The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 891

Jean curled his lips and deliberately teased her, as his mood became much better.

“Just a verbal apology? Nothing else?”

Neera chuckled and said. “There can be something else.”

Jean raised an eyebrow as he asked. “Oh? What could it be?”

Neera sat up, and put on a cunning face. She had some tricks up her sleeve.

“I can’t tell you. However, I can take you out on a romantic date tonight, to make up for the neglect I’ve given you the past few days.”

Jean couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, I’ll be looking forward to that, then.”

Later that day, the two of them sat in the study. One of them was busy with work, and the other was doing some research.

Even though they each had their own boring tasks to do, they didn’t find them boresome at all.

The air in the study was exceptionally sweet and warm.

As for the triplets, Chad and Adriana had already taken them for a day out.

In the evening, Neera put a lot of effort into dressing up. She had some light makeup, and donned on a pure, simple white dress.

In the dress, she looked like a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years-old.

For those who didn’t know her, it would be very hard for them to tell that she was already a mother of three.

Jean was waiting downstairs. Once she saw her walk down, he felt dazed for a moment.

Neera walked up to him with a gorgeous grin. “What are you thinking about?” She said as she waved her fair and tender hands in front of his eyes.

Jean snapped back into reality, and held her hand subconsciously. “I was wondering whose fiancée was so beautiful.” He replied with a smile.

Neera felt a certain kind of saccharine in her heart. She curled her fingers and drew little circles in her boyfriend’s palm.

“Your fiancée. It’s just the two of us tonight, of course I’ll dress up all nicely for you.”

Jean smiled. “Okay.”

Soon, the two of them left the house.

Jean thought that she was about to take him somewhere fancy. Little did he know, they were actually going to Chinatown.

Chinatown in Essley was particularly lively. They could see a lot of people from Kingsview there. It was bustling and full of smoke.

Neera walked with light footsteps and her hand in Jean’s. They looked just like an ordinary couple.

Ian, Zephyr and some other bodyguards were looking from afar. They were keeping their distance to not ruin the atmosphere for the lovebirds.

There were a lot of snacks on the street, their various aromas tempting any passerby.

Neera started to drool when she saw someone selling candy apples.

“Do you want some?” She asked as she dragged him over to the seller.

Jean took a glance at the snack, which was sold on sticks, and shook his head. “It’s alright, you can have them.”

Neera knew that he was not a big fan of sweets, so she only bought one.

The apples were big and red, and they were enveloped by a crystal clear sugar glaze. They looked enticing indeed.

But when Neera took a whole big bite, and tasted extreme sour instead.

She was about to frown and pucker from the acid taste when she glimpsed at the man beside her. She was going to tease him.

She then held the candy apples beside Jean’s mouth, and lied. “Take a bite, Jean! It’s so sweet and delicious!”

Jean didn’t want to eat it at first, but when he saw how she had already taken a big bite of the apple, he then felt quite intrigued.

So, under Neera’s expectant eyes, he naturally took a big bite of the apple too.

As he took a bite, the acidity of the sour apple went into his throat and made him pucker.

Neera couldn’t hold back from bursting into a laugh, her eyes turned into the shape of crescent moons.

“Ah! You lied! This candy apple is so damn sour!”

“When I was pregnant with the kids, I loved having sour food. So I came here every day, and asked the vendor which was the most sour snack here. I loved all the food here. So whenever I was feeling down, I would come here and eat everything. Then, all my worries would be gone.” She shared.

Jean’s eyes became soft as he listened to her share about her past experiences.

His gaze then swept across the street. He could imagine the scene of Neera when she was pregnant, eating away at all the street food that was sold here.

At first, he felt that it was too busy and crowded here.

But now, he let go of his annoyance, and became more willing to accompany his girlfriend to take a look at everything here.

Every time she couldn’t eat anymore, she would give it to Jean to finish them.

Jean had never tried these kinds of snacks before, and after being stuffed with them tonight, he didn’t only leave any crumbs, he was extremely satisfied.

This kind of feeling was as though he had traveled back in time with her to live in her past life. How could he be unhappy?

Lastly, the two of them walked into a rustic tea house.

“Their cakes and desserts are the best! But they could only provide one set to each table.”

“Really? I want to see how delicious they are then!”

Very soon, a waiter brought them the tea and cakes that they’ve ordered.

Jean was then fed a mouthful by Neera. After he tasted it, he started to give his critique. “It is indeed tasty! But why do I feel that it has some kind of medicinal, herbal taste?”

Neera then explained with a small laugh. “It’s not medicine! It’s actually a type of herbal flower that’s mixed in it. I really like this flavor, I’ve missed it so much.”

Jean then understood why they could only serve a set per table. “It looks like that it’s a very rare and precious herbal flower, then.”

Neera nodded. Every small bite gave her peak satisfaction.

Jean saw that the corner of her lips was tainted by cake crumbs. He pursed his lips, and helped her to wipe it off gently.

“How are you still eating like a little cat when you’re a grown woman…”
