Chapter 212 How Are They So Energetic? It felt like an eternity for Neera, but finally, the haunted house tour came to an end. As they left, Jean’s meticulously tailored suit was now covered increases. Jean, however, didn’t mind at all. He glanced at Neera. Her complexion was somewhat pale. Her eyes were damp, giving the impression of recent tears. They were also red, invoking an unexpected sense of pity. “Are you okay?” An unknown feeling flickered in his eyes as he softly inquired. She shook her head. “I’m fine.” After calming down, she noticed the wrinkles on his clothes and immediately felt embarrassed. How did she manage to mess up his clothes this much? She couldn’t help but blush at the thought of how he had seen her in such a humiliating state. “Umm…” She cleared her throat and tried to sound more casual. She gestured at his clothes. “I’m sorry. I’ll get it washed and ironed when we get back.”
Jean didn’t mind at all and replied calmly, “It’s okay. You don’t have to trouble yourself with that.” Seeing that Neera had regained her composure, he turned his attention to the triplets and asked patiently, “Is there anything else you three want to do?” The three children, masking their excitement, eagerly listed a series of activities they wanted to do. Neera, however, was already drained. How was it that they had this much energy…? Fortunately, the remaining activities weren’t as terrifying. She had finally escaped from that ordeal. Before she knew it, the evening had arrived. The three little ones had played the entire day and were getting visibly tired. They were struggling to keep walking. Penny held her hands out toward Neera and softly said, “Mommy, I want to be carried!” Seeing that the little girl was fatigued, Neera lifted the girl into her arms and suggested, “It’s getting
dark, let’s head home” Neither Sammy nor Harvey were opposed to it. The boys were also tired. Knowing that Neera couldn’t possibly carry all three of them at once, they refrained from asking and walked slowly. Jean noticed the exhaustion on their faces and suddenly asked warmly, “Do you want to be carried?” Sammy looked up with bright, anticipatory eyes. “I can?” Jean bent down without answering and lifted them. He held them securely in his arms with one boy on each side. Both Sammy and Harvey were taken aback. They quickly wrapped their arms around the man’s shoulders. They were overflowing with joy. “Thank you, Uncle Jean!” Sammy couldn’t contain his excitement and kissed Jean on the cheek. Jean was momentarily stunned by the gesture before he broke into a smile. “You’re welcome,” he said in a gentle tone that sounded so unlike him. Neera was oddly moved by the scene but politely interjected, “Thank you, but carrying both of them might be tiring. Just one is alright.” Harvey also nodded in an uncharacteristically mature way. “Mommy’s right, Uncle Jean. You can take Sammy with you. I can walk by myself.” Jean, however, smiled and replied, “You two aren’t heavy. It’s fine.” He had no intention of setting the child down and continued walking steadily ahead. Neera observed him and decided not to intervene and followed along. The two children couldn’t have been happier. They were radiating with happiness. They chattered on endlessly with Jean while on the way. Some of their conversations sounded childish, yet for some reason, as Jean looked at their warm smiles, he felt a contagious joy overwhelming him. He even had a feeling that he would be willing to listen to whatever the two children had to say. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
The group soon arrived at the parking lot. Sammy and Harvey immediately spoke sweetly, “You can put us down now, Uncle Jean.” This time, Jean didn’t decline. They all got into the car.
