Jean looked at the triplet’s nervous expression and responded, “No, it was me who made her upset.”
“Hmm…” the triplets didn’t know what to say.
Jean didn't want them to worry. "Don't worry, I'll talk with her later when she's back."
The triplets came up with some ideas for Jean. “Uncle Jean, you can coax Mommy very easily. You can buy her some flowers. She will be very happy when she receives it.”
Jean eased up. “Good.”
While they were talking, Frederic and Wrenn were here to visit Jean again.
They heard that Jean was not feeling well and was absent from work.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw three kids talking and laughing with him.
They felt puzzled as they hadn’t expected that.
When the triplets saw them, they immediately greeted them politely.
"Hello Grandpa, Grandma."
Wrenn felt that they looked familiar and she remembered that she met them last time.
She was surprised, "It's you guys!"
The triplets nodded nervously. They remembered that Frederic and Wrenn didn’t like Neera.
It was Jean's turn to be surprised, "Mom, you've met them?"
Wrenn nodded. "They helped me when I fell last time. Whose kids are these? They are so well-behaved and cute!"
Jean didn't answer.
Frederic whispered, “They’re Neera’s children.”
Upon hearing this, Wrenn froze. Then, she frowned. “So…they’re…I knew it. This is not a coincidence. She arranged this for her children to approach me.”
Jean was upset. “Mom, don’t say that…” Saying such words in front of the children will hurt them.
Wrenn was angry. “Am I wrong? She used her children to gain my favor. I believed her when she said she was not interested in the Beauvort family. Now, she's letting her children come to your house! Her intentions are clear! Are you going to raise someone else’s child?”
The triplets frowned when they heard this. We are not someone else’s children…
Jean had the same thoughts as the triplets. “They're not someone else's children. Neera is my wife, they’re also my children. There's nothing wrong with them showing up at my place."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wrenn exploded. "What do you mean by they are your children? I won't recognize them as your children. How could the Beauvort family raise someone else’s children?”
“It’s useless for you to deny the truth. They’re my children no matter what.”
Wrenn shouted, “Jean!”
Jean was not bothered about it. “Mom, you’re my elder. You should know what to say and what you shouldn’t say. Don’t lose your composure over something like this.”
The triplets were happy and excited when they heard Jean's words.
Daddy loves us the most! We’re correct about him!
The atmosphere was tense. Ian quickly intervened. “Madam, sir hasn’t recovered yet. Please tolerate him. Don’t let him get emotional again. He almost got sick last night. It was not easy to suppress it!"

Meanwhile, Neera came back.
Her preparations for research and development were done. It was rare for her to end her work early.
She was going to go home, but Thora called out to her.
"I heard that you live in Imperial Gardens. It’s the most luxurious place in Kingsview. You should bring your guests to visit your house.”
Neera wanted to refuse but she paused.
She had been busy for the past few days and hadn't had time to communicate with Jean.
Although she didn’t have to explain anything about that day, she didn't like being misunderstood.
It would be better for her to bring them back to clear unnecessary misunderstandings.
She agreed to Thora’s request in the end.
