The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1164 Protect Her At All Costs

His voice was so gentle that it instantly soothed the little temper that had just flared up in Neera.

I’m so easy to please, huh?

She couldn’t help but inwardly criticize herself. She pouted and denied with a tsundere attitude, “No one. Do you need something?”

Jean lightly chuckled, his lips curling into a smile. “Ah, you’re being so cold toward me. It seems I’m the real culprit here.”

When he pointed it out, Neera’s cheeks flushed red instantly, feeling quite embarrassed.

“Hey, do you have something to ask of me? If not, I’m going to sleep now!”

After this little tiff, the girlish emotions Neera had been suppressing seemed to have ignited. She began to act more coy and capricious toward him, and it happened more and more frequently, becoming increasingly spontaneous.

Jean admired the woman she used to be-gentle yet determined, generous and brave. But he found himself even more captivated by who she’d become, especially her newfound, tantalizing edge of temperamental flair.

He knew that only he could see this unique side of her.

With this in mind, the affection in his eyes deepened, and his voice became even more gentle.

“Don’t sleep just yet. Keep me company and chat with me. I’ve been so busy these past few days, barely getting any sleep. I just want to hear your voice.”

Upon hearing this, Neera was taken aback for a moment. Only then did she belatedly realize the fatigue in his voice, along with a slight hoarseness.
