The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 109

Zuniga was persuaded by the triplets yesterday; she instantly voiced for them, "It’s true, Ms. Garcia. They were worried about you, but we couldn’t get through all the bodyguards. We stayed in the hotel, and the kids didn’t sleep well." She had always been trustworthy and honest, but she couldn't help feeling guilty for lying to Neera.

Neera felt something was off. However, the triplets spoke sincerely, and Zuniga backed them up; she couldn't notice what the odds were. Jean’s bodyguards were indeed tough to deal with; perhaps they were helpless to rescue me. She let this matter off the hook.

The triplets were relieved when Neera stopped questioning them. We succeeded! Mommy is too easy to deceive; she would never suspect us again.

Penny leaned on Neera and asked softly, "Mommy, you weren’t back yesterday night. Did you sleep in Uncle Jean’s room? The bathrobe you are wearing belongs to him, isn’t it? Is Uncle Jean going to be our daddy?"

Sammy asked excitedly, "Uncle Jean and Mommy are married now; he is definitely our daddy!"

Harvey said happily, "Great! Mommy, are we going to live with Daddy from now on?" It’s rare to see Harvey excited.

Neera choked on their words. Why are they calling him Daddy now? "He is not your daddy; don’t call him that."

The triplets were puzzled, "Why is that so? Aren’t you married to Uncle Jean?"

Neera was embarrassed to recall the outrageous wedding yesterday. She explained, "Although Jean and I did have a wedding, he is not your daddy. Stay with what you have been calling him, and we won’t live together. We were unwilling to marry each other; this marriage will end sooner or later."

The triplets were anxious. "How could it be? When an adult gets married, you form a family! You shouldn’t end it!"

Neera was amused, and she explained patiently. "It was a misunderstanding all along. He didn’t know I was his bride, and I had no idea he was my groom either. We agreed to keep this marriage, but we will end it when the time comes. Promise me, you guys won’t take it seriously. He is still your Uncle Jean." She caressed their heads and said, "Let me change into something comfortable. I will be back later." She went upstairs.

The excitement was turned off, and the triplets muttered in a circle.

Penny pouted, "What should we do now? I thought we succeeded!"

Harvey comforted them, saying, "Don’t worry. Anyway, their relationship has taken a big step forward. Although they are a fake couple now, who said they couldn’t be a real one in the future? Let’s put in more effort; surely it will come true one day!"

Sammy and Penny nodded in agreement. That’s the only thing they can do now.
