The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 830

Neera was at a loss for words. Her heart melted, and she was deeply moved.

She sniffed and leaned into his arms.

Jean embraced her. When she didn't respond right away, he waited patiently. He kept her company quietly by resting his chin on her hair.

After a while, Neera said quietly, "They're your parents. I don't want to complicate things if at all possible. But back then, they compelled me to divorce you, putting your health in jeopardy. They still hurt you, even if they didn't intend to. That does not sit well with me."

She hadn't intended to pressure him to leave his family, and she didn't want him to.

The thing is, she just couldn't get over it emotionally.

Jean wrapped his arms tightly around her. His Adam's Apple bobbled, with complicated feelings spreading in his heart.

"I know. I know everything. It's been difficult for you. I'm to blame for always making you put up with things for me. I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you from here on out. You do not have to bear any psychological burden. Simply follow your heart and leave the rest to me."

Neera's eyes welled up with tears.

"Why are you so good to me?" she asked, her voice choking.

Jean smiled and sighed contentedly, "I'm not that great, but you're too wonderful for me to let go."

He had long ago decided that he would still marry this woman, even if the three kids weren't biologically his. She was the only one he desired in this life.

Downstairs, the two were deeply in love and were sharing a tender moment.

Upstairs, the triplets were leaning against the window sill in their bedroom upstairs.

They were ecstatic as they observed the scene below.

Sammy was so excited that he quickly took out his phone, zoomed in on the camera, and snapped photos of his parents being lovey-dovey.

"I'm sending this to Grandaunt to cheer her up!"

...

Adriana was on a small island for a vacation.

The photo popped up on her phone after she received a notification. She showed it to Chad right away.

"Look! Come over here and take a look! How adorable are these two?"

Chad had just finished peeling an orange for her. He handed it to her and encircled her with his arm.

He smiled approvingly as he looked at the phone screen, "Yes, they are a great match."

Adriana couldn't stop herself from punching him playfully in the chest.

"If you agree with this, why did you allow Avery to meet Neera?" she questioned. "What if he's dead set on making Neera his fiancée? Wouldn't you be the one to ruin their relationship? "

Chad's smile continued to linger on his face.

He held her hand in his palm.

"You have wronged me! I introduced Avery to Neera for professional reasons, not to match them. Besides, I had no idea he would be interested in Neera. You have raised your niece too well, making it difficult for others not to fall for her."

Adriana snorted and proudly lifted her chin.

"Of course, I trained her in everything," she reasoned, "but Neera is already excellent."

Then she became concerned once more.

"What should we do if Avery develops feelings for her and tries to woo her away from Jean? If something bad happens, it will be our fault!"

Chad, too, fell silent when he heard this.

About this… He didn't have an answer to her question.

...

After talking it over with Jean, Neera decided to avoid dealing with his parents for the time being.

Jean respected her decision and did not try to persuade her otherwise.

"I'll do what you want. We'll see them whenever you want. That's what I reassured them of, so it's all good."

Neera nodded and drew away from him.

"I'm fine now," she declared. "I still need to get some work done. I'm going to study while you should rest."

Jean couldn't help but feel bittersweet as he looked at her figure, which seemed far more relaxed.

She left without giving him a chance to show his affection after he calmed her down.

Ian and Cloud arrived not long after Neera had left.

The joy in Jean's eyes faded.

"Did you find out where Asher is?" he asked, his eyes sharpening.
