Chapter 1015

Chapter 1015 Being Spoiled Jean found himself coaxed by her charm and had no choice but to compromise, allowing her to have her way.

“You’re just taking advantage of the fact that I like you, knowing I can’t resist!”

“Hehe, this is what you call ‘being spoiled’,” Neera responded with a cheerful smile, bidding him farewell before heading into the research institute.

Once there, she immediately immersed herself in the busy work of drug development, dedicating herself entirely to the task.

She worked tirelessly throughout the day, not even taking a moment to rest except for a brief lunch break.

In the afternoon, Edward suddenly called, “Sorry to bother you, but Grandma is insisting on seeing you.

Is it convenient for you right now? If it’s okay, can I bring her over to Imperial Gardens now?”

Upon hearing this, Neera apologized, “I’m not at home right now, I’m sorry. Let’s do it another time. I’ll call you when I’m done with work.”

“I see…”

Edward said helplessly, “All right then, you go ahead with your work. Remember to rest.”

Neera had initially wanted to hang up but heard Mariah making a fuss on the other end.

“I want to see my baby girl, why won’t you let me…”

She furrowed her brow, recalling the last time Mariah had ventured out on her own, and couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

In the end, she simply changed her mind and gave them her address. “Forget it, it’s hard for you guys to appease Granny with all her fussing. I’m at the research institute now, just bring her here.”

Edward broke into a smile. “All right, I’ll send her over right away!”

Half an hour later, Edward arrived with Elmer and Mariah.

Katy helped with the reception, welcoming them in.

“Neera is working in the lab. It might take a while. Perhaps you could wait in the reception room?”

“Baby girl, where is my baby girl…”

Marnie was eager to see Neera as soon as she stepped in.

Upon seeing the situation, Edward gave Katy a polite smile and said, “Thank you, but that won’t be necessary. We’ll just wait outside Neera’s lab.”

Katy didn’t ask any further. She simply nodded and led them over.

The laboratory was made entirely of transparent glass. When the three of them arrived, they could clearly see Neera busy at work.

Mariah approached the glass door as she called out, “Baby girl, baby girl…”

you.

>Edward comforted, “Grandma, she’s working. Look, she’s busy right now, isn’t she? I didn’t lie to you.

disturb her for now, we can wait here.”

Let’s not Upon seeing Neera, Mariah nodded contentedly, no longer causing a fuss. She patiently waited outside, her gaze unwaveringly fixed on Neera’s figure.

They spent two long hours waiting before Neera eventually emerged.

She rubbed her tired neck and, as she turned around, noticed three people standing outside the glass door.

It was then that she recalled their planned visit.

“Why are you waiting here?”.

Neera removed her mask and lab coat and then walked out. “There are sofas in the reception room. It’s more comfortable to sit there.”

Edward chuckled. “It’s fine, I quite enjoy watching you bustling about.”

Neera apologized, “I’m sorry, I was so engrossed in an important experiment that I completely forgot.”

Just as Edward was about to tell her it was okay, Mariah stepped forward and took her hand. “Baby girl, are you tired? It must be hard, isn’t it?”

Neera smiled, gently gripping Mariah’s hand in return. “I’m fine, I’m not tired.’

At this moment, Edward spoke up again. “You left in such a hurry yesterday, and you didn’t look well. I didn’t get a chance to ask you, did something happen?”

Neera shook her head. “It’s nothing, just a friend who was in a bit of trouble, but it’s all sorted out now.”

Neera graciously led them to the reception room and personally served coffee to entertain her guests.

“Grandpa, this is top-grade coffee. Give it a taste and see how you like it. If it’s to your liking, I’ll get you a couple of boxes.”

Her casual use of the term “Grandpa” warmed Elmer’s heart.

However, true to his reputation for maintaining a proud and stern demeanor, he remained composed and didn’t show much emotion.

“The coffee is excellent, and your coffee-brewing skills are impressive,” he calmly complimented after savoring the coffee.

Then, he returned to the topic at hand. “Do you typically spend most of your time at the research center?”

“No, sometimes I also handle the affairs of the company.”

“Isn’t that very tiring?”

Elmer wasn’t too pleased with her working on both sides.

Neera chuckled. “It’s not tiring at all. I’m already used to it, this is nothing.”

The family engaged in conversation for a while, but then a colleague arrived to summon Neera, indicating an issue in research and development that required her attention.

The family engaged in conversation for a while, but then a colleague arrived to summon Neera, indicating an issue in research and development that required her attention.

Recognizing the situation, Elmer rose from his seat and stated, “You go ahead with your work. We can meet another day.”

At this, Mariah’s smile instantly faded, and she clung to Neera’s hand, clearly reluctant to see her go.

“Baby girl, can you come home tonight? I’ll be waiting for you at home.”

Neera hesitated for a moment and said apologetically, “I might have to work late these next few days, so I won’t be able to return home for a while.”

Mariah’s disappointment was clearly visible. It was as if she was a wronged child.

Neera quickly comforted, “If you miss me, just video call me. When I have some free time, I’ll come and join you for a meal.”

Mariah’s mood immediately brightened up again.

“All right, I’ll make your favorite dish for you. Baby girl, you must come back…”

After that, the three of them left.
