The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 959

The room was very quiet, with a warm and cozy atmosphere pervading all around.

Neera felt immensely comforted as she wrapped her arms around Jean's lean waist.

“Jean, thank you for staying by my side every step of the way these past few days...”

When they were alone, she shed her invincible armor, revealing the most genuine and tender side of her heart to him.

“At that time, my emotions were indeed affected. I was terrified. I feared that due to my lack of medical expertise, others might lose their lives. I was also scared that even a slight delay, a mere fraction of a second, could lead to a completely different outcome.

“I'm so grateful you're here. You're like my peace of mind. Just having you by my side makes me feel at ease and gives me strength even if you do nothing.”

She seldom spoke like this. Touched by her words, Jean leaned in and gently kissed her forehead.

“I understand it all. That's why I insisted on accompanying you. Besides worrying about you, I know that you must be scared too. I'm aware that I can't offer much help, so being there for you is the only thing I can do. How could I possibly be absent at such a crucial moment?”

Neera felt a warm sensation in her heart, and she couldn't help but let a smile creep onto her lips. Her eyes and eyebrows were filled with a wave of tender affection.

She opened her heart, pouring out her innermost thoughts like a cascade of water on the river.

“I feel that whenever you're by my side, I could turn the tables when facing any danger. Last time, I was nearly shot in the head by Midna. I was truly terrified then, fearing that I might never see you and the kids again, or be able to take care of my aunt.”

“You arrived just in time to save me! And this time, you managed to find the seven-hundred-year-old snowleaf, helping me out in such a big way. How are you so incredible? I really like you so much!”

This statement greatly pleased Jean, making him feel incredibly relaxed and satisfied.

He smiled contentedly, but his words suggested otherwise. “Is it enough to just say you like me? Isn't there a better way to show it?”

Neera chuckled lightly, gently pulling away from his embrace. Her bright eyes were intensely fixed on him.

“Of course, there are! Lots and lots of rewards for you! But let me brush my teeth first!”

With that, she quickly got up and dashed into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, she emerged, returning to the bed. Then, she hooked her arm around his neck, offering her lips to him.

Kiss, kiss, kiss!

She kissed him repeatedly on his lips.

“Have you had enough?” she asked, batting her eyelashes flirtatiously.

Jean's eyes darkened slightly. “How could that be possible.”

Having said that, he wrapped his arms around her, planting a passionate kiss on her lips. He indulged himself, rolling and sucking between her lips and teeth. He conquered her like he was laying siege to a city.

Unbeknownst to her, Neera found herself almost entirely leaning on him.

This pose was quite suggestive.

Neera could distinctly feel a man's most natural reaction somewhere.

Her ears were flushed red, yet she didn't want to make him uncomfortable.

With that, she playfully winked and softly took the initiative to say, “I'll help you.”

In the next moment, the man let out a stifled groan, unable to bear it any longer. Holding her close, he kissed her passionately, as if the world around them had faded into oblivion...

No one knew how much time had passed before the sounds of breathing in the room gradually ceased. Yet, the room remained filled with an air of ambiguity.

Neera went to the bathroom to wash her hands with a blushing face.

Jean tidied himself up and stood to straighten his clothes.

Neera came out and saw his wrinkled shirt, feeling a flush of heat on her face.

“You... you should go back to your room and change your clothes.”

Descending the stairs in such a manner would surely make others' imaginations to run wild.

Jean couldn't help but laugh, and readily, he said, “Good.”

Next, he took two steps forward, took her hand, and they left the room together.

While he went next door to change his clothes, Neera took the initiative to go downstairs first.

As soon as I arrived, I saw Daisy and Adriana looking over ambiguously.

“Are you awake?”

Adriana asked, her tone a bit strange.

Neera didn't quite understand, but responded, “Hmm.”

Adriana cleared her throat lightly. “I heard earlier that you're planning to showcase your culinary skills tonight. Seeing that you're still not up, I brought Daisy upstairs to wake you.”

As she spoke these words, a profound meaning shone through her gaze.

Neera then realized what had happened.

It must have been the commotion in the room just now that they heard. Her ears instantly burned, and she drank water in embarrassment, even choking on it.

Daisy laughed. “Why are you feeling shy? We're all adults here, but I just didn't expect...”

“Alright, alright, could you please keep quiet!”

Neera's hair stood on end in frustration. She quickly stood up and changed the subject. “I'm going to prepare a feast. You come with me to the kitchen and lend a hand. Don't just eat and do nothing!”
