Chapter 553 The Trip of Two
Neera put Garcia’s matters aside and became completely absorbed in her work.
Time passed while she was preoccupied with her work.
It was getting close to noon when Isabelle walked into her office, carrying several coupons for a hot spring
resort.
“Let’s all go to the hot springs this weekend. The weather is turning cooler. It’s a good time to relax. You’ve been back in the country for a while and working nonstop,” she urged as she rubbed Neera’s face.
“You need to take a break. We can bring Aunt Adriana and the kids too!”
Chuckling, Neera accepted the coupons and agreed, “I’ll do as you say; is that okay?”
Isabella grinned triumphantly. “That’s more like it!”

As promised, Jean picked up Neera from work in the evening.
They both get in the car to pick up the triplets from school.
“Isn’t Auntie Zuniga at home? Jean asked casually on the way. “Why do you have to pick up the kids all the time?”
Neera smiled, her eyes twi nkling.
“Children’s growth should not be without their parents,” she explained. “I want to be there for them, even if it’s as simple as picking them up from school.”
Jean cast a sideways glance at her. When he looked at her, he had a soft look in his eyes. He explained, “You’re doing a great job as a mother.”
Neera blinked and replied, “Thank you for the compliment.”
Jean answered with a smile, “You’re welcome.”
They arrived at the school gate as they were talking.
When the teacher saw the two, she couldn’t help but praise them, saying, “The two of you are such a loving couple. an exemplary parent that picks up their children together.”
Neera was a little embarrassed.
What made the teacher think we are a loving couple?
Jean maintained his stoicism and acknowledged it with a nonchalant grunt. But if one looked closely, one could see a hint of amusement in his deep eyes.
The triplets hurried over, their excitement evident upon seeing Jean greet them.
“Mommy and Daddy! You both are here!”
The term “Daddy” came naturally to the three little ones.
Even though Jean had heard it before, it gave him a warm feeling in his heart. His mood had improved, and he appeared more talkative and affectionate than before.
“Uh-huh, I’m here to take you home,” he said. “Let us say our goodbyes to the teacher.”
The triplets followed his instructions and quickly got into the car.
Over dinner, Neera discussed the vacation plans with Aunt Adriana and the triplets.
“I don’t think I can join this weekend,” Adriana said regretfully. “I have to go to Slord.”
Neera, taken aback, inquired, “Why are you visiting Slord? Do we have any issues with the project there?”
“It’s not work-related,” Adriana explained, sporting a strange expression. She said quietly, “I’m going with a friend.”
Neera inquired, remembering the man she had seen the day before, “Aunt Adriana, are you going with him?”
It was obvious who she was referring to.
Adriana, knowing she couldn’t hide it from her, openly admitted, “Yes, it’s him. We decided to travel together yesterday to meet an old friend there.”
Neera grew more curious. She asked, “Have you two gotten back together?”
Adriana chuckled. Her eyes sparkled.
“Not yet,” she clarified. We’re just friends. More accurately, he’s still pursuing me.”
“When are you going to accept him? Neera’s gossip instincts had kicked in.
Adriana paused for a moment before responding, “I’m not sure, but if there’s any good news, I’ll tell you right away.”
“Alright,” Neera said contentedly, “what a waste of those coupons.

Now it was Adriana’s turn to tease her, “Why would you feel sorry? Isn’t there someone handy? Just invite him along.”
“Someone handy-who’s that?”
Neera put on a show of innocence.
“Don’t play dumb with me,” Adriana jokes, adding, “You know who I’m talking about. The one next door!”
The triplets raised their heads in unison as Neera was about to let the coupon go to waste.
They eagerly accepted the coupon and volunteered.
“Leave it to us! We’ll give Uncle Jean the ticket and invite him!”
The children rushed out of the dining room without waiting for Neera’s response.
Neera was caught off guard, feeling a mixture of amusement and helplessness.
Next door, Jean had finished dinner and was going through some documents in the living room.
“Uncle Jean!” the triplets yelled as they ran in.
They were rushing toward Jean as he looked up. Their cheeks flushed, and their eyes twi nkled.
“Uncle Jean, Mommy invites you to the hot springs this weekend! Are you free?”
When Jean heard about the invitation, he raised an eyebrow.
It was rare for Neera to take the initiative.
When he saw the triplets’ excited and hopeful faces, he accepted the coupon and agreed, “I’m free; I can go.”
The triplets were overjoyed and on the verge of exclaiming in delight.
Satisfied, they gathered in the gazebo in their yard, plotting something.
“We should sit out of this. Let Daddy and Mommy spend the night at the hotel by themselves!”
“I’m thinking the same thing! We should enlist Godmother’s help so she can give them some alone time!”
“That might bring them closer.”
They quickly reached an agreement, feeling immensely proud of their flawless plan.
