The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 791

The next day, Neera woke up and noticed Jean was still sleeping beside her. She was puzzled and wondered if she might be sleepwalking. But when she noticed that the room's layout and decor were familiar, she quickly dismissed that idea. If it wasn't me, then maybe Jean was sleepwalking?

While Neera pondered, Jean opened his eyes.

Seeing her dazed expression, Jean asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Neera blinked and blurted out, "Jean, do you have a habit of sleepwalking?"

Jean pretended to be troubled and teased her. "Well, maybe a bit. Can sleepwalking be cured?"

Taking it seriously, Neera sat up and asked, "Have you had this symptom before? How often do you sleepwalk? Have there been any incidents during your sleepwalking?" Neera quickly fired off several questions, brainstorming ways to help him.

It wasn't until she noticed the amusement in Jean's eyes that she realized she had been fooled.

"You sneaky! How dare you trick me! Neera exclaimed and playfully hit Jean.

Jean seized her hand and pulled her closer. He said, "How about a passionate kiss?

Neera pouted and said, "Trying to kiss me first thing in the morning after fooling me? Dream on!"

Jean let out a laugh and was about to give Neera a kiss.

Neera raised her hand in a hurry, blocking her mouth. She said, "Don’t. We haven’t brushed our teeth yet."

Jean paused and lightly bit Neera’s hand.

Neera fell silent upon seeing Jean’s action. Then she quickly snapped over, bit his lip, and ran off immediately.

Jean laughed for a moment from a distance before finally getting up.

In the morning, Neera headed out after breakfast as she had a client meeting.

Jean stayed home to care for some domestic matters and spend some time with the triplets.

Around ten o'clock, Ian returned.

Jean glanced at Ian and asked, "Any progress?"

Ian immediately reported, "We're still investigating. We alerted the Shadow Clan when we raided John’s place earlier. They had covered their tracks this time, and it will take more effort for us."

Ian continued to say, "Mr. Jean, should we bring Cloud in? He's the best at tracking."

Jean decisively closed his laptop and said, "There's no need for that. Let's find the Shadow Clan’s base and take some action. It won't cost us any effort if we force them to reveal themselves. Thora isn't worth sacrificing our people for."

Ian understood immediately and said, "So, you mean we should reveal our identity?" This matter could be resolved quickly by showing the identity that the Shadow Clan dared not to provoke.

Jean nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean." I did not care about Thora's fate; I just did this to spare Neera the worry. She had been exhausted recently, and I didn't want her to waste her energy on such a thing.

Ian nodded and said, "Understood. I'll get on it."

...

After finishing her work at the company, Neera took a break at noon to visit the hospital and check on Marie. Since waking up, Marie has been visibly worn out. She had always been worried about Thora and could not even sleep well.

When Neera arrived, she could feel that Marie was much weaker than in the past.

When Marie saw Neera, she grabbed Neera’s hand eagerly and asked, "Have you heard any news about Thora?"
