The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1246

After ending the call, the triplets gathered together, each lost in their thoughts. “I wonder when Mommy can come home.”

“And it’s hard to tell if she’s in danger over there,” Penny voiced her concern. “Mom’s complexion seems to have improved slightly, but she still doesn’t appear as healthy as she used to. She must be exhausted, and there’s a chance she’s injured. It’s like Mom; she’ll always share the good news with us but keeps the bad ones to herself, just because she doesn’t want us to worry.”

Sammy also chimed in, saying, “Yesterday, I managed to breach the firewall, access Phison’s network system, and found a forum post that mentioned Mommy taking over the district president title and becoming the ninth elder of the Bartitsu Guild. It seems like many people are unhappy about it. I’m not sure if Mommy will encounter any challenges in her new role.”

The more they thought about it, the more worried they became, to the point where they felt they could not sit idly and do nothing about it.

Penny immediately suggested, “Sammy, Harvey, shall we go find Mommy?”

Sammy’s eyes sparkled as he enthusiastically clapped his hands in agreement, “That’s a fantastic idea! If Mommy can’t come back, we can go to her!”

However, Harvey, who was more cautious than the rest, promptly highlighted the challenges they faced. “The security in Phison is stringent, and they have strict controls on who enters and exits. Since we’re outsiders to them, they probably won’t allow us in.”

Upon hearing this, both Sammy and Penny furrowed their brows. “What should we do then? Isn’t there any way to get in?”

After contemplating for a moment, Harvey quickly came up with another idea. “We’ll need someone from Phison to take us in. How about Granduncle? We could ask him to take us in.”

“You’re right! That’s a great idea!” The triplets swiftly reached a consensus. They were eager to get in touch with Adriana.

Meanwhile, over at Phison, Neera could not help but think of Jean after ending the call with the children.

Her yearning for him swelled like an uncontrollable tide, stirring a maelstrom of emotions within her.

She could not even remember how much time had passed since their last meeting.

The ongoing delays due to the matters at hand seemed to make her return and their reunion increasingly elusive.

After much hesitation, she decided to call him.

Before long, a man picked up the call. His tender voice came through. “What’s up? Missing me already?”

Under usual circumstances, Neera might have huffed with a touch of arrogance and given a deliberate comeback, but her profound longing softened her response to a gentle tone.

Without a second thought, she softly hummed in agreement, murmuring, “I miss you. I miss you so much.”

Noticing her low spirits, Jean was taken aback for a moment. He coaxed her, asking, “You’re being exceptionally nice today. Has something happened? Tell me more.”

Neeka paused for a moment before saying softly, “Promise me you won’t get angry at what I’m about to say.”

Neera paused for a moment before saying softly, “Promise me you won’t get angry at what I’m about to say.”

With a slight lift of his eyebrows, Jean asked, “Do you think I’m that petty?”

Neera pouted playfully, her voice soft and sweet as she said, “Oh, come on. Just promise me first!”

Jean’s heart immediately softened, and he yielded, agreeing to do everything as she wished. “Okay, I promise I won’t get upset. You can tell me now.”

Neera hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “I-I can’t return to the country for now. I’ll have to postpone our meeting.”

Jean initially thought it was something serious. Upon hearing this, he suddenly felt like letting out a chuckle. “And here I was thinking it was something serious. So, is that what it was about? Why would I be upset when you have important things to deal with over there? Don’t worry, just focus on your work.”

Neera heaved a sigh of relief, but she remained moody.

“I’ve been thinking, it’s been quite a while since we last saw each other, hasn’t it? My original plan was to come back as soon as I completed my work, but another issue has cropped up involving the Gordon family, and I can’t leave just yet. I really want to return, to be with the kids, to visit my Granddad, Granny, Aunt Adriana, and Uncle Chad. And I want to see you. But it looks like I have to put our meeting on hold.”

Then, she pouted with a hint of discontent and responded, “We’ve been separated for such a long time. Don’t you feel anything? It’s as though you don’t care that we’re so far apart.”

With love in the air, she was unwittingly revealing more of her feminine side.

Jean was delighted to hear her speak in such an intimate manner, knowing that these words were reserved solely for him.

At that moment, he chuckled softly, his voice resonating like the low hum of a cello, quite captivating. “How could I possibly not care? Do I need to express how much I miss you? Besides, I’ve told you before that all you need to do is take care of yourself. Don’t worry about anything else. I’ll come to see you.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Neera expressed her concern. “I’m currently in Phison, where they have strict entry regulations. It won’t be easy for you to come here. Besides, the journey would be quite long and tiring, and given your recovery, it’s not advisable to exert yourself. You should just stay at home and await my return.”

Jean smiled faintly. “I have my ways. Besides, my health has improved significantly. All you need to do is wait patiently for me to come see you.”

Neera recognized his considerable influence and resourcefulness, but the regulations in Phison were distinct from those in the outside world. She had doubts about whether his usual methods would be effective in this context.

Nevertheless, with his reassurance, she opted not to deflate his enthusiasm. Her heart brimmed with anticipation.
