The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean)

"Achoo!"

Neera and the three children had just arrived at the Imperial Gardens. She felt a sudden chill on her back, which made her sneeze.

The triplets turned their heads and looked at their mother.

"What's wrong, Mommy? Was the air conditioning in the car too cold?" Harvey asked.

"Are you okay, Mommy?" Sammy and Penny showed their concern as well.

Neera rubbed her nose and smiled. "It's nothing. My nose was itchy earlier. Someone's probably talking about me. I'm fine!"

"That's good to know." The triplets breathed a sigh of relief before turning their heads excitedly at the mansion in front of them. "Shall we go inside our new home?"

"Yes," Neera said and opened the front gate.

She fell in love with the place as soon as she stepped inside.

The mansions in this area were built in a classical style, and the courtyard had various features such as gazebos and artificial lakes.

They went into the three-story house. The furniture was all hand-made, and various sculptures and other works of art gave the place an air of sophistication.

The triplets loved the place too. They went around the place to take a closer look.

They found that their favorite spot was the south-facing window on the top floor.

From there, they could see everything in the mansion next to theirs.

"Daddy's yard looks very beautiful!"

"The rooms are also nicely furnished."

"I wonder which room is Daddy in..."

The triplets chattered while looking out of the window.

Penny said happily, "Imagine waking up every morning and watching Daddy through the window. It makes me excited just thinking about it!"

Harvey nodded. He was very excited too.

However, he had a worry. "There's a misunderstanding between Mommy and Daddy now, and Mommy doesn't even want to take on Daddy's case. We need to find some way to bring them closer!"

Sammy's brilliant mind immediately began to concoct a plan. "That's easy! We've just moved in, and we can invite Daddy over for dinner! Of course, the main objective is for him to taste Mommy's cooking... The saying goes that the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I'm sure Daddy will fall in love with Mommy after tasting her cooking!"

Harvey considered his younger brother's plan seriously.

It was a good idea, but it did not seem to be applicable to their Mommy and Daddy.

Penny, on the other hand, was very impressed. "You're so smart, Sammy! I think that's a good idea. Let's do it!"

Sammy said smugly, "Of course! That's how Mommy won my heart!"

Harvey was surprised. He suddenly thought that his younger brother made sense.

After deciding on the plan, they went to tell their mother about it.

Neera was not really concerned about relationships and social interactions, though she agreed that it was a good idea. If they were to live in Kingsview for the long term, it would be helpful to familiarize themselves with their neighbors.

"Alright. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients in the afternoon, and we'll invite our neighbors for dinner!"

For the rest of the morning, Neera and the children unpacked their suitcases and ordered delivery food for lunch. After that, they went to a nearby supermarket to buy groceries.

It was half past three when they returned home.

There was still some time before dinner, so Neera and the children went to the yard and played with the ball they bought.

Whenever Neera kicked the ball, she would always miss the target. The three children had to teach her patiently. "Mommy, before you kick, you should estimate the distance between the ball and the goal and use the right amount of strength to kick."

"Oh, okay. Let me try again."

Neera tried doing what they told her. She aligned her foot toward the target and raised her leg.

However, she still could not control her strength. In fact, she kicked the ball harder than before.

The ball flew out like a cannonball and fell beyond the wall!

A few seconds later, they heard the loud crash of glass breaking...

At the same time, the automatic gates of the mansion next door opened, and a black Rolls-Royce drove inside.

The person in the back seat was none other than Jean Beauvort!

He still looked slightly pale, but he was in good spirits. As the car came to a stop, he lifted his gaze from the documents in his hands.

That was when he saw a ball fly past his field of vision and hit the glass-to-ceiling window of his house!

"..." Jean was speechless.

Neera and the three children were speechless too.
