The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 741

Isabella's mind began to "buzz" when she saw the paternity report. She was taken aback.

"Where... where did you get this from?" She stammered as if she had been struck by lightning.

Jean became even more certain after witnessing her reaction.

"I found it in the triplets' room. You must be aware of this. Can you tell me what's going on?"

His hawk-like eyes locked onto her face, and his words came out clearly and sternly.

Isabella shivered from the neck down. She hadn't expected Jean to find out.

Why didn't the kids do a better job of concealing it? They got me into trouble!

She was certain that if she lied, this man would murder her. She mustered the courage to strike first.

"Yes, I carried out a paternity test for them, and you are their biological father. So what? What do you want to say?"

Jean was taken aback. Despite receiving the confirmation, he was still in disbelief.

"How is this possible?" he mused.

Isabella's bravery grew.

She laughed sarcastically and mocked, "How is it not possible? Don't you remember what you did a few years ago? Do you realize that you're responsible for disgracing Neera's name?"

Her rage grew as she recalled previous grievances.

"How come the triplets are so close to you? They were looking for their father! Why do you think they insisted on Neera rescuing you? It's because you're their biological father! If they don't, who knows if you'd be alive right now?"

Isabella's words had an aggressive and confrontational tone to them.

Jean remained silent. His expression indicated that he was in a trance.

In his mind, scenes from the past appeared one by one, like movie frames.

He had come to realize, somewhat belatedly, that not only were the triplets very affectionate towards him, but he himself also had an indescribable fondness and affection for them.

It turns out that their shared bloodline was the invisible thread that bound them together.

He initially thought the identification results were absurd and unbelievable. But now that the truth had been proven, he realized he could accept it with ease. On the contrary, he was overjoyed to learn the truth.

Their relationship may have begun chaotically, but fate was gracious in bringing them back into his life.

Outside, Ian, who had arrived later, stood motionless, his eyes almost popping out.

What was that I just heard? What kind of shocking revelation is this? How did my boss become a father, and to three children at that? What the hell is going on?

The truth shocked him, and he was at a loss for words.

Jean needed some time to process the information inside. He finally spoke after a long silence. "Ms. Lopez, thank you."

Isabella raised an eyebrow and looked at the man in front of her.

This guy appeared to have accepted the truth and did not appear to be resentful of it. Good, he's accountable!

Her resentment had dissipated slightly. Jean turned around to leave just as she was about to say something.

"Hey? Where are you going?" she was stunned and then exclaimed, attempting to stop him.

Jean paused for a moment but continued walking, saying quietly, "I'm going to Essley to find her."

Isabella frowned when she heard this. She was aware of Adriana's predicament; she knew Neera was away and too preoccupied to handle everything.

"Are you sure you want to bother her when she's already worried about her aunt?"

Jean hesitated at her words.

She persisted in talking him out of it. "You're not planning on spilling the beans when you see her, are you? My recommendation is that you abandon that thought."

Jean was taken aback. He frowned and turned to look at her.

"Why?"

Isabella crossed her arms, unimpressed.

"Mr. Beauvort, you seem smart. How did your mind become clouded and confused? Do you really need to know why? You may not have known how miserable Neera was as a result of her pregnancy, but you must have heard about it, right?

"She almost died when she gave birth. She considers herself extremely fortunate that both she and the children are now safe and sound. She had no knowledge of the situation or the man she had slept with.

"Neera has finally lived a peaceful life. Have you considered her feelings before bringing this up? Based on what I know about her, she will most likely cut ties with you right away!"

"What's more, the kids knew who you were, but after being back in the country for so long, they've never brought it up. Do you understand why? They want you and Neera to become inseparable before they reveal your blood relation. Don't let a moment of impulsiveness destroy their good intentions."

Jean furrowed his brows deeply when he heard this. He hadn't anticipated something like this happening back then.

His heart ached thinking about a young woman going through such a dangerous childbirth without him by her side.

However, hiding such a significant matter from her, wouldn't it be even worse if she found out later?

He found himself in a difficult situation. He considered telling the truth but was afraid of doing so.

Their marriage contract no longer existed. If she found out the truth and, in an outburst of anger, decided not to return, how could he keep her by his side?

Isabella clicked her tongue in annoyance as he hesitated.

"Why are you still hesitating? Just take my advice on this. I didn't want to help you at first, but seeing the children without a father is heartbreaking. That is why, despite my reservations, I agreed to their request."

She waved her hand dismissively and said, "Anyway, I've said my piece. Whatever course of action you decide to take, give it some serious thought.
