The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1265

After dinner, Neera finally had some free time. She strolled around the courtyard with Jean and the children.

Gazing at the bright moon hanging in the sky, Neera let out a long sigh of relief.

“Finally, I have some time to myself. I can finally rest. Meeting all those people for two days has made my head spin. Now, I can’t even remember a single face. It’s all a mess. I didn’t realize being the head of the family would be so troublesome…”

Jean held her hand, gently caressing the back of her hand with his fingertips, showing utmost tenderness.

“You seem busier than me now. Looks like I won’t need to work in the future. I can just rely on you to support the family.”

Neera felt guilty and apologized, “You’ve come all this way, and I haven’t been able to spend time with you these, past few days. I’m sorry for neglecting you and the kids.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Jean lightly pinched her cheek.

“Why apologize? Being able to stay by your side is enough for me. It’s normal for you to be busy given your high position and responsibilities. You don’t need to worry about me.”

Neera let go of his hand. “I overheard everything today. You were whispering with the kids on the stairs. They must be bored, right? They can only cling to you. Did they interrupt your work?”

“No. I took care of everything before I came. The rest will be handled by my subordinates, so I don’t need to worry. It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen the kids. I’d love nothing more than to spend more time with them.”

Neera sighed, thought for a moment, and said, “I’ll talk to Shane later. For the next few days, I won’t entertain those people and I’ll leave it to them. I’ll take you guys around instead.”

“Is that okay?”

“No worries. I’ve already made my presence known, and that’s all that matters. I’ll leave the rest to Shane. I’ll also ask him if there are any interesting places around that we could visit. We can bring the kids with us.”

Jean gave a faint smile. “All right.”

At that moment, the triplets suddenly popped out from behind, laughing excitedly without end.

“Yay! We can go out and have fun now!”

Neera was startled. “When did you guys get behind us? Weren’t you walking in front?”

Penny chuckled, pointing behind her. “There were little bugs over there just now. Harvey and Sammy took me to see them.”

Sammy’s eyes twinkled as he teased Neera, “Mommy, you were so busy talking to Daddy, only thinking about Daddy. You were not paying attention to us.”

Neera was so amused that she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and she playfully poked Sammy on the forehead.

“You quirky little boy.”

“You quirky little boy.”

With a playful grin, Sammy took her hand, his eyes filled with anticipation as he asked, “Mommy, can we go to the restaurant we visited last time tomorrow? The crabs there are so delicious!”

Penny hopped around excitedly, suggesting, “Mommy, is there an amusement park here? I really want to go…”

Neera had no choice but to agree to their requests one by one.

The next day, she kept her promise. After informing Shane, she happily set out with Jean and the three children for a day of fun.

The little ones were having the time of their lives, their excitement through the roof. They played while eating and drinking, not missing out on anything.

They even ran into Caleb at the restaurant.

“Mr. Medicina, what a coincidence” Neera greeted.

Caleb looked at the man beside her, his eyebrows slightly raised, yet he remained composed. He turned to Neera and smiled gracefully.

“Yes, indeed. I just happened to be at the Bartitsu Guild for some business, and I didn’t expect to run into you here. Ms. Garcia, I trust you’ve been well recently. How is your injury?”

“Appreciate your concern. I’m already better.”

“I heard you’ve been quite famous recently, becoming a person of great renown. Congratulations.”

-“Nah, to be honest, I owe it all to you. If you hadn’t given me the white flag, I wouldn’t have become a district

president, and the Gordon family wouldn’t be where it is today.”

Caleb was not overly concerned. “It doesn’t matter what the process is. What matters is the result. In the end, you are the one who has taken the seat as a district president. You are also the one who has become the ninth elder of the Bartitsu Guild. The honor belongs to you and the Gordon family. Everything else is insignificant.”

Neera could tell that he truly didn’t care. She thought that saying anything more would only make her seem overly sentimental, so she decided to drop the subject.

“By the way, Jean, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Medicina I mentioned, who has been of great help to me on Mount Cloud.”

Jean nodded lightly. “Hello. Thank you for taking care of my fiancée.”

The corner of Caleb’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

Neera did not notice anything amiss. She turned her head and said, “Mr. Medicina, where is Darcel? Didn’t he come with you?”
