The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 985

In the afternoon, Neera and Isabella took the triplets to the most renowned amusement park in Kingsview.

Zephyr and Cloud followed in secret, paying close attention to the happenings around them.

During this time, Zephyr noticed that some people seemed to be following them from a distance. His brows furrowed, and he immediately went on alert.

He subtly scanned his surroundings and immediately locked onto his targets. His eyes darkened. Without a moment's hesitation, he whirled around to go and apprehend the culprits.

“Wait! Don't go there!” Upon noticing his movements, Cloud hurriedly stopped him from doing so.

“What are you doing?” Zephyr looked at him suspiciously.

“There's no need to bother about them. They are family and mean no harm to Mrs. Beauvort,” Cloud said.

With a puzzled look, Zephyr asked further, “What do you mean by family? Can you clarify what's going on?”

Seeing Neera and the others get on the carousel, Cloud touched his nose and awkwardly explained briefly, “Well, they are my employer's parents.”

Upon hearing that, Zephyr was even more confused. “In that case, why do they still have to sneak around?”

Cloud felt that it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to divulge any more details about the matter.

But considering Zephyr's nature, the man would never give up unless he clarified things.

After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to explain the ins and outs of it selectively.

“Back then, my employer's parents were against Mrs. Beauvort being with Mr. Beauvort, which led to Mrs. Beauvort not being too fond of them and reluctant to see them now. However, they have always wanted to meet their future grandchildren. Left with no choice, they could only secretly come over and watch from a distance. This is a family matter between Mr. and Mrs. Beauvort, so it's best if you don't interfere. Anyway, I can assure you that they would never harm Mrs. Beauvort, let alone Mr. Harvey, Mr. Sammy, and Ms. Penny.”

Hearing that, Zephyr felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He again swept his gaze over the two individuals wearing hats and sunglasses, their faces obscured by masks. A flicker of frustration furrowed his brow, but he had no choice but to let things go.

A near distance away, Frederic and Wrenn had a camera in hand while in disguise, pretending to snap pictures of the scenery when they were secretly photographing the triplets in reality.

They had only been following the triplets for a short while. Yet, there were already hundreds of photos in the camera.

Watching their grandchildren wreathed in smiles, they also seemed to be infected by the joy, grinning from ear to ear.

“They are so adorable, their smiles truly delightful. They are indeed descendants of the Beauvort family, each so outstanding.”

When Frederic said that, his tone was filled with immense pride.

“Yeah, just look at their expressions. They're exactly like Jean when he was a kid. Dear, we must have been blind not to see it in the past!”

“Ah, let's not dwell on that anymore. Fortunately, we didn't make the same mistake twice. We still have a chance to acknowledge them.”

They became increasingly addicted to taking photos, wanting nothing more than to capture and treasure every single expression of the triplets.

However, the inability to have close contact with them remained a lingering regret.

Sometime later, Neera and Isabella took the children to ride the roller coaster.

Wrenn was quite worried and couldn't help but mutter, “This looks so dangerous. Could it be unsafe? Neera is just too daring.”

Seeing that she was starting to fret again, Frederic coaxed her smilingly, “Oh gosh, you're always worrying over nothing. How could a mother not worry about her own child? Besides, that's an activity meant for young people. It must have passed safety checks before they allow people to ride on it. Don't worry. Everything will be fine.”

Despite his reassurance, Wrenn was still worried, fearful that her precious grandchildren might be injured.

Fortunately, the roller coaster stopped about ten minutes later, and they all alighted from the ride.

After affirming that everything was fine, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Neera was completely unaware that she was being followed.

On the contrary, the triplets were rather sensitive. They couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was watching them from behind.

Harvey, in particular, kept looking back frequently, his eyes scanning the crowd for something or other.

Sammy noticed it and moved closer to his brother, asking, “Do you also feel like someone is following us, Harvey?”

Harvey nodded. “Yes. I want to go and see what's going on. Please cover for me later.”

With all the solemnity in the world, Sammy gave a dip of his head. “Okay.”

The two brothers came to a consensus and waited for the right moment.

A little over an hour later, everyone was somewhat tired. Finding a table and chairs under the shade, they sat down for a rest.

Isabella spotted a small food stall a stone's throw away and said, “You guys wait here. I'll go buy some water and ice cream.”

Neera nodded and stayed to accompany the triplets.

At that precise moment, Harvey suddenly uttered, “I want to go to the restroom, Mommy.”

Since the restroom was just nearby, she didn't accompany him. “All right, go ahead. I will wait for you here.”

Harvey nodded, then turned around and walked away.

Originally, Neera's gaze was fixed on him. But then, Sammy appeared and blocked her view. He started talking to her and deliberately pointed in the opposite direction.

“Mommy, let's we go over there next. We'll ride the pirate ship, okay?”

Seizing the opportunity, Harvey took advantage of Neera's momentary distraction to make a turn by the restroom and slip away.
