The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 767

The Queen Sophie Hotel was a well-known establishment in Essley.

A night here was at least a hundred thousand dollars. It was terribly pricey for an ordinary person.

Its sky garden restaurant was one that was famous globally.

As Neera headed up the stairs, she couldn’t stop wondering if the triplets had made a lot of money.

Otherwise, how would they afford to treat her to dinner here?

Ding!

The elevator doors opened as they reached the top floor.

The man then gestured to her politely. “We’re here, Ms. Garcia. Please enter, I will not follow you.”

Neera nodded her head and walked in.

She saw the environment inside the restaurant and started to wonder again.

There should be a lot of guests by this hour.

But there wasn’t a single person in sight!

Did the triplets book out the entire place for her?

Wasn’t that too much?

What kind of surprise did they have in store for her?

She walked in further as she wondered. There wasn’t even a single waiter in sight!

Then, she spotted a yellow candlelight on a table near the window.

The triplets must be there right?

She approached the table slowly, and said: “Harvey? Sammy? Penny? Where are you? Don’t hide now, Mommy’s here.”

No one responded.

She found it a bit hilarious, so she decided to look for a waiter.

Then, she heard slow footsteps coming in from another end of the restaurant.

The footsteps were slow and in rhythm. They were definitely not from a child.

Neera felt that something was up, she frowned and started to become alert.

But right when she turned around and looked, she was stunned.

She saw a familiar, recognizable silhouette, donned in a sleek suit, walking closer to her.

She thought that she had been so busy with work that she was hallucinating!

Or was it that she saw a mirage of him because she missed him too much?

But it wasn’t a hallucination, nor was it a mirage.

The man, with a gentle smile on his lips, walked closer to her step by step.

It wasn’t until she was held in his embrace and smelled the pleasant scent of his body that she widened her eyes in disbelief.

She then realized that the man in front of her wasn’t an illusion, but was actually there, holding her in his arms.

She could feel the warmth of his body, and his soft hands caressing her hair.

After a long while, she slowly said: “How… How are you even here?”

Jean’s bright and gentle voice sounded above her head.

“I missed you, so I came to find you.”

Neera felt bewildered.

She suddenly pushed him away and withdrew from his arms.

It was as though she wanted to confirm that it was his actual pretty face in front of her.

“Is it really you…?”

Jean lowered his gaze and looked at her face. “Yes, it’s me. I’m here.” He said with a grin.

His words shot through Neera’s heart like Cupid’s arrow.

She finally snapped out of her haze, and a wave of longing started to flood out.

She had always thought she could control herself well whenever she saw him.

But at that moment, with him in front of her eyes, she realized that she missed him so much that she was about to go mad!

She crashed into his embrace once again, her eyes swelling with tears.

“Why did you come here all of a sudden without even telling me first? And how did your body even bear such a long flight? Did you eat and sleep well on the way here? Did I tell you to take care of yourself well and not stress yourself out? Why do you always make me worry like this? Ian too, why didn’t he say something to get you to take care of yourself and let you do whatever you want…”

Jean hugged her tightly. His longing had finally paid off. His chest felt warm.

Listening to her nagging and complaining worryingly, his heart was about to melt.

“For you, I can bear with anything.”

He replied in a somewhat suppressed manner. But he couldn’t hold back any longer. He held Neera’s chin, lifted her face, and kissed her soft lips…
