Chapter 8 When Can We Reunite

• Neera also realized that Jean had made a mistake. She said angrily, "My daughter helped you, and this is how you treat her mother!"
• Jean felt embarrassed when he heard that.
• Indeed, he was the one who attacked her before clearing up the situation. He did not expect the children to give the Supreme VIP card to their mother after all.
• Thinking of how he had attacked the woman and even removed her towel, Jean was at a loss for what to do.
• At that moment, Ian knocked on the door.
• He had returned to the suite to take his employer's clothes, but he did not expect to hear a commotion in the bathing area when he returned.
• He was afraid that his employer was in trouble, so he asked sternly, "Are you okay, Sire? Did something happen? Do you need me to call reinforcements?"
• Before Jean could answer, Neera gasped in surprise.
• It's not enough that this guy saw my naked body. Does he intend to bring his friends here too?
• I still want my dignity!
• She reflexively took a step back, crouched into the water, and shot a warning glare at Jean.
• Jean pressed his lips together when he saw that.
• It was the first time someone had looked at him like that.
• Feeling amused, he replied to Ian, "I'm fine. Guard the door and don't come in without my permission."
• Ian heard that and stayed put.
• Neera breathed a sigh of relief, though she was still angry. "Give me back my towel!"
• Jean threw the towel at her and turned his head away.
• From the corner of his eye, he could not help but see the woman's long hair floating on the surface barely covering her body. Large patches of her skin were still visible.
• Jean was not going to take advantage of her. He said, "I admit that I'm at fault for what happened earlier, but you didn't knock the door and made sure no one was inside before you came in! That makes us even."
• He stood up and stepped out of the pool.
• With only a towel wrapped around his waist, his broad shoulders and lean abdomen were a seductive combination.
• Neera hastily wrapped her body with her towel, though she could not believe what she heard.
• What do you mean, we're even? What about the part where you took my towel and saw my body?
• Neera was not going to let it slide. She wanted to argue with Jean, but he wore the bathrobe that was draped on the chair and left the bathing area.
• The door closed behind him, and Neera was left alone.
• What the heck is wrong with him? Neera thought angrily.
• She was not in the mood to relax anymore. Instead, after staying in the pool for a while to make sure that the people outside had already left, she exited the bathing area and changed her clothes.
• After that, she returned directly to the suite.
• The triplets were sitting in a row on the sofa, playing a video game. They were surprised to see their mother return so fast.
• "Mommy? Are you already done?"
• "I don't want to talk about it!" Neera put her used clothes into the laundry basket and said, "I met an annoying guy inside! He's nothing but trouble!"
• The triplets were even more surprised when they heard that.
• Annoying guy? Is she talking about Daddy?
• Harvey asked, "What did he do, Mommy?"
• Neera opened her mouth to explain, but she stopped when the words were at the tip of her tongue.
• The incident happened because her children had given her the Supreme VIP card. She knew that they meant her well, and she did not want them to blame themselves if she told them what happened.
• Instead, she said, "Never mind, what's done is done. It's the same if I take a shower in my room. We'll go to bed after that, alright?"
• The triplets replied in unison, "Yes, Mommy."
• They watched her as she went into the bathroom.
• As soon as the bathroom door closed, Sammy leaned close to the other two children and said softly, "Sounds like Mommy argued with Daddy. Did our plan fail?"
• Harvey nodded. "Looks like that's the case."
• Penny was worried. "That's a waste of a great opportunity. When can we reunite with Daddy?"
• "There's no rush," Harvey said as he patted his younger sister's head. "I'll think of something."
