When Neera returned to Imperial Gardens and entered the house, she immediately heard the triplets’ dulcet laughter echoing in the house.
While changing shoes, she wondered why were the triplets so happy.
As she walked into the living room, she immediately spotted Isabella sitting cross-legged on the carpet, playing games with the triplets.
There was a pile of newly unboxed toys next to her, clearly brought by her.
“Bell? When did you get here? Why didn’t you tell me earlier so I could have come home sooner!”
Neera was pleasantly surprised. She dropped her bag and walked over with a smile.
“Huh? You’re back! Come here and let me give you a hug. I’ve missed you terribly!” Upon seeing her, Isabella was also very excited.
She quickly got up, spread her arms wide, and gave her a big bear hug. “You rascal. You lost.contact after going abroad. You could at least send a message or make a call. I thought you had forgotten about me and had no plans to return!”
Neera chuckled lightly, patting her on the back. “How could I forget you? Even when I was abroad, I was just too busy, swamped with all sorts of things, and didn’t get around to contacting you. I was thinking of inviting you over for a meal when I got back. I didn’t expect you to come over first.”
Isabella was somewhat satisfied. Only then did she let go of her. She took her hand and twirled her around twice, scrutinizing her from head to toe, back and forth.
Neera was dizzy from the spinning. “All right. That’s enough. Others might think you’re doing a waltz.”
Isabella hummed twice, paused; and lightly tapped her forehead. “You heartless one. I’m just worried about you. Look at you. It’s only been a little over a month since you left. How did you manage to lose so much weight?”
Neera pulled Isabella to sit down and chatted with her about life over there.
“Isn’t that the truth? First, my aunt Adriana fell ill, and then I had to manage the company. After that, all sorts of messy things happened. With all of that going on, I hadn’t really had a chance to rest properly.

When Isabella arrived, she had already listened to the triplets vividly recounting the story, giving her a basic understanding of Neera’s affairs.
“Hey, what’s going on with you? Are you having some kind of bad luck streak? What exactly has been happening during your time abroad that you keep running into so many problems?”
Isabella only knew the outcome, not the process. Neera sat with her on the couch and elaborated.
Upon hearing that it was Kyra who orchestrated the whole thing, Isabella was infuriated. She leaped from the couch, picked up a pillow, and squeezed it hard.
“This Two-Faced Kyra is so shameless, calling herself the young lady of the Marks family! What a joke! Even a roadside beggar has more conscience than her! I bet her heart is as black as night. She’s utterly shameless!” she cursed loudly and angrily, but due to her upbringing and manners, she couldn’t utter anything too offensive.

All she could do was repeat the same things over and over again.

Neera was amused by her enraged demeanor. At the same time, the sight caused warmth to fill her chest. She gently pulled Isabella to sit down.
“All right. It’s all in the past now. Kyra, on the other hand, isn’t that lucky. Her life is a mess now.’
“I know about this. The internet was in an uproar a couple of days ago. Everyone was wondering who Kyra had offended. I was pondering about it, too. I never related it to this matter. She brought it upon herself. She deserves it!” Livid, Isabella grumbled a few more words before finally stopping.
Then, as if recalling something, she looked at Neera with guilt. “By the way, how are things between you and Jean now?”
Before, Jean had rushed to her place, demanding to know the identities of the triplets. After that, he left the country, leaving her in a state of constant anxiety, worried that he might not be able to hold back and spill the truth. In that case, wouldn’t Neera know I’ve sold her out?
Neera didn’t overthink. At the mention of Jean, a touch of tenderness filled her eyes. She smiled and said, “We’re all right. He proposed to me, and I accepted.”
“Really? That’s fantastic!” Isabella was genuinely happy for her.
Judging by her tone, it seemed that the events from a few years ago had not yet been revealed. In her happiness, she subconsciously glanced toward the triplets.
As if they were able to read each other’s mind, the triplets subtly signaled her with their eyes, hinting that she mustn’t spill the beans.
Relieved, Isabella quickly changed the subject.
“Oh
my, it’s rare for you to come back. You must join us for dinner tonight. It’s my treat!”
Neera would naturally not stand on ceremony with her and readily agreed, “Sure thing.”

The triplets also gathered around, lying on the edge of the couch, playfully giggling and acting cute.
“Mommy, Godmother, there’s no time like the present. How about we go now? Let’s go to the amusement park for some fun. What do you say?”
“Sure!” Isabella was more than happy to spend more time with them. She readily agreed, “You guys are in charge today. Whatever you want, I will make it happen!”
Neera couldn’t help but laugh and decided to just go along with it.
When she left, she sent a message to Jean, informing him about her itinerary.
Jean initially wanted to borrow Zephyr from her. However, after seeing the message, he felt uneasy about her being alone without protection. Thus, he had to temporarily give up on his plan, deciding to have Zephyr and Cloud take action tonight instead.
After all, it was easier to get things done when the night was dark.
So he quickly replied, telling them to have a good time and to meet up for dinner.
