Neera had never expected him to say such a thing. Her emotions were somewhat pacified, yet they simultaneously grew more complex.

Jean simply looked at her expression, and a wave of heartache washed over him. He raised his hand, gently smoothing out the furrow in her brow.

“Don’t overthink it. I’ll handle things with my parents. As for the kids, they all love you and understand you. They also can’t accept the harm my parents have caused you and are willing to wait for your forgiveness.”

He moved closer, planting a kiss as light as a feather on her forehead.

“So, it’s not about being selfish or not. If you’re hurt, you have every right to be upset, every right to refuse. Do you

understand?”

Neera did not know what to say.

Waves of emotion radiated across the lake of her heart, ceaselessly brimming with poignant feelings of understanding and acceptance. The joy and satisfaction of being cherished flowed out unrestrained.

She couldn’t help but smile as if reconciling with herself and surrendering to happiness willingly.

She winked playfully and said in a crisp voice, “Next time you call the old folks, tell them not to keep bringing up the past. It affects our unity. The kids really hope for a complete family, and they can’t be left out.”

Jean was taken aback at first, but then he laughed heartily. He pinched her little nose, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

Upon returning home, Neera chose to join Adriana in the kitchen, bustling about. The two planned to prepare a feast themselves, aiming to treat everyone to a satisfying meal.

After chatting with Chad for a while, Jean asked about the situation with Shane. Upon learning that everything was going smoothly, he excused himself to attend to some official business and went upstairs to his study.

lan was called in by him.

“Has the Cox family been causing all the recent troubles at the Bartitsu Guild?”

“Yes, the Cox family has launched a retaliation against the Hoffman, Watson, and Quigley families this time. Some of their methods are considered legal, but some are clearly against the rules. However, the Cox family operates very covertly, leaving no trace of evidence. Even if the guild suspects them, there is no evidence to prove it.”

“How much has the Gordon family been involved in these matters? Could they be playing with fire?”

“The Gordon family was only involved in a very small part, specifically arranged by the Cox family. They were not dangerous actions, so they wouldn’t cause any trouble.”

“That’s good, then.”

“Mr. Beauvort…” lan hesitated, struggling to replace the right words.

“Speak your mind.”

“Well, the Quigley family and the Hoffman family are relatively easy to deal with. Even though they hold seats among the elders, their strength pales in comparison to the Cox family. However, the Watson family is a different story. The Watson family is second only to the Cox family. Over the years, they’ve been openly and secretly competing, constantly tripping up the Cox family. Although their power is not as strong as the Cox family, they are not to be underestimated and cannot be easily toppled. I’m afraid this time, the Cox and Watson families will fight to the death. The commotion they’ll cause will be no small matter.”

Jean furrowed his brows, showing a hint of displeasure..

He recalled Neera’s minor complaints today and the possibility that the Gordon family might get involved in this dispute, which inevitably made him feel agitated.

In this situation, he didn’t want to keep Neera and the children here.

“How have things been at Lordsworth Estate recently?” he asked.

lan was taken aback. As he pondered over the implications, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat surprised.

“Mr. Beauvort, are you planning to take Mrs. Beauvort back to Lordsworth Estate?”

Jean stood by the window, watching the three little ones playing happily downstairs. Their innocent and radiant smiles reflected in his eyes.

“Yes, I’m considering that.”

After some thought, lan said, “I’m not entirely sure about the specific situation at Lordsworth Estate. I’ll contact Mr. Wiley right away and ask him to give you a detailed report.”

Late into the night, not long after Neera had fallen asleep, Colin’s call came through.

“My Lord, you were looking for me.”

Jean got straight to the point. “What’s the situation over at Lordsworth Estate?”

Colin honestly replied, “Everything remains the same, all under control.”

Then, he asked, “From what I gather from Mr. Ian, you intend to take Lady Phison back to Lordsworth Estate?”

Jean responded with a hum, then said, “Yes, and no.”

Colin expressed his confusion. “My Lord, are you suggesting…”

“The Bartitsu Guild has been in constant turmoil recently, and I suspect there will be even more upheaval in the future. The Gordon family might also get involved. I think it would be safest for Neera to stay away from this trouble and return to Lordsworth Estate. However, we’re not going back to the headquarters.”

Now Colin understood. “So, which district are you planning to go to?”

After a brief silence, Jean said, “District Ten.”

That place was the best area, boasting the finest cultural landscapes and natural scenery. There were also many interesting spots, which he believed the children would love.

Colin said, “I got it. I’ll arrange it right away. Rest assured that apart from a few high-ranking individuals in District Ten, no one will recognize you. As for those high-ranking individuals, I’ll warn them in advance. Your identity will still be kept confidential.”

Then, he asked again, “Is there anything else you need me to take care of for you?”

Jean said in a soft voice, “No. I’ll do it myself.”

He did not want Neera to notice anything.

He added, “Keep an eye on the Cox family at all times. If they show any signs of weakness, lend a hand in time. But remember, be discreet about it. Don’t let them realize that it’s the work of the people at Lordsworth Estate.”
