Chapter 1015 Being Spoiled
Jean found himself coaxed by her charm and had no choice but topromise, allowing her to have
her way.
“You’re just taking advantage of the fact that I like you, knowing I can’t resist!”
“Hehe, this is what you call ‘being spoiled’,” Neera responded with a cheerful smile, bidding him
farewell before heading into the research institute.
Once there, she immediately immersed herself in the busy work of drug development, dedicating
herself entirely to the task.
She worked tirelessly throughout the day, not even taking a moment to rest except for a brief lunch
break.
In the afternoon, Edward suddenly called, “Sorry to bother you, but Grandma is insisting on seeing you.
Is it convenient for you right now? If it’s okay, can I bring her over to Imperial Gardens now?”
Upon hearing this, Neera apologized, “I’m not at home right now, I’m sorry. Let’s do it another time. I’ll
call you when I’m done with work.”
“I see…”
Edward said helplessly, “All right then, you go ahead with your work. Remember to rest.”
Neera had initially wanted to hang up but heard Mariah making a fuss on the other end.
“I want to see my baby girl, why won’t you let me…”
She furrowed her brow, recalling thest time Mariah had ventured out on her own, and couldn’t help
but feel
uneasy.
In the end, she simply changed her mind and gave them her address. “Forget it, it’s hard for you guys
to appease Granny with all her fussing. I’m at the research institute now, just bring her here.”
Edward broke into a smile. “All right, I’ll send her over right away!”
Half an hourter, Edward arrived with Elmer and Mariah.
Katy helped with the reception, weing them in.
“Neera is working in theb. It might take a while. Perhaps you could wait in the reception room?”
“Baby girl, where is my baby girl…”
Marnie was eager to see Neera as soon as she stepped in.
Upon seeing the situation, Edward gave Katy a polite smile and said, “Thank you, but that won’t be
necessary. We’ll just wait outside Neera’sb.”
Katy didn’t ask any further. She simply nodded and led them over.
Theboratory was made entirely of transparent ss. When the three of them arrived, they could
clearly see Neera busy at work.
Mariah approached the ss door as she called out, “Baby girl, baby girl…”

Let’s not
Upon seeing Neera, Mariah nodded contentedly, no longer causing a fuss. She patiently waited
outside, her gaze unwaveringly fixed on Neera’s figure.
They spent two long hours waiting before Neera eventually emerged.
She rubbed her tired neck and, as she turned around, noticed three people standing outside the ss
door.
It was then that she recalled their nned visit.
“Why are you waiting here?”.
Neera removed her mask andb coat and then walked out. “There are sofas in the reception room. It’s
morefortable to sit there.”
Edward chuckled. “It’s fine, I quite enjoy watching you bustling about.”
Neera apologized, “I’m sorry, I was so engrossed in an important experiment that Ipletely forgot.”
Just as Edward was about to tell her it was okay, Mariah stepped forward and took her hand. “Baby girl,
are you tired? It must be hard, isn’t it?”
Neera smiled, gently gripping Mariah’s hand in return. “I’m fine, I’m not tired.’
At this moment, Edward spoke up again. “You left in such a hurry yesterday, and you didn’t look well. I
didn’t get a chance to ask you, did something happen?”
Neera shook her head. “It’s nothing, just a friend who was in a bit of trouble, but it’s all sorted out now.”
Neera graciously led them to the reception room and personally served coffee to entertain her guests.
“Grandpa, this is top-grade coffee. Give it a taste and see how you like it. If it’s to your liking, I’ll get you
a couple of boxes.”
Her casual use of the term “Grandpa” warmed Elmer’s heart.
However, true to his reputation for maintaining a proud and stern demeanor, he remainedposed
and didn’t show much emotion.
“The coffee is excellent, and your coffee-brewing skills are impressive,” he calmlyplimented after
savoring the coffee.
Then, he returned to the topic at hand. “Do you typically spend most of your time at the research
center?”
“No, sometimes I also handle the affairs of thepany.”
“Isn’t that very tiring?”
Elmer wasn’t too pleased with her working on both sides.
Neera chuckled. “It’s not tiring at all. I’m already used to it, this is nothing.”
The family engaged in conversation for a while, but then a colleague arrived to summon Neera,
indicating an issue in research and development that required her attention.

Recognizing the situation, Elmer rose from his seat and stated, “You go ahead with your work. We can
meet another day.”
At this, Mariah’s smile instantly faded, and she clung to Neera’s hand, clearly reluctant to see her go.
“Baby girl, can youe home tonight? I’ll be waiting for you at home.”
Neera hesitated for a moment and said apologetically, “I might have to workte these next few days,
so I won’t be able to return home for a while.”
Mariah’s disappointment was clearly visible. It was as if she was a wronged child.
Neera quicklyforted, “If you miss me, just video call me. When I have some free time, I’lle and
join you for a meal.”
Mariah’s mood immediately brightened up again.
“All right, I’ll make your favorite dish for you. Baby girl, you muste back…”
After that, the three of them left.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
