The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1261

The matter of the ninth elder seat had been resolved, and news of it quickly spread throughout Phison.

This, in turn, ignited another wave of intense debate.

“The guild actually allowed the head of the Gordon family to take the ninth elder seat. I never thought those elders would agree. It seems the Gordon family has truly struck gold this time, gaining control of five districts and even joining the ranks of the elders.”

“Well, this is a perfect example of rising to greatness. It’s quite a turnaround for the underdog!”

“I’m curious about how those families who once looked down on the Gordon family are feeling now. I bet they’re envious, jealous, and resentful.”

“Exactly. Those who had previously crossed paths with the Gordon family on Mount Cloud must be regretting it so much.”

“You know, the young head of the Gordon family really has some skills. Ever since she took over, the Gordon family’s status has been steadily rising…”

Endless debates ensued, not only about the Gordon family but also about Neera, becoming a topic of conversation in Phison, discussed over cups of tea and meals.

Neera had heard about this and didn’t mind.

What frustrated her even more was that, due to the rising status of the Gordon family, many powerful families had come to curry favor with them, bringing valuable gifts to their doorstep. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

As the head of the Gordon family, Neera had to personally attend to the guests. She was so busy every day that she felt dizzy from all the running around, and her cheeks were stiff from the forced smiles.

The three little ones would occasionally hide at the corner of the stairs, sneakily peering down below, covering their mouths as they giggled.

“Mommy is a celebrity now, with so many people coming to compliment and flatter her. No one dares to underestimate her anymore!”

“Hehe, our mommy is the most, most, most formidable woman. Let’s see who dares to underestimate her in the future!”

Seeing the proud expressions on his younger siblings’ faces, Harvey patted their heads calmly.

“Don’t be too arrogant. One should be humble in life.”

Despite his words, his serious demeanor barely masked a trace of pride and self-satisfaction.

“What are you three doing hiding here?”

At that moment, Jean called out to them from the top of the stairs.

The three little ones jumped in surprise, simultaneously turning around and hurriedly gesturing for him to be quiet.

“Shh!”

Jean chuckled lightly, walking down toward the living room. With just one glance, he saw Neera sitting upright. Her face was adorned with a standard, courteous smile reserved for guests. She was quietly listening to the flattering words of the two visitors opposite her, responding politely from time to time.

Jean smiled, his eyes brimming with adoration and tenderness.

This little lady is becoming increasingly skilled at handling family matters.

“Daddy, Mommy is very impressive, right?”

The three little ones watched from the side, giggling.

Jean raised an eyebrow. “My woman is, of course, impressive. But what are you all doing here? You shouldn’t disturb Mommy when she’s busy.”

The three little ones nodded in unison. “Yeah, we know. We’re just bored. We thought that with you here, our family could enjoy some quality time together. But we didn’t expect Mommy to be so busy..

There was a gentle look in Jean’s eyes when he said, “Mommy is working very hard. You need to understand her and not cause any trouble. If you’re feeling bored, that’s an easy fix. Let’s head to the study. I’ll join you in practicing writing.”

When they heard that they had to practice writing again, their faces immediately fell.

“Practicing writing again? Lately, all we do is either practice writing or read books. We never get to relax. It’s so boring…”

Jean couldn’t help but laugh. “You three used to be so calm. How come you’ve become so restless now? It seems like going abroad has made you all a bit wild, hasn’t it?”

Sammy and Penny played with their little fingers, giggling shyly. They looked playful and adorable.

“A little, Daddy. Why don’t you join us in playing video games? Uncle Shane has specially prepared video games for us!”

Jean lightly tapped Sammy’s little head. “All you ever think about is playing.”

With a righteous tone, Sammy said, “We are just kids. It’s natural for us to love playing.”

Decisively, Penny used her ultimate weapon. She started whining while holding Jean’s hand.

“Let’s go, Daddy. Let’s play together. I can never beat Harvey and Sammy. Will you help me, Daddy?”

Jean had always been at the triplets’ mercy.

With a helpless smile, he picked up Penny in his arms.

“You guys really leave me no choice. Let’s go. Daddy will accompany you.”

As for the troublesome official duties mentioned by Tiago that had him scratching his head in frustration, he decided to let him worry about them himself.

Downstairs, Neera was engaged in a lively conversation with the person across from her, yet she couldn’t help but keep an ear out for any sounds coming from upstairs.

It seems that those three little ones can’t sit still. They’re quite bored. But I just don’t have the time to accompany them right now…

“Ms. Garcia?” The person across from her noticed her daydreaming and called out to her a couple of times.

Neera quickly regained her composure. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she hastily apologized.

The other party waved their hand with a smile. “No worries, no worries. It’s us who have been a bother. Speaking of which, we’ve disturbed you for quite a while now. It’s about time we take our leave.”

Neera was delighted inside but didn’t show it on her face. She got up to see off her guest.

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the doorbell rang again.
