The men’s ring displayed an exquisite design, its aesthetic elevated by the inclusion of white diamonds. delicately set into the band. On Jean’s slender fingers, the ring’s allure was further accentuated, creating an aesthetically pleasing sight.
Sensing Neera’s gaze, Jean asked, “What are you looking at?”
Neera did not shy away, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
“Nothing much, I’m just curious. How many women want to marry you, compelling you to wear a wedding ring to stop them from pursuing you?”
Jean replied nonchalantly, “Not too many, I’m just wearing it to prevent any unnecessary complications.”
Listening nearby, lan could not help but sigh internally.
Mr. Beauvort truly is such a modest man.
Not too many?
A hundred and eighty women isn’t exactly a small number, is it?
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Residence, the trio along with Katy had returned home.
As they entered, the three children made a beeline for their mother’s bedroom, aiming to rouse her for dinner.
However, Neera was nowhere to be found.
Concerned, Harvey called out, “Mommy, weren’t you resting at home? Why can’t we find you? Did you go out to do some errands?”
Hearing the little one’s soft, endearing voice over the phone, a tender expression graced Neera’s face.
“Mommy is having dinner at Uncle Jean’s place next door. I didn’t go out. Don’t worry.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Upon hearing Neera’s explanation, Sammy and Penny could not help but exchange surprised glances. The realization that their mother was having dinner with their father left them slightly taken aback.
Mommy and Daddy having dinner together? This is signific
progress!
Sammy chimed in with an enthusiastic smile, “Mommy, you and Uncle Jean can take your time with dinner. Enjoy the delicious food that Uncle Jean’s chef prepares. Don’t rush back!”
Neera caught the undertone of their words, finding their eagerness to prolong her stay amusing.
After bidding goodbye to the triplets, Neera hung up the phone, a slight chuckle escaping her lips.
The triplets wore excited expressions as they ended the call, a sense of accomplishment evident in their demeanor.
Observing this interaction, Katy could not help but feel intrigued. “Who is this Uncle Jean you mentioned?”
Seizing the opportunity, the triplets eagerly beckoned her to sit on the sofa, launching into an
introduction.

Sat,
Katy was left astounded by the revelation that Neera was married. What truly baffled her, however, was the assertion from the triplets that the man in question was their biological father.
“How do you know? Are you sure? You can’t joke about something like this!” Katy exclaimed in disbelief.
Sammy nodded adamantly, his conviction unwavering. “We’re positive! We looked into it before we came back. We’re 100 percent sure that he’s our real father.”
Katy’s bewilderment lingered as she inquired cautiously, “Does your mommy… know about this?”
Recalling Nancy’s previous concerns about her reputation being tarnished, Katy had reservations about the triplets revealing such sensitive information.
The three children synchronized their head shakes, emphasizing, “Mommy doesn’t know yet. We’ve decided not to tell her for now… We hope they can have a connection soon. Aunt Katy, please help us keep this secret, pretty please!”
Caught between conflicting emotions, Katy grappled with whether or not to comply.
Sensing her hesitation, the triplets clasped her hand and employed their most persuasive tactics, “Aunt Katy, you’re so kind–hearted and understanding. You’ll surely support us, right? We want to play matchmaker for Mommy and Daddy, so they can fall in love for real. You haven’t met our daddy yet, he’s handsome and treats us so well. He’s a perfect fit for Mommy. So, please, keep this secret tucked away for now, and when the time is right, stand by us. Would you?”
Katy could not resist the triplets‘ playful appeals.
After enduring their begging for a while, her resolve wavered, and she reluctantly gave in to their request.
Overwhelmed with satisfaction, the triplets praised, “Aunt Katy, we knew you’d be the best… We love you!”
Following dinner, Neera returned home.
As the triplet caught sight of her, they swarmed around her, their voices filled with curiosity, “Mommy, did you and Uncle Jean have a nice dinner?”
Neera tenderly ruffled their hair and responded softly, “Yes, it was quite enjoyable.”
She then turned her attention to Katy, acknowledging her presence. “Thank you for your help today.”
Katy smiled warmly, replying, “You’re welcome. It’s been a while since I spent time with them. I missed them.”
Neera nodded and moved to settle onto the sofa.
However, a momentary pause disrupted her movement as she winced slightly from the soreness in her waist.
Katy quickly noticed, her brows furrowing. “Are you okay? What’s the matter?”
Neera did not expect Katy’s sharp observation, and she responded nonchalantly, “It’s nothing, just a minor twist earlier in the day. It’s a bit painful, but not that serious.”
Choosing not to elaborate, she did not want to burden the triplets with unnecessary worries.
Concerned, the triplets asked her as they frowned.
Relieved that Neera appeared fine, they eventually eased their worries.
Once Katy had left for the evening, Neera spent some quality time playing with the triplets, though fatigue began to creep over her face.
Afterward, she returned to her room. She took a shower and tended to her wound before slipping into slumber once again.
