The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 956

Before long, almost everyone in the research center had left.

Neera preferred to stand at the main entrance, bidding everyone farewell. Afterwards, she turned to look at Luigi and Osbert.

“Alright, you two shouldn't keep standing here with me. Hurry back and get some rest.”

They had been a great help in these past few days. Hence, they barely got any rest just like her.

Osbert laughed heartily. “Neera, why are you still being so formal with us? Back when we were at Mr. Hanson's research center, didn't we always tackle problems together?”

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together.

“If you really feel guilty, there's an easy solution. Cook for me and prepare a feast!”

The moment food was mentioned, Eugene seemed to appear out of nowhere, eagerly chiming in.

“I think it's fair, Neera. I've come all the way to help you out. Shouldn't I get a share of it?”

Daisy also joined in the fun, exclaiming, “I want to join. I want to join!”

Seeing everyone else speaking up, Luigi felt a bit out of place for staying silent.

Besides, he really enjoyed the dishes that Neera made. Thus, he immediately chimed in, “Count me in too.”

Seeing the situation, Neera couldn't help but laugh, and agreed.

“No problem at all. It's just a meal, isn't it? No big deal! You all go home and rest first. Get a good sleep. Come over for dinner tonight. I'll prepare a table full of delicious food for you.”

Osbert fulfilled his wish and soon left with Luigi.

Eugene and Daisy were about to leave, but Neera stopped them.

“Hold on, Mr. Grey. You guys shouldn't leave. You've come such a long way, so it wouldn't be right to let you stay in a hotel. Why don't you come back with me and stay at my place instead?”

Eugene and Daisy didn't mind at all. “Sure, then we'll be in your care.”

Neera smiled and looked at Jean.

The latter then remembered that he hadn't changed his clothes yet, and promptly said, “I'll go change my clothes then.”

After a while, he emerged from the dressing room, walking back steadily.

It was only at this moment that Eugene and Daisy finally saw Jean's true face.

Before their eyes stood a man of extraordinary beauty, his features deep and striking. It was as if they were meticulously sculpted by divine hands. His face looked exquisite, flawless to the last detail. His tall and upright figure was of unparalleled grace.

What was even more valuable was his temperament and aura.

He was just standing there but one could feel an elegance that radiated from within, along with a powerful aura of someone who has long held a high position.

Even a simple white shirt he wore exuded an air of high-class sophistication.

After Daisy saw Jean, she was so captivated that she could hardly take her eyes off him. Excitedly, she grabbed Neera's hand and shook it forcefully.

“Your fiancé is incredibly handsome! I've never seen a man more attractive than him!”

Neera felt the pain of her grip, and pulled her hand away and bumped Daisy with her shoulder.

“Hey, control your expressions. You're not allowed to swoon over my man.”

Daisy huffed, “You're so bad. Is it even not okay that I take a look?”

Neera chuckled. “It's okay to look, but don't drool over him, understand?”

Daisy gave her a playful nudge. “I know he's yours. I'm just admiring, so there's definitely no inappropriate thoughts.”

Watching the interaction between the two ladies, and Neera's declaration of her claim, Jean couldn't help but smile.

Then, he formally greeted Eugene.

Eugene nodded, sizing him up from head to toe, seemingly satisfied.

This guy is indeed a standout, and doesn't seem like an ordinary person. He and Neera actually make quite a handsome couple.

In no time, the group set off back home, heading straight for Adriana's manor.

It had been several days since Adriana last saw Neera. She had been worried sick, completely devoid of energy.

Even though she heard Neera say that the potion had been developed, she still found it hard to be at ease without seeing her in person.

At this moment, she was very excited knowing that her dearly missed niece had finally returned. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and looked at her up and down.

“Neera, you're really back? Why so sudden? Are you feeling better now?”
