The Enigmatic Return By Juliana. Spicy - Season 2 Episode 72

Jean was aware that the situation was making Neera feel awkward. Noticing
how uncomfortable she looked, he decided that he would make some
excuse to send his parents on their way.
However, before he could say anything, Frederic stalled him, looking
unhappy. “Please don’t try to change our minds. You know how distressed
your mother and I get when your condition flares up; we can’t stop worrying.
We’ll stay just to make sure everything is alright. If nothing happens tonight
and you’re okay, we’ll go home tomorrow.”
In the face of this, Jean had no choice but to swallow his words and let the
matter rest.
Once Neera and Jean went back to the bedroom, they stared at each other
awkwardly, completely at a loss for words.

Neera broke the long silence. “I understand we’ve got to at least act as if
94%
we’re husband and wife on occasion, and I have no problems with that. But
we can’t…do this all the time, you know.”

Jean pursed his lips wryly. “I’m sorry about this. My parents only visit on rare
occasions; they won’t always show up to keep an eye on us. Regardless, I’m
afraid you’ll be somewhat inconvenienced tonight. You can take the bed.”
Neera felt so exasperated she could scream. The issue wasn’t who slept on
the bed and who slept on the floor! Both of them were in a sham marriage;
sleeping together like this in the same room made it seem as if they were
truly husband and wife after all…
Nonetheless, desperate times required desperate measures. This situation
had been forced upon them; she had no choice but to continue playing her
part.
In resignation, she called the triplets to inform them what was going on.
“Mommy’s not going to be back till much later tonight. The three of you go to
bec fist and cont wat up for me. I say goodnight now, aright? Be good.”
When the three children heard this, they were delighted. “Oh, that’s great! It’s
fre Mommy! You dont read to worry about us, we’ll go to bed like good little

tonight?” With that, they hurtedly hung up, cifraid that Neerd would regret her

Neero stored at the phone bionty. Why did she get the feeling that those
three inde roscas didn’t want her to go home?
Once the call ended, she recalled what she had been intending to do before
the Beauvors interrupted the proceedings. “I need to give you a second
injection, so brace yourselff for a bit. Since your condition just flared up last
night, you might still feel considerable discomfort after your medication. I’ll
increase the dosage, but for best results, I’ll also need to do some
therapeutic ma**age to increase your blood circulation. It might be
uncomfortable, so just bear with it for a while, okay?”

Jean nodded. “That’s fine.” He stripped and lay face down on the bed so
Neera could treat him.

Since the injection dosage had been increased, the risks of adverse reactions
were also higher. Neera was extra alert and cautious; as the ma**age
progressed, she constantly checked on how Jean was feeling. “Does it hurt if I
do this?”
Jean’s face was half-buried in the pillow; his voice was mu ffled but he
seemed to be bearing up under whatever discomfort he might be
experiencing. “It’s fine, go ahead. I can take it.”
His voice, already deep at the best of times, was now even lower and slightly
gravelly, his breathing a little strained and unsteady.
All this while, the bedroom door had been unlocked.
Frederic and Wrenn stood outside the threshold, rooted to the spot in shock.
They had come to check on Jean but now felt as if they had inadvertently
intruded into an awkward situation.

Chapter 172 Truly Husband And Wife
After a while, both parents exchanged glances, then stole back to the guest
room, feeling slightly resentful and put out. Frederic could not help
contrasting his son’s day-to-day aloof, reserved behavior with this sudden
unexpected display of blatant indecency…

Jean was unaware that his parents had completely misunderstood what
was going on. By the time his treatment was done, he was covered in sweat,
and his face was pale. Neera gave him a pill to take, then sent him to the
bathroom with a sachet of herbs, instructing him to take a herbal bath in the
tub for a specific amount of time.
Jean did as she asked. He emerged from the bathroom only when the time
was up, his hair still damp. He had put on a dressing gown which gaped
slightly at the neck, revealing a glimpse of his lean, muscled chest.
Try as Neera might, she could not keep her eyes off him. There was
something irresistibly alluring and sensual about Jean currently, and she
found herself eyeing him with interest for a moment…
Jean began toweling his hair dry. Glancing at Neera, he commented, “You
Chapter 172 Truly Husband And Wife
can go take a bath now.”

Neera hesitated but did not budge. “I don’t have a change of clothes.”

At this hour, Zuniga was likely asleep; she could not very well go back and
wake her up just to get some clothes.
Jean blinked. “Well, you can bring a few outfits by next time and leave them
here, just in case you need them in the future.”
Neera pursed her lips slightly in a moue of disapproval. “Your parents are
already asleep by now; I can leave, right?”
Jean shook his head. “I think you’d better stay. Knowing them, they’ll come by
sometime again tonight to see how I am. If you’re not here, that’ll be difficult
for me to explain away.”
