Chapter 978 Far from You After dinner, when Neera noticed that her aunt had not returned home, she decided to give her a call.
Upon learning that her aunt was going to live there and about the changes in the two eldersâ attitudes, she felt a deep sense of melancholy. Actually, this might be for the best. They live there without worries, leisurely enjoying their twilight years. This can also be considered a blessing in disguise.
At that moment, she didnât say anything more and hung up the phone.
Jean fed her a cherry, then asked, âAunt Adriana isnât coming back?â
âYes. This is delicious.â
The cherries were sweet and juicy. After swallowing one, Neera picked up another, continuing to eat as she explained the situation to him.
Jean was quite satisfied with that outcome. âIn this way, there will be no more people from the Garcia family to bother you in the future. Thatâs good.â
Neera chuckled. âIsnât that the truth? By the way, are you going to the office tomorrow?â
Jean nodded. âItâs been a long time since Iâve been back. I really should go and show my face.â
Neera nodded. âThatâs perfect. I also need to go to SS-MY tomorrow, and afterward, I have to handle some follow-up matters at Garcia Group.â
âWhatâs your plan of action?â Jean asked.
Neera thought for a moment. âNow, Garcia Group has no value left, leaving only a pile of debts. Even if we put it up for sale, there might not be anyone willing to take it. So, the best solution is to end it directly and let Garcia Group completely disappear from Kingsview. In this way, it can also be considered as a closure for my mother.â Mother had put in so much effort during the inception of Garcia Group, but later, a betrayal in her marriage caused her to lose everything. Now, Alfonso is behind bars, Susan has lost her mind, and Roxanne is also dead. This can be considered as a consolation to Motherâs spirit in heaven.
Seeing her lost in thought, a hint of pity flashed in Jeanâs eyes. He gently wrapped his arms around her, patting her lightly. âAll right. Do as you wish. Go ahead and pursue what you want. If you need help, remember to speak up. Iâm here for you. I am your strongest support and your eternal haven.â
The hint of sadness in Neeraâs heart was instantly dispelled by his warmth.
She couldnât help but laugh. âOkay. I knowâ¦â
Later on, the two of them prepared to rest.
Neera hadnât seen the triplets all night, so she went to the bedroom to check on them.
She found them nestled in their beds, each holding a pet.
âWhy have you brought Cece and the others to bed? Are you planning to sleep while holding them?â
âYep!â The triplets nodded in unison. âWeâve longed for them so much, itâs almost unbearable. We finally got to see them today, so we want to sleep with them! They also want to accompany us to sleep, right?â
As if understanding the childrenâs words, Cece and Ace immediately let out a âwoofâ while Pixie happily burrowed into Pennyâs arms.
08:23 Thu, 26 Oct K >Neera was nonplussed.
After the triplets returned, they kept holding onto the dogs, refusing to let go. They had petted the dogs so much that a large pile of fur had been shed.
However, the triplets didnât care at all, refusing to let the dogs leave their bed no matter what.
Feeling helpless, Neera had no choice but to compromise and go along with them.
After coming out, she found Jean was still there, waiting in the hallway.
âArenât you going to sleep?â
âYes, but I havenât said goodnight to you yet.â Jean leaned in closer, planting a kiss on her lips. âAnd a goodnight kiss.â
With a sweet feeling in her heart, Neera gave him a gentle push.
âDonât you have to go to the office tomorrow? You should get some rest now.â
âOkay.â
With an effortless grace, Jean straightened up, turning to enter the guest room next to her bedroom.
Neera couldnât help but laugh, quickly stopping him, âWhat are you doing? Go home and sleep.â
Upon hearing her say that, Jean suddenly realized something and couldnât help but smile.
âIâve gotten used to living in Essley, but I donât want to go back. I donât want to be too far from you, so Iâm staying here. Thatâs okay, right?â
Neera chuckled. âMr. Beauvort, are you playing coy now?â
Jean raised an eyebrow. âYou can think that way. After all, I only act this way when Iâm with you.â
Neera had no choice but to give in âFine. Goodnight. Go to sleep quickly.â
Jean watched her cover her mouth to yawn. Then, she entered the bedroom. He smiled, turned around, and closed the door to the guest room.
He had just finished taking a shower and was drying his hair when he saw that the elders had called.
âNeera, have you returned to the country? Did Neera and the kids come back with you?â As soon as the call connected, Wrennâs excited voice came through.
In a soft voice, Jean responded, âYes.â
Wrenn immediately asked, âCan we see our dear grandson and granddaughter?â
The anticipation in her tone was quite evident.
Jean pursed his lips, refusing, âMom, didnât I say we should not bring this up for now? Neera is still unaware of this. Besides, we should respect the childrenâs wishes. If theyâre not willing, I donât want to force them.â
Upon hearing that, the two elders felt somewhat disheartened, their tones dropping significantly. âAll right, then. Letâs wait a bit longer. When theyâre ready, we can meet.â
Upon hearing that, the two elders felt somewhat disheartened, their tones dropping significantly. âAll right, then. Letâs wait a bit longer. When theyâre ready, we can meet.â
In the end, they didnât force anything.
After all that had happened, they understood that they couldnât force things anymore.
After all, it was they who had pushed away the children who wanted to get close to them.
They reckoned the children must be heartbroken, causing their relationship to become strained.
Therefore, no matter how they insisted, some things just wouldnât go their way.
That night, Wrenn suffered from insomnia.
Seeing his wife tossing and turning by his side, Frederic felt a pang of heartache and decided to come up with a solution.
âJean doesnât allow us to meet the children, but we can sneak out to see them.â
Wrennâs spirit was instantly uplifted, and she immediately sat up after hearing that. âThis idea is good.
As long as we keep it discreet and donât let them find out!â
