The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 629

That night, all of the criticism directed at Neera on the Internet vanished.

Osbert stretched out as he exited the research room, a pleasant smile on his face.

"This is the outcome I want to see. It's quite satisfying!" said Osbert.

How can Neera, whom he most admires, put up with such unjustified accusations from others?

"I have to tell them all what a wonderful and perfect person Neera is! They are currently rendered speechless by the evidence.”

Neera was amused. She had a feeling it was they who had invited Mr. Hansen, who then stood up to speak on her behalf. She gave them each a sincere thank you as she turned to face them.

"Thank you for inviting Mr. Hansen to speak for me, Osbert, and Luigi. You have been of great assistance to me."

Osbert smiled as he stroked the back of his head.

He then continued, saying, "I knew I couldn't keep anything from Neera. You don't have to thank us. We simply informed Mr. Hansen of your situation. It was Mr. Hansen who provided the most assistance. "

"Yes, Mr. Hansen can't see you wronged," Luigi added firmly.

"Don't worry, I will talk to Mr. Hansen and thank him, and as for you two, I also want to thank you," Neera said with a smile. "I know you've been concerned about my situation for the last two days. It means a lot to me that you believe in me and constantly support me."

What she said made Osbert and Luigi feel a little shy.

"Neera, stop being so courteous. Even though we work at the same research center, I consider you to be my sister. It's fine if I do this for you."

Neera's brows relaxed a little. Isabel's call cut her off just as she was about to say something.

"Where are you, Neera? Are you off the job? asked Isabel.

The corners of Neera's lips curled in response to Isabel's upbeat voice.

"I don't have time to pick up your call if I'm still working," Neera said.

"That's accurate." Isabel nodded wholeheartedly, then exclaimed, "Then come back quickly. I'm at your house now, and the kids have all been picked up. I'll have dinner at your house tonight to celebrate your successful accomplishment in regaining your reputation. Mr. Beauvort is also here."

Neera grinned and said, "Okay."

She used the opportunity to invite Osbert and Luigi.

"Now that we have the opportunity, I just wanted to invite you two to dinner! It just so happened that dinner was ready at my house. Let's go!"

Osbert and Luigi agreed. Auntie Zuniga had an incredibly lavish meal ready when she arrived home.

After washing his hands, Osbert went around the dining room table. He felt hungry because of the delicious meal on the dining table.

"Why are you standing and staring at food?” Neera demanded. “Please sit down for dinner right away."

Everyone soon settled into their seats. Isabel was more animated than usual today since she was so delighted, and she raised a glass to everyone.

"Let's go! Let's toast Neera and enjoy a beverage together!”

Neera lifted a glass in appreciation of everyone and grinned imperturbably.

The atmosphere at this event was wonderful, and it was quite lively. Neera joined them for a couple of drinks and was joyful. By the time it was over, she had started to feel a little tipsy.

Jean was the only one at the table who didn't drink, aside from the triplets. The other three were long ago drunk and unconscious. Jean called Ian and told him to send the drunks back. Auntie Zuniga also took the triplets upstairs for a wash and nap.

The triplets chuckled as they walked away.

"Uncle Jean, Mommy will leave it to you; you must take care of her!” They spoke, then giggled and took off.

Only Neera and Jean remain downstairs. The man observed the kids flee. He could not help but chuckle.

He shook his head and asked softly, "Can you get up?" while looking down at Neera.

Neera responded slowly, merely saying "hmm" in a fog. She rose and stood up as a result, feeling a little lightheaded and shaky in her steps. Fortunately, Jean caught her, preventing her from falling.

Neera used the opportunity to embrace the man's neck. This was the first time she went out of her way to hug Jean. Jean was a little taken aback.

"What's the matter?” He asked softly while holding her body steady and cradling her in his arms.

Neera shook her head and gave him a drunken expression.

"I just want to say thank you. Although I know you don't want to hear it, I still want to thank you, Jean, for everything you have done for me, for spending so much time gathering proof and providing clarification, and I also want to say that it's wonderful to have you."

Jean's heart softened as he simply listened to her whispering his name. Not to mention, she spoke in such an attractive manner.

Jean grabbed her even tighter, pressing his forehead into her and uttering a low "En."

"If I did so well, are there any rewards? He gently inquired as he looked at her somewhat inebriated face.

Neera gave him a serious look before smiling and saying, "Yes."

She took the initiative to lean over and kiss him after speaking. Unable to resist, Jean soon returned the kiss. The two kissed inseparably under the beautiful crystal lights.
