The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 108

Isn’t this Ms. Garcia? Why is she here? Ian was too stunned to speak; he asked, "Ms. Garcia! Why are you here? And... why are you wearing Mr. Beauvort’s bathrobe?"

Neera couldn’t go back in the wedding gown, so she decided to go home without changing into clothes. Her house was just a few steps away. She didn’t bother to explain, "Get him to answer your question; I need to go now. I will bring the bathrobe back to you after washing it. Bye!" She waved and left in a hurry.

Jean sent her off and said, "Ian, prepare a marriage agreement."

Ian was still shocked. "Aren't you supposed to marry Ms. Roxanne? Why is Ms. Garcia..."

Jean, "It’s complicated."

Ian, "..."

...

When Neera returned home, the triplets had woken up. They surrounded her and welcomed her happily, saying, "Mommy, you are back!"

Neera had lost contact with them since the night before yesterday; she finally calmed down, knowing nothing bad had happened to the kids. She said in a serious tone, "We must talk now!"

The triplets exchanged gazes; they knew this was coming. They followed Neera obediently to the sofa.

"Mommy, what’s the matter?" Harvey asked innocently.

Neera went straight to the point, "Did you guys know all along that the Uncle Jean next door is Mr. Beauvort? That explains why you guys are always encouraging me to treat his illness."

The triplets tensed up. Here we go! It’s time to test our acting skills!

As the eldest brother, Harvey admitted it without any hesitation. "Yes, we do. Sorry for keeping it from you, mommy, we just wanted to..."

"To what? You should have told me."

Sammy said pitifully, "Mommy, you never asked us before. We truly didn’t have the money to pay the bills in the past, right? Moreover, Uncle Jean always treated us with kindness. He invited us over for dinner when you were ill. We just can't stand the thought that his disease tormented him. Additionally, you and Uncle Jean had a rough start, and we were worried that you wouldn't treat him after learning his identity."

"Yes, we were wrong; please don’t be upset. Sorry, Mommy."

Neera was speechless at the speed with which they admitted their mistakes. She had to set this issue aside for the time being, though, because she didn't truly intend to scold them. She then continued asking, "I had sent a distress signal; why didn’t you guys come to rescue me? What tricks are you playing now?"

Penny quickly said, "Mommy, we did go to the hotel! But it was tightly guarded by bodyguards; we couldn’t get close to you at all. We later found out that the wedding is between you and Uncle Jean; we thought that he would protect you! So we gave up on rescuing you. Auntie Zuniga witnessed everything; she can prove my words are true!"
