The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 869

The triplets and Chad laughed at them.

“I’m not joking at all!” Neera said innocently while covering her forehead.

“Stop it!” Adriana pretended to glare at Neera and the triplets. “And you guys, don’t laugh!”

The triplets covered their mouths, but they couldn’t hide their laughter.

Adriana blushed and changed the subject.

“We’re talking about you now, don’t bring me into it. Chad decided after careful consideration. It was also because he thinks of you as his family. Don’t turn him down. No matter if we have children or not in the future, everything is yours sooner or later. Just accept the gift.”

Neera hesitated before agreeing.

She picked up her wine glass and gave Chad a toast.

“Uncle Chad, thank you for everything. I will not let you down.”

Chad smiled at her.

Jean didn’t comment anything about it but there was something on his mind.

It wasn't until after dinner that he mentioned it to Chad when they were playing chess together in the study.

“Mr. Gordon, I have no objections for Neera to inherit your business. But, is the contract marriage included?”

Chad was surprised.

“You’re quite well-informed, huh? I’m happy that you cared so much for Neera. Don’t worry, I won’t force her to go through the same thing as me. I will also make it clear to Avery’s side. But, I don’t have any rights to make any decision for him.”

Jean was unhappy about it. “Mr. Gordon, you’re giving me a lot of trouble.”

Chad smiled. “Are you afraid?”

“Afraid? Nothing can stop me and Neera from being together. I will get rid of anything and anyone that is in the way. Neera is mine.”

“Good. You didn’t disappoint me. You’re worthy of Neera.” Chad was satisfied.

Chad doted on Neera a lot. He wanted the best for her.

He thought that Avery was the right person for Neera but it seemed like Jean was not bad either.

I can’t wait to see what they’d do to get Neera.

Neera was unaware of their conversation when she entered the study.

Adriana came in later with fruits.

Neera affectionately hugged Adriana’s arm. “Aunt Adriana, I still think that it’s too much for Uncle Chad to hand over the family business to me. He did that because of his love for you. But, I felt burdened with it. I’m afraid that I’ll fail him…”

Adriana patted her shoulder and smiled.

“I know you will think too much about it. I didn’t want to force you on this matter, but I hope that you can accept it this time. I know you can take over the business. I’m getting older now. I don’t intend to have any children. We’ve planned to watch over you and the triplets for the rest of our lives. You guys are everything to us. Besides, when you have these, you won’t be looked down on by the Beauvort family. Jean is not an ordinary person, we don’t want you to be on the losing end.”

Neera was touched by Adriana’s words. “I’m the ungrateful one if I still refuse it. Thank you, Aunt Adriana.”

Neera changed the topic. “Since everything is settled now, you should get married after my birthday party!”

Adriana smiled. “He already proposed to me.”
