The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel - Chapter 26

Ding dong! The crisp sound of the doorbell echoed within Jean's mansion. Jean had just come out of the study and was going to go downstairs for dinner. When he heard the doorbell, he ordered Chaucer, his butler, to open the door. A while later, Chaucer brought Neera, the three children, and the three puppies inside. The children greeted Jean enthusiastically. "Good evening, Mr. Handsome! Have you had dinner yet?" Jean was surprised to see them. He replied, "Good evening.

I haven't." He looked at the time on his wristwatch and said to Neera, "It's not the scheduled time for the consultation session though?" Last night, they had agreed that Neera would come over at nine o'clock every night. Neera pouted. I didn't want to come here so early anyway! Penny explained, "Mr. Handsome, we're here to see if you're feeling any better. Mommy also wants to give you the recipe for her medicinal soup. You should get your cook to make this soup every day.

You'll recover even more quickly that way!" "That's right! Mommy doesn't share her recipes with other people. We worked hard to convince her!" Sammy said smugly. Jean's heart softened when he heard that. Even though he had only known the children for a few days, he could not seem to put his guard up against them. Perhaps it was because they looked too innocent, and their concern for him was genuine. If this went on, he could not keep up his cold personality!

"Thank you for your concern," Jean gently patted their heads and looked at Neera. "Sorry to trouble you, Dr. Garcia." "It's no trouble at all," Neera said nonchalantly. "It's what I owe you. By the way, do you have a pen and paper? I'll write the recipe down for you." Jean nodded and told Ian to retrieve the stationery from the study. Ian quickly returned with what Neera wanted. Neera sat down next to the coffee table and started to write.

The triplets took the chance to look around their father's mansion. The layout was roughly the same as theirs, but the furnishings were more tasteful. Other than period furniture, the house was decorated with sculptures and various works of art. Harvey even noticed a genuine Hieronymus Bosch painting! Daddy… is wealthier than we all imagined! While the triplets were secretly admiring Jean's wealth, Neera finished writing on two pieces of paper.
