Chapter 316 You’re a Good Girl
Upon seeing this, Jean’s heart inexplicably softened, making it impossible for him to decline.
“Alright, but before you go to bed, Penny, you need to take a shower. Let the maid help you with that, okay?”
Penny smiled gently as she responded in a sweet tone, “Okay!”
After over an hour, the four of them finished showering and returned to the room together.
This marked the first instance, following Neera, that Jean allowed someone to occupy his bed.
When gauged in this manner, Neera would prefer this sort of treatment for the four of them.
The triplets had eagerly waited for this moment, and thus they climbed onto the soft, expansive bed, settling down in a neat row.
Sammy let out a sigh, “Uncle Jean’s bed is so soft and cozy! It even carries a faint fragrance, it’s the same scent as Uncle Jean. It’s delightful!”
Jean was amused, tucking them in under the covers before lying down himself.
“It’s getting late. Time for bed. I’ll turn off the lights. You won’t be scared, right?”
Aware that the three children were still quite young and in an unfamiliar environment, he had no intention of turning off the lights completely, fearing it might make them anxious.
The triplets shook their heads in unison. “Nope.”
However, shortly after the lights were turned off, Jean felt Penny gently snuggling against him.
The same was true for Sammy and Harvey.
All of them squeezed closer, trying to get closer to him.
Jean could not help but wonder… Didn’t they say they weren’t afraid of the dark?
Just as he was about to ask, Penny murmured, “I feel safe when I’m with Uncle Jean.”
Jean smiled, let go of the question, and drifted into slumber.
During this interval, Penny’s tender form inched closer, her small hands clutching the cuffs of his pajamas, and she nestled her head upon her arms before falling asleep obediently.
Though Jean sensed her movement, he kept his eyes closed.
As the rhythm of their breathing gradually evened out, he finally opened his eyelids.
However, in the dead of night, Jean heard faint sobs.
