The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 855

This is unusual! My boss has always been dominant, and no one can rival him. However, this man is the only one who hasn't been suffocated by his momentum! As far as I can tell, there's more to this man than meets the eye. I can see why my boss is worried now.

While he was pondering, the pair abruptly averted their gaze.

Avery remained silent.

He turned indifferently and got into the car.

Irwin quickly drove the car away.

Jean was expressionless.

Ian, on the other hand, could detect the strong smell of gunpowder in the air. Mr. Beauvort's love rival doesn't appear to be easy to deal with, he thought.

Jean collected himself and walked into the villa.

When he came in, Neera was about to go upstairs.

The butler was nearby, gathering gift boxes.

"Mr. Beauvort, have you returned?" he asked when he saw Jean.

"What?" Neera inquired, perplexed. "Why are you back so quickly?"

Indifferently, Jean said, "Well, the meeting was over earlier and I have nothing else to do."

After that, he pretended to be unaware of everything.

"Did someone come?" he asked knowingly, looking at the tea cups on the coffee table.

"Yeah." Neera responded truthfully, "The visitor is the one I told you last time, it's Avery, Uncle Chad's friend. He heard about the accident and made a special trip to see me."

She recalled Jean being envious of Avery.

She chuckled and added, "But he's very polite. He didn't want to disturb my rest, so he left quickly."

Jean gave a nod. He could tell Neera had a favorable opinion of Avery. However, she only saw him as a friend.

Thinking about this helped him get over the bad mood caused by Avery.

He didn't press the matter, so Neera assumed he wasn't interested and moved on from the topic.

"You take care of your meeting so quickly."

Jean's expression remained unchanged. He answered firmly, "Yes!"

Ian grumbled to himself when he heard this.

Really? Didn't you feel bad when you said that? If I hadn't ended the meeting, everyone would still be stupidly waiting for you to come back.

Naturally, Jean was oblivious to Ian's thoughts. He raised his hand to check the time.

"Go ahead if you have something else to do," he said, pinching Neera's cheeks. We can have lunch together."

"Okay," Neera replied, smiling.

Neera then went to study.

In the meantime, the triplets dashed down the stairs.

"Daddy! Daddy! Come over here now!"

They dragged Jean to the pavilion outside, blinking and complaining.

"We saw everything!"

Jean laughed and asked, "What did you see?"

Sammy expressed himself solemnly with his hands on his waist.

"Of course I saw him! We had a feeling something wasn't right, so we crept around the corner of the stairs and peered. That man is attractive and well-spoken."

"Oh?" When he heard this, Jean raised his brows and asked, "So who is more attractive? Is it me or him?"

"It's gotta be you! But he's good-looking too," Sammy blurted out without thinking. "I think that man is a strong rival."

"That uncle is comparable with Daddy in terms of family background, ability, and appearance," Harvey added. "If he continues to make a move, it will be difficult for Daddy to deal with."

"Daddy, you have to win!" Penny pleaded worriedly.

"I can deal with him," Jean said, smiling at the kids. "It's all right! Your mom doesn't like him anyway."

Sammy declared solemnly, "That's true, but you still have to act quickly and take the initiative!"

Penny added in with her own adorable suggestion, "Yes, Daddy, you should propose on Mommy's birthday!"

"Don't worry, we're definitely on your side! You need to know that there is a crisis and act quickly!"

Jean thought it was hilarious, but he also agreed with their advice. He nodded firmly and laughed, saying, "Okay, I'll propose to her on her birthday."
