Chapter 1061


    Chapter 1061 Still Cannot Let Him Go


    Deep into the night, after the bedtime story had been told, the three little ones were already in a deep


    slumber.


    Sammy, usually restless, had turned over in his sleep, inadvertently trapping the nket beneath him.


    Unconsciously, he scratched his leg but continued to sleep soundly.


    Neera couldn’t help but chuckle as she gently tucked them in with the quilt. She tenderly kissed each of


    their little faces before quietly leaving the room.


    On her way back to her own room, she found herself pausing inexplicably in front of the room where


    Jean had once stayed. Her gaze lingered on the tightly closed door, and her heart was stirred with


    complex emotions.


    Even though we’ve only been apart for a few days, it feels like an eternity…


    She hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open. The room remained just as it was when


    Jean had upied it before.


    His clothes, neatly hung in the wardrobe, included both casual wear and sleepwear, all impably


    clean.


    The bed was meticulously made, not a single wrinkle in the sheets, a reflection of his neatness.


    On the bedside table sat a framed photo of her with the children, a poignant reminder of the past.


    Her heart ached as if it were being squeezed, and her emotions were a turbulent mix, difficult to calm.


    Neera picked up the photo frame and stared at it for a long while until her vision blurred with tears.


    Reluctantly, she set it down. She felt drained and exhausted as if all her energy had been sapped.


    She gave up on rational thought and wearily sat on the edge of the bed, eventually lying down. But the


    moment her head touched the pillow, she could almost smell his lingering scent, inescapable and


    persistent, burrowing into her heart.


    Suddenly, sleep eluded her. Her heart ached unbearably, her thoughts consumed by the image of that


    man. What is he doing at this very moment back in the country?


    Logic told her she should get up, leave, and stop pining for him. But emotions held her captive. Her


    body felt heavy, and she had no desire to move, allowing her mind to be lost in turmoil. Eventually, she


    drifted off to sleep without even realizing it.


    The next morning, Neera was awakened by the sunlight streaming into the room. For a moment, she


    was disoriented before recalling her surroundings.


    Looking at the empty space beside her in the bed, she felt a sense of loss. Gathering herself, she tidied


    up and prepared to leave.,


    As she stepped out of the room, she encountered Adriana, who was on her way downstairs. “Why did


    youe out of this room?” Adriana inquired with surprise.


    Neera bit her lower lip, whispering awkwardly, “I came herest night… tidied up a bit, and then…


    identally fell asleep.”


    Upon hearing this, Adriana immediately understood and sighed inwardly. This girl, she just can’t let him


    go…


    “I’m going to my room to freshen up.”


    “I’m going to my room to treshen up.”

    Neera had been worried about touching on a sensitive topic, so she found a convenient excuse to


    excuse herself from the situation.


    Adriana, understanding her niece’s emotional turmoil, didn’t press the matter further and simply


    nodded, saying, “All right,e downstairs for breakfast once you’ve freshened up.”


    After Neera had freshened up and tidied herself, she descended the stairs. She immediately spotted


    the three little ones in the courtyard, engaged in exercises with Elmer.


    Their adorable and determined efforts brought a smile to her face, lightening the gloom in her heart.


    Following breakfast, the three children expressed their desire to go outside and y with Nadine and


    the two elders. Mariah, however, clung to Neera, unwilling to leave her side.


    “Sweetie,e with us. You still seem a bit down. Join us for a change of scenery; it might lift your


    spirits,” Mariah suggested.


    Neera preferred to stay indoors, so she politely declined, saying, “I won’t be going. There are some


    matters at thepany that I want to check on.”


    Adriana chimed in, encouraging Neera, “With Neil handling thepany affairs, there’s nothing too


    pressing. You should take a break and clear your mind. Listen to your elders, dear.”


    Recognizing that her niece often kept her emotions bottled up, Adriana hoped that some rxation


    would help Neera ease her feelings.


    Feeling somewhatpelled, Neera reluctantly agreed to apany them.


    Before long, the group set out for their outing.


    They leisurely explored various attractions, chatting andughing along the way.


    Mariah, in particr, was in high spirits.

    Nadine remarked, “It’s been a while since I’ve seen Mom so happy. It’s truly heartwarming…”


    However, by the afternoon, Mariah’splexion suddenly worsened, and she vomited everything she


    had eaten at noon, causing great concern to everyone.


    Neera promptly assisted Mariah to a shaded spot to sit down and checked thetter’s pulse. After


    confirming the pulse pattern, she breathed a sigh of relief.


    “There doesn’t seem to be anything seriously wrong. It’s likely a result of the long journey and the fact


    that her health isn’t the best. She might not have adjusted well to the new environment.”


    This assessment eased the anxiety of those present. Their interest in continuing their leisure activities


    waned, and they decided it was best to send everyone back to rest.
