    Chapter 1238


    The phone only rang for a few seconds before it was answered.


    Neera was quite surprised. “Hey, isn’t it five in the morning back in the country? Why are you awake so


    early?”


    Jean stood on the balcony, gazing at the night sky of Phison. He grunted in response. “You know it’s


    five in the morning, so why are you calling me at this hour?”


    Neera hesitated as she yed with her finger on the bedsheet. She whispered, “I just wanted to see if


    you were awake.”


    Jean’s eyes held a profound tenderness. He pretended not to understand and asked, “You haven’t


    contacted me for some time. Why are you suddenly calling so early?”


    Neera was aware that she was in the wrong and felt somewhat guilty.


    “Hey, why are you so distant? Are you upset? Is it because I didn’t call you in these past few days?”


    On the other end, Jean listened to her cautious inquiry. Holding back a smile, he asked indifferently,


    “What do you think?”


    Neera pouted. “I’ve been busy these days. I was dead tired when I got back, so I took a nap. I only


    woke up this afternoon, and I called you as soon as I could. Don’t be mad…”


    At this point, she hadpletely forgotten about the previous arguments between them.


    Jean’s heart nearly melted when he heard her soft voice. He was utterly captivated, and he couldn’t


    help but smile.


    This little fool is quite easy to fool.


    As he remained silent, Neera assumed he was still upset, so she continued to whine.


    “Don’t be angry, okay? Even though I couldn’t contact you, I’ve been thinking about you every day.


    Didn’t you feel it? Hmm?”


    Jean couldn’t resist her coaxing and quickly gave in. “I’m not mad. I was just teasing you. Neera, I miss


    you a lot.”


    His tender voice wasced withughter.


    Neera’s heart raced wildly as though something had struck her.


    “Hmm…” Her cheeks flushed as she smiled happily. “I miss you too. I really, really miss you…”


    The two poured out their hearts to each other, exchanging sweet nothings for a while. Suddenly, Jean


    asked, “What have you been busy with these days? You didn’t even have time to call. Don’t tell me


    you’ve locked yourself in theb again?”


    Neera hesitated and didn’t know how to respond.


    She chose to hide the truth to avoid making him worry.


    “It’s nothing much, just an election activity in Phison. As the head of the Gordon family, I got involved.”


    Jean asked again, “Was it dangerous? Did you get hurt?”


    Neera immediately denied, “Not really, it’s not that dangerous. I had someone protecting me. I didn’t


    get hurt, so don’t worry.”


    “Really?”


    “Of course!”


    Afraid that he would dig deeper, Neera quickly changed the topic.


    “Right! Speaking of which, I almost made a mistake.”


    Jean sighed inwardly. He was defeated by her strong and mature demeanor. He decided not to press


    further, simply going along with her.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “What mistake? Tell me about it.”


    Neera chuckled, a little embarrassed. “This time, I received protection from the Gordon family, and I


    also encountered a very kind family. They were all good people and provided us with a lot of help. They


    protected us no matter what happened. Among them, there was a man named Darcel Belma. At first, I


    thought he was you!”


    Upon hearing this, Jean raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Does that person look a lot like me?”


    “Not really. Your appearances arepletely different, but your auras are somewhat simr. I think he


    must be following their family head’s orders, which was why he took special care of me. During the


    election, if it weren’t for his help, I don’t know what would have happened. At first, I even thought he


    was you. But it turned out I was mistaken. Fortunately, I didn’t ask directly. Otherwise, it would have


    been embarrassing…”


    Listening to her chatter, Jean couldn’t help but smile.


    This little fool has sharp intuition. She almost caught me.


    “You need to thank himter. But how were you so sure he wasn’t me?”


    “Um…”


    Neera pondered her response carefully. “Well, he got hurt while protecting me. When I was tending to


    his injuries, I noticed a lot of old scars on his body. That was how I realized I had made a mistake.”


    Jean narrowed his gaze and teased her.


    “Oh? So, you’re saying you undressed him?”


    Neera blushed and felt a bit awkward.


    “Where is your mind wandering off to? It’s just a shirt, and I only took it off to treat his injuries. A doctor


    doesn’t pay much attention to such things when treating patients, right? Besides, back when we first


    met, I also did acupuncture for you.”


    Jean let out a soft hum.


    Neera asked, “Hey, you’re not getting jealous, are you?”


    Jean drawled, “What if I am? How do you n to make it up to me?”


    Neera couldn’t help butugh. “Why are you being jealous over something like this? A grown man like


    you acting so childishly…”


    Jean was unbothered. “What’s wrong with being a little childish when ites to matters rted to


    you?”


    The words spoken were incredibly sweet. Neera felt as if she had fallen into a honey jar, her entire


    being bubbling with happiness.


    “Okay. Be good and don’t get jealous. I’ll bring you a gift when I get back.”


    As she wasforting him as though he were a child, Jean smiled tenderly.


    “The gift isn’t important. You returning to my side is the best gift of all.”
