âItâs great that you feel this way,â Adriana said with relief. âSeeing how close you two were, I always thought it was a shame. Now that youâve reconciled, I can finally relax.â
No sooner had she finished speaking than the triplets walking ahead suddenly turned around. Their eyes sparkled like stars, and their faces were filled with smiles brighter than sunshine.
âWe can finally breathe easy! Mommy, you and Daddy have made up at last. From now on, weâll be a complete family!â
Watching their excited behavior, Neera couldnât help but laugh, finding it incredibly heartwarming.
For the next two days, Neera chose to stay at home to recover. It was a good opportunity to spend time with her aunt and the children by taking walks in the surroundings.
The triplets were overjoyed that their father had been forgiven. While Neera was taking a bath, they took the opportunity to call Jean.
âDaddy, Daddy! Great news! We heard that Mommy has forgiven you! You two can be together again!
Are you happy to hear that?â
Listening to their voices chirping like larks, Jean couldnât help but chuckle.
âWhat do you mean, getting back together? Your mommy and I have never been apart. We just had a little disagreement, thatâs all.â
He corrected them first, then said, âYouâre a step behind with the news. I already knew.â
âHuh?â The triplets were surprised. âDid Mommy tell you?â
Jean responded with a hum, his tone carrying a hint of pride.
Sammy pursed his lips, letting out a sigh.
âDaddy, youâre so mischievous! How could you not tell us about such an important matter? We worry about you every day!â
Jean couldnât help but laugh, indulging them, âAlright, alright, itâs my fault. How about I make it up to you later, okay?â
With a snort, Sammy deliberately kept Jean in suspense.
âWe actually have some good news to share with you, but now, wellâ¦â
Jean raised an eyebrow. âWhatâs the good news?â
With a lift of his chin, Sammy coolly said, âIâm not telling you!â
Jean chuckled before calling out to Harvey.
However, Harvey could only give him a helpless look.
In the end, it was Penny who sided with him, snatching the phone with her chubby little hands. Her small face was practically glued to the screen, her beautiful big eyes sparkling.
âDaddy, Daddy, since they wonât tell you, I will. Itâs about Mr. Cox!â
Upon hearing her mention Avery, a flicker flashed across Jeanâs eyes. âAlright, Penny, tell me about it.â
èªæ°86%æ Penny said with a smile, âItâs not a big deal, we overheard Mommy and Auntie chatting about personal matters. When Mr. Cox was mentioned, Mommy made it clear that she doesnât like him at all and that she has no feelings for him. Sheâs just very grateful for his protection and care. She even said that she doesnât want to lose you!â
Upon hearing these words, Jean was initially taken aback. His eyes widened as he grinned from ear to ear. The joy he felt came from the bottom of his heart.
Even though he was well aware of Neeraâs feelings, hearing them at this moment still brought him immense satisfaction.
After a moment, the crux of the matter dawned upon him.
âArenât you guys on the island? How could you hear those words?â
Penny chuckled playfully while her eyes glistened.
âWe came with Auntie and Uncle to see Mommy!â
Taken aback, Jean sat up straight.
âAre you in Phison now?â
âYes, this place is so beautiful. The manor is massive, just like a castle! The best part is, we get to be with Mommy. Daddy, arenât you jealous? Ah, if only you could be here too, then our family would be reunitedâ¦â
A flicker of emotion ignited within Jeanâs heart. The thought of the children by Neeraâs side made him somewhat restless.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the mountain of files in front of him and immediately called Tiago.
âCome to the study right away. Hurry up.â
Tiago thought something serious had happened. He drove at breakneck speed, burning rubber along the way. Upon arriving, he dashed into the study room in a flash.
âWhatâs happened?â He panted, plopping down across the desk, and ran his fingers through his wind-
tousled hair.
With an expressionless face, Jean pushed a stack of documents in front of him.
âGet it done within the day.â
Tiago was rendered speechless.
He glanced at the documents, then at Jean before taking two deep breaths.
âYou called me here just to deal with office work?â
Jean replied indifferently, âAs the deputy lord, this is part of your duty.â
Tiago was on the verge of losing his temper as he irritably ran his fingers through his hair.
âIâm not trying to complain, but youâve kept me here for so long despite my playful nature. Iâve been eagerly waiting for your return, and now you wonât even let me rest? This is inhumane! I object to it!â
Jean was going through some documents as he casually replied, âThe latest Lotus supercar, a limited edition commemorative model where thereâs only one in the world, is already on its way here by ship.â
Whoosh!
Tiago nudged his chair forward. Without uttering another word, he dived straight into work.
After reviewing two reports, he glanced at the person across from him.
âYou seem to be in a hurry. Is something going on? Do you need to leave?â
Jean elegantly signed his own name, flashing a light smile.
âIâm going to see my wife.â
