The way Neera interpreted “tidying up” clearly embarrassed her; her face flushed.

She stomped her feet, feigning a pout, “Oh, I’m just worried about the Cox family, not just Avery. Don’t cause trouble; it’s a critical moment now.”

Jean, understanding her current concerns, sighed and pulled her into a seat, embracing her.
