The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 52

Neera was exhausted when she was home; she barely kicked off her shoes and laid on the sofa without changing her clothes. The triplets were used to seeing her like this. They were sensible; none of them came to her to ask for hugs and kisses; they exchanged looks and went to do whatever chores they could. Sammy went to pour a cup of water; Penny went to her and massaged her wrists and shoulders; and Harvey carried a tray with hot meals to her. "Mommy, I’ve made this for you. You must be tired after such a hectic operation. I’ve preheated the food, so you can come back to hot food. Please eat some and rest; if not, I’ll be sad."

She felt warm, seeing how sensible the triplets were. She took the cup from Sammy and took a sip of water. She then kissed the three of them before eating the food. After a while, she went upstairs to rest. She could barely open her eyes. The triplets looked at her going up, and they played quietly downstairs. After a while, Sammy and Penny were tired, and they slept on the sofa. Harvey smiled looking at them, and he went to get a blanket to cover the two of them.

He then gathered the pets and ordered them, "Let’s go out to play; everyone’s asleep now. You all can’t be noisy and wake them up." The pets seemed to understand his words and followed him to the yard.

It was a sunny and windy day, and the pets seemed to have endless energy to play and run with each other. Harvey let them be, and he carried a laptop and sat in a gazebo. He casually opened the apps to check on the stock market. His account was earning more than one billion dollars! He was satisfied to see it. Luckily, Mommy doesn’t understand the stock market; if she happens to see it, she will realize that we’re actually rich, and she can simply clear the one million dollar debt.

When he was deep in his thoughts, Cece and Ace were barking anxiously. He was worried that they would wake everyone up, so he trotted to them, and he only saw that the two of them were circling the lakeside. Somehow, Pixie dropped into the lake! He was shocked, and he yelled, "Pixie, where are you in the lake?"

Pixie was struggling and splashing the water in panic. No matter how hard it tried, it could not get near the land. It was barking helplessly. Harvey was worried, and he wanted to rescue Pixie, but he found out that the lake was so deep that he could not enter it. He was so worried that he almost cried, and he wanted to call for Neera to save Pixie.

Only Mommy can save Pixie now! If not, it will be dead.

He was running, and suddenly he heard a car engine sound next door. He stopped, and he exclaimed, "Daddy is back!"
