first relationship? He knows so much about it.

"Okay, let's have dinner together then."

“Alright, later I'll pick up the kids first. Let's go, I'll drive you there."

Neera didn't want to trouble him but he already held her hand. Their fingers were interlocked.

Jean smiled. "I want to perform well on the first day. Don’t refuse me."

Neera couldn't stop smiling.
