The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 169

Being rejected by Neera, Levi felt regretful, but he also recognized that Neera tended to keep a distance from everyone, not just him.

In this case, my chances are still great…

He remained hopeful, knowing that working in the same company and holding high positions offered numerous opportunities to get closer to her gradually.

Not wanting to push the matter, Levi smiled wittily, accepted her response, and took his leave.

...

In the afternoon, Neera thoroughly reviewed the list provided by Levi, delving into each person's qualifications, popularity, and potential controversies. After careful consideration, she concluded that Kyra was indeed the better candidate. However, there was also a male star who seemed quite suitable.

Without making a final decision, she left work in the evening and handed the list of these two potential endorsers to Levi before going to pick up the triplets from kindergarten.

Once they were back home, the triplets immediately went to see Jean to check on his condition.

Neera appreciated their caring nature and followed along.

Compared to the previous day, Jean had improved significantly. Though his face was still pale, it was no longer as alarming as it was last night.

Last night, he seemed as fragile as a delicate vase that could shatter with the slightest touch.

"Uncle Jean! How are you feeling today?" the triplets asked.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"Are you still in pain?"

As soon as the triplets entered the door, they immediately swarmed around Jean, each asking a question, their innocent faces filled with concern.

Jean couldn't help but be touched by their sincerity and enthusiasm, and a warm feeling spread through his heart, putting him in a better mood.

He lovingly touched each of their heads and replied gently, "I'm feeling much better today, and the pain is gone."

Hearing his response, the triplets felt relieved.

Penny finally broke into a smile, "That's great, Uncle Jean! Remember to take your medicine on time so you can fully recover!"

As she spoke, she took out a small sachet from her pocket and held it out to him like a precious gift, saying, "Uncle Jean, this is for you!"

Jean was a bit surprised, "A sachet?"

"Yes!" Penny nodded, her smile radiant. "Mommy made this for me. It contains very precious medicinal herbs that can help with sleep. Place it by your bedside at night, and it will help you relax and sleep better!"

Jean appreciated the gesture but initially hesitated, "Since your mommy made it for you, you should keep it for yourself. I appreciate your kindness, but I couldn't possibly take it from you."

However, Penny insisted, "Uncle Jean, please accept it! You need it more than me right now, and besides, Mommy won't mind!"

She turned to Neera, her eyes shining with hope, "Right, Mommy?"

Neera could not help but smile at her daughter's persistence. Penny was quite obvious in her approach, having given the sachet and now seeking confirmation from her. She nodded in agreement.

With Neera's approval, the other two little ones also chimed in, urging Jean to accept it.

"Uncle Jean, Mommy agrees, so don't refuse."

"That's right, you must not be polite to us. We are now a family in name, and a sachet is nothing!"

Jean saw that their kindness was hard to resist, so after thanking them, he accepted the sachet. Taking a closer look, he noticed its exquisite sewing and a small delicately embroidered flower on it. It was evident that Neera's hands were very skillful. He had not expected her to have such talents!

When receiving a gift from others, it's always polite to express gratitude. So, he proposed, "To thank you, I'll invite you all to dinner tonight."

He looked at Neera with warmer eyes than before, "And also, thank you for your hard work last night."

Neera, unfazed, waved her hand casually, "It's part of the job."

After hearing this, the triplets wanted to hide their faces in embarrassment.

Mommy is so straightforward, why can't she just say, "I can't bear to see you suffer like this"?

If this goes on, will these two ever make any progress in their relationship?
