The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 583

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant.

Jean booked the place. The interior was exquisite.

Their table was surrounded by a quiet bamboo forest.

After the dishes were served, the triplets picked up the juice.

“Cheers to Uncle Jean and Mommy’s first day together! Congratulations to you, and us, for having a complete family!"

Neera got a little emotional. They had been looking forward to this day…

Neera and Jean looked at each other and smiled while they tossed their glasses.

This was Neera’s and the triplets’ happiest moment since they came back from abroad.

After dinner, Jean dropped Neera at the research center.

Neera waved goodbye. "You guys go back first, I'm going up."

"Uncle Jean, you have to take Mommy upstairs, right?"

Jean got out of the car and walked to Neera.

The triplets teased them. “You guys should hold hands!”

Neera turned around and looked at them. “That’s enough!”

The triplets quickly sat properly in the car.

Neera shook her head helplessly.

It took a few minutes for them to arrive at the entrance of the research center.

“We’ve reached. You can leave first,” Neera said.

“It won’t take long for me to send you upstairs.”

Neera couldn't help but laugh, "You don't have to take the kids seriously. They are just fooling around.”

"I’m serious with you.” Jean held Neera's hand and whispered, “Let’s go, girlfriend.”

Neera felt butterflies in her stomach. She was blushing madly.

How could I resist him?

When they reached, Jean let go of her hand. "What time do you get off work tonight?"

Neera thought for a moment, "I think it will be ten or eleven, depending on the progress of the work."

"Okay." Jean made a mental reminder.

Neera guessed what he was thinking, and quickly said, "Don't come to pick me up. I can go back by myself. It’s too late and you have to take care of your health. Okay?”

“Okay, okay.”

After saying her goodbyes, Neera entered her workplace.

Thora rolled her eyes when she saw Neera. What a show-off! Mr. Beauvort is just having a fling with you! Do you think you can go from rags to riches?



Neera went back late that night.

When she reached home, she was surprised to find Jean sitting on her couch waiting for her.

“You’re back. The kids are asleep. Are you hungry? I asked Zuniga to leave supper for you."

Jean put the laptop on the coffee table and got up.

Neera spaced out. This feeling is kind of amazing. It was the first time that someone other than the triplets had waited for me to come home.

She felt touched.

"Well, I’m a little hungry. Let’s eat together?"

Jean smiled and they went to the dining room.

They sat next to each other and the atmosphere was cozy as they ate.

Neera touched her stomach when she finished eating.

Jean laughed. “Come on, let’s go for a walk.”

“What time is it now? It’s going to be morning soon. People will think that we’re crazy.”

"You won't be able to sleep if you’re too full."

Neera looked at him suspiciously, "Honestly, is this your first relationship?”

“What?”

“You’re acting like an experienced boyfriend. You know how to flirt and you’re so caring!”

Jean was stunned. “I’m a quick learner!” He paused. “Besides, I’ve learned a lot more.”

Neera understood what he meant and she blushed.

She coughed lightly and changed the topic quickly.

“I’ll go back with you and take a look at your injury first. Are you still feeling uncomfortable for these two days?”

“I felt better.”

Neera nodded. His complexion is indeed better…

“You still have to take your medication.” Neera insisted.

“Alright.”

After arriving at Jean’s place, she applied medicine for him as usual. The bruise on his back had almost faded.

"It is much better. I guess it will be healed soon. Let’s have a full body checkup to confirm your current condition. Although you're much better, it could come back any time. It will be painful for you even with my help to suppress it. We have to prepare another treatment if it happens…”

Jean couldn't help but smile as he buttoned up.

“Why are you suddenly being proactive at treating me? Is it because I’m your boyfriend now?”

Neera admitted with a smile. “Of course. Our relationship now is closer than before. I’m that realistic.”

Jean was amused by her. "That’s great. I didn’t suffer any losses."

Neera yawned and she was ready to go back.

Before leaving, Jean suddenly pulled her onto his lap.
