Chapter 1125 Forever By Her Side

Jean hadn’t fallen asleep. He just lay there with his eyes closed, patiently waiting for her reply.

Upon reading her message, he couldn’t help but want to laugh. She won’t chat with me using her own identity, but she seems quite comfortable using the children’s identities.

At that moment, he chose not to call her out in good humor and was happy to communicate with her in that way.

He typed: I’m on a business trip. There’s an important matter to attend to.

Then, replaceing it amusing, he playfully teased: Why have you two been using Mommy’s phone these past couple of days? Aren’t you using your own phones anymore? Are they broken? What’s going on?

Neera was still somewhat embarrassed in the end. Jean’s straightforward question made her blush, and she quickly made up an excuse to distract him.

She typed: Mommy has been busy these past few days and didn’t carry her phone with her, so we just casually picked it up and used it.

Jean chuckled, his fingers gently caressing the screen, murmuring softly, “I never thought you’d be such a little liar…”

After a laugh, his fingers danced lightly on the screen, continuing to ask: Oh? What’s keeping her so busy that she can’t even pick up her phone? What if someone is trying to reach her?

Upon reading those words, Neera began to doubt whether he had fallen from grace. On second thought, if he found out that it was me pretending to be the kids, his tone would probably be different, right? So far, he has been typing to me in the way he types to the children.

Neera touched her nose, feeling that it was unlikely. Without giving it much thought, she continued to respond to him, feigning ignorance.

She typed: Daddy, don’t worry. If anyone tries to contact Mommy, we’ll let her know. Mommy has been busy with work these past few days and doesn’t have a moment to spare.

Jean replied: Really? Didn’t you tell me that Mommy was planning to run away with Avery? So, is she now busy helping Avery get better?

Upon seeing that, Neera experienced a slight headache. I ran off with Avery? What the heck? Did the triplets really say that to Jean? Could it be that Jean misunderstood something after receiving their messages, and that’s why he didn’t come to Essley to replace me? What the heck!

With a throbbing headache, she buried her face into the pillow, pondering over how to reply to the message.

After hesitating for two minutes, she quickly sat up and responded: It’s nothing of that sort. Mommy was only helping Mr. Cox with his treatment before, and she certainly didn’t plan to run away with him. Now that his treatment is almost over, Mommy won’t be spending too much energy on him anymore. Daddy, you mustn’t slander us. We won’t carry this blame!

Upon seeing that, Jean felt elated and beamed. So, she’s indirectly explaining things to me, huh? Although I never thought she would have anything to do with Avery, her message still eased my worry.

He pondered for a moment, then replied in a leisurely manner: Is that so? Then you need to help your daddy keep an eye on your mommy. You need to be especially careful of Avery. His intentions toward your mommy are as clear as day to everyone. However, even if there is any engagement, it doesn’t count. In this lifetime, your mommy can only be mine. Since I’m not by her side right now, it’s up to you to guard her against those with ulterior motives.

When Neera saw his possessive desire in those sweet nothings, she instantly felt as though she had fallen into a jar of honey.

She was giggling under the covers, yet coolly responded: Okay.

Since we are still at odds right now, I can’t let that man get too arrogant! She thought.

Jean didn’t mind, his mood quite good as he reminded once more: Be good, okay?

As Neera gazed at those few words, Jean’s face involuntarily surfaced in her mind. She imagined the gentleness in his voice as he spoke those words, and her longing for him deepened..

If possible, she really wished he could be by her side at that moment.

It was as if a tiny hook had snagged her emotions. She tried to resist, but her resolve crumbled, and she couldn’t help but ask: So, when are you coming to see Mommy? You two have been apart for quite some time now…

Upon reading those words, Jean felt his heart melted.

He wanted to hear her genuine thoughts about him. Thus, suppressing his excitement, he asked her a question instead: Does your mommy miss me? Aside from a few indifferent words, she still refuses to pay attention to me.

Upon reading those words, Neera inexplicably felt aggrieved.

Afraid of upsetting him, Neera hesitated for a moment but decided to follow her heart: I suppose… she does.

Nothing could bring more peace to Jean’s heart than those words.

He laughed, feeling as if all his fatigue had been swept away and everything was worth it.

He responded: If that’s the case, then I’ll replace her as soon as possible, and we’ll never part again. I’ll stay by her side forever.

Neera felt as if her heart was being coated with sugar icing, yet she also felt a touch of melancholy. How soon is as soon as possible? No matter how fast things progress, he still has to wait for me to return from Phison, right? Doesn’t that mean there are still many days to go?

At that thought, Neera felt a bit gloomy. She turned over and, facing the ceiling, sighed.

After the two had chatted casually for a while, someone came knocking at the door.

Neera quickly sat up, straightened her blanket, and changed into her regular clothes before saying, “Come in.”

Violet pushed the door open. “Neera, you’re awake. Come down and have something to eat. The meal’s ready.”

Neera nodded. “All right, I’ll come down as soon as I finish freshening up.”

By the time she had tidied herself up and descended the stairs, Avery was already waiting in the dining room. Shane was there, too.

“Did you sleep well?” Avery asked as he pulled out a chair for her.

Neera smiled gratefully and sat down. “I did. Thank you for going to the trouble of preparing such a nice guest room for me. The environment is great. I really like it.”

Avery laughed gracefully. “That’s good to hear. I was worried that you might not get used to living here. Glad to know my efforts weren’t in vain.”

Then, he changed the subject and said, “After we finish eating, I’ll take you out for a stroll.”

Neera was taken aback. “I’m already rested. Don’t I need to pay a visit to the Gordon family?”

Avery nodded. “You must, but there’s no need to rush. We should at least be fully prepared.”

He paused for a moment, then turned to Neera. “You should know what you’re up against when you go to the Gordon family this time, right?”
