The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 826

Jean knew. His father had a point.

The triplets were his offspring, and they had to acknowledge their roots and their grandparents, but now was not the time.

He softened his tone a little.

"My marriage with Neera ended less than a month ago. I haven't talked about it with the kids yet. I'll give what you said some thought, but it'll take a while. I need to have a serious discussion with them and let them come around to the idea gradually. I hope you can truly accept them."

He paused briefly after that.

His demeanor had softened significantly from before.

"I've got my own plans. Be patient and don't ruin my plans if you want to see your grandchildren. I'll make the arrangements for you all to meet."

Frederic was immediately enthralled by his promise and quickly agreed to play along.

"We'll do whatever you say. We're happy as long as we can see and talk to the kids."

Jean turned around after he hung up and saw the triplets standing nearby. All three of them were adoringly looking at him.

He approached them and looked at them thoughtfully.

Harvey seemed to sense something. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Jean pondered for a moment, thinking how intelligent and opinionated the children were. They had their own ideas. Therefore, he should consult them on this issue.

He told them straight up, "Your grandpa and grandma want to see you."

Sammy, taken aback, inquired, "Why would they want to see us all of a sudden?"

I remember that they didn't like us.

"They discovered that you are my children," Jean replied truthfully.

The triplets fell silent.

Sammy and Penny turned to face their older brother.

Harvey was cool and collected.

After some silence, he finally said, "Mommy had been bullied before. They despised her and treated her with contempt. We don't want to see them unless there's a good reason. Even though they are your parents, Mommy will always be number one in our eyes.

"We will go see them after mommy forgives them," he said after a brief pause. We don't want to upset Mommy."

His words echoed the feelings of his sibling.

Jean had predicted this.

He nodded thoughtfully after hearing him out and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see them after Mommy forgives them."

"You're not mad at us?" said Sammy, blinking his big eyes.

"How could I be mad at you?" Jean shook his head. "You're so well-mannered, sensible, and filial. I couldn't be happier. Besides, indeed, Grandpa and Grandma didn't do well in the past; they disappointed and hurt you. Understandably, you refuse to see them."

The triplets were overjoyed when they heard this.

"Daddy," Harvey said solemnly, "thank you for your understanding."

"I'm glad that you're on our side!" Penny exclaimed, jumping up and down.

The children would never have accepted their father if he had joined the grandparents in bullying their mother.

Jean laughed and stroked their little faces.

"Okay, let's put this aside and continue exploring the manor."

As a result, the matter was set aside for the time being.

Wrenn, back at the hotel, was less than thrilled with Frederic's account.

"How much longer do we have to wait?" she inquired.

"Be patient," Frederic advised, soothing her. "Everything must be done in stages. We must allow them time to adjust after the recent unpleasant event. Whatever happens, you need to stop making Neera's life difficult."

Wrenn held back his temper this time.

"I know..." she said, sighing.

Her phone rang while they were talking. It was Kyra's phone call.

"I happen to be working in Essley, Aunt Wrenn. I heard you and uncle are also here. I'd be happy to pay you two a visit. Is that all right?"

Wrenn agreed and set up a meeting with Kyra.
