Neera was feeling uneasy when she was working today. What is this feeling? As if something bad was about to happen.
Osbert thought she was feeling unwell, and he advised, "Neera, you should take your leave today. We could handle the work.”
Neera hesitated, but she agreed in the end. It was true that she could not concentrate on the work; it was better for her to rest for the time being.
Jean worked from home today, and he was surprised when Neera was back. He said, "You came back early today. What's wrong?"
Neera replied lazily, "It's nothing. I was feeling tired, and my productivity was low."
Jean put away his laptop and touched her forehead.
Neera smiled and said, "I don't have a fever or feel unwell. Thank you for worrying.”
Jean said, "You shall rest now. I will wake you up before dinner.”
Neera shook her head and said, "I do not want to sleep now. I will go to bed early tonight instead. Let me stay with you now.” She put his laptop back into position and said, "Don't worry about me; you have a company to take care of.”
Jean looked at her for a few seconds. He moved the laptop away and patted his lap. He said, "Lie down.” Neera planned to say no, but she rested her head on his lap after seeing how serious Jean looked.
She found a comfortable position. Jean stroked her hair gently and said, "Why not take a nap? I will wake you up later.”
Neera laughed, "Your legs will be numb soon.”
Jean said softly, "It's nothing. Just give me a massage when you are awake.” He bent down and kissed her on the lips.
Neera turned red, but her heart felt at ease. She nodded and closed her eyes. She planned to take a nap, but she fell into a deep sleep.
In the evening, the triplets came home. They immediately ran to the next door when they realized Neera wasn't home.
Jean signaled for them to be quiet as soon as they entered the room. He pointed at the sleeping woman on his lap.
The triplets blinked their eyes and thought to themselves, How lovely!
They remained obedient. Sammy took Neera's phone and turned the camera on. He wanted to sneakily shoot photos and remember this scene forever.
Jean handed his phone over and said softly, "Use mine instead.”
The triplets laughed while covering their mouths. They took several photos and showed them off to Jean. A beautiful woman was seen in the picture lying on his lap. Her sweetly sleeping face caught the light of the setting sun outside the window. Jean felt soft looking at the picture, so he set it as his phone's wallpaper.
The triplets applauded him after witnessing what he did.
Neera woke up, and they rushed over.
"Mommy, you are finally awake!"
"Is it comfortable to sleep in Uncle Jean's arms?"
"We wanted to fall asleep in Uncle Jean's arms as well!".
They made fun of Neera. She puffed her cheeks and teased them back. "It's really cozy in Mommy's arms as well, so why don't you come to Mommy?" She tickled them as she spoke. The triplets laughed and tried to find a way to hide.
Jean couldn’t help but smile as he observed everything. As dinnertime approached, he said, "It’s time to wash your hands. Dinner is ready. We are serving your favorites tonight."
Penny cheered and requested, "Uncle Jean, can I have my favorite dessert tomorrow? I have been craving for it since two days ago.”
Jean patted her head and said, "You could have it today. It was ready and served on our table."
Penny was overjoyed; she held Jean’s hand and said, "Yeah! Uncle Jean is the best!”
...
The Garcia family in the hospital snapped just as Neera and the others were enjoying themselves. They could not see the news they were seeking.
Susan could only contact Zachary since she was unable to reach MQ Media Company. She asked, "Zach, what happened to the news we are awaiting? The media company is currently unavailable. Since you have a lot of friends, could you help us ask around?”
Zachary said, "The Beauvort Group had been constantly pressuring all the media, which prevented news from spreading. No one dares to do anything.”
Susan was irate and said, "What does the Beauvort Group want? Can’t I post the news if the media won’t?”
Zachary's eyes were filled with contempt for her stupidity. He said, "You are nobody and do not have a fan base. Your posting might not even be viewed by anyone. What can we accomplish from it?”
"What should I do? Is there no other way?” Susan was furious, but she refused to stop.
After giving it some thought, Zachary advised, "You may post the news directly through the official account of the Garcia Group."
